Scientology hard time: L. Ron 2.0 moved to state prison, but eligible for parole!

[LRH 2.0 and his new digs in Pikeville]
Back in November, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard — a/k/a former California ex-con Justin Craig — pleaded guilty to various felony drug charges after spending four years in a Tennessee county jail.

We’ve been following his saga for years, ever since he showed up on the “independent Scientology” scene in 2018 in Washington state, claiming to be the reincarnation of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) and actually gaining a small but ardent group of followers. (And yes, Craig really did legally change his name to “Lafayette Ronald Hubbard.”)

During those years in jail, he kept up communications with his flock, who really are convinced that he’s Hubbard returned to Earth, and send him money each month. But then we lost track of “Ron” after he pleaded guilty and was transferred to the Tennessee state system.

Now, he’s finally showed up on the state inmate register and we can tell you where he is.

​

According to the state, Lafayette, who is 38 years old, is now being housed at the Bledsoe County Correctional Complex in Pikeville, Tennessee.

It’s a relatively new facility, and we understand that it’s generally where state prison inmates are initially housed before perhaps being moved elsewhere.

This stuff fascinates me, hes a brutal violent drug dealing convicted criminal, and yet he's got these fanatics following and supporting him as being some kind of spiritual wizard. As if this world needed more examples of how some people can become insanely willfully ignorant and dismissive of any evidence, regardless of how obvious, that they've invested themselves in something or someone truly awful.

Well, this demonic assclown confidence scammer heavily abused the Krenik's and their hospitality. As a result, he was finally booted from their Washington state group and publicly disavowed some years ago (well before he went to prison where he now resides). Despite their public warnings about Justin Craig, he still has a few remaining dedicated followers of him and his Esperianism garbage.

When is he going to release OT IX and X?

Past ESMB post

It’s been more than three years now that Lafayette Ronald Hubbard — his actual legal name, although we also know him by his original moniker, “Justin Craig” — ended up in a Tennessee jail awaiting trial on numerous serious charges, including several that he’s picked up since he’s been in custody.

Craig had a long criminal record even before he ended up in the Anderson County jail in October 2021, but he had also spent some time in the Pacific Northwest, where he managed to convince a number of “independent Scientologists” (people who practice Scientology outside the official church) that he was the returned L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986), the founder of the Dianetics/Scientology movement.

We had an interesting time in 2018 messaging with Craig and revealing how extensive his criminal background was, including prison time in California for some attempted carjackings and a penchant for violent retaliation. He didn’t seem very convincing as the reincarnated Hubbard — he didn’t know what Ron actually called his third and final wife, for example — but to this day there are some indie Scientologists who are convinced that LRH has returned to Earth, and that “Lafayette” has actually improved on Scientology’s “technology” in a new form called “Esperianism.” (He seems to be calling it “Expedited Scientology” now.)

And, believe it or not, some of those ardent followers who are convinced Craig is the returned LRH send him money in jail, month after month.

He communicates with those followers through social media, and we’ve posted a number of his announcements here over the last couple of years. We thought we’d show you the latest, which is pretty remarkable even by Justin Craig’s standards.

Yes, I've been known to get facts wrong before, but I would still like to know, if that's actually true.

This from 2023, on Facebook, found under "Esperianism":

"A Critique of Esperianism
By Patricia Krenik
Issued: This 27th day of August, 2023.
Definitions to be applied to the above title:
1. Critique, to review or analyze critically:
2. Critically: the act of passing judgment as to the merits of anything.
Opening Statement
I am known to be a Scientologist of very long standing. While not in Good Standing with the COS, RTC, and CST (Scientology corporations) I am reasonably well known as a Free Zone Scientologist, as a person who is not connected to the above organizations, but one who has studied and applied Scientology Tech for 72 years, 30 years in connection with L.Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology, and 32 years disconnected from the COS.
The definition of Esperianism is: The practice and study of being an immortal spiritual being. Its goal is the spiritual liberation of all beings, by the use of the mental-meditation technique called "Phasing."
The best Phasers are, according to Ron2, the Founder of Esperianism, are those who are trained. Ron2 is Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, born as Justin Alan Craig in June 1987 in Crestwood CA. Ron2 doesn't deny Scientology's effectiveness and workability, he just considered that it needed to be modernized to fit with the current society and education. "

Ah, so you did. My apologies for somehow missing that.
