In the interim, Mrs Hubbard #1, neé Mary Louise "Polly" Grubb, had divorced Habbard, so his third marriage, unlike his second, was actually legal.

Legal? Hubbard did something legal?

Well, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.

Hey! This is nothing......

"The courts damned Scientology for the secrecy surrounding OT2 and OT3." Spaink posted to alt.religion.scientology shortly after the September 4 ruling, "and says that Scientology – which they call an 'organisation', not a 'church' – uses that secrecy to wield power over its members, and furthermore states that Scientology is attempting to overthrow democratic values."

This reminds me of the ongoing battle between the Watchtower (the legal corporation that controls Jehovah's Witnesses) and former Jehovah's Witnesses who have posted Watchtower secret documents on line.

Kent Steinhaug, a former Jehovah's Witness in Norway, frequently posts documents embarrassing to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society on his Watchtower Observer Web site ( Note: Article removed - URL retained for reference).

His posting of such files as an alleged copy of the Watchtower's Branch Office policy manual, as well as a letter in which the Society allegedly tells the Czechoslovakian government that they do not forbid members from obtaining blood transfusions or performing civil service, has been ignored by the Brooklyn headquarters and thus their authenticity cannot be verified (Steinhaug refused to comment on the documents).

His posting in 1996 of the copyrighted Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock, however, quickly prompted an angry response from the Society that resembles the Church of Scientology's earlier reaction to the posting of secret documents on the Internet.

Steinhaug's website seems to be offline currently, but the embarrassing documents have been posted in other mirror sites.

I noticed that also. There are quite a few Mormon Freepers, but not that many Scientologist Freepers ;-)

It's a matter of not upsetting the apple cart, I guess.
