I had a brush with scientology once. I did one of their personality tests 
the results of which indicated I was really messed up. They spent alot of time 
telling me about my faults and how I was going nowhere fast and generally 
making me feel very miserable about myself (especially as I thought I was 
a well rounded person). Then came the hard sell, for a price they would 
allow me to participate in a course which would make me better. A friend 
who took the same test with me was given almost word for word the same 
drill and when we spoke about it we decided it was a farce. We sent other 
friends to do the test with them and all of them got exactly the same 
results, they were basically messed up and should do a course! My 
conclusion is that the CoS is a profit organisation posing as a religion.
