Most people in Scientology are not celebrities anyway. It's the most diverse group of people you could imagine.

You are clearly a real contributor to society yourself. No armchair critic - your works are legion without a doubt. Forge ahead!

Yo obviously do have some bias in your diet. Forge ahead!

For someone new to the subject they can get both sides on the web. I have already gone over both sides and actually had the smarts to walk in into a church and find out what it really was all about. To me that qualifies a personal integrity - personal observation rather than riding a trend.
I would recommend that to…

You really are a spiritual being. Rejoice and take stock!

"Seems to be what's going on" is a nice nebulous operative term for I really don't know!

Best is to go to the Scientology website and look at the left menu.
Click on "Basic Principles of Scn". and "Dianetics, Introduction"
It's fairly straightforward but reading basic books is best.
I would read:
1. "Dianetics the Original Thesis"
2. "Dianetcs The Evolution of a Science"
Both in libraries and both fairly short.
