I admit that I have read with amusement stories about Scientology “Celebrities” Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kirsty Allie, Katie Holmes, Jenna Elfman, etc. and have been entertained by the snarky comments about them. But, over the past few weeks, as I have learned more about what Scientology leaders have done and how they conduct business it has become less of a joke. Now I view these Scientology “Celebrities” as glossy distraction mere distraction for the masses and media. We are looking at and discussing them instead of what we should really be seeing about Scientology. It is Scientology’s version of “Sleight of Hand.”

Sleight of hand depends on the use of psychology and misdirection in accomplishing a desired effect. Misdirection is perhaps the most important component of the art of sleight of hand. Scientology choreographs their actions so that even the critical and observant spectators are likely to look where Scientology wants them to. (More importantly, they do not look where they should not.)

Seek the information that Scientology does not want you to know. It is out there. It is no joking matter. Make up your own mind.
