In October 2008 I have lost my brother in the Sea Organization of the Church of Scientology. Since then I was looking for what happened to him exactly and was reflecting our family history in and in contact with Scientology very meticulous. In this thread I will reveal the results of this search.
What is wrong in the Church of Scientology and why is it dangerous?
Part 1:
Scientology destroys families!
Our family was destroyed by Scientology as follows:
My brother Uwe Stuckenbrock already signed a Sea Org contract at the tender age of 16. During the 29 years up to his death he was only able to visit his family once, although in his telephone calls he
assured us he always wanted to visit us. I can remember two telephone calls in the nineties with Uwe where he clearly said that he could not travel because the Sea Org feared he would leave. Previously, we had even arranaged a period of time for his next visit, because Uwe wanted to visit his nieces. In the end, this visit never took place because he was not allowed to travel.
My brother Uwe Stuckenbrock died in October, 2008 at the age of 45 of his practically untreated multiple sclerosis, but more on that later in "Scientology offers medical services, without any qualification for it"
The contact with my brother Uwe Stuckenbrock was always hampered and controlled. Especially in the period 1997 to 2008 (i.e. the last eleven years of his life), it was extremely difficult to reach him by phone because he was by this time permanently in a so-called RPF of the Sea Org. In such a rehabilitation program no free communication is permitted. Even his mail got opened. And if we had to reach him by phone - which took at least three to four overseas phone calls, we always had the feeling that he could not speak freely.
When I in the late eighties once visited Uwe in Los Angeles, he had promised to organize accommodation and come and pick us up at the airport. My then-girlfriend and I had assumed we could stay overnight with Uwe - it sounded like it at the time after the telephone call. We waited 3 hours at the airport and nobody came to fetch us. Uwe could not to be reached by phone, so we had to search for a hotel ourselves. Then arrived at the hotel I tried again to reach Uwe and finally had success. He said he had sent someone to fetch us. I asked him whether we could meet tomorrow with him – he said that it was not possible to visit his accommodation and he offered us the next day to eat lunch together and afterwards to visit an amusement park. My girlfriend had no desire to be with these impolite, unreliable people. But, I enjoyed this one day with my big brother and that was a good thing for that was the last time that I saw Uwe alive, because afterwards no more visits with his family were permitted. The following day he had no time for me. I describe this here in some detail because it makes it quite clear how absolutely incredibly outrageous people in the Sea Org (which is called the most ethical place on the planet?) are handled. A brother comes once in 30 years for visit and it it is not even allowed by the Sea Org to fetch and personally grace him more than a half day with his brother The fanaticism, that leads to such stories is just sick!
We were informed not until five years (in 2002) after the diagnosis multiple sclerosis (which he got 1997) about the fact that my brother suffered this very serious illness. All our attempts to help (2002-2003) him with the usual medical approach were blocked by the Church of Scientology in Los Angeles. We were always told that the cause was probably found now (Amalgam fillings in his teeth was poisoning him) and that he was already better. Then it was said that a new alternative water therapy had begun, and that Uwe already started to make progress. The fact that altogether he got worse and worse was always hidden from us!
It was hidden from us that despite his severe illness he spent stressful long periods from 1997 to 2007 in an RPF camp full of up to 40 other RPF participants in a mass dorm. From 1997 to 2001 in Happily Valley and from 2001 to 2007 in the PAC RPF in Los Angeles.
To be continued soon.
