I, like many others, believe $cientology is a money grubbing cult.
But, since Issac Hayes was a member of that cult, his memorial service would of course, have a representative.
Sit quietly while this person speaks and ignore what they say, but since it was what Mr Hayes believed you have to honor that.

Not only was he a brilliant singer/songwriter, but he was also a Olympic sprinter and wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. He was truly a renaissance man...

BOB Hayes was the Olympian and wide reciever, not Isaac. But, he died too.
Not a good week for Hayes.

Absolutely agree. There are times and places and all that.

Even though Scientology may overstep the bounds of propriety and social decency, if we were to stoop to that level, it would only tar us with the same brush.

Hayes' wishes should be respected.
