Either or you know the gist of their teachings?
My oldest sister (a beautiful, brilliant, and successful businesswoman) is a Scientologist. About 20 years ago, she met another Scientologist who recommended cleansing her body of the nasty chemicals accumulated within. For several weeks she was given large doses of niacin and took hour long steam baths every day. Someone was literally selling her on joining the cult during these sessions. She's been hooked ever since.
All her considerable earnings go to Scientology, her four daughters went to Scientology schools, married Scientologists and work in their Los Angeles complex. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say she's spent at least a half a million dollars to finally discover the "secret of life" Scientology style (To think, I found it out for free, here on Free Republic):
Her body is inhabited by the wandering souls of previously nuked space aliens, but she will one day be saved when Xenu (their God, I believe) is freed from his electronic mountain trap and order is restored to the Galactic Confederation, (an alliance of 76 planets founded 95 million years ago).
I kid you not.
Well, it's not something savvy insiders would normally emphasize.
Van Susteren and Coale are Scientologists. But unlike members of established religions, whose own beliefs might seem improbable if they weren't so widely held, these part-time Clearwater residents are not exactly eager to draw attention to this fact.
