Hi folks, been busy and haven't been reading a.r.s. lately.  But have seen
several references to Scientology in the press, mostly small mentions along
the lines of 'dodgy personality test' etc.  Read a reference to the young
kids (eg 6 years old) the Scn is using to hand out Scn leaflets here in
Sydney (and yes I've seen them passing out leaflets - appalling!)  Also the
Scientology webpage http://community.volunteerministers.org/page05.htm has
this comment: "Volunteer Ministers also work closely with ministers of
other denominations. In Sydney, Australia, Volunteer Ministers work hand in
hand with the Salvation Army in local drives for food, clothing and toys."
I emailed the Salvos about this and got the following reply, which speaks
for itself:    (Cheers folks, please also email any replies....)
