	About the Church of Scientology® Its symbols, history, belief and practices

		Scientology is different — it believes in increasing the ability and intelligence of the individual so he or she can improve his own life, overcome those factors that hold him down, and solve his or her own problems.
		With the act of exteriorization, attainable in Scientology, the individual gains the certainty that he is himself, an immortal spiritual being, and not a body.

	Scientology's Abusive Release Forms
		In November 2002, the ever-paranoid Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization issued a new set of legal release forms that people are required to sign before they can receive "services" from the church.
		The most significant factor I can find on this form is the agreement that all churches of Scientology are independent of each other and individually responsible for their actions.
		This is what will allow Scientology to gut a local church of resources if it gets sued (as they did with the Church of Scientology of California after Wollersheim sued them), and preclude the plaintiff from filing suit against any other tentacles of the Scientology octopus.
