57 varieties of smell apparently. My question is - how did Heinz know?
From the article:
"Staying in the super powers suite, this is where parishioners will come to improve their "perceptics" – Hubbard's word for the senses, of which there are 57. The smells - listed in the drawing as "Magnolia", "Orange blossom", "Lily of the Valley" and "Fig" - are clearly tributes to Jo Malone and other expensive candle shops. But the tastes are from a greasy spoon: "cheddar cheese", "spaghetti bolognese", "sauerkraut and sausage". If this means anything to you, please share."
I guess many people have throught over the years: "I wonder if I could setup a religion? How mad could it be and still take off?"
Well it looks like L.Ron Hubbard answered that one for us.

Southern Baptist.
Oh yes! I guess I was one of those... for awhile, until my dad decided he was Methodist instead. I don't imagine anyone I was around referred to themselves that way, which is probably why I didn't recognize the reference

Apparently, a smell wall is what some groups make out of more money than they can handle.
Yet another cult complex.
Let's hope the FBI burns it down like the one in Waco.

How the fuck people fall for THAT is beyond me.
Desperation?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I have no use for scientology but I did work for a gentleman of that persuasion who had a couple of apartments he considered his humanitarian duty to clean, repair and paint whenever an apartment became vacant.
That does not mean all scientologists are that conscientious and it certainly doesn't abrogate the fact the "church" doesn't have a rather checkered past. (Hope there isn't some sort of double negative here).

I should know. I live here in Clearwater, Florida, not too far from downtown where they are located.
Only about 500K globally. There are 1 million Wiccans to get a sense of perspective.
