From WWP: Co$ confirms disconnection for staff members

Co$ has unwittingly confirmed that a disconnection policy exists for staff members. The legal response to a small claims filing (see thread here) contains a portion of the staff members' contract. This contract has the following clause:

So we now have a legal record that a staff disconnection policy was in force as of Oct 25, 2009. Any suggestions for good pooning targets with this info?



Here's a little something to refresh your memory.



YouTube- Tommy Davis on disconnection policy (excerpt)

Section 10 certainly sounds like it dictates who staff members should not communicate with. Look for more mistakes like this as the big lawyers are kept busy with the flood of lolsuits and the org peons have to handle the little claims.

10. ASSOCIATION WITH INDIVIDUALS NOT IN GOOD STANDING. During my service as a staff member, I agree not to knowingly associate, in any way, with former parishioners of the Church or any other Scientology organization who are either no longer in good standing, or have been expelled or have been declared.

There is also an HCO PL issued in 1983 that is called something like Disconnection Policy Re-instated, that goes into it at length and says that HCO may order a person to disconnect from family, with justice consequences if they don't.

What does the UN and each of it's member states have to say about this?

From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Article 12.

* No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Tommy Davis :liar:lied in the video and lied on niteline and pretty much PR lies all the time. There has always been a disconnection policy but we here all know this.

Anybody care to bet against the Church not applying this? I'll give you really good odds. :bait:

This is awesome, but we need it in a form appropriate for the media.

Kha Khan, I've looked at your links, but can't find it. Anyone have the full doc, which includes the clause in the staff contract which is quoted in the op?

See page 4, paragraph 10 of the Defendant's Answer for the disconnection provision.

Also note that page 4, paragraph 6 makes all LRH policies (all of the HCOPLs, HCOBs, etc.) a part of the contract. As a result, the defendant attached to the Answer a copy of the policy "Purchasing Liability of Staff Members." You can argue that all LRH policies are part of the agreement, including other policies regarding disconnection.
