Jonathan Burke, Co-Executive Director of the Independent Scientology Advanced Organization of the Great Plains, loses court judgment to Independent Scientology parishioners for $46,080.
Tony Ortega has a story today about Jonathan Burke, the Co-Executive Director of the Independent Scientology Advanced Organization of the Great Plains, "losing a rather sizable court judgment to another indie,"
Trouble in the Scientology FreeZone! Even ‘Indies’ are suing each other

Then, recently, we saw a couple of references online to Burke losing a rather sizable court judgment to another indie, and we couldn’t help being curious about it. The references online were pretty cryptic, but we knew that Burke and the AO-GP were in Kansas City, so we went to the Jackson County, Missouri court website and very quickly hit paydirt: On September 23, Burke signed a consent judgment, agreeing to pay a couple $46,080 plus court costs.

The Bunker: We got a copy of the complaint, but it doesn’t really say anything except that you loaned Burke $40,000 at 15 percent interest and he wasn’t paying. But can you tell us why you were loaning him money?

The Independent Scientology Advanced Organization of the Great Plains recently published an essay defending online auditing and training.
We may now know why.

Online Auditing and Training - Is it Squirrelling?

AOGP Chatroom
I recently had someone politely tell me that AOGP's posts were not allowed in one of his groups because he felt that online auditing was deviating from LRH's original unaltered tech. I suppose this includes our online training, therefore, (Independent) Scientology cannot be practiced online according to him. There have been others who have stated the same thing and I think it needs addressing.
Firstly, I agree that auditing is better done in person, I really do, it's more personal, and perhaps more accurate given internet speeds etc. However, how many responsible independents are left who are promoting Scientology? We should all be offering resources, books, lectures, training and auditing all over the available free marketing resources and yet there are many who instead, bicker on these resources about what is right and what is wrong. There are many "cool kids" who deny certain auditors to be featured in their groups and yet they themselves fail to keep it working.
If there was an Independent org in every city, let alone in every country, we would not be doing what we do because there wouldn't be a need, of course. However, withholding resources from people around the world is not the greatest good for the greatest number. That would be suppression, in my honest opinion.

From our viewpoint, we are applying a condition of Danger to the global scene as an organization. The first line of the Danger condition is to "Bypass habits and normal routines." On the exterior, this is what our actions of online courserooms, online auditing, and even online TR's look like, from a daily viewpoint of "What would LRH do?"
Technology is our ally, so we use it in our "bright ideas" and embrace them fully. We are always open to questions and ways to improve, regardless. The world is in a tricky position currently and the SPs are having a field day taking rights away when no one is looking. At the same time, apathy is at an all time high from our observations as an organization and we are doing our very best to keep Ron's tech accessable to those who reach for it and want to be more at cause in life.
Power is the ability to hold a position in space and making things go right, per LRH. We hold the line at making the tech accessible and as standard as possible given the cut reach to assemble in person as physical groups, currently.
Lastly, it is our utmost intent to preserve the works of L. Ron Hubbard which is why we use only technical materials from the 1950's - 1982, free from alteration of his original intent. So to answer the question of "Is online (Independent) Scientology Squirrelling?" - We believe it is unequivocally not, in these times.
