Well, there is freedom of speech; however, it would be ethical to also
provide full disclosure.  Unless I'm mistaken, the exscientologist few
are in legal violation of copyright and trademark laws.  I don't know
if there are any legal suits pending, however.  Maybe someone does.

Secondly, if anyone wishes to pursue supposed "scientology" by
exscientologists they should request disclosure of the consequences
from the exscientologists and from a Church registrar or ethics office.
Simply stated, exscientologists and their students, will find progress
on the standard Scientology program more difficult.
