Thanks to people like cerridwen, we've been able to keep up with what $cientology is telling their people about the "great work" that the Volunteer Ministers are doing at Ground Zero at the World Trade Center.
Thing is, what is being fed to those "on-lines" is a tissue of lies.
I have chatted today with a person who just spent a *very long* day at Ground Zero. This person's work involved going around to various positions at Ground Zero. While doing this, s/he made a point of looking around for the (allegedly ubiquitous) yellow shirts of the $cientology Volunteer Ministers. S/he saw none. S/he asked people involved with legitimate work at Ground Zero about the yellow shirts: not seen. In other words: the allegedly ubiquitous Volunteer Ministers giving touch assists and nerve assists at Ground Zero are *not there*. So much for the "one-third of the people at Ground Zero are Scientologists" lie.
$cientology is busy tooting its horn, but the emperor has no clothes.
While there were (until they got pulled off the web or passworded) a lot of pictures of Volunteer Ministers, please note that there are only a very small handful of those pictures that are actually at Ground Zero. From another source I learned that one being sent out today to those on-lines is that of a Volunteer Minister attempting to hand an orange to a fireman.
This picture has been out for a few weeks.
What I suspect is that the $cientology leadership have people out on the streets attempting to foist off copies of Hubbard's attempt to rewrite the Ten Commandments, giving "touch assists" to the unwary, and generally doing anything it can to improve its bottom line.
For shame, you liars!
