The doctrine itself is not that strange, it's just uncommon. Seriously, think about the creation stories of other religions or just some story in general.

It's sort of amusing that they deny it, yet claim the handwritten OT VII account is copyright.

You do have to wonder about the way they deal with SPs and the fair game doctrine. Then the whole issue of infiltrating the IRS. Oh, and the cost to move up in ranks is horrible. The Sea Org seams a bit questionable. Very little health care, low pay, very few days off. Then the psychology and psychiatry hatred just seems a little bit overkill.

Freezone it. Granted, some freezoners aren't exactly nice, but then any parting from the main church will give mix results. Not all Christian churches that are nondenominational are good.
