Scientologists Drop Foley From Web Site
SCIENTOLOGISTS DROP FOLEY FROM WEB SITE

ReligionAndSpirituality.com
Scientologists have removed a photograph of former Florida Congressman Mark Foley from the Web site of its Flag Service Organization.
Foley recently quit after a number of e-mails and instant messages to minor boys working in Congress as pages, were made public. The content of those communications was sexual in nature.
A cached version of the Flag Service Organization page shows the Florida Republican accepting leather-bound copies of two books by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, said Radar Online.
Foley received the two books, "Dianetics" and "The Way to Happiness," during a brunch hosted by the Clearwater Business Association.
"The Flag Service Organization is a religious retreat for Scientologists, while the Clearwater Business Association appears to be a front group designed to give the church easier access to politicians," Radar Online wrote on its Web site.

1. Is Foley a Scientologist, or just a supporter?

I know somebody used a parody song for Foley last week, "He's got Scientology Eyes." Also, his rehab center is also apparently connected to Scientology.

2. I think he's been using them
about as much as they've been using him. He wants all the religious nuts he can get and they want all the official approval they can get.

It was a match made in hell.

5. Unfortunately I really don't care what Scientologists say or do
As long as they politely fuck off when they ask for a free stress test in their little recruitment schemes.

7. 'regression' probably attracted him
misunderstanding what it meant.
