St Petersburg Times takes on Scientology

Juicy stuff from a mainstream newspaper coming out and hitting Scientology hard: this week and over the next few days, they're publishing a special report on Scientology.

I'm sure there are meetings going on in Clearwater right now where they're plotting revenge.
