Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copyrighted 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.
Subject: Why not free?
Anonymous asked this question on 5/1/2000:
If Scientology is such a boon to mankind why are Scientology services free,
or offered at a bare maintaince fee?
Greg Churilov gave this programmed response on 5/1/2000:
Why should something of tremendous value, that costs effort to
administer and years to train on how to practice effectively, be given for
free to someone who provides no exchange for it?
Is this communism? Since when getting something for
nothing is an admirable goal?
What about dignity and self-respect, the ideal that one produces
something in exhange for something?
Scientology owes nothing to the World. Scientology staff members work
very hard to make Scientology available. The fees collected for these
services pay for the staff members' wages, lodging, childcare and for
expansion and new premises.
Finally, the hundreds of millions of dollars that this criminal organization
rakes in every year simply disappears. A large percentage goes toward
paying lawyers and private investigators, and in paying for criminal
racketeering activities -- not to mention staying out of prison. The vast
percentage of the loot that this criminal cult rakes in simply disappears
into the coffers of the cult's ringleaders - flr]
What possible reason would Scientolgy management have to deny those
basic values to its organizations?

[This is the logical fallacy known as "Begging the question."
Since the Scientology cult doesn't sell anything of any value, this
cultist is programmed to get the notion that there's something of incalcuable
value in right away - flr]
[And in fact being swindled by crooks is the American way - flr]
[Actually, cultists that are brainwashed enough to actually sign up as
"staff" are paid a few dollars a day -- which gets cut in half
if they're sent to the cult's prison; the so-called "Rehabilitation
Project Force." There is no "child care" insice of
the Scientology crime syndicate since the cult's mad messiah considered
children to be adults in small bodies and, because they don't produce
any money for his pockets, Hubbard called them "down stat" or
"down statistics."
[Notice how the cultist never answered the question? The fact is that
there is nothing of value being sold by the cult ergo there is no honest
answer to the question put to this cultist - flr]
