After reading your L. Ron Hubbard quotes on marketing strategies, I can see why people in need of drug rehab wouldn't be among their target public. I've been concerned that at some point this woman or her son would become targets for some kind of conversion or money grabbing scheme. But, so far, the connection with scientology has never been mentioned, nor has it been covertly apparent. At least in the instance of the young man I referenced, the treatment was effective in the short term. Long term results remain to be seen.

Thanks for the info!

I have heard a rumor (unsubstantiated) that Scientology came about because Hubbard wasn't selling any Sci-Fi books. The rumor goes that he invented a religion because it was profitable and tax-exempt, and that he knew that if he were to start a religion that he'd sell more books. Does anybody have any verification of this rumor?
