email to Joe and posted to ARS...

Dear Joe:

Your analysis didn't show up on my server, dammit (but not unusual - I miss a lot of posts.) But I saw it elseways and wanted to merely say how good it was. This is exactly what is needed on ARS, to study LRH himself and dissect Source because the poor Scientologists isn't allowed to do it.

Hubbard prided himself on being a "philosopher" but he and the organization will never allow him to be studied in this way. Can't you see a college course on Hubbard, right next to one on Satre and Plato and Kant? In those, the students would argue and debate and analyze. Over in the Hubbard course, when you challenge an idea, you are told you must have a misunderstood word. Or maybe you have hidden crimes?

And the next thing you know, private investigators are climbing all over you and your friends.

Yup, it would be a really popular college course.

Until then, ARS is the only place this can occur, and that is why they want to shut it and people like us down. That's why they call it "The Bridge to Total Freedom."

And what was that "work is freedom" slogan the Jews and Gypsies read as they entered the camps?
