Scientology has a chance to prove it's real stats by supplying the documented facts to the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches published yearly by the National Council of Churches. This is the only reference suggested by the US Census bureau for obtaining religious organization statistics.

I spoke with a gentleman at NCC who said that there is a section in the annual book for non-christian religions, which others, including Jews and Buddhists, have willingly submitted their DOCUMENTED facts.

I think this is why COS has not submittedd the information. 'Church ' of Scientology does not want to have to prove it's propagada.

I say we dare them to do so............

Here is the publication http://www.electronicchurch.org/
