My brother, MENSA guy and millionaire (or, at least, was) is a 30 yr vet of the org. Smart guy...(maybe too smart?)
Anyway, the Commission on Human Rights was very helpful to me during my fight with the public school that was attempting to Ritalinize my kid. They provided me lots of serious research and good advice with no obligation upon me. They really do care about the psyhciatric tyranny in law, and don't seem to be whacked at all: "absolutist".
I don't care much for the religious aspect of Scientology, but they are doing some good, important work.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. L.Ron Hubbard, the founder, considered himself a disciple of Alastair Crowely, a renowned "warlock" and practitioner of Satan worship, black magic, and admitted pederast (sex with boys...). Someone more demonic and repellent can't be imagined. I have a friend whose parents were Scientologist and it is an evil cult, no doubt about it.
