well Terril,
yes it's true green on white says never tell lies in PR. Unfortunately your leader, LR Hubbard told a lie from the get go, namely he said he cleared 270 people in his book dianetics, DMSMH. Maybe that book was a lie, aye, or a violation of "never tell lies in PR"?
As your case supervisor, or C/S, lets begin an auditing session with an E-Meter. Here are the questions:
Auditor: Did L Ron Hubbard ever tell a lie?
Terril: (awaiting response)
Has anyone actually read the entire PR Series?
It's all over the map.
Hubbard mentions "PR of PR," "nicey nicey PR," and the "Sunday school version" of PR, and then starts changing the definition of PR.
It turns out that there are many definitions of PR and many types of PR according to Hubbard.
The same PR Series that Scientologists insist demands truthfulness of Scientologists, when explaining to "wogs" that Scientology PR is "the first truly honest Public Relations," also advocates "curving," exaggeration, misrepresentation, and selective omission of information.
"Gimmicks" and "capers," to be used by Scientology, are mentioned.
Also authorized for use is "Black PR."
This deceptively "nicey nicey"-coated topic has been covered before, but I guess hardly anyone has seriously studied Hubbard's writings on this and related topics. (Understandably, who would want to?)
So, when some goofy Scientologist stands up and proclaims that L. Ron Hubbard demanded truthfulness in PR (barf!), we "wogs" are poorly equipped to respond.
