Screw Apple

After reading this, there isn't enough money in the world to make me ever want to work at Apple.

As it was originally written, it was meant to apply to corporations/governments/people who were ACTIVELY trying to do serious harm to the Church. In that sense, yes it was Hubbard's policy.

However, DM has since broadened it's use to include anyone who disagrees with DM, or mentions in a SecCheck that they've thought about leaving staff, or dares to ask why DM never gives concrete numbers when he's announcing "highest ever" stats at the events. In that sense, no, it's not Hubbard's policy.

Hubbard wrote policy that specifically stated that ANYONE who requested a refund was to be payed that refund in full before the next weekly staff meeting. HA! I've seen people spend years getting their "donations" back, if they even managed to get them then! I've seen the best and most successful staff in an org tossed out and "declared" for no better reason than a rich relative wouldn't come in until that person was gone. LRH at least tried to service people - DM only services bank accounts.

I have heard that while Hubbard was actively in charge of the Church of Scientology, it was much more light-hearted than now, and even fun. Hubbard is said to have taught that Scientology and Dianetics should be fun. That is not the case with Corporate Scientology as it now is. David Miscavage is obviously one of those opportunistic little bastards who, given the opportunity to have total power over a group of helpless people, enjoys wielding to the fullest -- in the manner of, say, an Ivan the Terrible. That only happened after Hubbard's death, so it can't be blamed on Hubbard. Miscavage is now on the run because Interpol, the FBI, etc. want him on human trafficking charges. I just hope that without him Scientology will become something which can be fun once again, because it sure as hell ain't now!
