First of all what is the definition of RC's? Why do you think that truth is
unknowable?  Why would Man keep looking for truth if it was unknowable?  If
you dropped your keys on the floor in the dark you wouldn't give up looking
until you found them.  The problem with truth in my opinion is that it has
been so long since anyone has found it in the dark that we gave up.  The
secret is that someone found a light and now millions are finding it.
Scientology never evaluates anything for you.  It just guides you down the
path with the light on and you find all sorts of keys that you know you lost
but had even forgotten you lost them.  The only word I can think of that even
starts to describe it is magical.  I know it's not terribly technical but
it truely is.

world's most power and money hungry groups in history ...
get suckers money, even by dubiously legal means
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Who said this garbage?  Could you possibly generalize more? 
Yep, Scientology is out to get YOU so go run and hide in the closet.  Go read
my posting BY THEIR ACTIONS ...

What bothers me is the way they scream when someone acts against them, and
slaps them on the wrist when they bend the laws.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If someone told a baldfaced lie right in your face wouldn't you get a little
pissed!!!!  Scientology is the MOST law abiding organization on this planet.
They even have an entire department devoted EXCLUSIVELY to ethics.  Wouldn't
it be nice if Congress had that and it actually worked!!!!

I would love to have you find even one law that Scientology bends. A mighty
big generalization I must say! Go for it.

corrupt heirarchy of L. Ron Hubbard's little church.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Oh NO!  Look another lie.  L. Ron Hubbard designed the Church of Scientology
exactly himself.  The operation of all parts of the church is written
down in policy for everyone to understand.  It also is the responsibility of
all to report any violations of these policies so that any misapplication
of standard tech is swiftly fixed.

Is it just me or does all this seem like rumor and gossip?

Go read Dianetics.  It doesn't matter where you get it.  But just imagine the
immense profit the church must get from the $5.95 book. You have to be kidding.
