Ron's Orgs member, Sol, who started this thread, believes that Ron Hubbard was murdered during the early 1970s and replaced with a look-alike, and that there was/is a galactic-wide conspiracy to stop Hubbard (Elron Elray) from freeing Mankind every step of the way.
This evil interplanetary conspiracy to stop Mankind's only hope for freedom, in Sol's mind, would justify any seemingly Draconian steps taken in the early days before Hubbard was replaced with a doppelganger. In any event, Sol likely believes that Hubbard cancelled Fair Game and Disconnection in 1968, so it was his look-alike imposter who was the villain.
It was the doppelganger who did bad things and altered the tech. The real Ron, meanwhile, was back at the Mother-ship in his doll body, planning the next step, which would be Bill Robertson (Astar) establishing the Free Zone

To Sol, and people like him, Hubbard is an heroic figure of galactic. or even universal, proportion.
And he, Sol, in his own mind, is an Operating Thetan, probably a member of the elite Galactic Patrol, and in possession of knowledge, which he will not share with outsiders, regarding the Galactic Grand Council.
While ridicule may seem the natural response to someone such as Sol, who has been led, with easy gradients, and likely deceptively, by Scientology/Ron's Org's proselytizers/disseminators, to where he is now, is he really that different from many here?
We're simply further along the path than he is.
Ron's Orgs is the most successful - in terms of membership numbers - expression of alternate Scientology. It provides a make-believe world which flatters the ego, and lots and lots of upper
upper levels. Scientologists are junkies for levels.
And it is very much a secretive cult, and Scientology does best as a cult.
