I more or less agree with your assessment, and I'm one of the 
anti-scientology folks. I do not post negative comments about
Scientology because it is a religion/philosophy. I believe that
L. Ron Hubbard and the CoS have rooked and manipulated people to
no end. That pisses me off. It's possible that people do get
some help from Scientology, but many are being ripped off in a
big way. 

Read Jon Atack's _A Piece of Blue Sky_. The unsavory nature of the
church is revealed in full.
