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.

Anonymous asked this question on 4/18/2000:

I've heard there's a Church policy called "fair game" which is used against its enemies. Is there such a policy under that or another name?

gave this lie on 4/19/2000:

This is a pet expression of attackers of Scientology to badmouth the Church.

[And that's a blatant lie. L. Ron Hubbard created a policy that specifically stated that his "enemies" -- and that eventually included everyone who wasn't a Scientologist after a few decades of his insanity -- that said anything even remotely truthful about his criminal cult was "Fair Game" that could be -- in Hubbard's own words -- "lied to, cheated, deprived of property" and "destroyed." And we all know what Hubbard -- in his insanity -- ment by "destroyed" - flr]

No, the answer is they have it all wrong. There was such a policy in the late 70's, but all it meant to convey was that those who had left Scientology and attack it and badmouth it publicly do not have protection within the normal channels of the Church; i.e. they cannot resort to a Scientology Court of Ethics, they cannot call for a Scientology Committee oe Church Chaplain, etc.

[And that's a lie. The cult's "Fair Game" policy gets applied to anyone who says anything truthful about the criminal cult. The people at Time Magazine, the Readers Digest, 60 Minutes, 20/20 News, all the "wogs" who've ever spoken out about the criminal cult that were never followers have all been subjected to this racketeering, RICOable "Fair Game" policy. It is a Hubbard policy that is well documented in hundreds of newspapers and court documents. It's utterly amazing that cult followers will still try to lie their way out of this embarrassing Hubbard policy - flr]

Scientology has better things to do than to play games with these apostates and troubled individuals. All the policy stated is that "they're on their own now". The policy was cancelled over 20 years ago as it was intentionally misinterpreted and used to slander the Church.

Truly, we Scientologists occupy our time with more fun things than to wreck someone's life or ruin someone's day. We have lives. best, Greg ChurilovSpirit

[Presumably having to admit the existance of "church" policy ruins cult followers' days - flr]
