Carol Tobin Source:
Independent.ie She was open-minded enough about Scientology, if a bit dubious about some aspects of the life of its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Imagine Carol Tobin's surprise, then, when her hopes of a private jet and a Hollywood career with Tom Cruise were dashed as its adherents appeared to reject her
Is it just cynical old me or is Scientology a load of old cobblers or, as we would say here in Ringsend, a load of bullshit?
Oh, I can hear the ...

Constant Brand Source:
Associated Press A Belgian prosecutor on Tuesday recommended that the U.S.-based Church of Scientology stand trial for fraud and extortion, following a 10-year investigation that concluded the group should be labeled a criminal organization.

Van Espen's probe also concluded that Scientology's Brussels-based Europe office and its Belgian missions conducted unlawful practices in medicine, violated privacy laws and ...

Cleveland Free Times The optometrist wants to hear about my most painful memories.
This is an auditing session, an important component of a religion called Scientology. The optometrist is the auditor. His name is Steve Sasala. He is skinny. And tall. His face is long and narrow. I can make out the shape of his skull. We sit across from each other, on opposite sides of a tiny desk inside a claustrophobic room at the back of some historic building in Parma Heights. The ...

Aviva Lori Source:
Haaretz Hollywood, Tel Aviv is right behind you: Artists, businesspeople and middle-class seekers are filling the classrooms of local Scientology centers, hoping to rid themselves of excess spiritual baggage. Opera singer Gaby Sade used to have a very short fuse. If someone cut him off, he was capable of getting out of the car and giving the offending driver more than a piece of his mind. If if did not come to blows, he would at least tell him, in choice language, ...

Bat-Hen Epstein Elias Source:
Ynet They run summer camps for children and teach them all about love, modesty, and safe sex. They even hand out awards. Yet, it turns out that behind the volunteers of the Association for Prosperity and Security in the Middle East stands the disputed Scientology sect. Association members insist they are not missionaries. 'Our aim is to teach values,' they say. The surprised parents are not convinced. 'How come they run such activities without even asking us?' "Don’t be promiscuous. Sex is ...

Philadelphia Weekly Oh God. Sinister cultists the Scientologists are buying a new headquarters in Philadelphia on which (it being "a place of worship") they'll pay no taxes. The bastards. Soon they'll be out in the street–nicely dressed, glassy-eyed and grinning–conning innocent Philadelphians into taking a "free" personality test in an attempt to lure them into a hell world of unimaginably banal fourth-rate sci-fi gobbledeygook.
Here are just some of the crazy mental-in-the-head, batshit insane things Scientologists believe: All humans contain an ancient space ...

Scientology's New European Offensive: The March of the 'Orgs' — Spiegel
Type: Press
Author(s):
Holger Stark Source:
Spiegel Scientology has started a new propaganda offensive in Europe, opening new offices in capitals across the continent. German authorities are responding by increasing their efforts to monitor the controversial organization. At first sight, the building in Berlin's Charlottenburg neighborhood looks like a run-of-the-mill office complex: a functional, seven-story construction covered with glass windows. The young receptionist is dressed in black and wears a futuristic-looking headset. But for Scientologists, the building is a chapel, a place for studying their own doctrine and, ...
