Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

In other words: as a professional Field Staff Member, you are a 
salesman.  Your duties are to pull as many people into Scientology as 
possible, using any means possible, because YOU MAKE MONEY BY DOING SO.

In fact, the standard policy is that Field Staff Members - such as YOU - 
earn a 15% commission on the money spent by everyone they bring into 
Scientology.


How many other religions do we know of who have SALESMEN like this?  How 
many other religions PAY people to convert others to their "faith?"

How many other practitioners of other religions are ordered NOT to give 
away their services for free?
