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

I put up a post a couple of days ago as part of an experiment. You see, the 
last time the local culties called me up for a 'chat', was after I had posted 
to this board a few, lets say, unflattering remarks about the company. Please 
note that I refuse to acknowledge their claim of being religion when they do 
nothing more than sell products and services for a fixed price. This is no 
different from a car dealer or a department store. I dont know about you, but 
I have never entered a St Ford of the Big Muffler dealership!

So anyway, I had written a few unflattering remarks about Scientology Inc and 
within 24 hours they contacted me by phone. When I asked why they had called, 
their pr person said just to chat and to follow up on my protest of their org. 
No, she does not read the internet and in fact doesn't know what it is!

Well, I wrote another unflattering post the other day and low and behold, I 
got a phone call! So if you want to talk to scientologist, use ARS as it works 
better than the Bat signal does for Batman.
