How can I know that the Ron’s Org is not another camouflaged organization of the Church of Scientology?
The big difference between the groups and individuals in the Ron’s Org and the Church of Scientology, both regarding structure and content, is not easy to spot for outsiders or newcomers. They only can gather experience of their own in the Ron’s Org and compare it to what bad things they have heard about the Church of Scientology in the media – and they will indeed find out that it is somewhat different, although the name Scientology is the same.
Maybe it makes you feel more confident, for example, if you learn that the office for safeguarding the constitution (Verfassungsschutz) of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg has stated years ago that the Ron’s Org is not a part of the Church of Scientology and that there is no need to observe them as the Ron’s Org has no anti-constitutional goals.
Indeed, there is some cooperation between members of the Ron’s Org and state authorities who observe the Church of Scientology and investigate their activities. Even in big magazines like the German “FOCUS“ or the Swiss “Facts,“ it has been reported that the Ron’s Org is something which is separate from the Church of Scientology and even is attacked by it.
Many lawsuits are proof that the Church of Scientology tries to inhibit and stop every activity where individuals seek to engage themselves with the philosophy of Scientology in freedom and out of the control of the Church of Scientology.
