Personal
Counselors Articles of Incorporation |

Before Personal Counselors, INC. was
a Re-evaluation Counseling business, it was incorporated as one of L. Ron Hubbard's first
Dianetics Mission in 1952. |

|
|
Letter
from Harvey Jackins on Dianetics |
|
Jackins participated in Hubbard's
outreach to the medical and psychiatric professions to gain acceptance. When Dianetics was
critically scrutinized by these professions, Hubbard and Jackins denounced them to the end
of their lives. RC and Dianetics/Scientology continue to disparage the mental health
profession and forbid members from taking psychiatric medications. |

Letter from a Dianetics
Organizational Secretary to the FBI denouncing Harvey Jackins as a Communist after he
broke with Hubbard |

reorganized Personal Counselors INC as "Re-evaluation Counseling," Hubbard went
after Jackins through the FBI by identifying him as a Communist. |

An FBI internal memo regarding the
above letter |
|
Hubbard was known to the FBI as a crank but
Jackins was eventually called before the infamous House Unamerican Activites Committee
(HUAC). There, Jackins refused to answer questions but instead made a sales pitch for
RC/Dianetics. |

Post from Steve Jebson on
"alt.religion.scientology" about the above memo. |
|
This was posted on the Scientology
newsgroup and later archived on zenu.net, the a Scientology resource similar to this site
and dedicated to telling the truth about Hubbard and Dianetics/Scientology which is
suppressed within that group. This post reflects how Re-evaluation Counseling and Harvey
Jackins is regarded by ex-Scientologists. |

|
Letter
from Tom Copeland, Regional Delegate to RC's World Conference |

RC's attempt to cover-up Jackins'
sexual exploitation involved silencing people in RC, censoring RC literature, throwing out
people and even whole communities, and finally instituting the "Attack Policy." |
