lol, no wonder Mikel keeps saying his job is cut out for him. He is Southern Baptist. I am going to have to find out about Scientology. It has been coming up in conversations a lot lately.
My Uncle use to have a hearing aid store at Countryside Mall, but moved it out of that Mall when they were redoing it. It is still called Countryside Hearing something or the other.
The Fowler family is well represented in the area - even a street named after an uncle. The Frey side hasn't made their mark yet unless Uncle Bob has been elected mayor and that wouldn't surprise me in the least!!!!
My older brother lives by the former countryside mall. They changed it to the Shoppington Mall which sounds so Springfield ala The Simpsons. I used to work there at a now defunct dept. store.
Yes, scientology is what incredibly wealthy celebs do with their money. Beyond that, I'd suggest a google search and you'll get their detractors and probably some sales pitches. It's just positive thinking that they morphed into a religion to avoid paying taxes.
Their founder was a science fiction writer and has been dead forever. That sci-fi movie Travolta produced and starred in was written by the founder of Scientology. The movie totally bombed at the box office.
