OK, I might be wrong. But growing up in Shreveport, I remember a Scientology "church" close to the intersection of Kings Hwy and Centenary. That intersection was once Ashley's Amoco gas station and just north of the intesection was this big brick building. To this day, I still don't get "scientology". Sometimes it doesn't sound like "science" at all.

They can believe that if they like it is freedom of speech. I do not agree at all but let them have their click it keeps them away from me and that is just fine with me. I did think the post Joe made was good but once again is that what they really think ? If so well not for me. Maybe they have fried some cells in their time.

Are you sure you're not confusing Scientology with Christian Scientists?

Probably... thanks for pointing that out. I guess I can google up what each one represents. But as I recall, isn't it the Christian Scientists who don't believe in going to the doctor? That only Christ/God can heal them? Or something like that? I really should read google then type before showing off even more of my ignorance on these subjects.

Rhertz, it's the Jehovah's Witness group that won't take blood products. They will see a doctor but if they develop an illness or have a surgery that their hemoglobin (red blood cells) count drops low and they need blood, it won't happen no matter what. They will die before they will take the blood. It is very sad and tragic to watch when it happens.

Jehovah's witnesses will take some blood products (surprisingly) but not red blood cells. From the scientiologists I've talked with, my understanding is that they won't receive immunizations or medical care. The lack of immunization contradicts public school policy. Which brings up the topic of public school and religion. Is it beyond the rights of government to require immunizations that will prevent disease against the beliefs of some religious doctrines or ban the headwear of Muslim students?
