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 5/9/2000:

I also find in the Auditor's code item number 27 which reads, "I promise to refuse any being to be physically injured, violently damaged, operated on or killed in the name of 'mental treatment.'"

In light of the Lisa McPherson homicide, does anyone know if _this_ one has been repealed as well? And if not, what the Condition of Ethics would be?

lrfarny gave this response on 5/9/2000:

Dear Fred,

Lisa McPherson's death was an accident.

Your lie that it was a homicide is totally irresponsible and false.

But it has your characteristic disregard for the truth I have come to expect.

The average rating for this answer is 1.

You rated this answer a 1.

You may wish to "word clear" the word "homicide." It's possible that Scientology has removed that embarrassing word from their dictionaries -- for obvious reasons, or redefined it to apply only to "wogs."

Still, her death was no accident. One doesn't tie people to beds and starve them to death because they want to leave and call that an accident. They klled her because they weren't allowed to think for themselves. They had to follow their mad messiah's policies and allow him to do their thinking for them. That's what killed poor Lisa.

But I still want to know whether Item 27 has been removed from the current Auditor's Code. If you don't know, just don't answer, please. Spouting an obvious lie to strangers asking serious questions is rather disrespectful. Some other expert will know whether Item 27 has been removed or not.

Thanks.
