The problem is that contracts might be enforceable if they were a business. However, they are a religion, and thei lawyers made sure that they were classified as a religion. However, freedom of religion means they have the constitutional right to change their minds. So, the contract is not binding.

Also, from strictly a business standpoint, a contract cannot only benefit one side in the agreement in order for it to be legal. The church has to offer some sort of "consideration" in return for what the signatory gives. At least that is what I learned in some contract law classes in college.

I suspect that Scientology will lose the case.

Yet it's Jews who get pegged with greed. Oy!

Scientology approaches this subject in a similar way as Affordable Dentures. Once they do you a bad job they are right there with a non-disclosure contract and when you expose them anyway they are right there to say "it was not us." The big difference is that Scientology will not give you your money back.
