Lolo - as a long-time Portland-area Scientologist (presently displaced to Washington, DC, but soon to be back), I - like many others - don't like to see my friends lied about in the media, nor badmouthed without some mention of setting the record straight.  

Like so many other people who actually like their church that they go to, and actually like the solace and friendship one can acquire by having friends who actually care about you, I do feel passionate about making sure that it's portrayed properly.  

So no, nobody pays me to add my two cents worth.  See this for what I actually think about Scientology.

The Founding Church of Scientology opened its doors in Washington, DC in July of 1955, though earlier Dianetics Foundations  were around previously.   Video describing such.
