Scientology's Common Sense Con/Sounds Like the Family

In an article titled, "Scientology reaches out and touches a nerve" in the St. Petersburg Times,
we find more cult shennanigans. Seems the cults like to ingratiate themselves by deception and "good" intentions into the good favors of unsuspecting, legitimate organizations.

Whodda Thunk it? I especially like their spokeswoman's defense that, "It is simply a common sense guide to morals...blah blah"

Now, we have whacked-out cultists teaching us what common sense morals are, something that, if they had, they would be common, normal, and moral like most folks--and not such freakin' f-ckwits."

excerpt:

"What bothered Carl Lavender, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast, was that the booklets bore the insignia of the Boys & Girls Clubs on the cover and directions on the back cover indicating that additional copies could be obtained at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast facilities next to Jack Russell Stadium in Clearwater. The booklet is a moral code written by Hubbard, creator of the Church of Scientology, and millions of copies have been distributed by church adherents worldwide.

The material may have been well-intentioned, Lavender said, "but I'm not pleased. You can't produce materials with our logo on it unless I give permission. We are going to collect all of them back and have them discarded."

Joanie Sigal of Clearwater Community Volunteers, the Scientology volunteer group, and a member of the Clearwater Boys & Girls Club's board of managers, originally proposed adding the logo and distributing the pamphlets. She said Thursday she doesn't know what the fuss is about.

"It is a common sense guide to morals," she said.
