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 know personally, myself, with firsthand experience, that the Church of 
Scientology is trying to stop people from discussing Scientology here on 
alt.religion.scientology.

I saw, with my own eyes, Church lawyer Helena Kobrin try to remove this 
newsgroup from Usenet.

I saw, with my own eyes, OSA operative Andrew Milne reveal confidential, 
personal information about our own TarlaStar in an attempt to intimidate her.

I myself have been accused of being a child pornographer by a person 
attempting to defend Scientology here, using the account "Chris Miller."
I'm still waiting for "Chris Miller" to provide any kind of proof to back 
this accusation.

I saw, with my own eyes, as Kim Baker was changed from being a slave of 
Hubbard to a free-willed, individual, HAPPY being because of her 
participation in this newsgroup.

What have you seen, Tim?
