Dcottle561's changes
is making some radical changes to this article. I think some of the information is good, but most of it is very pro-Scientology. I'm considering reverting some of the edits. I'm especially bothered by the removal of the existing introduction. --Davidstrauss 22:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I just reverted to an earlier version of Dcottle561's changes. The original introductory paragraph is preserved.

HCO PL 1 Sept 62 Healing Promotion
This policy letter is vastly misquoted in the article. Stated at this time in the article appears:
 * "We have resolved healing.... This program has the following thought major:" The "...." leaves out two paragraphs which spell out specifically what is meant by "We have resolved healing" and it does not mean nor even imply what the next sentences say, as they appear in the article.  To preserve the meaning of the Policy Letter quoted, the first piece of sentence should come out.  "We have resovled healing" should not be in the article unless an explanation of what is meant by that is in the article.  Terryeo 09:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Body Thetans
Completely silly, people. The Church has not published anything about body thetans. The Church has not published a definition of the term. The Church has not published that they treat them, whatever they are. The Church has made no claim about them. But the first sentence states the Church treats them. That is simply original research, unsourced original research. And immediately the article present about 1950. It is going to confuse a reader to find himself reading about the Dianetics claims and Dianetics theory while his nose is rubbed in words like thetan, completely unknown in Dianetics.

 * Fortunately, the reader can simply click on the link to the Body Thetan article, which explains, with sources, why everything you just stated is a lie. wikipediatrix 13:32, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Church of Scientology document (2004): medical claims
Using Dr. Touretzky document at Tampa Org: Scientology Promo Flyer, I made a composite image that outlines a specific passage about Scientology being a science that can precisely determine and alleviate physical illnesses. Could this fair use excerpt from a contemporary CoS document be used in this specific article? Raymond Hill 17:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
