I imagine this is because they were afraid to have thier "religion" (and I use that term loosely) debated in public view.

Ok lets set a couple of things straight.
Scientology means scio-knowledge+ology-the study of. So the word, wait! wait! the word means 'the study of knowledge or knowing what you know'.
I don't think I have ever put a long drawn out answer.
When I see a question about Scientology I answer it, why? Because I am a Scientologist.
I have practiced Scientology for 7 years. Some of it is hard some of it is fun, but most of all I use the techniques in Scientology to improve my life and my worth to myself and others.
DId you have areal question for me?
Regards Michael"
Post the wacky messages that your scientology "friends" have sent you!.
I was going to post my responce, but yahoo answers doesn't seem to save it.
maybe we should create a "list" of all these whackjobs and get everyone on R&S to contact them telling them they should convert to ______ religion.
Imagine, christian, athiest, jew, muslim, midget, whatever. R&S doesn't agree on much- but It would be one thing we could agree on.
another tidbit of info from the loser:

Well if it is a fraud its a damn good one we are expanding and getting better at what we do in all areas.
I find it funny that there are over 3ooo books and lectures on dianetics and Scientology, but people keep quoting the same few lines. And those few lines are not even quoted in context.
I need not explain to you because you know what you think.
I don't know about you but I sure have said some dumb things in my life does that mean everything I say is dumb?
Good luck my friend. If you want a sane conversation on the subject feel free to ask me whatever on Scientology.
If you want to make everything wrong or just argue don't waste your or my time.
I trust you will find youe truth and survive better for it.
Regards Michael.
Response was basically: Its not my problem if your wallet is lighter.

I tell you what I am a lot smarter than that.
In the years I was on Staff at A Church I earnt the same if not more than when I wasn't.
Sure I worked harder and a damn sight smarter. From the Church I earnt about 0 a week for 55+ hours, lunch money basically.
I worked in the evening and earnt just as much as I did full time in previous years.
I havent been ripped off or seen anyone get ripped off. If I ever saw anything I disagreed with or felt was wrong I reported it.
The systems and checks within Scientology do not allow ripoffs. If you know of any actual reportable ripoffs report them to the appropriate terminals.
Regards Michael

I actually really know nothing about exnu.
I am much more interested in the parts of Scientology that work, like the Ethics tech, The Way to Happiness, Applied Scholastics and I really enjoy listening to the hundreds of lectures.
I like the fact Scientology has given more understanding of other people and myself. This gives me the ability to help more.

Point is that you are brainwashed and don't even know it. It might make you feel good about yourself but there is no response or excuse for the brainwashing that goes on or the "dissassociations" the "auditing" and the "secrecy".
The truth is that you don't know about xenu because you haven't paid enough money, when you d
