Norman Starkey:
Well, you're speaking of him, of course, as the founder of Scientology, but people have been fond of Ron for many other reasons.
|
|
Norman Starkey:
He donated his entire estate to the religion of Scientology, so it would always be here for the benefit of *all* mankind. *That's* how much he cared.
|
|
Kirstie Alley:
[identified only as "Actress"] To tell you the honest-to-god truth, without Scientology, I would be dead. So, I can personally, highly recommend it.

|
LRH Communicator:
Ron gave the copyrights of all his writings to a special church of Scientology, to guarantee that the materials of Dianetics and Scientology would never be exploited by any one individual, but are available for the benefit of all.

Academy Supervisor:
By the way, have you told them about the films?

Himself - Host:
Now, you may have some questions concerning the validity and integrity of the organization. Well, no less than the Internal Revenue Service of the United States government conducted a review of Scientology. The most thorough investigation of any church in its history. Over a period of many years, they examined millions of pages of church documents, and financial records. They studied every aspect of the religion, and its corporate and ecclesiastical structure. And their findings? The IRS determined that Scientology *is* a bona fide religion. That the churches of Scientology, and their related social betterment organizations, operate *exclusively* for religious, charitable, and educational purposes. That they benefit the *public*, rather than the interests of private individuals. And that no part of their income goes to the benefit of any individual or noncharitable entity. It is likely that Scientology was scrutinized more deeply than any other church in history. And it passed that review with flying colors, gaining full religious and charitable recognition. In doing so, the IRS granted the church, and all its affiliated organizations, full tax exemption. In fact, you'll be happy to know, even your donations are tax deductible. Just like every religion. Now that you know the factual and legal standing of the church, you may well ask the question, "What are the advantages of Dianetics and Scientology for me?" So, let's ask some people.
