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 5/11/2000:
Greetings!
Now [wait] a minute and hear me out, please. Don't go automatically
circleing the wagons just yet, if you would.
I have a two-part question for all of the experts on Scientology that are
still inside of the cult.
You might see what my next question is going to be yet hopefully you'll
be able to offer an honest answer and even give some consideration to
my question and to your answer. Yet my question is, would you purchase
a used automobile sight unseen from someone? And, sight unseen,
would you then extoll the wonderful benefits of that automobile
regardless of what you might have heard or read about it and the used
card salesman in the newspapers and television stations of your
neighborhood?

Frederic refer to my religion as a cult and you insult me. I won't
answer your mail, despite your efforts to publicly humiliate me or my
Religion. That tactic doesn't work on me, If you want to ask me a
question do so nicely. By the way I accidently opened
this, I don't read anything from you any more you sound like a broken
record half the time. I've never bought anything sight
unseen , neither a car nor my religion. And I'm not about to buy
into your silliness. I recommend anybody who is interested in
Scientology to ,yes go into an organization and check it out for
yourself. You can even waste time on the
bogus websites, I did. I've read the J. Atack book,the cooper book, the
russel miller book. And guess what I still know Scientology works.
So you got a win today Fred, I finally answered one of your insulting
questions. One of what now freddy, fifty? A hundred? I've declined to
answer over 100 questions in this category, though most were
duplicates. So live it up Fred. This is last question I'll answer from you.
Ask Desertphiles and Honorarykid, they have the message you're
interested in, not me. Spread it elsewhere.
FredricRice asked this follow-up question on 5/11/2000:
Thanks, Larry. That's the first part of my question. The second part is:
Since you wouldn't normally purchase a vehicle sight unseen, why did you
purchase Scientology without first knowing what you were buying? I am
talking specifically about OT3, Xenu, body thetans, and the other aspects
of Scientology that are kept hidden until _after_ someone buys into it.
And please, climb down from that tree. No one here is trying to hurt you; I
wish to understand the Scientology cult better and it's only through its
writings and the comments by its followers that I can get to understand
Scientology.
Thanks in advance for your _calm_ and _rational_ answer.
larrybergen gave this response on 5/12/2000:
You assume too much Frederic, as I've said I haven't purchased
anything sight unseen.
End of communication.
FredricRice asked this follow-up question on 5/15/2000:
Does that mean you knew about Xenu and body thetans _before_ you
bought Scientology?
I ask because I've been unable to find the "proper terminal" inside of
Scientology to ask about Xenu. Every time I ask, the person turns
avariable shade of red and professes to know nothing about Xenu.
Since you knew about Xenu and body thetans before you bought into
Scientology, could you tell me where you went to find out about it before
hand?
Thanks.
