Actually, I regret the tone I used in my post. I got carried away. In my defense, however, I had read every word of what josepp wrote and got a little overwrought at its tone and the fact that there was no accountability in any of it. Heck, any one of us is capable of choosing a target and making up our own story about it. Scientology - much as I don't understand/condone/participate in it and its premise - is an actual phenomenon with adherents and in my opinion if one is to attack it one had better document one's sources.

Reminds me of once when I went to a church to hear a highly touted musical quartet. The preacher (I think it was the preacher) spoke before the music came on and said something about Jehovah's Witnesses and said something to the effect of "and we know what they are like". If I'd been JW I would hope I would have walked out. Probably should have, anyway.
