Aqua, lots of ways to look at it.  Here&#039;s 2 more. 

A girl travels to a strange land and kills someone.  Then she roams around the countryside until she kills again.  

OR

A young girl is ripped away from her loving family and taken to a new place, let&#039;s call it Cult.  Once in Cult, she is love bombed with gifts and praise.  Cult is a very science fiction-y place, but most everyone she meets is nice, although she does run into some beings who enjoy making her life miserable.  At one point she is held against her will.  She finally sees behind the curtain that the leader has no special abilities (other than the gift of gab) and has built his power around deceiving others.  So she goes home where her loving family is overjoyed at her return.]]></description>

There seemed to be a period around then, when they liked to make such claims about having a large membership that justified their &quot;expansion&quot; into new facilities.  That must have been something like the old &quot;ever bought a book or took a course&quot; count - basically, everyone with a folder in the infamous central files.

They apparently no longer dare make such outlandish claims, due to all the exposure that they&#039;ve gotten in recent years - such claims might even run  the risk of making people too &quot;curious,&quot; because if you google &quot;how many members does scientology have?&quot; the results aren&#039;t pretty.  So much for &quot;expansion.&quot;]]></description>
