It's become hard for those not familiar with the subject to learn about what's good in Scientology, because of all the noise generated by that hate group Anonymous, and their declared war against the church. There's nothing they wouldn't distort for the worse.

I was in Scientology for many years. It's possible to apply the subject with good intentions, and have the result be betterment.

The official church itself is pretty much a lost cause, IMO.

YES Myplanet!
Unfortunately, the church did themselves in because when they get these people 'off the street' who are not familiar with anything in the writings, they don't make the effort to get them up to snuff. If they 'cleared' those who were interested in becoming a staff member, they would have sooooo many like-minded interested people that I might even consider going back.
They are so concerned with policy and hatting that they forget that there are people out there that could really truly use it. They dropped the ball big time.
