The term scientology was first coined in the 1920's, as a pseudonym for pseudo science.

Yeah, kinda like the forced abortions in the Sea Org, and the ordered disconnections from those who espouse the bleeding obvious.

Actually, L Ron Hubbard has been downgraded from 'Source' to 'originator' in order to justify DM's fluffy little tail. Btw, do you recommend that I only turn to Phillip Morris for information on cigarettes?

You should go yourself, and try reading Bare Faced Messiah, by Russel Miller.

I have a question Terryeo. Was L Ron Hubbard, the writer and professional in dozens of fields, too stupid to spot the alleged 'transcription errors' that made the 'new basics' necessary? Or did David Miscavige 'alter the tech' in defiance of kSW? It has to be one or the other, so who's side are you on? LRH or DM?
