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.

ddlewis asked this question on 4/27/2000

I am highly skeptical when ever I read someone draw parallels between one organization or person and the Nazis. Why would someone compare this church to the Nazis? That seems unlikely to me.

Greg Churilov gave this lie on 4/28/2000:

There is no parallel.

[And that's "something of a whopper," as my grandmother would say. Setting aside for the moment the fact that the Scientology organization has dressed their children up in Nazi S. S. uniforms when they were protesting Helmut Kohl, the cult's aims and goals are the "clearing" of the planet.

What that means is that everyone must become a Scientologist. Hubbard specifically stated that those "on the 1.1 tone scale level" were to be "disposed of quietly and without sorrow." The fascist and totalitarianistic ideologies of this cult can be summed-up rather well by the cult's own "Fair Game" policy wherein Hubbard states that anyone named an enemy of the cult can be "destroyed" by any Guardian Office / Office of Special Affairs cult follower.

The cult's "Guardian Office / Office of Special Affairs" is a paramilitary domestic terrorist cult that wears pseudo-navy uniforms that, amusingly enough, makes one think of Captain Crunch. These fascist paramilitary nuts form their mad messiah's toy Navy and the intention of their mad messiah is for this group to run the planet after it has been "cleared"- flr]

Scientology is currently under attack from several NeoNazi fronts in Germany.

[And in fact the organization has been raided all over the world because it's a criminal organization. The cult's "International President" Heber Jentzsch is facing 30 years in a Madrid prison; in part for inducement to suicide among other things. In particular, the cult breaks into company and government offices, engages in black mail and extortion, engages in racketeering and money laundering and fraud as a matter of Hubbard policy - flr]

Scientology promotes freedom of thought, tolerance of other races and beliefs, harmony with other human beings. Scientology stands against EVERYTHING nazis stand for.

[And that's a whopper. Hubbard complained that there were too many unwashed "chinks" in China and also said that Negros were too unintelligent to register on a wheatstone bridge (that's the cult's "e-meter".)

Additionally the primary reason why this cult killed Lisa McPherson was because everyone culpable in the homicide were not allowed to think about what to do to save her. The people had to unthinkingly apply Hubbard's "tech" and in so doing set aside their reason and their thinking and the consequences was the killing of poor Lisa - flr]

PLEASE NOTE:

Scientology is a new religion, based on the philosophical writings by L.Ron Hubbard (writer, humanitarian, scientist and philosopher). A philosophy leading to a well-balanced and happy life.

[And that's a whopper. Scientology is a criminal organization, according to most of the criminal and civil judges around the world which have had the organization in their court room. Hubbard added the notion that it was a religion as a tax scam. These facts are well covered in numerous court documents and affidavits from ex-Scientologists which assisted Hubbard in creating the mock religious traipings of the criminal business. Indeed, some of the people who helped to create the mock religious traipings mention how everyone used to laugh and joke about it, joking about how eventually they would have to bring in stained glass windows to finish the ruse - flr]

(For the Aims of Scientology, see http://www.whatisscientology.org/Html/Part12/Chp37/pg0684-a.html) In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a small group of corrupt individuals were thrown out of the Church. The main reason was misuse of position and influence for personal gain.

[And that's a profound whopper. The criminal organization was raided and over 23,000 of the cult's in-house secret documents were seized by Federal agents in the mid 1970's.

As a result 11 ringleaders went to prison though there were also numerous unindicted co-conspirators (which included Hubbard and ringleader Keneth Moxon who still run their piece of the percentage) that some how managed to escape prison (Hubbard fled the long arms of the law and hid on a ranch in Northern California where he died.)

Many of those ringleaders continue to run the criminal organization, among them is David Miscavage who forged a single document naming himself as Hubbard's replacement. When the dust settled, the Scientology cult that Hubbard contrived was successfully taken over by "disloyal" thieves. There is no honor among thieves - flr]

The individuals have banded together and with the advent of the Internet have used this new technology to spread malicious and poisonous lies about the Church of Scientology.

[And yet this expert is unable to specifically name any of these lies for some reason - flr]

Since these individuals position themselves as "experts", they ocassionally gain the attention of the media or forums such as this one.

[And in fact many of them were high up in the organization and left it after too many years of being asked to perform criminal activities. Among them was Jesse Prince, the one-time second in command of Scientology under David Miscavage, and Arnie Lerma who was mostly responsible for the creation of the cult's "e-meter." - flr]

Please be advised that the individuals are NOT Scientologists, they do NOT represent either our Church nor public opinion. Futher, please be advised that they are driven by very simple motives (bigotry and profit) to attack, sue and discredit a faith that has been recognized by the United States Supreme Court as a bonafide true religion.

[That's an amazingly silly whopper. The USSC does not and never will dictate what is and what is not a religion. This is a lie that the Scientology cult's leaders try to make their followers believe. Apparently the more gullible of those followers swallowed the lie - flr]

[Another interesting and, if I may say so, freakishly bizarre claim from the Church of Scientology. This is one of the more amusing paranoid notions from a Scientology cultist yet, I must say. Presumably everyone who knows the truth about Scientology is under the employ of Janet Reno and the BATF <smile> - flr]

Please do not grant these disaffected hatemongers the opportunity to spread their hate. Report hateful questions to the Askme authorities. Thank you so much.

[In other words, please ignore 99.99% of what you read in the media, court documents, and the Internet, and ignore what your own reason tells you. Swallow the lies that followers are told instead - flr]
