Study Tech debunkers will also want to see Chris's excellent essay on "Applied Scholastics and Scientology", available at:

http://studytech.org/asi.php

I imagine these web pages will be of great interest in St. Louis.

That's where Applied Scholastics recently opened its new worldwide headquarters, under the leadership of the famously unlucky Bennetta Slaughter, who seems to jump from one Scientology disaster to another.

See SlatkinFraud for a summary of Bennetta's career:

As Paul Harvey likes to say: "Now you know the REST of the story!"

And that's why Scientology hates the Internet.
