It is like David Love's case all over again! From first complaint: Scientology language found in hand written Knowledge Reports (KR) Ethics Officer KR D-GA-1202 come to Course D-GA-1205 &1198 made comm D-GA-1191 KR D-GA-1200 &1201 Ethics Officer (KR) D-GA-1203 From Amended complaint: Page 8 #40 As a result, NNG conducted an internal investigation, called a Board of Inquiry Amended complaint list these issues: Page 3 10. States and around the world. NNI is a subsidiary of the Association of Better Living and Education ("ABLE"), an umbrella group that oversees the drug rehabilitation, education, and criminal justice activities of the Church of Scientology. 11. Both NNG and NNI (collectively Narconon) rely exclusively on the written "technology" (writings) of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology, to address the drug and alcohol rehabilitation needs of students enrolled in Narconon programs, even though Hubbard had no training or education in drug and alcohol rehabilitation Page 4 12. Subsidiary programs like NNG are forbidden from deviating from the precise texts of the Hubbard technology in order to avoid improper and unsanctioned "verbal tech." In other words, L. Ron Hubbard forbade intelligent debate about the Scientology doctrine and required all studying the doctrine to do so directly from his writings. Any discussion outside his writings is considered unsanctioned "verbal tech." 16. Narconon students receive no counseling or education in drug and alcohol rehabilitation per se and the therapeutic discussion of drugs and their effects among students and staff is actually discouraged. Instead, Narconon's proponents believe that strict adherence to the "technology" will address the rehabilitation needs of its students. NNI routinely audited NNG to insure that this "technology" was being zealously followed. Page 6 23. Since 2002, NNG has been authorized by DHR only as an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility. It has never been authorized to operate any form of residential facility. 30. NNG wanted to be able to charge higher rates for drug and alcohol addicts who needed the higher level of care offered by an inpatient facility even though NNG was only allowed to operate a facility for outpatients. 31. To avoid detection by licensing authorities, Rieser induced other Scientologists to incorporate various housing facilities, rent locations and house NNG students. These facilities were under the direct operational control of NNG and in violation of DHR regulations. Page 7 34. Rieser and Don Delgado, a senior member of the NNG staff and co-owner of Delgado Development, both attended SeaOrg, a Scientology program for the most zealous of Scientologists, which requires participants to evidence their loyalty by signing "a Billion Year Contract." Page 8&9 41. NNG determined that housing was fraught with "service issues." There had been physical assaults requiring police intervention, students were using drugs and alcohol in the housing, monitors in charge of supervising the students were insufficient in number and often failed entirely to show up for work, students were permitted to leave the facility, and housing conditions were unsanitary. Page 11 54. The decision to send Patrick to the facility, as well as the Drug Court's approval of the program, was based on the express and false representations made by agents of NNG. Both the Desmonds and the Brevard County Drug Court personnel have testified that they would not have approved Patrick's participation in the Narconon program had they known these statements were untrue. Page12 61. On the evening of June 10, 2008, despite being in a Court ordered drug and alcohol treatment program, Patrick was allowed to drink beer and vodka with NNG's employees and staff members in a staff member's apartment at One Sovereign Place. Page 13 70. Although the sauna is an integral component of Narconon program, NNG did not have a license for an ambulatory detoxification facility and fraudulently concealed The Sauna Program from DHR in its 2003 license renewal for an outpatient treatment facility. DHR conducted an unannounced re-licensure survey, discovered the concealed sauna program, and cited NNG for failing to identify what treatment and services were provided in the form of vitamin and sauna therapy. Page 14 71. While NNG's main goal was to ensure strict compliance with the "technology" of L. Ron Hubbard, NNG purposefully and fraudulently misrepresented it was creating individualized treatment plans, was carefully and attentively updating patient files with progress notes, and was creating discharge and aftercare plans for the patient as required by the DHR Rules for outpatient and ambulatory treatment programs.

Ref Objections: B. Defendant Narconon International may call Reverend Jerry James McLaughlin to testify on its behalf at trial. Defendant Narconon International anticipates that Rev. McLaughlin w i l l testify that the course materials used by Narconon of Georgia embody principles and techniques found in writings by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology. However, those principles and techniques do not rely upon or require a belief in Scientology and are effective in educating and rehabilitating people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol, regardless of their religious beliefs or spiritual background.

DEFENDANT NARCONON OF GEORGIA, INC.'S FIRST INTERROGATORIES TO PLAINTIFFS http://alley.ethercat.com/storage/1...OfGeorgiasFirstInterrogatoriesToPlaintiff.pdf
The COS tentacles are far reaching. Article from 2007 "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." http://www.religionnewsblog.com/18979/spiritual-adultery
2006 article "Other honorees are Dr. Johnny Ray Youngblood, leader of the 10,000-member St. Paul Community Baptist Church in Brooklyn, and Houston-based Rev. James McLaughlin, senior pastor of the Wayman Chapel African Methodist Episcopal church, and his wife Cleo Johnson-McLaughlin. The McLaughlins founded the Gift of Life Drug Free program in Houston. It is a Narconon facility, meaning it utilizes Hubbard's controversial detoxification program which purports to remove harmful toxins through vigorous exercise followed by several hours in a sauna, then a regimen of vitamins, minerals and oils. Johnson, 43, who has promoted Scientology's literacy efforts for 14 years and was honored by Ebony Awakening in 2003, said he recently started a Narconon program as part of his California ministry, based at the True Faith Christian Center in Compton. Like Hubbard education programs, he found it to be "extremely effective." http://www.sptimes.com/2006/02/18/Worldandnation/Scientology_awards_re.shtml McLaughlin also attended the grand opening of the Dallas Org too.
Good Find! McLaughlin said he was searching for a drug program that had more staying power than the one his African Methodist Episcopal Church was running. He heard about the Scientologists’ efforts and established a new outpatient center after training from Narconon. He says he’s seen nothing but good come of itEXCEPT THE DEATHS AND OTHER ABUSES) a higher success rate,(PROVEN A LIE)O saved lives (EXCEPT THE DEAD ONES)and his own strengthened faith. (LRH SAID CHRIST WAS MADE UP) “I went in a Christian, I came out a Christian(DUMB ASS),” he said.

The Oklahoman Newspaper might like to be informed: Church’s history key to future BY CARLA HINTON | Published: April 10, 2010 ScientologistRev. James McLaughlin on right (He is no longer with this church) A northeast Oklahoma City church is celebrating its 121st anniversary with a week of activities designed to commemorate its historic past and launch bold plans for the future. Among the activities planned by Avery Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Churchis a congregational walk from the church’s former site at NW 1 and Stiles to its present location at 1425 N Kelham Ave. The Rev. James McLaughlin, senior pastor, said the April 17 walk of about three miles is symbolic of the faith church leaders showed when they made the move from the Deep Deuce in 1959. He said he was working on his doctorate degree during a sabbatical from his Houston church when his wife, Cleo, was hired as senior vice president of Narconon Arrowhead in Oklahoma http://newsok.com/churchs-history-key-to-future/article/3452639 Carla Hinton Religion Editor (405) 475-3480 chinton@opubco.com

I'm on board in MO...I also want to put an end to the Narconon Centers. I can be a shit disturber if need me but I have little time. Let me know what I can do...I am in.
I am very interested in this! I think all first responders (fire depts, ambulance services, etc) should have info from step 1 to assist when they do need to respond. May be life saving!
When you have time, check out this thread - https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/narconon-arrowhead-takes-in-stranded.101885/
I just got the word from the FOX 25 Oklahoma City Primetime Investigative Reporter that they are airing part 1 tonight during the 9pm CST and the second part will air same time tomorrow. I have had to stay quite about this one, but the Reporter ask for help on getting the word out. Part 1 sounds like it will consist of the recent deaths at NN AH with interviews from the families and myself. Part 2 will be, well lets just say, focused on ODMHSAS and ODMH. Here are the links to FOX 25 OKC: Home Page http://www.okcfox.com/ Primetime News at 9 Top Stories http://www.okcfox.com/newsroom/top_stories/index.shtml
Apologies for disturbing the slumber of this fine thread, but I've been wondering if calls for online enturbulation can be placed here? There is this new "rehab" site. Some of it appears to promote narconon. It needs an email address in order to post comments but I think that you may find it to be worth the trouble. http://rehabwatcher.com/?feed=rss2 The narconon promoters will be seen as active on the comment thread. I think a few of them need some more bitch slaps upside the cognitive dissonance. A four to five minute read of the thread will reveal what is going on. Thanks for reading.
An online comment raid by a few literate anons onto the thread should be sufficient. I'm working on trying to find out if there are direct connections between the site and narconon.
