 Re: References 

This article's references appear to be entirely bipolar.  The ""pro-Scientology"" links all lead back to the Church of Scientology or members of it, while the ""Con"" links lead to personal websites of self-proclaimed critics of the religion.  Are there any neutral sources available?  01:21, 10 January 2006 (EST)

It is hard to find a ""neutral"" reference about Scientology.  Anyone that has studied it seriously soon discovers that its a viscious cult and a global scam, and therefore their ""neutral"" report becomes a critical report.  There are sources in the media like Richard Lieby (now at the Wash Post) that have written numerous newspaper articles exposing the cult.  There has been an article in Time Magazine about the cult that was reprinted in Readers' Digest.  60 Minutes has done a couple of exposes on the cult as well, but none of these have been flattering for Scientology.   The task you are expecting is akin to asking someone looking into the pit of hell and write a neutral non-POV article about Satan incarnate.  Unfortunately, it just isn't possible.   

There is a page that purports to be a neutral resource at [Bernie's Scientology Pages], but even a cursory examination of his site shows that 99% of his words and pages are either criticizing critics of Scientology or making excuses for the Church of Scientology.  Most critics of Scientology believe that Bernie is in fact doing the work for the church.  "
