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

FredricRice asked this question on 5/11/2000:
Greetings, Scientology experts!
I have reviewed a document on the Internet that describes what the
"governing policy" is for the Church of Scientology. Since this dated 1972
and since it's, well, kind of embarrassing, I'm wondering if this policy is
still the prime basis for Scientology; in other words, I'm wondering if
Hubbard's primary motivation for creating Scientology as described in his
policy letter is still being followed today. Indeed, if this is a forgery, would
someone let me know that it's a forgery?
Thanks!

In HCO Policy letter of 9 March 1972 Hubbard directed:
"GOVERNING POLICY
The governing policy of Finance is to:
A. MAKE MONEY.
...cuts for Fair Use considerations...
J. MAKE MONEY.
K. MAKE MORE MONEY.
L. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MONEY."

This policy letter is sure no forgery - I have studied it in Scientology.
On the other hand I did not study it as the "governing policy of
Scientology" but as the "governing policy of Finance" - which
is a difference.
The actual practice of Scientology which I have seen on management
level confirms, though, your idea: I have worked in continental
management and there the managers of the local organizations did
hang on the phone for hours each day and they did not ask about
spiritual advances of the members but they demanded rising
statistics, nothing else: sold books, sold services, delivered courses
and auditing hours. And money was a big point in everyday demands
of the organization managers.
