Scientology's San Francisco Office Going Out of Business
The Scientology organization's San Francisco branch will be going out of business on February 1.
The
Church of Scientology in San Francisco regrets to announce that it will
be going out of business as of Sunday, February 1. Jeff Quiros, CEO of
the Scientology organization's San Francisco branch, says that a sharp
decline in book sales, coupled with a sharp increase in negative
publicity over the past year, has made it impossible to sustain
operations. "We're just not getting the "bodies in the shop" that we
used to have," Quiros remarked. "Our "stress test" tables in the BART
stations are generating far fewer recruits than they were at this time
last year." Quiros went on to suggest that the nation's economic crisis
hasn't helped matters. "People don't seem to understand that we have a
variety of financing plans, so that every family can fit the
Scientology religion into its budget. We had hoped that more San
Francisco Bay Area people would be willing to make this investment into
their next trillions of years, but I guess this town doesn't know a
good thing when it sees it. Why wouldn't a person want to be part of
Scientology's tremendous worldwide expansion? The only possible answer
is that such a person has many horrible crimes and evil purposes that
he wants to conceal."

Also, the super-secret doctrine of the Church revolves around a space-alien overlord named Xenu. It's really funny and South Park did an episode on it which you can watch online. Or just search Xenu on YouTube.
