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 4/27/2000:
Greg Churilov declined to answer on 4/27/2000:
The Church of Scientology tied Lisa McPherson to a bed and starved
her to death because she wanted to leave (see, among others,
http://www.lisamcpherson.org/)
Do you know whether this deadly "introspective rundown" ritual
is employed routinely in the Ft. Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida,
or was this murder a rare occurance?
Thanks.
Greg Churilov gave this profound lie on 4/28/2000:
Oh COME ON! Lisa McPherson's death was a tragedy, but to use her to
defamate my Church is SHAMEFUL!! Lisa was a psychotic. She ran naked
through the streets of Clearwater, Florida. She had been REFUSED
services as the Church of Scientology because of her mental condition.
She had a psychotic nervous breakdown as a result of an altercation
with her abusive family. She would have been institutionalized. Scientolog
.org) and thus it intervened.
If the cultists responsible for this homicide had been allowed to think
for themselves, Lisa would have been taken to a hospital. Indeed, Lisa
wouldn't have been held against her will in the first place. But because
the individuals responsible for this homicide had to unthinkingly
apply their mad messiah's insane notions, they wound up killing her - flr]
Lisa was given plenty of rest, plenty of food and a LOT of attention
and care. She was treated with love and decency. She was given ONLY
over-the-counter sedatives to help he sleep.
Lisa repeatedly fought with her captors and accurately informed them --
according to the cult's own records -- that she knew they were trying
to kill her.
This cultist is doubtlessly unthinkingly mouthing off what his cult
leaders are telling their remaining followers - flr]
Unfortunately a sudden medical emergency ( a blood-clot) led to her
being RUSHED to the Hospital by Scientology staff. She didn't make it.
And this cultist also doesn't mention that they delivered her body to a
hospital four hospitals away (a 45 minute drive at best) so that they
could drop her body off with a Scientologist doctor who could do a cover-up,
rather than a hospital emergency room that was just half a block away from
the Ft. Harrison. No one can say whether the emergency room half a block
away could have brought her vital signs back if they had not wanted to cover
up the homicide.
It's amazing what the cult's leaders are feeding their followers in light
of the easy availability of all the court documents and the cult's own
internal documents that cover this killing. Presumably the cult's
ringleaders order their remaining followers not to listen to the news or
to read the newspapers - flr]
Lisa's death is a sad, deeply unfortunate incident.
It is something that ocassionally happens when dealing with the mentally
ill. hundreds of incidents such as this occur in Mental Institutions and
nobody even talks about them!
The cult held her against her will because she was talking about escaping
from the cult. If they had just let her escape, she would be alive and,
of course, talking about the inhuman things she was subjected to while in
the cult - flr]
Meanwhile, millions of Scientologists go to Scientology Centers every
day and get great results, and are happy human beings. Must you
sensationalize and distort Lisa's death to attack my Religion? Shame,
deep shame on you.

Subject: Lisa McPherson
No reason was provided for declining this question.
[What this cultist doesn't mention is that Lisa McPherson had just
months before this incident been proclaimed "clear" by the
cult and as such was supposed to be incapable of this behavior. Lisa
paid an unknown amount of money for these "services" that
literally drove her insane.
[That's an unmitigated lie that the cult's ringleaders doubtlessly had to
start telling their remaining followers. The cult's own "baby
watch" records taken every day of her captivity show that they
subjected Lisa to inhuman torture and routinely administered drugs without
doctor's orders, without a licensed medical doctor present or proscribing,
held her down so she couldn't escape, and tried to force feed her.
[And we know that's not true as well. The cult's own records show that Lisa
was starved to death and died from dehydration and forced bed rest. The
cult also admitting (accidentally, it looks like) in court records that she
died inside of the Ft. Harrison Hotel where they had held her captive
against her will.
[And that's a lie that Hubbard came up with. First off, Lisa was driven
insane by the cult's "TR's" -- that's "Training Routines"
and by the cult's "Auditing" -- a hypnotic brainwashing process
wherein subjects are forced to manufacture past lives memories and beliefs.
[And that's a lie that the cult's ringleaders tell to anyone who'll still
listen to them. There are only anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 cult
followers in this particular cult. And from reading messages written
by Scientologists, it's unlikely that any of them are happy - flr]
