lol! Nate, I know next to nothing about Scientology, but watching the videos confirmed to me that it is based upon pseudo-science. At least the visible propaganda is based upon many false premises. Kind of like good fiction. It helps if you can suspend your disbelief. The overall tone appears to be quite positive. But the same could be said for JW's and LDS's. Nevertheless, I'm sure the leadership has a firm grasp of the psychology needed to separate money from members.
