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'm sorry to hear that.  I hope that you can walk away and put the CoS 
behind you.

I've seen the name Tony Parker on many posts, most replying to the woodybot 
for some strange reason.  My killfile didn't catch them for some reason.

Who is "they"?  This is an open group with posting from both critics of
and apologists for the CoS.  Could you describe some of this
disinformation?  

Welcome to the group.  I hope you'll stay and relate your experiences 
with the CoS.
