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!
