Disconnection

 * Mr. Davis, the church’s current spokesman, said Scientologists are no different from Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Amish who practice shunning or excommunication. "These are common religious tenets," he said. "The very survival of a religion is contingent on its protecting itself."

Freeloader Debt

 * "We actually don’t bill anybody when they leave um the only circumstances under which somebody might have an obligation for which they’re responsible for after they leave the Sea Organisation is if there was something for which there was inadequate exchange as a result of what they received. Let’s say if it was professional training or something by which they could derive income and that it actually cost the church money to train them to do that, that might be a circumstance by which you know there would be an obligation of the church to see to it that there’s some sort of appropriate exchange but I couldn’t, yeah that would sort of be the simplest way to answer that."
