Dear Public Relations of the Church of Scientology, (Robert)

• 1) Why is the Code of Honor, THE ethical code of scientology missing from the "Introduction to Scientology Ethics" book?

  The Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary define the Code of Honor as;

  CODE OF HONOR, 1. the ethical code of Scientology; the code one used, not because one has to, but because he can afford such a luxury.

• 2) Isn't it ironic that this essential "Code of Honor" (previous called the "Code of Behavior") is not in the ethics book?

• 3) Why isn't "Ethical Code" defined in the ethics book?

  ETHICAL CODE, an ethical code is not enforceable, is not to be enforced, but is a luxury of conduct. A person conducts himself according to an ethical code because he wants to or because he feels proud enough or decent enough, or civilized enough to so conduct himself. An ethical code, of course, is a code of certain restrictions indulged in to better the manner of conduct of life. (PAB 40)

  - -- Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary

• 4) Why isn't the term "Ethical Conduct" defined in the ethics book?

  ETHICAL CONDUCT, conduct out of one's own sense of justice and honesty. When you enforce a moral code upon people you depart considerably from anything like ethics. People obey a moral code because they are afraid. People are ethical only when they are strong. (Dianetics 55!, p. 25)

  Out of a 446-page "ethics" book, the above basics are nowhere to be found.

• 5) Don't you consider this a major outpoint?

  Ironically, not even the term ETHICS is defined in the glossary of the lastest '98 "ethics" book. (It USED to be in the glossary of earlier versions.)

  Though the '89 CST dba "L. Ron Hubbard Library" version defined ethics in its glossary as ....

  ETHICS: "that section of the organization whose function is to remove counter-intentions from the environment and having accomplished that, the purpose become to remove other-intentionedness from the environment."

  All earlier "by L. Ron Hubbard" versions defined ethics in its glossary differently as ...

  ETHICS: "Ethics is reason and the contemplation of OPTIMUM survival." (The CORRECT definition)

  Was this just an "oversight?"

  The only word with ethics in the '98 glossary is ... "Ethics Authority Section"

  Mostly, the book is about the 261 rules of the Church of Scientology, Inc. So it's mostly a book on 3D MORALS.

  So the book's name is a misnomer, it should have been called "Introduction to Church of Scientology, Inc. Morals"

• 6) Why has the chapter called "The Table of Conditions" been omitted? (from HCO PL 14, March 1968, "Corrected Table of Conditions")

  It use to be in the reprinted 1985 By L. Ron Hubbard version but it's not in any of the Copyright Church of Spiritual Technology, Inc. (dba L. Ron Hubbard Library) versions.

• 7) Why has the important chapter called "Safeguarding Technology" been omitted out of the '98 "ethics" book? (HCO PL 14 February 1965, Keeping Scientology Working Series 4)

  It starts of with ...

  'For some years we have had a word "squirreling." It means altering Scientology, offbeat practices. It is a bad thing. I have found a way to explain why."

  It is in the reprinted 1985 "By L. Ron Hubbard" version but it's not in the '98 Copyright Church of Spiritual Technology, Inc. (dba L. Ron Hubbard Library) version though it was in the '89 LRH Lib. version.

• 8) Why has the Bibliography been omitted in the '98 edition which should reference the source data in the entire '98 book?

  The 1985 edition said "The following materials by L. Ron Hubbard were used in the compilation of this work. They are listed in the order of their occurence." Then it listed source HCOB's and HCO PL's.

• 9) Isn't tracking source reference materials important anymore?

• 10) In the Copyright 1989 Church of Spiritual Technology (dba L. Ron Hubbard Library) version, why does shift the definition of bibliography to mean only a list of other L. Ron Hubbards books instead of a list of references that source the data in the book?

• 11) In the Copyright 1998 CST version, why was the chapter on "Bibliography" finally taken out all together?

• 12) Why were Knowledge Reports taken out of the chapter entitled "Types of Reports"?

  The SOURCE document for this information is called "Staff Member Reports" HCO PL of 1 May 1965, Issue 1

  • a) Why was the title squirreled?

  • b) Why is the last report #21 "Knowledge Reports" OMITTED? The squirreled ethics book only lists 20 reports. But there are 21 types of reports.

  • c) Why is half this entire HCO PL missing from the squirreled '98 ethics book? It's missing the entire section called "Cleaning the Files."

• 13) Where does LRH authorize cut and pasting, and changing his works?
