Yeah, that's totally different from other religions.
Haha. Scientology is a pretty scary organization, actually (moreso than most other religions, I think). While I totally agree that other religions have the "brainwashing" trait, the big problem with Scientology is that they actually
abuse their members. There are well known cases where they've killed their members for leaving them or not contributing all of their money. Either that, or they were sending them to Xenu!
I also understand they have tax exempt status and build giant mansions with their contributions, which is total bullshit.
