It's hard to tell.  Scientology hides itself behind a rather large
crowd of unobviously named corporations, associations, and committees,
so it's hard to judge exactly what they are up to.  They obviously
have enough funds at the moment to spend huge amounts of money in
attempts to libel Time Magazine, but as to their membership or their
leadership, nobody (besides the church, and it won't talk much, and
when it does its figures are usually inflated or deflated grossly,
depending on the image they are trying to portray) really knows.
