"Going Clear" fallout: secretive damage-control by Scientology

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

4. If not a Scientologist than certainly an apologist.

And Scientology charges a lot of money because maintenance of the buildings is expensive.

Unless the religion actually requires them to have 'really expensive to maintain buildings' that's a totally bogus excuse for milking the suckers.

Edit: I retract my statement about apologist. The linked article currently does not actually include the line about building maintenance. I don't know if the author updated, or the line in the OP was supposed to be a paraphrase, but I don't feel the author deserves to be judged on something he's not actually saying.
