To Scientologists, founder L. Ron Hubbard is a larger-than-life figure — a war hero, philosopher and humanitarian.
But the real man was a dissembling, emotional wreck who made up most of his legendary exploits out of whole cloth, writes British journalist Russell Miller.




In the Pacific, he was given a submarine-chaser to command but then spent two days depth-charging non-existent Japanese subs off the coast of Oregon. Later, he fired on Mexican territory for target practice, setting off an international incident. As for his “injuries,” the record showed that Hubbard suffered from arthritis, conjunctivitis and a stomach ulcer.


In August 1945, the Navy man encountered Caltech rocket scientist Jack Parsons, whose Pasadena home had become a boarding house for eccentrics. Parsons himself was into occult research, which Hubbard joined in eagerly (along with stealing Jack’s girlfriend).

Scientology is about as useful to human beings as al-anon. "Get rid of your personality, be a stick in the mud and do as we say. Resistance is futile."

You could swap that for Socialist thinking, it seems to me.

Each is equally worthless to human existence.

Trying to get me started?:laugh:

When being a mindless, PC walking microchip is placed above being human and having a personality, mistakes and all, you lost ME.
