---

A reader pointed out something on one of Scientology's websites that we have to admit is pretty precious.

The Religious Technology Center is Scientology's nominally controlling entity. (The Sea Org is the real power, but it has no legal status, and so RTC is the next best thing.) Its chairman is David Miscavige, which is why Scientologists refer to Miscavige as Chairman of the Board or C.O.B.

RTC wields Scientology's copyrights and trademarks (on loan from the Church of Spiritual Technology, Scientology's even more secretive source entity), and its role is to maintain the purity of L. Ron Hubbard's "technology" across the entirety of the Scientology movement.
