scientology

[Linda Highland]

I worked for a small business that was run by scientologists in 1986-7.
The first boss didn't make a big deal about it, but after he went to the
great scientology ship in Florida (somewhere yopu pay a lot of money,
take classes, get higher into the organization, etc...)the new guy was
too much.  Scientology has its own series of business books and it's
system  drove our bookkeeper nuts.....and when I decided to get out
while the getting was good I was told that I must "feel guilty" about
"bad thoughts" I had about the organization and I was expected to write
a list of anything "bad" I had thought about them.  Obviously, I
refused.  They also have there own dictionary, which defines things very
much in accordance with the believes of Scientology. 
They also didn't pay or report taxes there because of some scientology
anti-tax beef, but I think they were finally caught on that....
