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

People, people, people. John.

The Cult of Slimetology is not a reasoning entity. It robotically follows
the methods Tubby prescribed. 

OSA would merely take the names, use the people for legal target practice,
and laugh about you in their smoke filled meetings.

Believe me. I have been there and seen it.

Even if and when the organization itself blows apart due to people turning
each other in, there will still be some hard core splinter groups trying
to apply Fatty's "tech" verbatim, fair game and all.

Once again, this is not a compassionate, reasoning entity. It is an arrogant,
ignorant robot careening through the courts with its head cut off spraying 
its precious bodily fluids (money) out as fast as it can pump.

Just stay out of its way and poke a stick at it as it spins by, just enough
to keep it provoked and irrational. We are still waiting for it to do 
something really naughty in front of the whole world. I mean, how long
can it let itself be degraded and crapped upon by SCAMIZDAT? Every time
SCAMIZDAT is published it is like a stab in the heart for Scatatology.

Now that P'boy and Engram are on ice, what's next? They are much too quiet.
They are keeping us busy here on ars while planning something else. You
can be sure of that. Maybe they have purchased one of those old ICBM silos
in Kansas and are going to hunker down for the long haul?

I repeat, once a person reaches a certain level in Slimetology they are 
unreacheable by outside influences. It appears that force must be applied
to eradicate the sick part of the organization. Look how often in the
past it has claimed "reform" yet it plays the same old nasty games.

Even though it spouts "communication is the univeral answer", it is the
last to really communicate. If you were to look at the "Creed of the
Church of Scientology", you will find that it has become the exact
opposite of every ideal it claims to uphold. It is VERY wierd.

It considers itself above the law. You know this. You have seen it. By
failing to subscribe to fair play, decency and civilized behavior it
forfeits, in my eyes, the rights to the benefits of civilization. Don't
take this wrong, but apparently you have never had to deal with a truly
evil entity who enjoys, i.e., gets a BIG rush, crushing people under
its jack boots. Call Enid. Ask her about "fair play".

If you are going to do something about this situation, either do it ALL
THE WAY or don't bother. By "wounding" them, you only make them stronger
and strengthen their resolve. Those nuts need to be handled FOR GOOD.
Please put your efforts into organizing a class action lawsuit that will
finish Scientology, at least in its current monolithic form. If that's
not your calling, then so be it.

Defanged, perhaps, some of Scientology's nicer side will be able to 
show through.

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
