Scientologists online: Changes between Dec. 2002 and Jan. 2007

In July of 1998, a letter from Flag was sent to scientologists asking them to join the "Scientologist On-Line Crusade," which purpose was to "to have 100,000 Scientologists On-line by New Years 1999." Scientologists were to provide a personal success story on how Dianetics and Scientology helped them. It has been reported that this project was to actually improve the ranking of Scientology-owned web sites in Google search engine.

In 1998, Scientology spokespersons claimed membership of 8 millions. It is thus surprising that their goal for their "Scientologist On-Line Crusade" would be a mere 100,000, or 1.25% of their claimed membership. What is even more surprising — keeping in mind the claimed membership of 8 million — is that only around 16,000 scientologists actually ended up being a "Scientologist On-Line"... And this number has been declining as can be seen below, despite the spokesperson claims that Scientology is "the fastest-growing religion" (as reported in Rolling Stone (2006): "Inside Scientology" by Janet Reitman).

Following is a list of added/removed "Scientologist On-Line" between Dec. 2002 and Jan. 2007:

Red: no longer an "online scientologist"
Green: new "online scientologist"

Important: A name removed from the "Scientologist online" list doesn't imply the person is no longer a Scientologist. There could be many other reasons. When the reason of why a name has been dropped from the list is identified as plausible, this will be added as a note aside the name (or any other relevant information.)
