I heard a former scientologist explain that the upper income ones never see the seamy side of scientology, in which the lower strata of people are expected to work all the time and give all their money to the cult. She and her sister had joined in order to go to the so-called acting school. She escaped but her sister is too scared to leave.

yeah, I had a friend who got suckered into the 'acting class.' She got out fortunatly, but these malevolent creeps had her phone number and called her up for years after. I read a book by hubbard's estranged son who gave a good explaination of what a sham the whole thing is. One of they're earliest recruiting theories was that you had to find young people whose parents had recently died, then befriend them under false pretenses and then slowly start feeding them the space alien nonsense.
