Faith Communities Partnering with Rehab Professionals to Save Lives
On August 5th and 6th, 2004, people from both the faith based community and drug rehabilitation field, including 20 churches and 25 drug rehab groups from 21 different cities and towns, gathered at the lovely new Reed

Conference Center in Oklahoma City for a two-day conference on substance abuse. The conference was co hosted by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) and Narconon International, along with Oklahoma’s Narconon Arrowhead drug rehabilitation and training center.

The theme of the conference, “Faith communities partnering with rehabilitation professionals to save lives,” was certainly achieved as many church members and rehab professionals decided to join together to learn and apply new skills for their congregations and communities. In introductory remarks, Clark Carr, President of Narconon International, stated, “Why is Narconon here to greet you at a faith-based and community partners initiative conference on drug rehabilitation? First, we are a community partner…someone who works to bring the faith community and professionals in the treatment and prevention community together.”

“Why are we here in Oklahoma City? Here are just some of the statistics necessitating it: 2 out of 3 adults arrested in Oklahoma City tested positive for drug use, Also, methamphetamine labs are being busted statewide at an alarming rate. In other words, we have work to do.”

CLIFTON MITCHELL, Coordinator, SAMHSA Faith-Based and Community Partners Initiative, spoke both days, encouraging church members to work with rehab professionals and to apply for grants from the government.

“We have a fight on our hands. We have a war going on in our own communities. I mean a real war, a mean war….The way the economy is now, you can’t sit back. You have to form coalitions, become more political. … It is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. … It is your tax money. And all the President of the United States is saying to you is, ‘We want you to come to this table because we need you. The government can’t do it on its own. We need your help.’”

KYLE McGRAW, Director of Substance Abuse Services under the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, “Some years back when I ran my own treatment program, I realized that many pastors, perhaps through unfamiliarity or ignorance, did not really know what treatment was. If I could leave you with one nugget to take home with you, it would be ‘Get to know the treatment provider in your community.’ Sit down with them over a cup of coffee. Invite them into your church study. Some you may like. Some you may not. But some you will find fit with your belief and faith.”

Narconon & SAMHSA
First Regional Oklahoma Faith-Based and Community Partners Conference
August 5-6, 2004

On August 5th and 6th, 2004, over 100 people from both the faith-based community and drug rehabilitation field, including 20 churches and 25 drug rehab groups from 21 different cities and towns, gathered at the lovely new Reed Conference Center in Oklahoma City for a two-day conference on substance abuse. The conference was co-hosted by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) and Narconon International, along with Oklahoma's Narconon Arrowhead drug rehabilitation and training center.

Speakers from around the country conducted workshop and plenary sessions, sharing their knowledge of substance abuse treatment and prevention, coalition building, grant writing, drug-free withdrawal techniques, and other topics.

"Why is Narconon here to greet you at a faith-based and community partners initiative conference on drug rehabilitation? First, we are a community partner... someone who works to bring the faith community and professionals in the treatment and prevention community together. Why are we here in Oklahoma City? Here are just some of the statistics necessitating it: 2 out of 3 adults arrested in Oklahoma City tested positive for drug use, according to a 2003 Drug Policy Information Clearinghouse Report. Also, methamphetamine labs are being busted statewide at an alarming rate. In other words, we have work to do.

"Whether or not any of the people above are in your congregation or in your program, let me suggest--they are within your reach. You could help them if you knew more about the subject, if you knew more about each other. And that is our final purpose here--to help introduce you to each other."

~~ Clark Carr - President, Narconon International

"We have a fight on our hands. We have a war going on in our own communities. I mean a real war, a mean war. Unless we become more pro-active, we are going to lose this war.

"Our young people, our future leaders are being caught up in this. We have grandmothers taking care of their grandkids because the parents are on drugs or in jail. The way the economy is now, you can't sit back. You have to form coalitions, become more political. There are organizations that have gotten substantial dollars, providing services--housing, transportation, food services. It is the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.... It is your tax money. And all the President of the United States is saying to you is, 'We want you to come to this table because we need you. The government can't do it on its own. We need your help."

~~ Clifton Mitchell - Coordinator,
SAMHSA Faith-Based and Community Partners Initiative

"Some years back when I ran my own treatment program, I realized that many pastors, perhaps through unfamiliarity or ignorance, did not really know what treatment was. If I could leave you with one nugget to take home with you, it would be 'Get to know the treatment provider in your community.' Sit down with them over a cup of coffee. Invite them into your church study. Some you may like. Some you may not. But some you will find fit with your belief and faith."

~~ Kyle McGraw
Director of Substance Abuse Services

"The burden of responding to social need for decades and even centuries has been borne by the faith community. Government in the history of man has been a relative newcomer in providing social services, and we welcome its participation... Some problems are too broad or complex for one church or faith to put their arms around. What is necessary today is for both groups--government and faith--to co-labor to address this problem of alcohol and other drug addiction."

"The government is asking, 'Help us fulfill and satisfy a secular problem we have in society.' As long as you are willing to help us satisfy and address this secular concern--homelessness, poverty, drug addiction--you are welcome to compete for federal funds. Just give us the best proposal to show that you have the qualifications to solve this problem. The funds just cannot be used for inherently religious activity."

~~ Brad Yarbrough
Director of the Oklahoma Office
of Faith-Based and Community Initiative

"I've been working for the last 10 years on the Community Building Initiative and I am completely passionately sure that if we don't do something about substance abuse, we can't rebuild communities. You cannot rebuild a community when the residents of a community are poisoned.... Until we do something about this issue, the kind of things that we have as dreams for the community, I don't think they will happen; so as far as I'm concerned, you guys are on the front line."

~~ William E. Link, Ph.D.

"White Bison has been in existence 16 years. We have a Council of Elders including people from the white, red, yellow, and black races.... From our Elders we have learned that we are given 4 gifts for healing: The gift to forgive the unforgiveable (our ancestors within must forgive); Healing power; Unity; and Hope (the ability to dream)."

~~ Don Coyhis - White Bison, Inc.

"We learned that a coalition of a small number of churches with the same goals and objectives would be far more manageable and far more effective than a coalition of 60 churches.... Our federal grant does not allow us to proselytize, but we are allowed to have all Christ-centered staff. What we can do is provide services that help people to be more effective in their recovery. Some churches wanted only to preach the Gospel and, therefore, did not want to be involved, but others did realize they wanted to be part of a program that would simply provide services that would help people turn their lives around--housing, transportation, etc.... Some people ask us why we are so committed to helping them. They can come to our churches to find out that answer, but we do not preach in the program."

~~ David Whiters -
Level II Addictions Counselor

"My faith was tested by the demon of drug addiction in my congregation. I learned that tools existed where I could do something both practically and spiritually helpful to the addict, helping confront taking that terrible first step--coming off drugs. The Narconon First Step has taught me how with the resources my church and I had, not more, but just what already existed, and skills that I can apply with my own hands and with the help of a friend or family member of an addict, to help that addict voluntarily to confront stepping down off drugs, with the help of natural vitamins and minerals and hands-on techniques that allow him or her to feel that it is going to be okay, one step at a time..."

~~ Rev. James McLaughlin
Houston Greater Ward AME Church Pastor,
Certified Pastoral Counselor

Dr. John Martin, Professor of Psychology and Family and
Preventive Medicine at San Diego State University
Motivational Counseling
Dr. John Martin's workshop brought together scientific motivational counseling with spiritual/religious approaches to the problem of motivating addicts to reach for treatment:

"Motivational interviewing is really a way of being with people, not labelling them or trying to force them out of denial. We don't use that term 'denial' so much anymore. People know they have a problem whether they admit it or not. And people don't have to label themselves to change....
Studies have shown that a therapist's empathy can be a core predictor of change--empathy, not sympathy. Sympathy is feeling sorry for a person and is never helpful, but always destructive. Empathy is a loving, standing with them. We don't want to push them or drag them. We want to be with them, love them, and we want to listen to them. We're good listeners and helpers, and we provide resources when they are ready and would like that."

"One of the causes of pain--pain is caused by having your reality shattered. Pain is caused by having your reality overwhelmed by some other's reality. When our reality has been overwhelmed by another person's or another group's reality we become that which we are overwhelmed by. If we are overwhelmed by a bully, most times we become a bully. ... If we allow our nation, our communities and our education to be overwhelmed by drug dealers and pharmaceutical companies, we will become a nation of drug addicts and drug pushers."

~~ Rev. Alfreddie Johnson
World Literacy Crusade

"To ensure diversity in your organization, you should ask "Who's not here?"... Another rule of thumb in prevention: I ask myself, "If I had been told that, would that have helped me?" If not, it's not useful.... Look at the Search Institute's website and their "40 Things to Do."... Don't do programs to kids. They won't like it. They won't come. It won't keep them off drugs. Do them with kids. Invite them in up front. Recruit kids to work with you, and train them. These are future doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs, ambassadors. We get them when they are 17 or 18. You can't believe the scholarships these kids are getting. They get them because they go in for their college interviews and, when asked "What's your community service?", they can talk for hours....

"Keep positive. Research shows that prevention CAN and DOES work. Drug prevention affects many things in the world of kids--school attendance, kid pregnancy, many things."

~~ Lisa Stein
Director of Wichita
Mountains Prevention Network

"I came wanting to help instruct and teach, but spent my entire time learning. I leave knowing much more than when I came. I want to thank you for that."

~~ Clark Carr
President Narconon International:

"In today's war, as Clifton says, we can afford to have only one attitude--that we are brothers and sisters. We are co-laborers who need to collaborate with one another. We are soldiers fighting a war.... The government does not want to run the church's shop.... I see a movement afoot where we are learning to work together without compromising. The church has a divine mandate, and the government has a political mandate--to reach the men and women who are struggling and need our help. I am here to say that these kind of conferences are needed and helping us to do that."

~~ Brad Yarbrough, Director of the Oklahoma Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiative:

"Thank you for being here and making this commitment. Thank you on behalf of Charles Currie, Administrator of SAMHSA, and Dr. Westley Clark, Director of CSAT. I want you to know that those two gentlemen support you. And, yes, we will have another conference. Thank you."

Pg's 13-18 of Mary Reisers first deposition. She is lying. She didnt come to Chilocco to do on-site training. She audited staff. She never worked with students as I was a (post left out on purpose) there during that time as well as a (Post left out on purpose). No one ever sent her students to work with. EVER. She was there soley to audit staff. She audited like 10-15 staff there, me included.

The "seminars" Kent gave to get the certifications were him telling the staff the answers to the test and then administering the test knowing the staff had answer keys. I saw him do this. Only two or three staff had the necessary, verifiable hours on the different aspects of their required hours. I was one of them. The cert meant nothing to me after I saw how the cheating was done and I brought it to my seniors attention and nothing happened as a result. All for the "greater good". Kent was later selling CADC certs to Narconon's with no testing done or hours. PITA group he calls it. What a joke.

NN Int is absolutely in the business of running the centers. Them saying they are just enforcing the licensing is BS. They have conducted B of I's, Comm Ev's been involved with who gets hired and fired at many different centers that I worked at.

I will post more specifics on the lies in the depositions shortly....

World Literacy Crusade

The World Literacy Crusade (WLC) is a grass-roots literacy movement founded by a Baptist Minister as a response to the civil disturbances that shook Los Angeles in 1992.

Reverend Alfreddie Johnson, Jr., and award-winning musician and songwriter, the late Isaac Hayes, teamed up with local leaders, parents, youth and educators who wanted to change conditions in their neighborhoods. They were looking for effective solutions to the growing rates of illiteracy, drug addiction and criminal activity that were literally tearing their communities to pieces. Study Technology offered them the solution to illiteracy—they had seen the results for themselves and they knew it worked.

These concerned citizens then formed an alliance between people trained in Study Technology and affiliated organizations that could help with the issues of drugs and crime.

Today, the World Literacy Crusade operates programs in local schools, tutoring centers and juvenile detention facilities. It has grown into an international movement, with volunteers operating in Canada, Australia, Greece and Africa. Its programs use the study and drug rehabilitation methodologies developed by L. Ron Hubbard to provide individuals with the basic tools they need to become literate, responsible, self-sufficient and employable. If you would like more information about the World Literacy Crusade you may contact them at:

Since 1993, World Literacy Crusade has worked in partnership with Applied Scholastics International™ to create programs that are designed to teach people how to learn without any confusion.

The "Minister"

The "Minister" teaching how to give an assist to relieve pain as part of an Interfaith Conference sponsored by Narconon

Touch Assists back to top ↑
During the initial Drug-Free Withdrawal stage of the Narconon programme, "assists are also incorporated to help get the individual oriented with his/her environment, to get them in communication with the body's natural healing processes and to deliver the person from the constant obsession to use that is common in the withdrawing drug addict." [see <http://www.california-drug-rehab.com/program2.html>] Touch assists were first developed by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s as an form of "laying on hands". The theory behind their use is, unfortunately, gibberish as far as scientific accuracy is concerned.
According to Hubbard [in "Touch Assists - Correct Ones", Board Technical Bulletin of 7 April 1972, revised 23 June 1974], nerve impulses "travel at 10 ft a second" (in fact, it is closer to 600ft/sec - cf. Curtis & Barnes, Biology, 1989). The brain itself is "a shock cushion, that is all" (a meaningless statement). When an injury or other physical pain is inflicted, "the energy from a shock will make a standing wave in the body" (untrue). The purpose of a "touch assist" is to "unlock the standing waves that are small electronic ridges of nervous energy that is not flowing as it should" (since there are no such things as "small electronic ridges of nervous energy", a meaningless statement). To cushion the impact of a shock, "the wave is slowed down as it goes through body, like at each joint. There are brain cells at each joint absorbing the shock." (Brain cells outside the brain?) A nerve can be overloaded by heavy use during an acute shock, leading to pain being bottled up in a particular place: "when enough heavy charge goes through a nerve it stops passing the charge through and just builds it up. A touch assist will bring the flow back and the suspended pain, cold, electrical charges end muscle command will blow through." (Untrue; nerves transmit pain, rather than storing it).
According to the Scientology Handbook,

Every single physical illness stems from a failure of the being to communicate with the thing or area that is ill. Prolongation of a chronic injury occurs in the absence of physical communication with the affected area or with the location of the spot of injury in the physical universe.
When attention is withdrawn from injured or ill body areas, so are circulation, nerve flows and energy. This limits nutrition to the area and prevents the drain of waste products.
A Touch Assist helps handle the factors of time and location when a person has been injured. Part of his attention is stuck in the past moment and place of the impact. The assist restores the person to the present and thus permits healing to occur.
["Touch Assist - Assists for Illnesses and Injuries", <http://www.scientologyhandbook.org/sh6_4.htm>]
Significantly, Scientologists are required to administer touch assists before physical healing is given:

Where a person has been injured, your objective should be to get to him and give him a Touch Assist before anyone gives him a painkiller. If the body has been very badly damaged, the person may still be in agony after your assist, but you will have gotten some of the shock off. At this point a medical doctor could administer a painkiller and repair the physical damage. Of course, if the person needs immediate treatment for excessive pain, you would not prevent it from being administered and would then deliver the Touch Assist when the person was more comfortable.
["Touch Assist - Assists for Illnesses and Injuries", <http://www.scientologyhandbook.org/sh6_4.htm>]
Touch assists and the theory behind them are found only in Scientology, and have no medical foundation whatsoever. Again, as with theories on drug effects, Narconon is wholly reliant on a fringe religious dogma rather than hard science.

Changing the subject a bit - I'm amazed the Mary Rieser was allowed to speak on camera. She is probably the only clam in the last three years that actually agreed (or was given the permission) to be interviewed. I'm not saying she did a good job, but she looked umm....human, which came as a surprise to me. I expected some weird looking alien I suppose.

Over 150 people attended the Grand Opening of the first Narconon center in Houston, Texas, on August 21st, 2004. Rev. James McLaughlin was five years into his ministry with the Ward AME Church when, as he says, "My faith was tested by the demon of drug addiction in my congregation. I looked for who could get results in this daily crisis that we like so many others are suffering through... drug abuse in our neighborhoods. I found those results in the Narconon program."
He and his wife, Cleo, went to Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma and took the course training them how to deliver the Narconon® First Step program--the use of vitamins and minerals and hands-on assistance to aid people fearful of coming off drugs to take that vital first step in the journey towards full recovery.
They then went about convincing their congregation to raise the funds necessary to renovate the building adjacent to the church.

Why is this a "first"? Because it is the first faith-based community partner drug rehab initiative in Houston. Other local churches pitched in with volunteer work and fund-raising to make it happen. The Narconon program is working in collaboration with Rev. McLaughlin's AME Church to open the door to move families in the church's neighborhood and community to really do something about the personal suffering caused by alcohol and other drug abuse. This is part of the Narconon national campaign to back up and forward SAMHSA and the White House Faith-Based and Community Partner Initiative and its purpose to bring faith communities and rehab professionals together. One step at a time, Rev. McLaughlin is taking action to change conditions for the better. We salute him, the Elders of his congregation, and all those helping them.

"Our communities need Narconon. They need it very badly. And I say that as a judge and a member of the judiciary, not only for the city of Houston but for all judges across the United States because we have a lot to do and a great deal of responsibility. With the great authority that we have comes great responsibility. We cannot do the job alone...."
"I just want to endorse this project. This is fantastic! This is us; this is you, taking care of the least, the last, and the lost.... I've represented many people in the court system who've had problems, but they were treated in a criminal system; and this system recognizes that they must be treated in a mental health medical system and not the criminal system. And this is why this is important. We have to divert our youth. We have to divert those that get involved with drugs from the criminal system into programs like Narconon so that they can get help and they can be productive citizens...."

The Narconon® First Step program teaches individuals how to help someone through withdrawal by applying nutritional supplements and exercises that promote extroversion. These steps, in the right combination and sequence, aid the addict through what could normally be an extremely difficult process. Results are usually achieved in less time and more comfortably than going through the process 'cold turkey' and do not carry the added weight of side effects from prescription drugs.

Rev. James McLaughlin is a Pastor at the Wayman Chapel AME Church in Houston, TX has experienced how this powerful technology can help others.

After finding members of his community that approached him for help with substance abuse, Rev. McLaughlin, who is also an adjunct professor at a nearby college, learned how to deliver the Narconon® First Step program and has since become a Certified Pastoral Addictions Counselor and has taught many people how to help others withdraw from drugs.

Rev. McLaughlin has recently presented Narconon® First Step workshops to community leaders, ministers, elected officials, faith-based representatives and rehabilitation professionals in Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Baltimore, Brownsville and Houston. Two conferences were co-sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

The Narconon program uses the drug-free social education methodology of American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. The premier facility of the international network is Narconon Arrowhead, which is also the international training center where Rev. McLaughlin learned the basics of delivering the drug-free withdrawal program.

According to Rev. McLaughlin, "Drug addiction continues to be a festering sore in our civilization that is the root cause of many societal problems. The multibillion dollar commercial production and underground trafficking of drugs passes on staggering costs to citizens of this country to clean up the devastation. It is a no-win situation dealing only in the death and destruction of individuals as well as the very fabric that makes up the human race."

Scientologists find unlikely allies in other faiths

By MATT SEDENSKY
Associated Press Writer

In neighboring St. Petersburg, Imam Wilmore Sadiki's mosque has participated in a human rights campaign sponsored by Scientologists and makes use of one of Hubbard's texts. At Wayman Chapel in Houston, the Rev. James McLaughlin's drug treatment center is built on Scientology principles and refers addicts to Narconon, its rehabilitation program. And at Word Evangelism Ministry in Washington, the Rev. Catherine Bego has helped distribute thousands of booklets spreading Scientologists' messages against drugs and for moral living.
"We're getting out the word to anybody," Church of Scientology spokeswoman Pat Harney said in a phone interview, "and wherever it falls, the corn grows."

"Besides getting people off drugs for life, Arrowhead is also our international staff training center," says Clark Carr, President of Narconon International, who gave an overview of the Narconon network's expansion over the years. For instance, among the current international trainees are three Jordanian police officers who will soon return to open the first Narconon center in an Arabic-speaking country.

Reverend James McLaughlin of the Ward Community AME Church in Houston, and his wife Cleo, who works with the United Black Fund of Texas, shared their story of how they trained at Arrowhead. They are now helping people to come off drugs in their newly opened (August 2004) Narconon center in Houston Texas.
There is much to celebrate with Narconon Arrowhead's 15 years in Oklahoma and September being National Recovery month. But most particularly, Narconon of Oklahoma is proudest of its more than 2,100 graduates who have gone on to lead ethical and productive lives.

Narconon’s Forty-Third Anniversary Celebration Features Acknowledgements, Accolades and Inspiration to All Those Committed to Achieving a Drug-Free World

April 9, 2009 4/09/2009 03:21 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

Mayor Kevin Priddle was there from McAlester along with Jimmy Jones, staff of the Oklahoma Legislature and a graduate of Narconon, and other graduates who had returned to share their stories of success. The Chaplain (Auditor) of Narconon Arrowhead Rev. James McLaughlin was also present with his wife, Cleo, who serves as Narconon’s Director of Governmental Affairs.

After the students and graduates had their chance to speak, Ms. McLaughlin took over the podium to share with the crowd the numerous citations and acknowledgements Narconon Arrowhead had received from government officials in support of the work Narconon does to create better cities in which to live. She presented and read proclamations from The Honorable Dean Smith, Mayor of Eufaula, Oklahoma Senator Roger Ballenger, Senator Richard Lerblance and Representatives Terry Harrison and Brian Renegar. Two Texas elected officials had also sent acknowledgements: Jarvis Johnson, a City Council Member from Houston, and Sylvester Turner, a State Representative. Of particular interest was the certificate from Governor Brad Henry, proclaiming February 19, 2009 Narconon Arrowhead Day.

At the end of these presentations, Ms. Johnson introduced the evening’s guests and invited them to speak. Mr. Jimmy Jones told his story of facing jail time for addiction-related offenses, but finding Narconon as a solution. Because of this solution, he was able to return to his work in the Oklahoma Legislature, completely drug-free, and could help support Narconon in its work to save lives. He encouraged the students in the audience to give this recovery everything they had, because this was the beginning of a new and better life for each.

The evening was wrapped up by the Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead, Gary W. Smith. Mr. Smith told the little-known tale of the beginnings of Narconon inside the Arizona State Prison system, due to the persistence of a heroin-addicted inmate named William Benitez.....blah blah blah

Valley Grande, Alabama
March 5, 2006

To Whom it Concern:

It is with pleasure that I explore the opportunities to work with Rev James McLaughlin, my brother in Christ and the head of the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Ministry for the African Methodist Church (AME), the connectional where we both pastor churches named Wayman Chapel AME, just in different states.

Thus far I am very impressed with what I have been exposed to. Just to know this technology has a 40 year history excites me, because it says you have done the work to qualify you to tell the world that the wellness of your life saving technology can help a person live drug-free.

In my efforts to rid the planet of drugs, in my area especially, I applaud the Narconon network and their willingness to establish a Faith-Based component. This component will embrace the churches and allow us to share and spread the word that we can live drug free, as we minister to our communities that this is God's mercy and saving grace in giving one back their life.

May God continue to bless your work. I look forward to working with Narconon and Rev McLaughlin as we move closer to my becoming a trained minister in the First Step Program, who will also join the ranks of the Narconon family.

Congratulations on your 40th Anniversary, February 19, 2006.
In Christ the best is yet to come;

Some Christian pastors embrace Scientology
From Diana Miller and Gary Tuchman CNN

TAMPA, Florida (CNN) -- Some Christian congregations, particularly in lower income, urban areas, are turning to an unlikely source for help -- the Church of Scientology.

Scientologists do not worship God, much less Jesus Christ. The church has seen plenty of controversy and critics consider it a cult. So why are observant Christians embracing some of its teachings?

Two pastors who spoke recently with CNN explained that when it comes to religion, they still preach the core beliefs of Christianity. But when it comes to practicing what they preach in a modern world, borrowing from Scientology helps.

The Rev. Charles Kennedy, of the Glorious Church of God in Christ, a Pentecostal church in Tampa, Florida, and the Rev. James McLaughlin, of the Wayman Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas, are among the theological hybrids. Watch Rev. Kennedy preach »

They say they are not scared off by programs with ties to a church that critics say has aggressive recruiting, secretive ways and rigid theology. As men of God rooted in Christian values, they do not see Scientology as a threat to their faith, but rather as a tool to augment it.

Scientology was founded in the 1950s by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer. Followers are taught that they are immortal spiritual beings called thetans. Although the church says there is a supreme being, its practices do not include worshipping God.

"I'm looking for solutions, and the people that I help, they don't ask me who L. Ron Hubbard is," said McLaughlin, who works with addicts. "You know what they say? 'Thank God.' "

Critic Rick Ross, a court-certified Scientology expert, sees something more sinister at work. He warned that mainstream acceptance makes it easier for the Scientologists to achieve their ultimate goal -- new recruits.

"Their hope is that through these programs, people will become more interested in L. Ron Hubbard, what else Mr. Hubbard had to offer, and this will lead them eventually to Scientology," Ross said.

The church has long been in the headlines for practices critics say are little more than cult-like mind control. It is also known for its stable of devout celebrity followers.

And according to published reports, Scientology has been recently diversifying its outreach to include other religions and ethnic groups.

Kennedy, McLaughlin and a handful of other Christian church leaders -- no one can say how many -- are finding answers to their communities' needs in Scientology's social programs.

For Kennedy, it began two years ago when he attended a meeting at the Church of Scientology's spiritual headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. He was introduced to a book called "The Way to Happiness" -- Hubbard's 64-page, self-described "common sense guide to better living."

In the book, which lays out ways to maintain a temperate lifestyle, Kennedy found a message he believed could help lift his predominantly lower income African-American congregation. He said the book's 21 principles help them with their struggle in an urban environment where there is too much crime and addiction and too little opportunity.

Kennedy knew that before he could introduce any Scientology-related text to his congregation, he would have to prove that it did not contradict his Christian beliefs. And so, he found Scripture to match each of the 21 principles.

Now Kennedy uses "The Way to Happiness" as a how-to supplement to his sermons. He believes it is easier to understand and clearer to follow than ancient Scriptures taken from the Bible.

When asked whether Scientology's values contradict the religion of Jesus Christ, Kennedy replies, "Sometimes yes. Sometimes no." But he says his congregation can relate to "The Way to Happiness."
Kennedy admits other pastors have criticized him, but the disapproval is not enough to discourage him. He insists that he has witnessed the changes "The Way to Happiness" has inspired in people. He also maintains that the Scientologists, many of whom he calls friends, are successful at outreach and getting desired results.

At Kennedy's C. L. Kennedy Center, free tutoring based on Hubbard's "study tech" philosophies is provided to dozens of children and some adults. Kennedy's daughter, Jimirra, is one of the instructors. She said "study tech" and the Scientology orientation classes she attended helped her graduate from high school and become a poised woman.

Though Jimirra Kennedy insists she does not ascribe to the religious side of Scientology, she still considers herself, at least in part, Scientologist. "We say this all the time and I know my father says this, but I am like a Pentecostal Scientologist, that's what we are."

Critics like Ross are alarmed by such a blurring of the lines. They consider it a marketing win for Scientology.
In Houston, McLaughlin says he is not one to argue with success. Driven by a need to address the rampant drug problem in his community, McLaughlin spent years searching for a solution before he discovered "Narconon," Scientology's nonprofit drug rehab center, in 2001.

McLaughlin trained at Narconon and brought the techniques back to his community to launch "First Step Faith Step," a program that combines Hubbard's methods with the teachings of Christianity.
He claims a 70- to 80-percent rehabilitation success rate.

Kennedy and McLaughlin said they have never lost a member of their congregations to Scientology.

"I think that they truly believe that this may help their communities, but in my opinion, they're naïve," Ross said. Scientologists, he added, "have their own agenda."

The Church of Scientology would not grant CNN an interview, nor would its representatives answer questions about the Hubbard-based programs

OKLAHOMA OFFICE OF FAITH-BASED AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES (OFBCI)

Rev. Brenda Fletchall
A Research Paper
Presented to
In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements
For
Religion and Politics
For a higher education institution
July 15, 2007

Another of my experiences did not involve governmental funding but related to state certification in Oklahoma. I toured a state certified agency providing community service and interviewed the director. During the course of the tour I noticed a sign posted which listed some of the requirements/expectations as part of having the certification. One of the topics included was protection of religious freedom. During the interview when I asked about this item, the director laughed out loud and then proceeded to tell me how they got around it and what their religious requirements were for the recipients of their service. Apparently the director thought I was of the same mindset and had no reservations sharing details on this point. They required at least 3 specific religious engagements per week. One requirement was Sunday attendance at a church that was specified by the agency - regardless of if the recipients already were members of another local church.

Office of Faith-Based Initiatives in Oklahoma start-up history overview
The Cornerstone Assistance Network was launched November 7, 1996. The photo on the flier which announced its inauguration includes Scott and Ann Manley, Governor Frank Keating, and Congressman Steve Largent. The second page of the flier credits Cornerstone for the “birthing process… to a greater or lesser degree” of several other organizations including The Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) and The Christian Leadership Foundation of Oklahoma City. 1 The concept for the OFBCI began as a discussion in 1999 which then “grew out of a matrix of relationships” among Scott Manley, Brad Yarbrough, George Miller, Howard Hendricks, Karen Woods, and Jerry Regier.2 The flier notes that Yarbrough delivered a Planning Document for this office to Regier in 1999.
In a later interview, Yarbrough recalls that it was during the Clinton Administration timeframe of the “Welfare Reform Law” (includes Section 104 – the “Charitable Choice” provision), that he began attending some of the conferences being held by various federal agencies to court faith-based organizations.3 He conducted further research in order to develop an effective model for Oklahoma. In the May, 2000 Strategic Document provided to Regier, Yarbrough considers the still remaining “vast reservoir of untapped resources which can be utilized to help the poor and needy.”4 Texas is noted as being “the first state to vigorously pursue the opportunities afforded by Charitable Choice,” under the direction of then Governor Bush.

Snip

Price stated that 2-1-1 is a service of the OFBCI office but has since clarified that it is The Oklahoma 2-1-1 Advisory Collaborative which functions as the “Lead Entity” for 2-1-1 services across the state.53 Price serves on the board of The Oklahoma 2-1-1 Advisory Collaborative. “The Collaborative was granted the authority to determine who will be approved as 2-1-1 call centers by the Oklahoma Legislature and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.”54 Currently there are five call centers which cover 57 or more Oklahoma counties. Each center is run by its own collaborative efforts. Tulsa was the first call center, established three years ago. Each center is responsible to solicit their own funding and some are funded with United Way. Heartline is one of the call centers funded by United Way and serves Central Oklahoma. Initial startup funds for each call center are provided by through the DHS agency by state appropriated funds according to amounts set by the legislature.55 Director Howard Hendrick sets the funds for each on a per capita in their area basis.

Oklahoma’s Faithlinks Initiative and the Cornerstone Assistance Network
Oklahoma’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has the mission of “Helping Oklahoma’s poor and needy by promoting collaboration between State agencies and faith-based/community organizations to provide social services.” Oklahoma’s program is called Faithlinks Oklahoma. The Cornerstone Assistance Network is one of the State’s prominent intermediary organizations. Since its inception, Cornerstone’s mission has been to “enable the Church to take a more active role in liberating people from both physical and spiritual poverty.” Its purpose is to accomplish this mission by “connecting people in need with Christians who care.”
Cornerstone was awarded a $60,000 contract by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services in April 2001 to act as in an intermediary role with the 2,771 faith communities in the forty-seven counties in Western Oklahoma. The funding was not designated to cover all the contract’s costs. Cornerstone had to raise private funds (over $25,000) to pay for the required staff and other contract related expenses. The CAN office in Tulsa, which serves Eastern Oklahoma including the Tulsa area, was awarded a $40,000 similar type of contract.
As an intermediary, Cornerstone assists Oklahoma DHS by:
Cornerstone’s Role for DHS
•
Helping to recruit, train, and support congregations to provide more social services;
•
Being the contact point for agencies desiring to connect with numerous faith groups; and
•
Building trust between agencies and congregations by interpreting to each other the one different organizational culture of the other.
As an intermediary, Cornerstone assists congregations by:
Cornerstone’s Role for its Congregations
•
Identifying selected strategies, resources, best practices, and accountability features to address the needs of the homeless, poor, and those reliant on welfare;
•
Helping them to understand the culture, value, and policies of public and private agencies; and
•
Equipping them to contract, screen, and assist needy individuals and families.
The public funds for this contract are provided by DHS on a “reimbursable” basis. This means that Cornerstone must file expense reports and receives payment only for specific provisions called for in its contract. This simplifies the segregation and accounting of funds and insures that public funds are used only for public purposes- and prevents co-mingling of public and private funds. Cornerstone assists and reports to Oklahoma’s Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives for this contract.

Some great research goin' on here ITT! Kudos to those braving the scilon sites too.

I seem to recall an old Hubbard directive (HCB?) on how to go about infiltrating society, all this up there^^^ appears to be this policy put into action imho. Wish some of these dumb fucks would do some research themselves before attaching their names to Narconon projects.
Cult of Hubbard loves dupes who smile while they legitimise their fraudulant money-machinery, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

2001
Six months before President Bush opened a Faith Liaison office at the White House, Governor Keating created one at the State House in Oklahoma. President Bush announced what he was doing publicly. The Oklahoma office opened under a cloak of secrecy.
Most Oklahoman’s learned just weeks ago that for the past year the State of Oklahoma has been paying Brad Yarbrough a $60,000 salary to serve as a liaison for government funded religion in Oklahoma. Many still do not know it. Nor do many realize that Yarbrough’s office through the Department of Human Services (DHS) has already granted a $60,000 contract to Cornerstone Assistance Network in Oklahoma City and a $40,000 contract to Cornerstone Assistance Network of Tulsa. The Cornerstone Assistance Networks in Tulsa and OK City are Christian Social Service agencies that are now receiving taxpayer dollars to serve as “Intermediary Organizations” to enlist, train, assist and monitor religious organizations applying for government funding to provide social services.
Brad promises more effective social services, but says he’s not concerned about professional standards.

Wonder if this is the same Brad?

NYTimes1995 said:

Mr. Yarbrough said that there were no requests for any other brand of spiritual comfort at the First Christian Church, where the families had gathered. He said that one rabbi was on call but was never sought and that an American Indian spiritualist "complete with the feather and the medicine bag hanging from her belt" was allowed to stay, so long as she limited her ministry to one American Indian man.

He said that representatives of the Church of Scientology were ejected, and that donated literature not written from a Christian perspective was not distributed.

"We had people sending literature and books," Mr. Yarbrough said, "U.P.S. trucks showing up every two or three hours." Books that were not distributed, he said, included "books on how to handle grief, books on bereavement, books on looking within themselves for power and strength, but not looking to God."

Oklahoma City
Rev. Brad Yarbrough, pastor of Grace Community Fellowship in Oklahoma City, was quoted in the New York Times this week. He was placed in charge of screening volunteer ministers who came to attend to the victims and families involved in the recent bombing. Representatives of the Church of Scientology were ejected from the area.

Also, a free Dianetics Workshop was scheduled at the University of Central Oklahoma.

"The room was booked one week after the bombing and Scientology concealed its identity by telling the university it was a "crisis management" group."
