Scientology, The Clearwater Bar Association, and Judge Greer
Judge George W. Greer presides over Florida's Sixth Judicial Circuit Court. He is known internationally for the Terri Schindler Schiavo guardianship case. Pat Anderson, former attorney for the Schindlers, characterized Judge Greer's unprecedented rulings as "The Rule of Terri's Case."
The Clearwater Bar Association is delighted with Judge Greer's performance in this particular case. They presented the John U. Bird award to the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit judge on May 15, 2004. This prestigious award, which is the Clearwater bar's highest honor for a judge, was granted to Judge Greer for the way he has handled himself while overseeing the Terri Schiavo case!
Robert Dickinson III, the outgoing president of the Clearwater Bar Association, cited Judge Greer's handling of the Terri Schiavo case in terms of "passing the test":
"Rarely is a person's mettle and faith tested in such a strenuous and public way as this gentleman's has been over the last few years," Robert Dickinson III said. "Rarely do mortals pass the test with such flying colors."
(Quote source: Lawyers laud judge in Schiavo case) [bold emphasis added]
I find these words rather ominous when I reflect on "the test" Judge Greer has been passing—all these years. Judge Greer's consistent practice of upholding Scientology doctrines over and above Florida law is being lauded by the Clearwater Bar Association! The "test" Robert Dickenson III is alluding to is the "test case." The euthanasia test case.
Greer is "passing the test" with flying colors because he is permitting Michael Schiavo to abuse, exploit and neglect his disabled wife in defiance of the Florida statues. And the Clearwater Bar Association cheers.
Scientology attorney Wally Pope—who represented his "church" in the Lisa McPherson case—was the individual selected to bestow this high honor on Judge Greer! Wally cited high ideals, personal character, and judicial competence:
"Yet, in the teeth of all that, he has steadfastly demonstrated exactly what the John U. Bird award was created to honor: high ideals, personal character, judicial competence and service," lawyer Wally Pope said before bestowing the honor.
(Quote source: Lawyers laud judge in Schiavo case) [bold emphasis added]
The "judicial competence" that Judge Greer has exhibited in his handling of the Terri Schiavo case is clearly the kind that ignores evidence and even Florida statutes in order to uphold Scientology doctrine—which requires the deletion of "social contagions" (the disabled) from society. It is no coincidence that a Scientology attorney—who was a lead attorney in the Lisa McPherson case—personally bestowed this award to Judge Greer. Greer's decisions to consistently rule in favor of terminating a disabled person do reflect high ideals—in the sight of Scientology.
Lies to Make Terri Schiavo Fit the Scientology Mold
One of Scientology's major goals is to change society's views about death, dying, and those L. Ron Hubbard considered to be "past the half-way point": the disabled.
Scientologists believe (1) that a disabled person is in such a state due to his or her own failings, (2) the disabled person will deliberately move in the direction of death, and (3) disabled people (Individuals who score low on the emotional tone scale) will also bring death to those around them. (See L. Ron Hubbard's book, Self Analysis, chapter 4)
Scientology teaches that if a person is disabled it is his or her fault. Terri has been falsely represented as being disabled due to self-induced vomiting which supposedly caused a potassium imbalance that resulted in a cardiac arrest. Medical records have disproved these claims, but these "facts" were presented in the court record and are still being promulgated via the media today. The truth is that Terri suffered serious injuries, (including a head and neck injury and numerous broken bones). An exceptionally competent neurologist testified (that Michael Schiavo's attorneys predictably attempted to discredit) stated that Terri's injuries are consistent with strangulation:
Dr. William Hammesfahr, Nobel prize nominee and neurologist, testified that Terri's neck injuries are consistent with only one type of injury: that of strangulation.
(Quote source: State-Funded Agency to Probe Claim of Spousal Abuse in Terri Schiavo Case)
The only person in the apartment with Terri at the time of her collapse was her husband, Michael Schiavo.
Scientology teaches that a disabled person will move in the direction of death. Terri has been illegally denied therapy for over ten years for the purpose of causing her abilities and health to deteriorate. She has also been placed in hospice facilities—and denied any stimulation— rather than in a nursing home. This was done to create the illusion that Terri is moving in the direction of death. According to L. Ron Hubbard's doctrines, a disabled person wants to die. Michael Schiavo never misses an opportunity to state that death is "Terri's wish." This is not true. Terri wants to live so much that she exerts tremendous effort to demonstrate her abilities.
Scientology teaches that disabled persons (Individuals who score low on the tone scale) will also bring death to those around them. Michael is so worried that Terri will bring "death" to him (accusations of attempted murder?) that he refuses to allow her to have speech therapy—or any therapy. Of course Michael's power to keep Terri in a state of disability is contingent upon Judge Greer's continued collusion with the Scientology agenda, which is not in accordance with Florida laws.
The Clearwater Bar Association: Cozy with Scientology
Mike Faehner, who was president-elect of the Clearwater Bar Association in 2001, endorsed the Johnson Blakely Pope Bokor Ruppel & Burns PA. firm:
"In the legal community, they have a good reputation," said Mike Faehner, president-elect of the Clearwater Bar Association. "They do quite a bit of legal educational outreach. They're a solid law firm."
(Quote source: Clearwater firm breaks from standing tradition)
This firm brings in a lot of money by litigating for the "Church" of Scientology:
Their clients include parents involved in a baby swap, a woman who was not allowed to dress after she was arrested for skinny-dipping, the controversial Church of Scientology and developers who have changed the landscape of Clearwater.
(Quote source: Clearwater firm breaks from standing tradition) [bold emphasis added]
It is probable that Scientology attorneys are on the board and/or are officers of the Clearwater Bar Association! Mike Faehner said:
Many Johnson Blakely lawyers have been board members or officers in the association. The firm also sponsors bar activities, he said.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Clearwater Bar Association is on cozy terms with the "Church" of Scientology. They choose to have their monthly meetings at the Fort Harrison Hotel—Scientology headquarters. (See: Res Ipsa Loquitur) The Clearwater bar gladly endorses firms that litigate for Scientology. They even chose a Scientology attorney to present an award to Judge Greer for "passing the test" in the way he handled the Terri Schiavo case.
Scientology For Euthanasia; Florida Law Against it
Wally Pope represented the "Church" of Scientology in the wrongful death suit filed by the Estate of Lisa McPherson. He fought to enable Scientology to completely get away with dehydrating Lisa McPherson to death. They did not succeed. They settled with the Lisa McPherson Trust!
Judge Greer's rulings have enabled Michael Schiavo (working on behalf of the Scientology agenda) to almost get away with dehydrating Terri Schiavo to death. The only reason this did not happen is because many Americans—once they saw the videos of Terri that Mr. Schindler bravely released to the media—made it known they would not stand for such evil in our society.
It is time to take a stand against this barbarism once again. Disabled citizens of the United States of America (including Terri Schindler Schiavo of Clearwater, Florida) must not be denied therapy and even life itself due to L. Ron Hubbard's disgust over the fact that a decent society takes care of its own:
Society, the bulk of which is bent upon survival, fails or refuses to recognize death or the urge of organisms toward it. Society passes laws against murder and suicide. Society provides hospitals. Society carries such people [the disabled] on its back. And society will not hear of euthanasia or "mercy killing." (Self Analysis by L. Ron Hubbard; pg. 28)
May the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified as his people "hear his voice" concerning this matter and follow him.

I wasn't familiar with your screen name, so I checked out your home page. After reading your reply to this thread, I think I know who your sister is.
As a former member, I'd be happy to answer any questions, either in public or via FReepmail
Florida is still too dangerous to even drive through, much less visit for vacation or plan to live there.
Thanks, I appreciate it. Are there any websites that outline their beliefs? I recall that Tom Cruise is involved with them. There was some criticism about Scientology, and that it led to his divorce to Nicole Kidman. Before I respond to the main points of the posted article, I should know what I'm talking about ;)
LOL
Very good. Much better than what I had it mind.
Thank you for saying this. I'm just tired of trying to bring a little bit of common sense to these boards. They are positively hateful. And, I may add, without any compassion towards anyone but the woman in the PVS condition. And I disagree with their idea of "compassion" on that one too.

From thread 'Terri Schiavo March Dailies 2005, posted today, a newspaper quote regarding the McPherson DEATH BY STARVATION AND DEHYDRATION:
"McPherson died after 17 days in the care of Scientologists. Paramedics had taken her to a hospital after a minor traffic accident, but she left with Scientology officials, who wanted her to avoid psychiatric treatment, which violates church teachings. Doctors had said the woman was battling a mental breakdown."
[ my comment ] - Nice cult....deny psychiatric or counseling help to this member, remove her from society, get her in a captive situation, not unlike a hospice, and starve to death. Precious.
"Scientology, founded in 1954 by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard........"
"Its adherents don't worship a deity or pray. They believe that people are immortal spirits and that a progression of self-improvement techniques and counseling sessions, known as "auditing," can help them live more productive, satisfying lives. The goal is to become "clear" - free of mental blocks caused by painful subconscious memories. "
[ my comments ]-HUH????????But I thought this group did not BELIEVE in counseling? I am confused.
Good article, [FReeper ] Chocolate...gives a better understanding of how Scientology may have impacted this life and death issue....I suppose the cabal of lawyers who have found great wealth in defending & working for this group (certainly it is not a church....as it says above they do not believe in God, do not WORSHIP or PRAY.....have a hard time holding onto their souls.
I am sorry this group is so rampant, with its world headquarters so close to Terri.
May GOD's ARMOR DEFLECT ANY CREEPING of this CULT into her domain.
And Hildy and Flaglady-if you are interested in learning about the world htq of SCIENTOLOGY that only a few miles from where Terri is imprisoned in a HOSPICE (a place where people go who are terminally ill, with SIX months or less to LIVE, and where TERRI has suffered for FOUR LONG YEARS....she is not DYING....yet...that is... GO TO POST # 5433 on the Terri Schiavo March Dailies 20005 thread and if you are not HORRIFIED by the time you finish looking at those photos and following the two links therein...then I will not bother you with posts again.
Before you end up killing yourselves with snickering and sarcastic commetary.....go to the thread mentioned above and REVIEW the impact of this Scientology group in CLEARWATER ( there is a post by Chocolate Rose, posted this morning, that reviews this group ...look at the numbers...and then...LOOK AGAIN , carefully at the PICTURES of LISA McPHERSON, a concious person, LIKE TERRI, who WAS SUCCESSFULLY STARVED TO DEATH....take a LOOK at what this type of killing DOES TO A PERSON.. THESE ARE AUTOPSY PICTURES...BE WARNED .and READ the link by the photos of McPherson that DESCRIBE by a doctor exactly what the human body suffers being starved and dehydrated at the same time...
Before you do more to demonstrate how little you know about this case...about Terri.... someone who suffered massive bone injury ...as shown on a bone scan that you yourself CAN READ AND THINK ABOUT...a bone scan taken ONE YEAR AFTER TERRI's SO CALLED ACCIDENT...that was NEVER BEFORE THE COURTS....
Before you decide Terri's husband is NOT LYING and so deeply loves terri that he wants to honor her wish to die (ooops...I forget...he remembered THREE YEARS AFTER HER ACCIDENT...three MONTHS after he got the big money....and JUST HAD TO STOP ALL EFFORTS TO REHABILITATE HER AND LOVE HER AND TAKE HER ON OUTINGS...BRUSH HER TEETH....LET FRIENDS VISIT HER....GOT A GIRL FRIEND...MADE SOME BABIES....AND HAS WORKED TO KILL HER EVER SINCE!) TRY DEMANDING THE COURTS INVESTIGATE ABUSE.
Or to you two, since Terri is brain damaged, is the possibility, the HIGH, possibility that she was BEATEN TO A PULP on the night of her collapse...er....just so much garbage?

Sorry for double post....oops! Oh well.....DUH!
let's see, I heard Greta Van Susteren is one, Kistie alley, Travolta and his wife, anyone else we should be aware of?
I think, after you have given them at least 100,000 dollars, you get a ride on the yacht and it's revealed to you that thy worship Kali, the Indian god of destruction. This is what I've heard anyway
I am sick.
Hubbard states that it is a priority to infiltrate the government, become the community leaders, become the judiciary....and at that time, the highest potential is reached.
I will never go to CLearwater again.
I KNOW these to be Church controlled:
CCHR - Cittizens Commission on Human Rights www.psychassault.org and others
CREO - Commity to Reinvolve Ex Offenders
Apple Schools
Narconon
FASE - Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education, makes videos for PBS and public schools
I don't KNOW if these are Church supported, but they have the Church 'look and feel':
A.S.P.I.R.E - The Alliance to STOP Psychiatry's Influence on Religion Education.
Psych Drug Truth - http://www.prozactruth.com/ - The word 'Psych' and the tag line "Slavery Of Mankind By Psychiatry Is NOT An Option." are dead give aways.
Probably a whole bunch more, but I don't have the time to dig them up right now...
Narconon definitely is. they are also allowed in schools in some states to preach, go figure
