Money and Scientology

I understand work and money are both important within scientology. To progress and move further you need to pay, you are encouraged to buy book and DVD's before anything else.

The CoS wiki states:

quote:The Church of Scientology has claimed to have as many as 10 million members as of 2006

So, my question, where is all the money going exactly? Who receieves it? L Ron clearly considered earning money to important and obviously scientology helped him become wealthy, but now he's not getting the money, who is?

Does it go directly back into scientology, If the money IS for scientology, why take it form the scientologist? Surely if they are dedicated they would be willing to help out with donations or promoting the group.

yo, anybody?

Some estimates are that the CoS only has 70,000 members.

But where the money goes mu guess is that is not for a noble cause.
