Church Snubs Mary Sue Hubbard
The Church of Scientology management, it seems, has deliberately obliterated all mention of one of the major pillars of scientology. Mary Sue Hubbard, wife of Founder L Ron Hubbard
(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- Born in Texas USA, Mary Sue was raised in Houston
graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from Texas University. She discovered
Dianetics and, giving up a potential career in Petroleum, trained in Dianetics
receiving her Auditors Certificate in Wichita, Kansas in 1951. Mary Sue
immediately became a staff auditor and began to help Ron as a research
auditor.
In 1952, Mary Sue and Ron were married. Mary Sue then traveled
with Ron to Phoenix, Arizona to establish the first scientology
organization.
Something not generally know is that, among other things,
Mary Sue helped Ron to coin the word "Scientology".
During this time, as
well as being a mother and running a household, Mary Sue still found time to
assisting Ron in his continual research and development of the technology and
philosophy of scientology.
Mary Sue was a key figure in the establishment
of the first church in Washington in 1955. After spending some time abroad, Mary
Sue returned to Washington and in 1958 their first child was born. Mary Sue then
assisted in the establishment of the Church’s International Headquarters at
Saint Hill, UK in 1959.
Mary Sue was known for her constant good sense
and devotion to Ron and to Scientology. She earned the trust of the staff and
public and it was well known fact that, when Mary Sue took over a duty in an
organization it would prosper and be highly successful.
Right up to 1964
Mary Sue assisted Ron closely in his research working tirelessly with the
development of the applied philosophy that has given so much to so many people.
Even the media, not noted for their kindness to Ron Hubbard or Scientology,
never referred to Mary Sue as anything less than "charming".
The Church
however, has seemingly set out to obliterate any record of Mary Sue, There has
even been rumors that she was pushed out of the church with a mere pittance
after the death of her husband and the will changed to exclude her and the
family. All mention of her has been deleted from tapes, books and other material
and you would be hard put to find any reference to one of the staunch pioneers
that paid such an instrumental part in founding scientology. Even her death in
2002 was ignored by the Church and her name was stricken from the International
Association of Scientologists (IAS). The question is why? What possible motive
could there be for covering up and deleting all reference to Mary Sue Hubbard?
Could it be there were activities behind the scenes surrounding the death of Ron
Hubbard the current management wish to keep private?
“Well not everyone
wants to erase her from their memory”, said Michael Moore, President of the IFA
(international Freezone Association)
“The Freezone, that area of
scientologists who exercise their right to practice their philosophy ‘outside’
the church, have paid tribute to Mary Sue with a web site http://marysuehubbard.com
honoring her memory and acknowledging the many accomplishments she made to the
cause”. He
went on, “ Even if the Church ‘management’ would like to forget
Mary Sue. Many thousands of Scientologists do not and evidently wish
to
acknowledge and pay their respects to a true pioneer of this
movement”.
