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 5/9/2000:

Does anyone know what the difference between the book "Scientology: A new slant on life," written by L. Ron Hubbard, and the book "Scientology": A new slant on life by L. Ron Hubbard" written by the IRS?

You are confused. No Scientology books have been written by the IRS. Scientology: A New Slant on Life is by L. Ron Hubbard.

Actually, another expert who knew the answer already got back to me on this. You're telling another unfortunate whopper.

Hubbard wrote a book called "Scientology: A New Slant on Life." Several years later, after his death, the IRS re-issued a look-alike book with the title "Scientology: A New Slant on Life by L. Ron Hubbard" which contained greatly altered materials. It was written by an IRS agent apparently at the behest of either CST or ASI.

If you don't know the answer to questions, might I suggest you don't attempt to answer it anyway?
