This just sounds like a typical burnout letter. At the worst of times, I could have written the same thing about the Marines or Ernst & Young. I’m sure many could do a global search and replace on this article with the names of their least favorite church or political group that they experienced.

Just what I thought about it. Sour grapes syndrome. Someone's not getting their ego stroked in L. Ron Land.

What you say is true, but that doesn't mean his complaints about Scientology aren't valid. I live in Los Angeles, where Scientology is BIG. I know many Scientologists, including a few very high up in the ranks, and I've read extensively about Scientology. In my opinion, 10% of what Scientology offers -- a fresh start, freedom from the victim mentality -- can be found in the best self-help books. The rest of Scientology is bunk. And although this poster is an ordained minister -- I actually may know the man through friends -- most people are beguiled away from any traditional religion by Scientology.
