"Hey lovers!" It was Shari! Shari was Chance's nanny, her replacement mom. Chance's real mom, a famous fashion designer and neurosurgeon, was hardly ever around.

Heh. Chance. Such a perfect name for such a perfect girl. I'd taken a chance falling in love with her… now I just hoped she'd take a chance on me.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

Her finely tapered triple D sized breasts bobbed bashfully within her silky fuchsia kimono. They had an undulating quality, vibrating in perfect unison with the music of the club. She was providing the music, her amazing voice filling the bar with her amazing voice, as God filled the Earth with water to kill the sinners and the dinosaurs. She was killing me like a good American, that was for gosh-fucking sure. And by killing, I mean boner. Boner is slang for erection where I come from. Hehehe, cum. Cum is a colloquial term for semen in much of the English speaking world, a term propagated by the growing pornographic industry over the Internet.

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

By the looks of it, Chance had recently gotten a haircut. We talked about it as we picked up the limp bodies of the white belts (don't worry, they will be okay eventually). She wanted to get a haircut so that she could look like Surie Cruise, Tom Cruise's wife. Surie and Tom are in the middle of a terrible divorce. I've heard that it is because of Scientology that that is the reason why that they are getting divorced that. Scientology is abody of beliefs and related practicescreated byL. Ron Hubbard(1911–1986), starting in 1952, as a successor to his earlierself-helpsystem,Dianetics.Hubbard characterized Scientology as areligion, and in 1953 incorporated theChurch of ScientologyinCamden, New Jersey.

Scientology teaches that people areimmortal beingswho have forgotten their true nature.Its method of spiritualrehabilitationis a type of counselling known asauditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects.Study materials and auditing courses are made available to members in return for specified donations.Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States and some other countries,and the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a bona fide religion.In other countries, notably Canada,France,Germany, and theUnited Kingdom, Scientology does not have comparable religious status.

A large number of organizations overseeing the application of Scientology have been established,the most notable of these being the Church of Scientology. Scientology sponsors a variety of social-service programs. These include theNarcononanti-drug program, theCriminonprison rehabilitation program, the Study Techeducation methodology, avolunteer organization,a business-management method, and a set of moral guidelines expressed in a booklet calledThe Way to Happiness.

The Church of Scientology is one of the most controversialnew religious movementsto have arisen in the 20th century. It has often been described as acultthat financially defrauds and abuses its members, charging exorbitant fees for its spiritual services.The Church of Scientology has consistently usedlitigation against such critics, and its aggressiveness in pursuing its foes has been condemned as harassment. Further controversy has focused on Scientology's belief that souls ("thetans")reincarnateand have lived on other planets before living on Earth,and that some of the related teachings are not revealed to practitioners until they have paid thousands of dollars to the Church of Scientology.Another controversial belief held by Scientologists is that the practice ofpsychiatryisdestructive and abusiveand must be abolished.

Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Shari was almost as hot as Chanthalia. Her finely tapered triple D sized breasts bobbed bashfully within her silky fuchsia kimono. They had an undulating quality, vibrating in perfect unison with the music of the club. She was providing the music, her amazing voice filling the bar with her amazing voice, as God filled the Earth with water to kill the sinners and the dinosaurs. She was killing me like a good American, that was for gosh-fucking sure. And by killing, I mean boner. Boner is slang for erection where I come from. Hehehe, cum. Cum is a colloquial term for semen in much of the English speaking world, a term propagated by the growing pornographic industry over the Internet.

In 1952, Hubbard built on the existing framework set forth inDianetics, and published a new set of teachings asScientology, a religious philosophy.In December 1953, Hubbard incorporated three churches – a "Church of American Science", a "Church of Scientology" and a "Church of Spiritual Engineering" – inCamden, New Jersey.On February 18, 1954, with Hubbard's blessing, some of his followers set up the first local Church of Scientology, the Church of Scientology of California, adopting the "aims, purposes, principles and creed of the Church of American Science, as founded by L. Ron Hubbard."The movement spread quickly through the United States and to other English-speaking countries such as Britain, Ireland, South Africa and Australia.The second local Church of Scientology to be set up, after the one in California, was inAuckland, New Zealand.In 1955, Hubbard established theFounding Church of ScientologyinWashington, D.C.In 1957, the Church of Scientology of California was granted tax-exempt status by the United StatesInternal Revenue Service(IRS), and so, for a time, were other local churches.In 1958 however, the IRS started a review of the appropriateness of this status. In 1959, Hubbard moved to England, remaining there until the mid-1960s.

The Church experienced further challenges. The United StatesFood and Drug Administration(FDA) began an investigation concerning the claims the Church of Scientology made in connection with its E-meters.On January 4, 1963, they raided offices of the Church of Scientology and seized hundreds of E-meters as illegal medical devices. The devices have since been required to carry a disclaimer saying that they are a purely religious artifact.

In the mid-sixties, the Church of Scientology was banned in several Australian states, starting withVictoriain 1965.[54]The ban was based on theAnderson Report, which found that the auditing process involved "command" hypnosis, in which the hypnotist assumes "positive authoritative control" over the patient. On this point the report stated,

It is the firm conclusion of this Board that most scientology and dianetic techniques are those of authoritative hypnosis and as such are dangerous ... the scientific evidence which the Board heard from several expert witnesses of the highest repute ... leads to the inescapable conclusion that it is only in name that there is any difference between authoritative hypnosis and most of the techniques of scientology. Many scientology techniques are in fact hypnotic techniques, and Hubbard has not changed their nature by changing their names.[55]

The Australian Church was forced to operate under the name of the "Church of the New Faith" as a result, the name and practice of Scientology having become illegal in the relevant states.[54]Several years of court proceedings aimed at overturning the ban followed.[54]

In the course of developing Scientology, Hubbard presented rapidly changing teachings that were often self-contradictory.[56][57]For the inner cadre of Scientologists in that period, involvement depended not so much on belief in a particular doctrine but on unquestioning faith in Hubbard.[56]In 1966, Hubbard stepped down as executive director of Scientology to devote himself to research and writing.[41][58]The following year, he formed the Sea Organization orSea Org, which was to develop into an elite group within Scientology.[41][59]The Sea Org was based on three ships, theDiana, theAthena, and theApollo, which served as the flag ship.[59]One month after the establishment of the Sea Org, Hubbard announced that he had made a breakthrough discovery, the result of which were the "OT III" materials purporting to provide a method for overcoming factors inhibiting spiritual progress.[59]These materials were first disseminated on the ships, and then propagated by Sea Org members reassigned to staff Advanced Organizations on land.[59]

In 1967, the IRS removed Scientology's tax-exempt status, asserting that its activities were commercial and operated for the benefit of Hubbard, rather than for charitable or religious purposes.[52]The decision resulted in a process of litigation that would be settled in the Church's favour a quarter of a century later, the longest case of litigation in IRS history.[42]

In 1979, as a result of FBI raids duringOperation Snow White, eleven senior people in the church's Guardian's Office were convicted of obstructing justice, burglary of government offices, and theft of documents and government property. In 1981, Scientology took the German government to court for the first time.[60]

On January 1, 1982, Scientology established theReligious Technology Center(RTC) to oversee and ensure the standard application of Scientology technology.[61]

On November 11, 1982, theFree Zonewas established by former top Scientologists in disagreement with RTC.[62]The Free Zone Association was founded and registered under the laws of Germany, and believes that the Church of Scientology has departed from its original philosophy.[63]

In 1983, in a unanimous decision, theHigh Court of Australiarecognized Scientology as a religion in Australia, overturning restrictions that had limited activities of the church after the Anderson Report.[64]

On January 24, 1986, L. Ron Hubbard died at his ranch nearSan Luis Obispo, California, andDavid Miscavigebecame the head of the organization.

Starting in 1991, persons connected with Scientology filed fifty lawsuits against theCult Awareness Network(CAN), a group that had been critical of Scientology.[65]Although many of the suits were dismissed, one of the suits filed against the Cult Awareness Network resulted in $2 million in losses for the network.[65]Consequently, the organization was forced to go bankrupt.[65]In 1996, Steven L. Hayes, a Scientologist, purchased the bankrupt Cult Awareness Network's logo and appurtenances.[65][66]A new Cult Awareness Network was set up with Scientology backing, which operates as an information and networking center for non-traditional religions, referring callers to academics and other experts.[67][68]

In a 1993 U.S. lawsuit brought by the Church of Scientology against Steven Fishman, a former member of the Church,Fishman made a court declarationwhich included several dozen pages of formerly secretesotericadetailing aspects of Scientologistcosmogony.[69]As a result of the litigation, this material, normally strictly safeguarded and only used in Scientology's more advanced "OT levels", found its way onto the Internet.[69]This resulted in a battle between the Church of Scientology and its online critics over the right to disclose this material, or safeguard its confidentiality.[69]The Church of Scientology was forced to issue a press release acknowledging the existence of this cosmogony, rather than allow its critics "to distort and misuse this information for their own purposes."[69]Even so, the material, notably the story ofXenu, has since been widely disseminated and used to caricature Scientology, despite the Church's vigorous program of copyright litigation.[69]

You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cos I love you so

Scientology literature states that L. Ron Hubbard demonstrated his professional expertise in hypnosis by "discovering" the Dianetic engram. Hubbard was said to be an accomplished hypnotist, and close acquaintances such as Forrest Ackerman (Hubbard's literary agent) and A. E. van Vogt (an early supporter of Dianetics) witnessed repeated demonstrations of his hypnotic skills.
