Hubbard was said to be a bit freaked out by this, but quickly realized these were True Believers he could use.
Hubbard picked Clearwater as the home base because of the words "Clear" and the mystical properties he attributed to "water"? Do you know what those "properties" were? And how does that played into the Sea Org thing?
Also, is it true they keep files on "enemies". Isn't it a little creepy that a religious organization outside the middle east would be so paranoid as to have "enemies"? ( OK, it's also creepy that religions in the ME have enemies...)
Haven't a clue, but FWIW he was a Pisces.
Also, is it true they keep files on "enemies".
Yes. Extensive files. VERY extensive files.

Yes.

A bit, but I don't think they've worked anywhere near as hard to create enemies as scientology did to create its' enemies...
