Scientology's Reed Slatkin

I doubted this until last night when I called Earthlink.

The customer service rep I talked to went ape shit for lack of a better term.

I hadn't given Scientology much thought except to kind of chuckle when John Travolta and Battlefield Earth was brought up I had lived next door to a family that went through hell getting away from what I guess has to be thought of as a cult.

Here is the original note I posted both at a Earthlink group and to alt.religion.scientology, a group that Earthlink software, that crap that includes POET or whatever it is these days, blocks when supplied to members of the so called church. You have to wonder about a provider that so easly provides software designed to limit the access of it's members on request of a "religion". I doubt even the Mormons are that extreme.

I was used Primenet for 8 years, a long time by internet standards. But there is no way I want even a chance that a bunch like Scientology is watching what I do or using info from my IP to try and recrute my children.

Last night I called Earthlink to ask about this and ended up canceling my account after the customer service rep began asking the following questions:

1. Who told me about the link ?
2. Which web sites I had looked at ?
3. How did I find out that Earthlink supplies specials versions of browsers
to Scientology members that block non approved or sites like
http://www.clambake.com.

Funny who is the paranoid in this?

Well all these things are not that hard to find out and I have had a neighbor that was a Scientologist and the only internet provider his family was allowed by the church to use was first Earthlink.

Paranoid ? Well maybe yes. I watched what my neighbor went through when he tried to leave Scientology. Nothing like what happens if you just decide to stop going to Mass believe me.
