Chiropractors seeking advice find Scientology-influenced seminars — St. Petersburg Times (Florida)

Author(s): Stephen Koff

"Our connection with the church is that it is the religion of the majority of our staff," says David Riggin, [David] Singer's marketing director. "Scientology is a completely separate thing from Singer Consultants. Someone's decision to take a course from the Church of Scientology is their own affair, and our role is simply to allow the Scientology organizations to come to the seminars." Chiropractors make ideal subjects for Scientology because "they're in a line of work that is not well accepted, ...

Scientology loses bid to halt book — St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Type: Press
Source: St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
The Church of Scientology lost a bid Thursday in a British court to ban a biography of its founder, the late science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. The secretive religious movement, which has a headquarters in Clearwater, had asked the Court of Appeal for an injunction against publication of Bare Faced Messiah by London journalist Russell Miller. Such a ruling would have reversed a High Court decision dismissing their application as "mischievous and misconceived."

Seventy-four-year-old Catherine, recently widowed, joined a religious group at a neighbor's urging in the hope of learning how to prepare her soul for death. Over time, Catherine's daughter Susan noticed that her usually healthy mother was losing weight and was tired and withdrawn. After nine months, Catherine abruptly decided to move to the group's headquarters in a neighboring state. She liquidated all her assets, removed her daughter's name from their joint bank account and withdrew thousands of dollars of her life ...

CLEARWATER — Filling rows of a hearing room as if they were waiting for the service to begin, some 25 Pentecostal ministers from as far as Jacksonville came on Thursday to watch their brethren do battle with the property appraiser. To Pinellas Property Appraiser Ron Schultz, it is the proof that they still deserve the exemption. Rev. W.S. Craig, pastor of the Apostolic United Pentecostal Church in St. Petersburg, said he went for 31 years without having to justify to the ...

Another caller wanted to talk about our Sunday story regarding merchants in downtown Clearwater and how they appreciate the business of their Scientology customers. How many local residents, the caller wondered, stay away from the downtown area only because they don't want to be seen with Scientologists and be considered one of them, or at least because they would feel uncomfortable with the many Scientologists scurrying back and forth on downtown sidewalks? The caller believes there are many such people, and ...

Alain Priouzeau, who police said was in his mid-20s, was flown by helicopter to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg and died an hour and a half later of head injuries, police said. ...

Secretive as ever, the National Security Council (NSC) will not reveal precisely what kind of shredder Lt. Col. Oliver L. North worked into a state of exhaustion that November evening in 1986, the night he handed Fawn Hall compromising documents at such a rate that the shredding machine jammed. It was a Datatech product, an NSC spokeswoman said. It also said Intimus on it, she added, unhelpfully, since all Datatech shredders say Intimus on them. Once again, and perhaps as never ...

ST. PETERSBURG — City officials hope to be signing a contract soon with a company that would bring a new cruise ship to the Port of St. Petersburg. Thursday, the city sent a proposed contract to Royal Fiesta Cruises Inc., a Clearwater company that is converting a ferryboat in Europe into a ship that would embark from St. Petersburg on cruises lasting from two to five days or more. St. Petersburg has been without a cruise ship in its port since ...

Is the Internal Revenue Service out of order in trying to revoke the tax-exempt status of Jim Bakker's PTL ministries for three years? Is this IRS effort part of a campaign that picks on religious operations? Or is it a federal government agency doing its job, objectively challenging the outrageous spending practices of an organization set up for religious and charitable purposes? Anytime the IRS moves, the danger of abuse exists. Short of death or some uncertain judgment day, the IRS ...

The cruise ship Boheme has received an engine overhaul since being purchased by a group of Scientologists, and the vessel soon will get a stem-to-stern refurbishing at a cost of more than $1-million. But it still has no home port. The 500-passenger ship sailed out of the Port of St. Petersburg for 19 months while it was owned by Commodore Cruise Lines. But the vessel was purchased this past September by the International Association of Scientologists for use as a sailing ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — More than 400 current and former Scientologists filed a $1 billion suit against the church Wednesday, alleging efforts to compromise or pay off two Florida judges and siphon $100 million to foreign bank accounts. The class action filed by attorney Lawrence Levy contends Church officials or their representatives committed fraud and breached fiduciary duties. It says information obtained during purportedly confidential "auditing" sessions with a lie detector-like device is used "for purposes of blackmail and extortion." The ...
