The Religious Technology Center (RTC) is a Californian non-profit corporation. RTC was founded in 1982 by the Church of Scientology in order to control and oversee the use of all of the trademarks, symbols and texts of Scientology and Dianetics, including the copyrighted works of Scientology founder and science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Although RTC controls their use, those works are owned by another corporation, the Church of Spiritual Technology which is doing business as L. Ron Hubbard Library, registered in Los Angeles County, California.

While exercising authority over the use of all Scientology materials, RTC claims that it does not directly manage the Church of Scientology; that role is assigned to a separate corporation, the Church of Scientology International (CSI).

According to the RTC website, "RTC stands apart as an external body which protects the Scientology religion and acts as the final arbiter of orthodoxy" and its stated purpose is "to protect the public from misapplication of the technology and to see that the religious technologies of Dianetics and Scientology remain in proper hands and are properly ministered."

Since 1986, David Miscavige has served as the organization's Chairman of the Board.

In a 1993 memorandum by the Church of Scientology International, the following information was provided to the Internal Revenue Service with regards to RTC's role and functions, its personnel and its income:

"[...] RTC [...] owns the Scientology religious marks and advanced technology. It licenses the marks to CSI for sublicense to subordinate churches and directly licenses the advanced technology to appropriate churches. Through this structure RTC assures that practice of the Scientology religion within the ecclesiastical hierarchy under CSI's authority as Mother Church remains strictly orthodox, in accordance with the Scientology Scriptures. This church has a staff of approximately 50 individuals and an annual budget of approximately $ 6.6 million, based on its annual disbursements for the most recent year for which financial statements are available. [...]"

[found this on another Youtube users account thought 'd help spread it i hope you do the same.] Hay guiz I found this video here rapidshare.com I don't know what it means but I think it's free??? you better download a copy. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! k thx bai == Anonymous opposes the practices of the Church of Scientology as laid out by the Religious Technology Center. Anonymous believes as the human is born free, free humans must remain. This core moral is why you have attracted such interest in Anonymous. As Anonymous is the embodiment everyman, the actions of the Church of Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard have proven the church to be the embodiment of all that is opposed to everyman. While as Anonymous we have a unified message, each member of Anonymous has his or her own personal issue with the church. There are those who dislike theocratic regimes throughout history, up to the modern day, and are none too pleased with L. Ron Hubbard's view of a "clear" society. There are those who dislike illegally detaining people against their will and starving them for days. This raises eyebrows. Many people like privacy, especially when exercising their legally-protected right to protest. The Scientology tradition of following them home and telling lies to their neighbours and co-workers in an attempt to discredit is not looked upon glowingly. And people such as Anonymous tend to universally agree on the issue of murder being bad. This, Scientology, is why you are a target <b>...</b>

To join the Campus Conversation, please visit: bit.ly For more on the Millennial Values Survey, visit: bit.ly While the Millennial Values Survey found college-age Millennials more likely than the general population to be religiously unaffiliated and less likely to hold traditional or orthodox religious beliefs, many of the Millennial Values fellows noted the continued importance of religion in America today. In this video blog, fellows Colin Steele and Emily Atkinson discuss ways that religious and non-religious Millennials may be able to find common ground by recognizing their shared motivation to pursue a meaningful life, regardless of where they find that meaning.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: "A 'suitable guise' investigation is one where the investigator assumes a false or misleading identity in order to gain information otherwise unavailable to him." (in other words, adopting a false personae that is agreeable to target audience and resonates with them. "______ must be 'one of us.'") home.snafu.de "Basically a 'suitable guise" is when a Scientologist adopts a fake name or identity which they present to the real world for various lengths of time and then when they're done with them, they discard the 'suitable guise.' The organization's public relations salesmen are 'hatted' in the parlance of the organization to 'outflow false data effectively' (in non-cult-speak they 'lie') often using these 'suitable guises.'" www.gerryarmstrong.org Fair use: commentary & criticism.
