The Listener Panorama 's investigation into the Scientologists revealed an organisation which uses its founder's 'mixture of half-practical, half-gobbledegook psychological techniques' to draw large sums of money from its adherents, with threatening consequences if they opt out.

The Moonies, the Children of God and the other cults have a poor public image, but they almost always operate within the law. The ...

The ruling represents a second major setback in less ...
