What does this mean "PAY EVERYTHING UP TO A DATE ALWAYS and no further" - does this mean that 1) the bills are to be paid on the last possible day, or 2) that all bills are to be paid that were due before an arbitrary date? This source [1] suggests that (2) is what Hubbard meant. So you might want to clarify the article text. -- Tilman 16:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
It seems like there are quite a few problems. The article is only sourced by some quotes from Hubbard, a primary source. There is no evidence that these are really the policies that Scientology organizations follow. I get my Internet service from Earthlink, a company founded by a Scientologist, and I have been very happy with their customer service and have never seen any evidence of these "policies" being followed by them.

Where did you get this idea?-- Fahrenheit451 15:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I worked for Earthlink for a while and there is a lot of Scientology influence in the way they do things. However, if there is a definition of "Scientology organizations" and it doesn't meet that I have no problem with that. The article still does not back up its first statement that these policies are followed by any organization. They might be, but no evidence from secondary sources is given. Steve Dufour 16:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I removed that template as it is utter NONSENSE. There is no way it even comes close. -- Fahrenheit451 20:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Here is the link to Steve's statements of faulty reasoning [2].-- Fahrenheit451 20:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Is "Scientology Finance" a proper noun? Nothing in the article claims that it is and from googling, I haven't seen anything to claim that it is. Assuming that it is not, this article should be renamed to Finances of Scientology or Scientology financial methods or Scientology financial policies or something ... but this name isn't a very good one. -- BigDT 17:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Misou needs to discuss the addition of a template an article. I am removing it as there was no discussion.-- Fahrenheit451 03:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
