Exchange vs. Extortion | Print |

As covered in articles in this website and others, Hubbard FORBADE the solicitation of direct donations. Our writers have exposed the reasons why David Miscavige intentionally set up entitles directed to bypass the normal principles of exchange, and seeking straight nonrefundable donations from parishioners instead of paying for books, training and processing which since 1950 has always been 100% refundable. 

Like a crack junkie, Miscavige can't get enough of that FREE money -- money he has squandered and utterly wasted to the tune of $300 or $400 MILLION. The IAS, the "Super Power Project," and "Ideal Orgs" not to mention 10% tithes from Scientologist-owned businesses for which WISE delivers virtually zero exchange, and many more such arrangements that have flourished under the dirty hands of David Miscavige... such are utterly illegal and degrade the reputation of Scientology.

LRH finance policy tells Scientologists never to go into debt to purchase anything. In the early 1980s, membership in the Church cost a mere pittance. Why? Because Hubbard wanted Scientologists to use their resources to get themselves and their families up The Bridge. The point wasn't to achieve a "status" it was to achieve higher levels of spiritual freedom and wisdom. And if you can show me some parasite who has corrupted and perverted even that lofty purpose, then I can show you the classic example of TOTAL FAILURE.  

The purpose of organizations was to sell and deliver materials and service and to get in people to sell and deliver to.

What should be done with the money which has been collected so far, provided Miscavige doesn't burn it all before he is caught and sent to jail?

What should we do about the illegal practices of bilking Scientologists for free money in the absence of any exchange?
