“If you attended a fashion show that raised money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Clearwater last week, you may have found L. Ron Hubbard’s “Way to Happiness” booklet in your goodie bag.”

" What bothered Carl Lavender, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast, was that the booklets bore the insignia of the Boys & Girls Clubs on the cover and directions on the back cover indicating that additional copies could be obtained at the Boys & Girls Clubs…"

What really bothered me was the following:
"…numerous organizations not related to Scientology already distribute the pamphlet and put their logos on the front, including other religious organizations, several chapters of the NAACP and the Hollywood division of the Los Angeles Police Department."

I know that Scientologists are very prominent in Hollywood, but doesn’t this violate Church and State? Would the LAPD distribute Catholic moral codes with an LAPD logo? I think the ACLU would be on that like white on rice.
 
Their most clever ploy is to set up pagodas inside shopping malls, selling the book Dianetics and offering free “Stress Analysis”.
