In reply to Mike Rinder. Good answer. Yes, it's puzzling. I guess there's no sense going crazy trying to figure out crazy. :)

Well, that’s a good question that we will never know the answer to.

Perhaps he was convinced that he could separate from this “body” thetan if he had no body? I don’t know. It’s crazy no matter what answer you have for that question.

In reply to Mike Rinder. Why would Hubbard bother attempting to "blow the thetan away" if he just wanted to commit suicide?

In reply to Harpoona Frittata.

Oh boy – the suicide thing again. From “Going Clear” caps mine

Gibney narrating; “Hubbard believed that A powerful thetan was infecting his body.”
. . . . . .
Sarge; “He was having a PROBLEM getting rid of A BT so he wanted me to build a machine to BASICALLY blow the thetan away, just to get him out of there and also kill the body.”

Wright; “It was a suicide mission?” (leading question)

Sarge; “BASICALLY, yeah”

Huh?

It was never about “getting out the tech out” as much as it was about money; that’s been true from the beginning. I remember well some staff getting into big trouble selling reel-to-reel tapes in the early 80s for huge sums of money (at a time when cassettes had been around for years) so they could get their 15% commission. There was a guy called Martin Caruana at St Hill who regularly used to call old Scientologists in Australia (from the UK) after hours to get them to use money on account for books. He got his 15% but the Org soon realized it was a bad deal as the money was transferred from the CGI.

On the Marty matter – I have taken a sort of ghoulish fascination in his recent blog assertions since I stumbled across it recently. It now seems the few commenters that are allowed to post there are VERY carefully vetted and the sound of most are rather corporate church-ish. Grasshopper reported that his comment had been replaced with a piece of anti-Ortega propaganda inserted in its place (it seems to have been removed now but I saw it with my own eyes). Marty’s videos are now linked from an OSA hate site. Again, I’m not about to speculate as to his motives, but here is a conclusive fact: Marty, for whatever reason, is actively supporting David Miscavige and his organisation. That’s now indisputable. Miscavige, the same guy who Marty wrote and reported on, times too numerous to count, who had been in Marty’s words a violent sociopath, a sexist, homophobic, foul-mouthed bully. It’s all on his blog in his own words. And Marty is supporting him. I’ll just leave it there. I’ll always remember the day in December 2009 when I first met you and Marty together to bring him my E-meter for the Panorama show. I had to buy a charger from St Hill to get it working properly. Marty was tickled by that. Good times. So sad to see him now.

I do believe, all the same, that Miscavige is a full on believer: Where else could he acquire that fixed, mechanical, inhuman glare, like he’s intoxicated by the certainty that he’s right period and that humanity’s eternity rests on his shoulders.

Tim-S,

I don’t believe the queue for the Kool-Aid begins on this particular blog.
Safe “travels”.

My opinion is: it is a very good thing that all the books, lectures, tapes etc. are sell at great price; in this way only few peoples have the “chance” to be brainwashed with LRH lies and false science.
