The Fishman Papers

The case file for Church of Scientology International v. Fishman and Geertz contains over 700 documents. This web page presents a declaration filed by Steven Fishman on April 9, 1993 in which he included the OT (Operating Thetan) materials as exhibits. Links to a few other interesting affidavits are given at the end of the page. The order form for these materials will not be honored now, since the judge sealed the files on August 15, 1995.

Declaration and Exhibits

OT (Operating Thetan) Materials

The OT2 and OT3 portions of the court record have been voluntarily removed from the Carneige Mellon web site due to copyright claims by the Church. They have been replaced with links to web sites in Sweden and the Netherlands. Copies of the complete Fishman declaration are also available at several other sites. Note: there is a controvery over the Church's claim that the OT VIII documents are forgeries.
