Protestant scientologists are legit a trip though. I think a lot of them were born into it. They just want to do their e-meter thing outside of the corruption of the Clearwater beauracracy.
That sounds pretty fascinating, I just assumed they would sue or firebomb any offshoots. Is it like the Mormons where like 99% are in the main group still?
Pretty much, I can't imagine there is more than 150 of them, tops. They were profiled in Reza Aslan's Believer series on CNN.
Googling the episode now turns up either scientology sockpuppets attacking the show for making a marginal group seem bigger than it is, or instead anti-scientologists attacking the show for having any sympathies at all for scientology. Kinda funny.
