-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not entirely sure what these questions are actually asking. Some of them are so badly worded and the whole e-mail is terribly presented. Part of me wants to know what the Church Of Scientology think the correct answers to these questions are. I suspect if I answered them honestly they would regard me as not very bright. If there was a promise of feedback from this then I would fill it in but as there isn't it isn't worth responding. These people are notorious for hounding you until the end of the Earth, so it's not worth provoking them.
