Chichester Observer (UK) Sir, – In your issue of November 26, Brian Warren gives rein to Mr Atack's fantasy in an article about the Church of Scientology. The publication is a gross distortion of the truth deliberately designed to whip up antagonism against the Church. Why is Atack attacking a religious group which has freed over 100,000 people from the ravages of drugs and which puts more people on the road to total freedom than all other groups combined? Mr Atack fails to mention ...

East Grinstead Observer FORTY-FIVE members of a splinter group of Scientologists demonstrated outside the entrance of Saint Hill UK headquarters on Sunday, in protest at the cost of the sect's courses. The group demanded reforms within the workings of the church, including a refusal to interfere in the sexual, marital and family affairs of its members. This was a reference to the scientology practice of "disconnection" — cutting off communication with relatives if there is a disagreement over their beliefs. Mr Eric Ballard, a ...
