[edit] Document Inventory
I will try to provide a summary of the documents contained in this PDF, as well as a glossary of terms that may be useful while reading it. Apologies if this is not well-formatted. I have no experience with Wiki mark-up... perhaps someone else would care to reformat it?
At least some of the documents appear to have been entered into evidence in the Estate of Lisa McPherson vs. Church of Scientology case from July, 2002.

Does anyone know about the psychiatrist named on pages 30/31? Is he still around?
Google turns up rremick@shaw.ca.
[edit] View from Scientology Side
Here's a link to a few forum postings that show the scientologist's view of some aspects of the document (i.e. regarding "black ops"):
The full 34 page long discussion (with a lot of troll and flame noise) can be located at:
[edit] Cursory Analysis
In briefly looking over the pdf file these things are noted:
- A Sea Org Contract is not valid unless a witness has signed it. (May be included here as an example but that is only speculation)
- A majority of the "Official Documents" included in the pdf file are not actually written or authorized by L. Ron Hubbard (LRH).
- If you look at the date on the documents the invalid ones are written after 1986. (possible a couple of years earlier) Ron died in early 1986.
- Any documents written before 1986 but have a date that was modified after that are also invalid.
- A note on these documents (Many of these were written by Guardian's Office personnel. The Guardian's Office was at one point a valid part of the Church of Scientology whose duty was to protect the Official policy of the Church. At some point this section of the church became corrupt and started making their own policies and calling them official (Written by Ron) and even putting his signature on the documents. When it was discovered what this group was up to they were disbanded and most of the documents destroyed. A lot of the so called official church documents you see on the web are of this type and should be disregarded as Scientologist do not use or follow the information contained in these documents.
- When Ron wanted a policy to be considered confidential be put the words confidential just above the title of the document centered on the page. Documents that use other words and or phrases such as secret, top secret, etc are not valid. Ron believed in keeping this standard. If you see documents that don't seem to match the "usual pattern" it is probably not a valid document.
- There are official church policies contained in the pdf file. None of them unveil any church secret. You can purchase books that contain these documents from any Church of Scientology, they are not secret and anyone can look at them. You can walk in there and buy this book without being a member and anyone can do this.
- I only state this because many websites critical of Scientology claim to have official documents and while this may be true in some cases, there is no secret to them. Anyone can get them at anytime. The only problem with them being on the web is it may be a copy right infringement just the same as it would be to post an entire book such as Harry Potter on the web. So if you were looking for secrets documents...well sorry but you will be disappointed.
- If any information given here is not accurate, I apologize. It is not my intention to mislead. I only glanced through the pdf file.
