Science or fiction? — The Australian
Type: Press
Author(s):
Natasha Bita Source:
The Australian EVEN for a religion started by a science fiction writer, the allegations levelled against the Church of Scientology in federal parliament this week sound stranger than fiction. Blackmail, cover-ups of child abuse, labour camps, embezzlement and coerced abortions are spelled out among the 53 pages of allegations by seven former Scientologists - some of whom had climbed high in the church hierarchy - tabled in the Senate. In what the church has decried as "an outrageous abuse of parliamentary privilege", independent ...

Scientology, others let code fines mount in Clearwater — Tampa Bay Online
Type: Press
Author(s):
Mark Douglas Source:
Tampa Bay Online CLEARWATER - The city of Clearwater is so strapped for cash that leaders have eliminated 86 jobs, cut library hours, and raised the property tax rate.
Parks and recreation workers even stopped flying the American flag for a few days over 13 city landmarks to save a couple of bucks.
But one step the city staff has not taken to help make ends meet is forcing city code violators, including the Church of Scientology, to pay the $3.4 million in fines ...

Is John Travolta cracking up? It's not just grief - and guilt - over his dead son that are tearing the actor apart — Daily Mail (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s):
Paul Scott Source:
Daily Mail (UK) Dead of night, and on a deserted Florida landing strip, the silence of the oppressively hot early hours is broken by the low whirring of an electric golf cart, driving lazy circuits.
At the wheel is a bulky, lone figure, hunched forward over the controls as he tries to kill time during another long, sleepless night.
It is a sight that has become something of a regular occurrence in recent weeks, as Hollywood star John Travolta acts out his bizarre nocturnal ...

Thomas C. Tobin ,
Joe Childs Source:
St. Petersburg Times (Florida) The four high-ranking executives who left Scientology say that church leader David Miscavige not only physically attacked members of his executive staff, he messed with their minds. He frequently had groups of managers jump into a pool or a lake. He mustered them into group confessions that sometimes spun into free-for-alls, with people hitting one another. Mike Rinder, who defended the church to the media for two decades, couldn't stomach what was happening on the inside. The tactics to keep executives ...

Tampa Bay Business Journal CLEARWATER — The largest building downtown and its little sister are hard to miss.
The Mediterranean-revival Flag Building occupies an entire city block. It is connected via an overhead walkway to the landmark Fort Harrison Hotel across the street to the west.
The Church of Scientology owns both, and each is in a phase of multimillion-dollar construction.
The hotel is shrouded in scaffolding as it gets gussied up in a $30 million renovation project started in April.
Looking from outside, the ...
