Just a heads-up for anyone investigating $cientology. I was once a staff member and one of the most awful things I remember was how we were always running out of toilet paper in the "org" (cult slang for organization, which is generally lacking except in attacking critics). People had to wipe their dirty butts with newspaper, magazines or whatever they could find in the bathrooms.

Later when I was a student at various orgs like "Celebrity Centre" it was often the case that they ran out of toilet paper. It may still be that way for all I know - enter $cientology bathrooms at your own risk.

Perhaps this is because cult members drink so much coffee or practice terrible nutrition, or perhaps there is something about the actual practice of $cientology that gives people diarrhea, I don't know. I do remember spending a lot of time on the toilet which I was involved.

Once in staff housing a toilet stopped up and wasn't fixed for a couple of weeks. Since there were only two toilets in a big two-story house and people had to go, the thing just piled up and stank. It was awful, but I saw many things like that during my time on staff.

It's pretty clear to anyone who knows anything about Hubbard that he had verbal diarrhea. It's only karmically appropriate that a physical equivalent shows up around his "orgs."

So while $cientology might look attractive on the outside, once you have to go potty you may be putting your health in jeopardy. $cientology could give you the shits, so be wary. And be sure to take along your own supply of toilet paper, just in case.
