► The fraud and scam of OT 8, a level one reaches only after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the “church”
Prince, Jesse. The Expert Witness: My Life at the Top of Scientology . Prince Publishing. Kindle Edition.
The release of the new OT 8 was scheduled to happen on the Scientology cruise ship, the Freewinds. I declined the invitation to go to the Freewinds with David Miscavige and Ray Mithoff. David was being coy with me in that he wouldn’t let me see the information that Ray had compiled and called new OT 8. Since I was still on OT 7, I didn’t quite qualify. Of course, the hypocrisy is David was even less prepared than me because he was at a much lower level. That didn’t seem to matter. David said it would be a relatively small event in that there were not very many people within Scientology who qualified for the service. He said we would put it out there, and Scientology organizations could begin to collect money for the service. Dave and Ray took off for the Freewinds Ship to release New OT 8. After a few days they returned. Dave seemed pretty upset when he got back, and I could tell things did not go as planned. Within a few days, I caught up with Ray Mithoff and asked him about the OT 8 release. Ray said the event was a complete disaster, and the new OT 8 materials were not well received.

Ray Mithoff chose not to act like an idiot when I asked to see what was so objectionable about these new super-secret materials they had released to qualified public on the Freewinds cruise ship. I discovered that the version of OT 8 they had released had a special super-secret post-mortem message from L Ron concerning certain prophecies from the Book of Revelations in the Christian Bible.
The document that was compiled from notes and research documentation is, in fact, the only document I have ever seen within Scientology that accurately reflects L Ron’s state of mind and his intention for Scientology. Without further ado I will read and translate the message from that document now.
The document identifies itself as a student briefing. L Ron begins by informing the reader as follows; by the time you read this I will no longer be occupying the body or have the identity you have known as L Ron Hubbard.
Next, L Ron gets down to business and tells them that the following story has been withheld for reasons which will soon be obvious, but he had to wait until more people were ensnared in the Scientology OT levels.
He goes on to disclose yet again that his identity, L Ron Hubbard was, in fact, the reincarnated Buddha whose actual name is Metteya. However, L Ron must’ve had some of the Indian god Shiva in him as well to achieve that multi-character effect. While he claimed to be Metteya, he also claims he was busy doing the Antichrist role as explained in the Christian Bible, book of Revelations.
L Ron declares that he assumed these multiple identities in order to fulfill a prophesy. As L Ron documented the wonders and glory of himself, he took a moment to gossip about Jesus Christ of all people. There’s no way to make this up so I’ll just paraphrase what L Ron had to say.
No doubt you are familiar with the Revelations section of the Bible, L. Ron continued, where various events are predicted, including a brief period of time in which the arch-enemy of Christ, referred to as the Antichrist, will reign, and his opinions will have sway. This antichrist represents the forces of Lucifer, the light bearer or light bringer. Lucifer being a mythical representation of the forces of enlightenment and the Galactic Confederacy. My mission could be said to fulfill the biblical promise represented by this brief Antichrist time.
L Ron goes on to tell us some personal details about Jesus Christ himself. L Ron said Jesus was not the saintly figure he has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Space Opera public relations.
I remember sitting in Ray’s office reading over this document and wondering why he had allowed this to see the light of day. When this information was given to Scientologists that had been carefully prepared to receive the information, things did not go as expected. I can only go by what Ray told me in that one couple after having read the blasphemy of Jesus demanded a refund of their monies, and they left the Freewinds looking for an exorcist.
Ray reported that OT 8 was not very well received by the public at all, and it would need a total rework. This is what L Ron left us to work with, and this is how it was being received.
[...]
I remember thinking about the disaster that was OT 8 – incomprehensible nonsense. If OT 8 was any example of the unreleased secret levels L Ron had left behind for us to sell to Scientology staff and public then I needed to start running for my life, but I couldn’t make myself move.
