You would think if they really believed in their religion and thought it was good they would want everyone to know as much as possible about it.

Celebrities lead charge against Scientology

Hollywood figures quit 'rip-off' church as Australian prime minister threatens parliamentary inquiry into its activities

And it is not only in Australia that Scientology is facing problems. A new book in America – Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of the Church of Scientology – by Marc Headley, an employee of the church's Los Angeles headquarters for 15 years, details – as others have – allegations of systematic abuse and bizarre episodes, such as the three weeks Headley claims he spent under instruction from Cruise in how to move bottles and other objects by concentrating on them.

I know that *I* would.

I've been trying that for years with vodka and tequila...  At first I thought the vodka wouldn't move because I didn't know Russian.  But after trying it on the tequila, as I do know Spanish, I've come to the conclusion that that wasn't the problem.  I'll keep you posted on any breakthroughs though. ;)

As an added bonus, I'll also build you your own custom spiritual box thingy to sleep in too!

But wait!  If you call now, I'll even throw in two packages of Mighty Putty, AND a six month supply of oxy-clean!

I'm not sure, but I think Randii has stopped offering that now as he's spent thirty odd years having his time wasted by wankers over that.

Status: offline 		Heavens! A movement reliant on psychological manipulations that charges people money to belong and more money to join the hierarchy, forces those who have offended against it to make recompense or face disciplinary measures, abuses and exploits its adherents, holds that it has all the answers and special dispensation over the world and condemns those who are or who go off-message?

We let many other movements alike get away with the same thing every day of the week.
