church, and your position there?

have been disciplined by the church?

A Yes, I have talked to individuals who have been
disciplined by the organization.

Q Is there an understanding on how the law and
the court system is to be used by Scientology?

individuals, and if the individual doesn’t have money and
you really want to get somebody you can bankrupt somebody
in a court.

Q	Is that commonly done?
A	Yes, it is.
Q	What about the criminal law system?
A	Anything they have to do.
