He was a scared little boy who wanted to be worshiped. People like him flock to Scientology. <br /><br />I still can't believe even though there are voice recordings of him saying "I will create a sci fi religion and make so much money!" (I am paraphrasing but it is out there). He was into some crazy black magik shit at the time.

I'm sure there were a lot of WTF faces across the country. I went to a party two years ago & their house was right behind our Scientology center in STL. I did not stay long- the building literally loomed over the property with windows in direct line with the upper floors of the center. Plus someone died in the house and I was sad being there. Anyway, I've often wanted to visit the center just to check it out ( I love the historic building its in) but I'm too chickenshit.
