If you could ask L. Ron Hubbard one question, what would you ask?

• This is my favorite answer thus far!

• This is easy to answer if you've been sufficiently audited. The fact that you're asking the question reveals that you're still a long way from "clear". There is a Warrior's program which can get you to clear for about $120k, if you don't mind mortgaging the house and taking 6 months off work.

• I think one could look at ANY religion or cult and find crazy, hostile, mean members/adherents as well as ones who weren't like that at all. Anyone who judges a group or religion by one famous adherent is an idiot.

• Abbyguy, I've posted a number of things here and it seems to be going quite well. One comment out of the many does not constitute a starting out really badly (or, conversely, a starting out really well). I had a reason for saying what I said, just as anyone here who says anything has their reasons. Jade's response was more than adequate and had explained matters to me quite well and was/is appreciated.

• Can't rate you, but I read that he made $1 off the bet he had with Isaac Asimov about being able to create a religion. Truth.

  • Report
  

  by teknimage on January 7th, 2007

• I read it in Isaac Asimov's biography. He and Hubbard were very competitive and even though they were friends, they saw themselves as rivals. Hubbard claimed that fans of his were more devoted than Asimov's were. So Hubbard bet Asimov that he could create a religious phenomenon within his readers through his writings. I actually made a mistake when I said that Hubbard made $1 off the bet. Asimov's biographer claimed that he was so angry that Hubbard actually pulled it off that he refused to pay him. I've also read that even though Dianetics was supposed to be a work of fiction, Hubbard developed a taste for mixing drugs with alcohol, which is where most of his "delusions of grandeur" and prophet-like self-assertion came from. His widow and leaders of the Church were even arrested breaking in to Canadian Intelligence offices to steal files that had been seized from the Churches Canadian headquarters that documented these very things about him. It's all too crazy! LOL

• Well this has shattered my faith in Asimov -- it was a fair bet, I believe that $1 should have been paid. Integrity is everything! :-)

• Jodie, you're still chewing on that old cud? First off, you don't have to be a woman, to know anything about "rape". And to say so, is sexist in my opinion. And because of what we were talking about, "experience" (being a rape victim) doesn't make you any more, or less qualified to talk about the subject. But please, let's not bring up that old "dead" subject...This is completely different. I wasn't putting her down, first off. And she openly admitted, to not knowing anything about the subject, where as, you are just claiming that I no nothing of that other topic. If I truly didn't know anything about it, unless I was interested in learning more, then I wouldn't bother saying anything.

My "real" name is Marshall Murphy, as I have stated before. Look for one the questions, "what is your name?", and you will see where I posted my whole name. Ok, is that settled now? I hope so, because I thought we were going to try and get along now...

This whole time, I thought you were talking about my e-mail name, which is Marshall Mathers. You see, whenever I have to put my name to register for something, I put Marshall Mathers, because it's easy for me to remember, being so close to my "real" name, Marshall Murphy. If you still believe that MarshallMathers, is me, then why don't you ask Joel what his e-mail and/or IP address is. It won't be the same, because it's not me. I hope you will believe me...I'm not lying to you.

• Well, it bothers me greatly, although I appreciate your being gracious about the whole thing. The last thing in the world I'd deliberately do to you or anyone is accuse you of something you weren't guilty of. I hate being treated unfairly myself, and if I did that to you, at the very least, I have to figure out what happened and make it right, somehow. I know it's just Answerbag and all that, but that's not the point. I believe I was wrong here, and now I need to figure out where I screwed up. That could help stop others from making the same mistake, i.e., confusing you and mm. I doubt you want people to confuse you and mm - you are totally different, in so many ways. There were a couple of times there when I'd read your answers, then read his, and wonder if I was seeing things.
