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

Could Warren McShane or one of the other Scientology readers on this
newsgroup explain to me why the use of Church of Scientology materials
at management training seminars would embarrass a prominent company
like Allstate Insurance? Why would they be embarrassed merely to have
this information revealed?

Why would a company like Allstate find it so important to distance itself
from LRH Management Tech that it would engage in a "plausible denial"
coverup? Why would they oppose Scientology's Management Principles?
Why would they be unwilling ever to use them?
What's so bad about the Church of Scientology that a major company like
Allstate would expend so much energy in order to dissociate itself so
completely from any mention of Scientology or its Management Tech?
