The following letters are in reply to an article that ran in the prior issue of Life Magazine
" Alan Levy, shares his shattering experience with Scientology that began in New York and ended at Hubbard's St. Hill Organization in Sussex, London under the title 'A TRUE - LIFE NIGHTMARE'
LIFE MAGAZINE
Scientology...A dangerous method of mind-probing attracts a large cult. A true life nightmare. By Alan Levy...Beginning on page 99 November 15, 1968
A growing cult reaches dangerously into the mind - SCIENTOLOGY "
The article is quite long, Lermanet's elves are still trying to remove all the typo's, but it will be avilable quite soon...it is both chilling and contextually accurate, enough so that even the great master Con-man himself, L Ron hubbard felt compelled to write a letter to Life Magazine in a style that has been since 'duplicated' by the classic Heber Rant mode.. of heber jentzsch when he appears in the media...

SCIENTOLOGY
Sirs:
"Scientology-a Growing Cult Reaches Dangerously into the Mind" (Nov. 15) is the most frightening arti- cle or story I ever read! Poe should with- er away in his grave.

Sirs:
Give me a man any day, anytime, who thinks as his psyche allows, feels, fears, hates, loves, reacts-in other words, a man with a personality-over a sublime idiot who doesn't even know why he is happy except that he has reached a state of mind that excuses him from all problems, complexities and joys of living.
MOLLY RAUBER

Sirs:
I was involved with Dianetics back in 1951 in Los Angeles. After I saw trusting, innocent people fall for Hubbard's game, I came home and burned my auditor's diploma. On general principles, I don't object strenuously to conmen. But where others minds and lives are hurt, I must draw the line.

Sirs:
There must be some law that can stop this cult. We have a son who has com- pletely alienated himself from us because we won't concur with their ideas.
BECKY FRIDKIN
Pomona, Calif.
Sirs:
Those attacking Scientology run mental institutions. They make millions out of it. They advocate brutal, murderous actions against the insane. They are terrified of losing the avalanches of money gouged out of governments. They see Scientology taking it all away with kind, effective measures. There is no question in their minds but that Scientology works. That's why they are attacking it.
A thousand other philosophies and religions arise every year with no outcry from the madmen in charge. The hundreds of thousands of victims of the enemy, as,in all fascist actions, cannot complain. They cannot even talk. They're dead.
L. RON HUBBARD

as usual Hubbard accuses his enemies of his own crimes, you know, if Scientology DID actually raise a persons "IQ" as HUBBARD claims, then people wouldeventually come to see through L Ron Hubbard's scam and get the hell out of Scientology...
For Scientology, THAT's a conundrum.
