Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

ebay1 asked this question on 4/20/2000:

If Scientology believes so strongly in freedom of religion, why have these groups been declared Suppressive (as per Flag ED 2830RB, 25 July 1992)?

Greg Churilov couldn't answer this embarrassing question so he lied on 4/21/2000:

Because these groups seek to supress Scientology knowledge.

[And that's a blatant lie. These groups were labeled "enemies" in an really insane and paranoid Hubbard Policy letter because he labeled them "Fair Game." These groups ignored the insane Hubbard and his criminal cult, just like the psychology industry did and that angered Hubbard -- who was already quite mad enough as it was - flr]

These groups are shody attempts by individuals thrown out of the Church of Scientology in the schism of 1977 to start their own movement and use L.Ron Hubbard's philosophical knowledge for their profit and gain.

[And that's another lie. The cultist calls the massive raids, felony indictments, and the destruction of Hubbard's Scientology cult -- which was remade into more-of-the-same by the survivor of the indictments: David Miscavage -- a "schism." How amusing. But it doesn't have anything to do with Hubbard insanely labeleing these Christian churchs "enemies." That appears to be something that the cult's ringleaders are trying to make their followers believe - flr]

Scientology does not question Religious Freedom, it simply defines these groups as what they are. It is quacks like a duck... best, Spirit

[And that's a profound lie. In fact Scientology is a criminal organization that adopted the traipings of religion so that they could defraud the IRS and the Federal government. These facts are covered rather well in the many court documents and affidavits and depositions offered to the court by people who were responsible in part for perpetrating the frauds - flr]
