The latest setback to Scientology that is being reported in the legitimate press is about the ongoing FBI probe into the Sea Organization. Kids who are second generation Scientologists sign contracts with the consent of their Scientologist parents to work for the Sea Organization essentially for eternity at ridiculously low wages.
Scientologists consider it a great honor. The FBI thinks it looks more like slavery and kidnapping.
Of course, the Star only cares about this story because it could devastate the marriage of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, what with him being all gung ho and her being new to all this nonsense.
It you want to read a long, well-written piece on Scientology with discussions with people who have recently left the church, this piece in The New Yorker is an excellent place to start.
But if you want to read long well written pieces, what are you doing here?
