Until recently, www.lrh-books.com/mailings served a large number of web pages used in HTML mailings to people who were on Church of Scientology mailing lists.  These were publicly available to anyone browsing that URL.  The mailings date back to 2002.  The main site at lrh-books.com was primarily focused on selling audio recordings of L. Ron Hubbard's "Congresses" -- a series of lectures he had given.  Recently, celebrity ex-Scientologis Jason Beghe commented the following:

"There was a big thing maybe about two years ago, that everybody wanted you to listen to your 'Congresses.'  A Congress was a meeting that LRH had in the early sixties, and he would get a group of people together and give a series of lectures on X.  It all really had to do with Clearing."
"The Congresses are part of what got me out of Scientology.  If you listen to the Congresses, it goes like this: 'Hi everybody, I'm LRH.  I'm very happy you're here.  Listen, I've got great news--we've got Clear handled.  It's this new technology... this is foolproof and this is it.  Welcome to 1964.'  Dianetics didn't work even though nobody never said it didn't work, so they were always trying to perfect Clear.  Then the *next* Congress.  There were 20 or 30 of these fucking Congresses, maybe about 200 hours or some shit!  Every fucking Congress is 'OK, we've finally got Clear.' This is going on from 1964 to 1970 and they still havn't handled Clear but they're *selling* you Clear.  And I said, 'What the fuck? That's exactly what they're doing to me now!"

The contents of www.lrh-books.com/mailings contained much more than marketing of the Congresses.  It contained a variety of email newsletters, multi-language sites, and other Scientology marketing materials.

These files could serve several purposes:
1. To serve as fertile ground for those researching the CoS
2. To bring to light various Scientology teachings excerpted
3. To show connections between the CoS organization and their affiliated organizations such as NarcAnon, CrimAnon, CCHR, and Applied Scholastics
4. To demonstrate the degree to which the organization commodified its teachings, and illustrate the ongoing baiting process Jason Beghe describes

You may browse the files in your web browser, but you may also wish to make use of the full-text search function of your preferred software to find materials relating to exactly what you're looking for.

Some sub-directories have index.html files, which means that if you view them in a web browser you might see only the index.html and NOT all of the other files in that directory.  You can use filelist.html to see all of the files in the archive.

	- all javascript is commented out (including Google analytics)
	- HOWEVER, there is still some embedded flash that links to CoS sites if you click on it, so be careful (you never know what they are logging)
