Scientology – what readers think — East Grinstead Courier (UK)

Author(s): John Ablett

THE recent news reports concerning the Church of Scientology have been so damning, and the defence by members of the Church has been so unconvincing, that readers may be left wondering how some one could be so gullible as to ever become involved with such an apparently unsavory organisation in the first place. Or, once involved, how could they be deceived for so long? But the truth is not so simple and the process is more elaborate that it seems. Some ...

Scientology appeal rejected — Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP)—The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal against back taxes and penalties by the Church of Scientology, leaving in place the 1967 revocation of its tax exemption. The high court declined to review lower court decisions penalizing the group for tax deficiencies in 1970, 1971 and 1972, holding that large amounts of its monies claimed as tax-exempt went for private enrichment of Scientology's late founder L Ron Hubbard and his wife, Mary Sue Hubbard. L. Ron Hubbard died in ...

The Supreme Court Monday expanded its study of whether payments made to the Church of Scientology by members may be claimed as federal income tax deductions. The justices, who last month agreed to review the issue, added other test cases and appeals to their study of the Scientology appeal and are expected to make a ruling next year. Their decision will determine whether fees for educational services of the Church of Scientology can be considerd deductible contributions. Scientologists call the payments ...

Cult to pay taxes // US court confirms Church of Scientology is a profit making organisation — East Grinstead Courier (UK)

Type: Press
Source: East Grinstead Courier (UK)
THE church of Scientology has been ruled a profit making organisation. In the Supreme Court, Washington DC, last Monday, the cult was refused leave to appeal against a 1984 tax exempt ruling and must now pay $1.2 million back taxes for 1970 to 1972 and $287,614 in penalties for late filing. This will come as a severe blow to the church which has been fighting the Internal Revenue Service since the late 1960's to keep its tax exemption status. The United ...

AS the Church of Scientology hits hack at last week's report outlining its "hard sell" techniques, we can reveal that some people were so desperate to raise money for courses that they used the services of a fellow Scientologist who loaned them money at exhorbitant rates of interest. Dozens of people rang to confirm the details of last week's story and some provided documents showing how one wealthy Scientologist loaned his own money to help people pay for the cult's expensive ...

Type: Press

Scientology defended I HAVE several points to make about your last week's coverage of the Church of Scientology. 1. On your front page, you used photographs taken by two men who at the recent May Fayre heckled and abused the two female Scientologists who were giving their help to get the street signs cleaned. In fact these photographs were taken while the heckIing was going on. Thus these men have been "rewarded” for their hooligan antics. 2. You rely almost exclusively ...

The Supreme Court refused yesterday to review the federal government's decision to strip the controversial Church of Scientology of California of its tax-exempt status from 1970 through 1972. The justices, without comment, rejected the church's appeal of a ruling by a federal appeals court. The court, however, will consider a similar issue next term in connection with another case it has agreed to hear, involving whether Scientologists may deduct from their taxable income money spent on spiritual awareness courses. A spokesman ...

CLEARWATER — In 1975 the Church of Scientology, cloaked in secrecy, made this waterfront city its international headquarters. A lengthy outcry ensued when the public became aware the sect — under another name — bought a Clearwater landmark, the Fort Harrison Hotel. The Scientologists subsequently bought many other parcels of downtown Clearwater property, posting guards to keep the curious at bay. When the public and press asked questions about the aims of the Church of Scientology, sect leaders became mum about ...
