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.

FredricRice asked this question on 5/8/2000:

I'm not sure who to ask inside of Scientology and I'm not sure they would give me an answer even if I called upo and asked.

L. Ron Hubbard Jr. was disinherited by his daddy. Was that because he was gay or do you know if there was some other reason?

Thanks.

L. Ron Hubbard Jr. (nicknamed "Nibs") was with his father in the early days of Dianetics and Scientology.

Nibs Hubbard had a falling out with his father, and left Scientology in 1959, mainly due to the increasing angry outbursts and arbitrary and capricious behavior of his father. He was so embarrassed with his father that he changed his name to Ron DeWolfe.

He later testified to many of the sordid details that had been suspected by many people about Scientology's operations, putting him squarely on his father's "enemies list." This is why he was disinherited, not for any other reason.

He was not gay, as far as I know. He had a wife with whom he raised a large family, none of whom were raised to be Scientologists.
