How do we ignorant out here know which group is more or less bogus? 

I've heard many horror stories regarding how the Church of Sci will
"attack" those who "leave the folds", and I understand it is their
policy to attack to "utterly destroy" these people who are declared
"suppressive"....none of these are my own words although they are
paraphrases. 

Now, I'd be skeptical if this was an isolated person.=20No...I can cite
at least 15 people from different areas of the country and different
walks of life who have said the same thing. 

Personally, these "squirrels" seem to be much smaller (and hence much
safer) places to go to get this information (whatever it is). 

There's also this code that says "Never be afraid to hurt someone in
a just cause". Care to explain this?

   History is not usually what has happened.
            History is what some people have thought to be significant.
