    67} The court considered whether the Church will have a significant decline in their market for potential recruits as a result of these postings. This can be viewed two different ways. First, the court must determine if RTC is effected because people will not pay for the courses that are offered by the Church when users of the Internet already have the writings which are supposed to only be available to the highest in the Church. Second, the court must determine if these postings will cause people not to join the Church as a result of the criticism and exposure to the nature of the practices of the Church of Scientology. The Church believes that many of the practices can not be understood until members reach certain levels in the Church. Since they are available on the Internet, then people may be "turned off" by certain practices because they lack knowledge and understanding.
