Well, Australians are kinda Brits as they are still in the Commonwealth and still salute the Queen.

In other words, he was a predecessor to Rachel Dolezal.

BS, undoubtedly, but I imagine with all the training/controlling up to that time it seems very smooth and presented in a way to appear so very normal and effortlessly simple. I’m so sorry. No one should be able to do these things to others and especially in the name of religion. Thank you for helping to clear up the craziness.

No, you’re not crazy – Hubbard did in fact give *some* very good financial advice. Don’t spend money that you don’t have in the bank right now, keep your credit excellent and then never use it, etc.

His bad advice included “paying by dateline.” It’s too much to go into in detail, but essentially if you have one bill that’s 90 days delinquent and everything else is current, then let everything else fall delinquent while you catch up on the 90-day one. So you end up with lots of pissed-off creditors instead of just one. Many scientolist-owned businesses have screwed themselves following that bit of advice.

Now, the regges – registrars, the people who are tasked with getting your money – their job is to come up with other Hubbard references as to why you should fuck up your finances to pay them by this Thursday at 2pm. It’s the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics, or you’ll make more money with the ability you gain on this bullshit next thing I’m trying to sell you, or outflow=inflow so if you outflow $ then more $$ will come back to you.

The whole thing is bullshit, basically.

Thanks. It seemed contradictory but then again a Lot of the scientology teachings/directives seem so. I’m very sure there is a”perfectly logical planet saving” reason. That I will in all probability never understand.

Good luck, guys.

Fard, or Ford, was very light skinned and taken for an African-American with heavily European ancestry, but if researchers have correctly identified him, even claimed to be white in a census. His father was most likely from what is today Pakistan or Afghanistan, and his mother a white English New Zealander. So he apparently claimed to be either black (African descent) or white when it suited him, though he was really neither – a typically dubious founder for a cult.

Fard/Ford was apparently heavily involved in an African-American initiatory lodge that used ceremonial magic (magick), probably borrowed in part from freemasonry, and that used adapted Rosicrucian materials. This gives the NOI roots paralleling Hubbard’s involvement in Crowley’s OTO, and his apparent study of other esoteric, initiatory and magickal systems.

Name the time and place.

No, aquamarine, it’s all good. I do understand. It’s just that I can sometimes be a J&Der about things. Yes, I agree that religions can have beliefs which seem strange and bizarre to people. I mean, I’m a Mormon so I probably know this better than most folks.

No. In fact, he claimed to be black. His name was Wallace Fard and he did claim to be God according to NOI founder Elijah Muhammad. Get the book “Message To The Black Man In America ” and dear Elijah will tell you all about it.
