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.

Anonymous asked this question on 5/8/2000:

I've always wondered why Hubbard wasn't in better health given his ablility to "purely" apply scientology/dianetics. Can anyone explain why he died at an average age and in such poor health with rotting out teeth? Also, do Scientologists believe that Hubbard has picked up a new meat body yet? Is David Miscavige head of the RTC for life? Is he accountable to the parishoners in any form? What is done to insure that statistics taken are meaningful? Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

I think some revelation about Hubbard's attitude towards doctors is in Kima Jason's story, also known as Kima Dunleavy.

Re hubbard picking up a new body... I don't know about this, but it would take Hubbard coming back from the dead to save scientology.

re Miscavige -- I don't know this answer, Im sure he wants to be.

re statistics - they have penalties for false reporting 'statistics', but theres not much the average scientology can do about the nutball at the helm now.

Perhaps if john travolta would give him those Psychlos high boots, Miscavige would be a happy camper.
