We welcome you to Scientology. We only expect of you your help in achieving
our aims and helping others. We expect you to be helped.
Scientology is the most vital movement on Earth today.
In a turbulent world, the job is not easy. But then, if it were,
we wouldn't have to be doing it.
We respect Man and believe he is worthy of help. We respect you and
believe you, too, can help.
Scientology does not owe its help. We have done nothing to cause us to
propitiate. Had we done so, we would not now be bright enough to do what we
are doing.
Man suspects all offers of help. He has often been betrayed, his
confidence shattered. Too frequently he has given his trust and been betrayed.
We may err, for we build a world with broken straws. But we will never betray
your faith in us so long as you are one of us.
The sun never sets on Scientology.
And may a new day dawn for you, for those you love and for Man.
Our aims are simple if great.
And we will succeed, and are succeeding at each new revolution of the
Earth.
Your help is acceptable to us.
Our help is yours."1, 2, 3

publications. These have been summarisedø in remarkably lucid, concise and accurate form by
Circuit Judge Wright, a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit, in an opinion delivered on 5th February, 1969 in the case of The Founding
Church of Scientology in Washington, D.C. v. United States of America. The learned Circuit
Judge said:
