PERSONAL INTEGRITY BY L. RON HUBBARD

by consuelo palacios | 02.08.2012

What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. And when you lose that, you have lost everything.

What is personal integrity? Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed. And that is integrity and there is no other integrity. Of course, we can talk about honor, truth, nobility—all these things as esoteric terms. But I think they would all be covered very well if what we really observed was what we observed, that we took care to observe what we were observing, that we always observed to observe. And not necessarily maintaining a skeptical attitude, a critical attitude or an open mind—not necessarily maintaining these things at all—but certainly maintaining sufficient personal integrity and sufficient personal belief and confidence in self and courage that we can observe what we observe and say what we have observed. Nothing in Scientology is true for you unless you have observed it and it is true according to your observation. That is all. L.

of widely accepted best practices for fundraising

Many American churches freely show their hand when it comes to money, going so far as to publish detailed financial statements online.

The Church of Scientology does not. Nor does its well-financed membership organization, the International Association of Scientologists, or IAS.

Fiscal transparency is a hallmark of any nonprofit seeking to build trust with the public, according to major groups that promote best practices for charitable fundraising.

Dozens of former Scientology parishioners told the St. Petersburg Times that they donated five- and six-figure sums to Scientology churches but were never given a financial report. They said the same held true for the IAS. Former church staffers said they didn't see reports either.
