No OE, I'm most certainly not an OSA operative nor do I consider your trepidation to be paranoid.
I'm interested in you and your well being and it would help if I knew your age. I don't need to know the date and year of your birth (which of course would give OSA a clue) but something like "late twenties" or "mid forties" makes a difference. If you are in your late twenties I might recommend you get a college degree. Mid forties, maybe maybe not.
Many people with college sheepskins have shit jobs though most of them probably make better $$$ than you. And many people w/o diplomas proper doing something they enjoy.
But I certainly recommend that you avoid being bamboozled by the antiscilons who do in fact blow an awful lot of smoke. Hubbard was NOT! "hiding from the law" his last few years. The Law was NOT! pursuing him. There were no outstanding warrants with his name on them and he was in fact a respondent. In 1985 Nibs accused CoS of covering up his father's death and went to court over it. The church responded that he had "gone into seclusion" and the court respected that asking only that they provide evidence of him being alive. Which he did.
And this "Hubbard pushed Mary Sue under a bus" thing is horsecrap. I don't know exactly what happened but if Mary Sue does not claim to have been pushed under a bus no one has any right to make that claim on her behalf and she did not.
CP......I am sick and tired of you holding up LRH to be some fantastic genius and promoting how wonderful he was/is. You keep defending him as if you are a member of the COS.
First you state....."Hubbard is widely alleged to have been a charlatan, a fraud, a chronic liar, a cheat, a thief, a plagiarist, a braggart, a child abuser, a tyrant, a coward, a blasphemer, a devil worshipper, a narcissist, a sadist, a sociopath, a madman, a psychopath, a weasel, a skunk, a scamp, a scoundrel, a scalawag, a skullduggery, a rapscallion, a bounder, a cad, a third-rate author and a walking yak festival", as you put it in your book....."The Amendment, Revised, Corrected and Refined", which I recently purchased on Amazon.
Then you state in your book..."L Ron Hubbard was and is a philosopher. Moreover he is incontestably the most famous philosopher of the twentieth century and arguably the recent century's most influential. His body of work, incongruously couched in the context of the wildest most bizarre cosmology ever conceived by man, clarifies, refines and expands mankind's knowledge and understanding of the mind and spirit and he produced and promulgated techniques based thereon known to improve mental function, spiritual awareness and to increase ability and weltanschauung and to reduce distress and disability particularly when resulting from physical and/or psychological trauma."
(for anyone who doesn't know what this word means in the above paragraph)
Weltanschauung | Definition of Weltanschauung by Merriam-Webster
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/weltanschauung
The German word Weltanschauung literally means "world view"; it combines "Welt" ("world") with "Anschauung" ("view"), which ultimately derives from the Middle High German verb schouwen ("to look at" or "to see").
I find your idea for the amendment interesting, .....but you didn't stick to the subject of the amendment itself. (Which for those of you who don't have the book or who haven't read it, the amendment has to do with the subject of abortion and CP talks about Laura DeCrescenza and her battle with the COS over her forced abortion when she was a teenager and used her as an example in what he is talking about. I have no problem with this, by the way.)
But....You had to bring into your book, which is supposed to be about an amendment, the subject of L Ron Hubbard, which has nothing to do with the amendment, as far as I can see .... and even though you talk about his ALLEGED despicable character, you then go on to extol what you consider to be his virtues and paint him to be Mr Wonderful. From what you wrote, and I quoted it above, you appear to me to be promoting L Ron Hubbard in your book.
You completely leave out of your book the damage L Ron Hubbard's "tech" and his influence has done to some individuals as well as whole families, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, and educationally. It's as if you don't even see these things, or you don't want to believe that it could be true, or you intentionally want to suck others into getting involved in Scientology and the technology of L Ron Hubbard.
