If they could do that, they would've already. The Church of Scientology is certainly not going to pass up on a free million dollars.
Not to mention the publicity. Unfortunately, no one has come forward in so long, they've decided to invest the cash in higher yield investments and close the contest. |

Not really surprising, but definitely illuminating.
I wonder if we'll ever see the truth about scientology.

How many years until L Ron Seldon comes out of the vault to give us an update?

Sir, as an Asimov fan, I am gravely offended by your joke. Offended, I say.

Holy Christ, I'm too scared to click on that video. The image of that man's face alone screams "pure, unadulterated evil."

I like the part where Scientology is a religion because of IRS budgetary concerns.

This is odd simply because I was looking at this thread yesterday while browsing back a couple pages. This was the one thread I happened to stop on and re-read and now it's been necroed. Creeeeepppyyy.

Read that article, it is really the first big story on this I have read ever as I could always tell that the Scientology crowd were a bunch of kooks since as far back as I can remember. The final quote really fits though, especially when you take the words of a lot of the scientologists still involved in the church earlier into consideration.

'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

Interesting article, even if a lot of it feels like more of the same. I do remain staggered by the readiness of people to subscribe to Scientology.

The article contains a lot of the behavior that led me to support the anti-Sci protests. That whole, 'witness says A, Scientology says B and that witness is an evil pedophile, independent evidence supports A, Scientology has no proof of anything but still keeps claiming B regardless' attitude really sets my teeth on edge.
But I had to smile when I saw that the FBI's nosing around. I can only hope that some of the things that came to light in the increased scrutiny after the protests began are helping the feds build a case.
