Scientology has taken an enormous "hit" in the media that makes it difficult for most people to view it dispassionately. And it continues today; yesterday's film journals were full of stories of Paramount threatening to cancel the filming of "Mission Impossible III" because Tom Cruise has been too vocal lately about Scien- tology in his press junkets for "War of the Worlds." The demonization of Scientology has been so effective that the same people who would throw a hissy fit at bad-rapping Jews or Christians or any other religion or belief system look the other way or find it acceptable when someone bad-raps Scientology. I, too, have issues with some of the practices of the Scientology org, but as with TM, too many people have found value in it for me to write it off as valueless.
