But doesn't the church of scientology prefer people who are financially viable? Not those refusing to pay 5 a month for the host they claimed to love when she was on the air?
Well yes, they prefer the wealthier vulnerable, but they are also quite happy to take in those who have no resources. They can then make them totally dependent on the Scientology organization for their very food and shelter, and get them to do tons of scut work and physical labor in maintaining the organization's buildings and serve the higher-ups. Different victimization plan, same brainwashing techniques, same destructive results, imho.
