Scientologists have to find out for themselves
The truth is that LRH was a paranoid psychopath.
I do believe his main goal was to make money, make more money and have someone else make money for you. But after swallowing his kool-aid, he began to believe his own bullshit just as much as his followers did.
Unfortunately, he was a profilic writter with a huge imagination and lots of time on his hands, so he wrote and wrote and wrote all kinds of garbage that will be around for years to come. And Scientology will survive as long as there are people out there gullible enough to believe in it. "There's a fool born every minute" as the saying goes.
One thing everyone has to realize is that no matter what is posted on the internet proving that L. Ron Hubbard and his "Church" lied, and continues to lie, you'll never get a current member to agree that it is true.
They are not allowed to question the validity of anything other than Hubbard's "Tech". Their affirmation is that everything written by L Ron Hubbard is the true and definitive word. It can not be altered or disputed ( even if it has been since his death in 1986 ).
Hubbard, the Church and anything positive written about the church is the only truth. Anything negative is false.
