spreading the word and spreading the pox......old missionary technique

Where's your Messiah now?

There will be a movie about this in ten years with a washed up Travolta.

but wouldn't Thetans be immune to Wordly disease? Oh well, back to the e-meter!!!

Trust in *our* god to protect you...err, normal service will resume... sometime

When devotees can afford a cruise on a ship this has to be proof positive that Scientology is a business not a religion. Think of the good work the Salvation Army could do if they had the money that was spent on this cruise!

A problem to be sure but it is sadly less damaging and infectious than the derangement of the cultists onboard.

I mean, I don't wish disease on anyone, but...

Ummmm, not measles - neanderthalic lunacy more like it.
