"lrhbare" - читать интересную книгу автора (Jacobsen Jeff)

Towards the completion of this work, I was reading the
Australian "Report of the Board of Inquiry Into Scientology" from
1965, and was amazed to see that some of my research was a
repetition of that work. The advantages to the Australian report
are that they were able to call many actual experts to give their
opinion of Hubbard's theories. They also had representatives of
Scientology at hand who were allowed to present evidence as well,
although they apparently did not produce anything that negates
anything in my writings. This is a wonderful document despite
its age, and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to delve
deeper into the subjects I have written about in this work.
Actually, there should be no need to write about Hubbard's
ideas at all, since most of them are so absurd and indefensible.
Hubbard's writing style is grandiose, difficult, exasperating,
and just plain wacky. But despite all this, there are still
around 70,000 Scientologists today who consider Hubbard a genius
and live their lives according to his dictates. Scientology
still actively advertises and recruits the unwary, and so long as
this is happening, those of us who know better must speak out and
expose the lies and deceits. The way scoundrels win is by
having no opposition. One of Hitler's first official acts when
he became chancellor was to silence his critics. If we as
critics remain silent, Scientology can go a long way, and Hubbard
knew this - hence the constant attacks by Scientology on its
perceived enemies.

REVIEW OF HUBBARD'S THEORIES


First I must tell you that there is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for
most of Hubbard's theories, despite his claim that they are
"scientific facts". Secondly, Hubbard had no academic background
to come up with theories of the mind, despite his false grandiose
claims of world travel and incredible education. Finally, the
actual scientific community and in fact the real world all
dispute with credible evidence almost all of Hubbard's theories.
Despite this, Hubbard still has a following. And since he and
the Church of Scientology have placed his teachings into the
marketplace of ideas, it is useful to all interested parties to
have these ideas critiqued. But first, a brief overview of those
ideas.
If you already understand dianetics and Scientology doctrine,
you may wish to skip this chapter as it is a general overview of
these. Most of this booklet deals with the teachings from the
