Well lets be sure we ask everyone the following questions to make SURE that we set the table level- and no I Don't buy into the idea that all sins are equal
. So if you can ANSWER YES to any ONE of the following questions you are close to being equal to L R Hubbard:
1. Have you ever
conspired to plant agents into a lawful government in order to steal information and use such information to intimidate and extort lawful agents of such government? Have you ever been named as an unindicted co conspirator for what was termed the largest infiltration of US government agencies ever?
2.Have you ever
stolen checks and pled guilty to such ? Have you pled guilty to being a
thief in court?
3.Have you
every claimed to be a "CE (Civil Engineer) a Nuclear Physicist, and possess (a valid) PHd" and to have been educated in "advanced physics" with the truth being that you
flunked out of university?
4. Have you ever claimed to have visited the planet Venus and have "
Almost been run down by a freight train"?
5. Did you ever claim to have participated in the "
blood brother"rites of the Black Feet Indian Tribe as a youth- when the truth was the Black Feet Indian Reservation was hundreds of miles from where you grew up and never mind the fact that this tribe never participated in such a ritual?
6. Have you ever claimed to be a "Wounded & decorated War Hero" and to "have been the first American Service man to have been wounded in the Pacific War" when the truth is- other than dropping depth bombs on magnetized rocks and firing on land owned by a
neutral country you never saw action?
7. Did you ever write an official policy for a religion (???) that stated ""
Show me any person who is critical of us and I’ll show you crimes and intended crimes that would stand a magistrate’s hair on end."? {- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin, 4 April 1965}
8. As a leader of a religion did you ever write a book that stated "
There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow."???{- L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL, p. 170}
9. Did you ever take an religion that you o
rganized to the high seas so that you could avoid prosecution for tax evasion? Whilst at sea did you employ teen age girls some of whom were younger than 16 as your personal messenger(s) and servant(s)? Did you every sentence volunteers for your religion to weeks confinement in a ships locker- some of those confined being younger than twelve years of age. Did you force older subordinates to push peanuts around the deck of said ship until their nose were bloody for minor infractions? Did you force workers, under threat of loss of status in your religion, to jump four stories from a ship into the sea with their hands and arms bound - and have them hauled by rope back onto the ship?
10. Did you ever develop a theory to heal Mental Problems, publish it as a book, claim to have completed controlled studies but never produced a SINGLE study? And when scientists did ATTEMPT to replicate your claims (in your book) about the "spectacular results" in a
controlled study did their study show that your claims were rubbish?
I could list at least a hundred such question- each more insidious and each backed by at least two to three references but I tire.
