A few years later he founded the church of scientology. as in CoS "People should be free to believe whatever they want, including Scientology. What I have against CoS is its deceitfulness, its lack of compassion for its members (especially the hard-working staff), its aggressive hard sell, its arrogance, its attack on free speech, its litigiousness, its harassment of its critics, its lack of concern for families, its gross neglect and abuse of children, etc. " from http://www.xenu.net/cb-faq.html you can also help out at http://www.xenu.net/support.html Is that the sort of thing you wanted? exactly dave, it makes me feel that the archive have some use! I have one Scientology story - A couple of years ago I was in East Grinstead hospital (thing 'Guinea Pig Club') while they were trying to fix the little finger on my right hand ( they failed but thats another story ). There was this nice Maori guy in the bed next to me out of his head on pain-killers as he had third degree burns on his arms. Anyhow it transpired that he was part of a Maori dancing troupe that was doing some cultural tour at the behest of the Church of Scientology whose european headquarters happen to be in East Grinstead. The second day I was in the hospital I was beginning to get a little pissed off as you do and this party of bloody Scientology Auditors came along and started doing their thing with this geezer with only the merest of hospital screens around - I dont think that they get out the old baked bean can and avometer device ( Oooh sorry E-Meter ) but you can never be too sure - and this started going on for seeming hours and I was that bored that I had started reading Bjarne Stroustrup' book again. I'm not going to bore you with the details of wahat the prats were going o about but needless to say it could be deduced from Hubbards earlier writings and the basic milieu of cod spychology of the early sixties ... I complained to the staff and they said it pissed them off too but they got a lot of them in being the HQ and everything and they couldnt do much about it /J\
