Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copoyrighted 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 4/24/2000:
Why do so many members of the "Church" of Scientology post
questions here, the answers to which can be conveniently
cut-n-pasted off of $cientology's official websites?
This has happened several other times, and in several other places
on the net... For instance, L. Ron Hubbard has been voted "best
author," &c. in a couple of internet polls, and his book rated
"#3 of all time," &c. This happens when the "Church"
of Scientogy [] ts the call out to all members to hit web sites and vote
for LRH as many times as possible, to get LRH's ratings "up."
It's transparently obvious to everyone that the "Church" is doing it
to attempt to increase LRH's "repute," so as to more easily con people
into joining.
You decry the "critics." "Boo-hoo," you say, "they're harassing me.
They're practicing religious intolerance! They're bigots!"
What you've failed to mention so far is that without the critics
that ask you the hard questions, the only side being presented here
would be the totalitarian, mind-controlling cult's side.
And we can't have that, can we?
All the best.KoX
Greg Churilov refuses to address the issues again, saying on 4/24/2000:
And I imagine all this is just constructive criticism from an
objective, friendly, helpful soul :-) Spirit

[And in fact the cult has a policy that specifically orders followers to
spam and flood newsgroups with Hubbard's insane paranoia - flr]
This web page (and The Skeptic Tank) is in no way connected with

absurdly idiotic web pages, check out www.scientology.org or any one of the
many secret front groups the cult attempts to hide behind.
