E-meter 'security checks' - How to pass them

Introduction

Instead of Hubtoad's "WE COME BACK" I have suggested in the past that the real motto of a sea org member should be

WE COME BACK AND GET OUR FRIENDS & FAMILY OUT OF SCIENTOLOGY

I thought this wording would be far better because the the hardest thing to do is to get information over the fences and walls, both physical, legal, linguistic and imaginary to the current "True Believer" Note 1 of Scientology.

However going back for friends, demands staying 'in good standing' with the Scientology dissent police... and to do this, the most common question I get is "How do I pass the E-metered checks".

And yes this question does hit home due to Suzette Hubbard's involuntary revelation that she and I were about to elope the next day, after getting blood tests and a marriage license. She 'gave it up' on the thrid question given before the start of every Scientology session. The 'Withold' questions.. Are you witholding anything? Is there anything you have done that someone almost found out about?

Those whom scientology considers to be "in good standing" can only stay that way, if they develop the knowlege and skill necessary to defeat Scientology's E-meter.

Having been involved first hand in the fabrication of Hubbard's peculiar meter movement at Murcom industries in an industrial neighborhood south of the city of Los Angeles, and the manufacture and calibration of Mark V E-meter's at Delta Meter, in early 1970's, and then having gone back to community college for electronics technology after escaping Hubtoad's mental traps.. I am somewhat familiar with the devices and how they appear to work..

Consider the following information carefully - from chapter 2

" A Brief History of Lie Detection

This is a quote from a fellow named Larson, a forensic psychiatrist, who became interested in lie detection when he was a Berkley california Police officer, whose chief, August Vollmer, was profoundly affected by William Moulton Marston, a Harvard professor of psychology's. 1908 book "On the witness stand" and subsequent publications that earned him the title of the Inventor of the Lie Detector. Larson devoted much of his adult life to the pursuit of means to detect lies.. for use in criminal investigations.

"Most recently, Larson has said:

I originally hoped that instrumental lie detection would become a legitimate part of professional police science. it is little more than a racket. The lie detector, as used in many places, is nothing more than a psychological third degree aimed at extorting confessions as the old physical beatings were. At times I'm sorry I ever had any part in its development.

As the E-meter's 'reputation' as a truth finder seems high inside scientology, the fact of Xenu story (which is an undisputed lie ) immediately casts great doubt on Hubbard's claims that the E-meter is good for anything at all, beyond being

" a psychological third degree aimed at extorting confessions as the old physical beatings were." "After 30 years, polygraphers were coming to realize that questions like "Did you take the money?" or "Did you kill George Fisbee?" must sometimes generate stress or emotional reactions... even when the subjects are innocent."

to be continued..

Notes: 1) A selection from Chapter 13 of Eric Hoffer's The True Believer:

"Things which are not" are indeed mightier than "things that are." In all ages men have fought most desperately for beautiful cities yet to be built and gardens yet to be planted. Satan did not digress to tell all he knew when he said: "All that a man hath will he give for his life." All he hath - yes. But he sooner dies than yield aught of that which he hath not yet. " Eric Hoffer's The True Believer was published in 1951, President Dwight Eisenhower told his associates to read it, and I'm telling YOU to read it
