There's a huge anti-scientology movement on the web. If half of the stories are true, it's a really scary religion. I looked into it a bit when my friend was trying to get out of her marraige. There are stories of the Church going after people who left it and talked about it. They sue people all the time for revealing its material and texts. Basically, to move on to the next level of enlightenment, you have to pay to take their special courses.
Operation Clam Bake is the most comprehensive anti-scientology site out there. It's sort of fascinating to read about.

I blame you for my inability to think today... I stayed up until 1:30 reading that site last night.
I also blame you for destroying my last shred of hope that humans are not imbeciles at their cores.
I now have officially no hope at all for mankind.
