AudioVideo Tuesday, 8 February, 2000, 22:33 GMT France urged to ban Scientology The church has 8 million members worldwide A government committee in France has recommended dissolving the Church of Scientology there, on the grounds that its activities threatens public order. A report submitted to the Prime Minister, Lionel Jospin, described the church as a "totalitarian" sect that kept files containing personal information on its members. The head of the committee, Alain Vivien, said that while the committee opposed a blanket ban on what he termed sects, it favoured dissolving "extremely dangerous" organisations such as the Church of Scientology. Celebrity Scientologists: Tom Cruise and wife Nicole Kidman The report added: "When such organisations disrupt public order and violate human dignity, measures should be taken to dissolve them." Mr Vivien said the committee had determined that the church's leaders in France were manipulated by their headquarters in Los Angeles. He attacked the organisation's operation in France as "underground activities led from abroad".

Ever seen one of these, maybe slipped into your mailbox or tucked under a windshield wiper blade? It's a one-sheet, multiple-choice, 200-question exam. The quiz resembles an extremely watered-down version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, which itself is fundamentally bogus. You are instructed to answer every question by checking one of three boxes (for yes, no, maybe). Then you are treated to 200 questions, such as: Are you a slow eater? Do you often ponder your own inferiority? When recounting some amusing incident can you easily imitate the mannerisms or the dialect in the original incident? Based on yes-no-maybe responses to incisive questions like these, it is possible to develop a detailed snapshot of your psychological makeup and take full stock of your crippling inadequacies. You're supposed to fill it out and send it back to a regional testing center (conveniently, it's even postage-paid). And then, a few days later, you'll receive a phone call inviting you to a local branch office to watch a videotape and go over your results. When you come in for that face-to-face meeting, invariably the upshot is that you are a total mess. Your life peaked a long time ago, and it's been getting progressively worse. You need help... a lot of it, and fast. But don't despair the same group who scored your exam is perfectly happy to sit down with you and explain what you need to solve those problems and reach your full potential.

ACJ Volume , Issue 1, Fall 2000 Altar Rhetoric and Online Performance: Scientology, Ethos, and the World Wide Web Todd S. Frobish Abstract Assistant Professor Speech Communication Studies Iona College 12 President St. New Rochelle, NY 10801 tfrobish@iona.edu http://www.iona.edu/faculty/tfrobish Introduction The Internet is fertile ground for religious groups that want to attract new followers. The World Wide Web (WWW) has become a sanctuary for groups seeking to renew themselves in light of the growing online population. A recent count of religious websites on AltaVista , an online search engine, revealed slightly more than 200,000 religious sites. Yahoo , a website directory, lists more than 1200 religious categories, from African-Religions to Zoroastrianism. In the category for Christianity, Yahoo includes more than 9300 websites. Consider that even the best search engine accounts for a trivial number of active websites, and one can begin to sense the immensity of the environment. But as this playing field grows, religions, factions, and cults will be in competition and questions of religious credibility will inevitably arise.

Europe Please read the VNN Standard of Publication before submitting your material to news@vnn.org US Senate Hearings on religious persecution in Europe Washington , USA (VNN) - The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe held Senate Hearings on religious persecution in Europe on Thursday. Representatives of some religious groups testified before the Senate Committee. Amongst the witnesses were actor John Travolta and musician Chick Corea. Several European countries, like Russia, Bulgaria and Austria were mentioned to recently have introduced legislation to curb proliferation of so-called "new" religious groups. Some European governments have established government agencies to investigate "sects" and "cults". Many countries were mentioned but based on the witness testimony Germany stood out as the most blatant violator of the Helsinki accord on human rights for their government sponsored religious persecution. A representative of the Christliche Gemeinde Koeln - Germany spoke of witch-hunt, bomb threats, harassment and revocation of tax free status. Testifying on behalf of the Scientology church, Chick Corea, a international renowned musician, who regularly performed in Germany at publicly sponsored concerts, reported of German government agencies canceling his contract to perform in Germany and publicly pressuring other local governments to prevent him from performing in any concert in Germany.

133. Scientology By Jack Nation, Pastor A brief summary of information on the church of scientology. http://www.cedarnet.org/jnation/book/bk19-16.html

Part XVI SCIENTOLOGY by Jack Nation, ThM, Pastor (ret.) BEGAN : In 1954. Scientology is a religious movement based on the teachings of the American writer and visionary L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard won prominence with his book "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" (1950), in which he outlined a form of therapy for curing emotional and psychosomatic illnesses and enhancing life. WORLDWIDE MEMBERSHIP CHURCH GOVERNMENT : A tight knit circle of committed adherents, with numerous "auditors" and "counselors" to assure understanding and practice of Scientology's secrets of the "Thetan" and "Dianetics." MAJOR DOCTRINAL EMPHASIS : Subjects were trained by therapists called "auditors", to increase the power of the conscious mind and subdue the influence of "engrams", which are painful impressions of past experiences that confuse the "reactive", or unconscious, mind. Hubbard's work took on a religious dimension with the publication of Science of Survival (1951), which explained the religious philosophy of Scientology. Scientology teaches that human beings are immortal spirits called Thetans, which is derived from the Greek word theta, meaning life. It also practices a ritual known as auditing. A device called an "E-meter" is used to guide individuals during auditing and help them to locate precise areas of spiritual difficulty.

Google catalogues more than two billion pages on the internet, but cyber civil libertarians cried foul when the site removed links to a website called Operation Clambake, due to a legal challenge from the Church of Scientology. The Operation Clambake site portrays the church as a money-hungry cult. Google fights back While Google complied with the church's request, it also quietly began to defend its freedom to link. Now, the church's tactics might have backfired, because when the search site receives a request to remove a link, it also forwards a copy of the legal request to a civil liberties site called chillingeffects.org. Google still links to Operation Clambake's homepage and Google's search results are based in part on links to a site.

December 12, 2002 Church of Scientology 'coercive' Irish Times A woman who is suing the Church of Scientology for damages told the High Court yesterday she was distressed to recall that a man became unconscious while she was giving him an "auditing" session. She described the church as "coercive" and "destructive". Ms Mary Johnston (40), who operates a sports equipment business in Foxrock, Dublin, said she was giving the auditing session in question in Britain in 1994. "I am distressed when I think back to how that poor man went unconscious on me and I was able to click him back. It has bothered me that I may have caused him harm." She has sued the church and three of its members, Mr John Keane, Mr Tom Cunningham and Mr Gerard Ryan, for damages alleging personal injury, breach of constitutional rights. Mr Michael Collins SC, for the defendants, was continuing his cross-examination of Ms Johnston on the seventh day of her action. Ms Johnston said she felt she had carried out things on a human being without having had the medical background to do so. She had done this through following the commands given by Ron L. Hubbard, the founder of the church. Asked about carrying placards outside a Church of Scientology meeting, Ms Johnston said she believed the church was coercive and destructive and altered people's perception of reality.
