Some leaked documents from the Church of Scientology reveal their priorities — these are papers they require new staffers to sign, and there is no way anyone in their right mind would sign them. The gist is that they want your promise that you are financially solvent, so that nothing can cause you to pull back from your "commitment to the church", and then there are a whole lot of threatening agreements: you'll have to pay a 'penance' to the church if you leave, you can never, ever sue or hold the church liable for anything, and the church is not under any circumstances obligated to fulfill anything they ever promise.
It's amazing stuff, but I have to give the scientologists credit for at least being honest with their acolytes.
