Scientology Gets its First Splinter-Sect
Freezone.
In a nutshell, this is a group that says that Hubbard's vision has been lost in the Church of Scientology. They call the CoS a bunch of mean and true things, and then say that they want to start an alternative to the CoS that actually sticks to Hubbard's wishes. For those that don't know, the Church of Scientology is essentially the mafia, now. Well, that would be true, if the mafia were unbelievably creepy, as well as violent and sociopathic.
Could be an attempt at subversive humor, or just a plain old prank, but it would be interesting if it were real. There's nothing inherently violent about Hubbard's Dianetics. Could a more "fundamentalist" Scientology, divorced from the corruption of the current CoS heads, actually end up being a harmlessly kooky cult, or is it doomed to sink into the same crap the Church has gotten into?
