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

Jack Taylor wrote a substantial article on this is the Denver Post
unknow month 27, 1983; title "Scientologists in Oil Business."
This would be about the same time that Autor Services invested
money is a Reno, Nevada send-us-money-we'll-keep-it-in-gold-in-
our-vault business.  James Lowell Demurs ran the outfit called
Great Western Wealth.  Howard Ruff of "Ruff Times" did a negative
article about the company.  Demurs split, and the company was broke.
A couple reserve Sherriffs who worked for a radio station there 
started investigating.  Enter Gene Ingram representing Author Services
with this bit of advise for the reporters: "If you are going to mess
with the hawk, you'd better beware of the beak."

DeMurs was last seen in Tustin, CA ... quietive.
