I believed Hubbard. I was with him on his ship in 1974. In essence he never left the Navy because formed his own called the Sea Org. He seemed most at home with naval cap and cape. He was completely in his element as the commodore, ruler over his minions. He was such a convincing liar.
Chris Owen nails the lying bastard to the wall. The Hubster started his 'war wounds' crap while he was at Princeton doing some Navy course in civilian administration. While there, he spent a lot of time with Robert Heinlein at the Philadelphia Navy Yard where Heinlein was doing some work. Heinlein asked his group of sci-fi writers to give Hubbard some 'room' as he was a wounded Navy man, hurt during a torpedo attack somewhere.
I am surprised that Hubbard's injuries from a Japanese machine gun weren't claimed until '65. All of the official injuries the Hubster 'suffered' amount to mostly stress related causes. As for the ulcer, no one in 1945 knew about Helicobacter and its role in ulcers.
Thankyou Chris Owen, for putting things in historical context.
The "pathelogical liar" remark the judge made about Hubbard, and that the organization follows Hubbard's lead, pretty much is the best summary answer to why Scientology lies.
Hubbard did, so they do.
Tightly fits with the "blue sky" nature of Scientology's false promises.

A teller of tall stories. A fiction writer.

Also Scientology policy in a nutshell.
Why? Because lying is a religious sacrament in the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology. But thanks for asking.
