      Although you do realize that technically, if their new versions are not patented then they are considered trade secrets right? If you can get your hands on one and patent it then you have a decent pathway to sue the Church of Scientology for patent infringement.

      That would be a fun one to work out

        Sure, and then they either disappear you, or you have an “accident”. Or you just so happened to get beaten half to death in the restroom by a “random” act of violence.

        Or anything equally as sinister, but to your finances, possessions, loved ones, or life.

          Scientology is not some super powerful cult with secret enforcers all over the place. They might have that much power in Clearwater Florida but outside of that what are they going to do?

          If they had the ability to act like a mafia the way that you’re suggesting then they wouldn’t be able to walk and operate freely in America without somebody from a three-letter organization breathing down their neck.
