Switzerland: Scientology
is not a church
The Instruction judge has ordered searches. Some pieces
related to scientology have been seized. The cult protested against that,
speaking of "ecclesiastical secret". The magistrate refused, under-
lining that
scientology had not the church's characters according to the usual sense. No
recourse have been undertaken against that decision. (Tribune

USA: Scientology is
not a Church but only
an organisation with a
charitable status
"In 1991 there
was a significant US Tax court case, that continued to refuse to give Church of
Scientology charitable status. That is to say, this decision continued to say
that Scientology was not functioning in a charitable manner.
Then two years
later,the
IRS in an administrative decision, granted Scientology its status, which was in
directcontradiction to the court case two years prior. To make the issue more
complicated, the final negotiations of the IRS/US government agreement was
secret, they're sealed, and the government and Scientology here refused to
release those final negotiations to the public."
Members
are discouraged from discussing
Scientology amongst themselves
and others, especially those
with critical views of the
cult. Scientology has a
long list of banned materials,
including books, magazines,
and websites. "Parishioners"
are forbidden to view these
materials in order to prevent
doubt or criticism.
Scientology
was founded by L. Ron Hubbard,
a hack writer of pulp fiction,
in the 1950s. L. Ron Hubbard
lied about nearly every
aspect of his life. He claimed
to be a war hero during
WWII, but Naval records
show he was mediocre at
best. He is the only Naval
officer to ever attack Mexican
territory when, as a commanding
officer, he shelled the
Coronado Islands. He then
blamed the incident on his
crew.

The head of the Galactic

(founded 95,000,000 yrs ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation
(250 billion or so per planet -- 178 billion on average) by mass
implanting.
He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put
an H Bomb on the principal volcanoes (Incident 2) and then the
Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic
Area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged."
His name was Xenu.
He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc.
was placed in the implants.
When through with his crime Loyal Officers
(to the people) captured him after 6 years of battle and put him in
an electronic mountain trap where he still is.
"They" are gone. The
place (Confed.) has since been a desert.
"Imagine a church so dangerous, you must sign a release form before you
can receive its "spiritual assistance." This assistance might involve
holding you against your will for an indefinite period, isolating you from
friends and family, and denying you access to appropriate medical care.
You will of course be billed for this treatment - assuming you survive it.
If not, the release form absolves your caretakers of all responsibility
for your suffering and death. Welcome to the Church of Scientology."

With Hollywood fanfare, Scientology announced the republication of L. Ron
Hubbard's Scientology

its program to "ensure the
purity of the religion and its Scripture … [and] the availability of the pure unadulterated
writings of Mr. Hubbard to the coming generations."
Fundamentals' purity thus authenticated, celebrities lent their
support to the promotion of Hubbard's racism.

charges scientology with fraud &
extortion
Scientology Faces Criminal
Charges
Wednesday September 5, 2007 By CONSTANT BRAND
Associated Press Writer
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - 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.
Scientology said it would
fight the criminal charges recommended by investigating prosecutor Jean-Claude
Van Espen, who said that up to 12 unidentified people should face
charges.
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 used illegal business
contracts, said Lieve Pellens, a spokeswoman at the Federal Prosecutors
Office.
``They also face charges of being... a criminal organization,''
Pellens said in a telephone interview.
An administrative court will
decide whether to press charges against the Scientologists.
In a
statement, Scientology's Europe office accused the prosecutor of hounding the
organization and said it would contest the charges.
``For the last 10
years, the prosecutor has been using the media, trying to damage the reputation
of the Church of Scientology and not being able to put a case in court,''
Scientology said. ``As a consequence, this created a climate of intolerance and
discrimination'' in Belgium.
It added that the prosecutor's
recommendations suggested Scientology was guilty even before a court could hear
the charges, making it ``difficult for the Church of Scientology to recover and
properly defend (itself) before the court.''
Scientology has been active
in Belgium for nearly three decades. In 2003, it opened an international office
near the headquarters of the European Union to lobby for its right to be
recognized as an official religious group, a status it does not enjoy in
Belgium.
A Belgian parliamentary committee report in 1997 labeled
Scientology a sect and investigations were launched into the group's finances
and practices, such as the personality tests conducted on new members.
Investigators have spent the past decade trying to determine how far
Scientology went in recruiting converts after numerous complaints were filed
with police by ex-members alleging they'd been the victims of intimidation and
extortion.
Justice officials seized financial records, correspondence,
bank statements and other papers in their decade-long probe to track the flow of
money to Scientology. Police also raided the offices of several consultancy
firms linked to the Church of Scientology.
Pellens said that prosecutors
expect Scientology to mount a strong legal challenge to the charges at a court
hearing, which could come in the next two to three months. She acknowledged that
could delay the case for years.
Belgium, Germany and other European
countries have been criticized by the State Department for labeling Scientology
as a cult or sect and enacting laws to restrict its operations.
The
German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes
advantage of vulnerable people.
In Washington, the State Department said
that if Belgian authorities ``have evidence that individuals violated Belgian
law, they should take appropriate legal steps consistent with Belgium's
international obligations to protect freedom of thought, conscience and
religion.''
``We would, however, oppose any effort to stigmatize an
entire group based solely upon reglious beliefs and would be concerned over
infringement of any individual's rights because of religious affiliation,'' the
State Department spokesman's office said.
The Los Angeles-based Church of
Scientology, which is seeking to expand in Europe and be reco- gnized as a
legitimate religion, teaches that technology can expand the mind and help solve
problems. The church, founded in 1954, counts actors Tom Cruise and John
Travolta among its 10 million members NOTE the cult "claims" 10 million
members but would you trust any group who had tom cruise as a member ?
Scientology has fought many battles to keep its secrets off the web, now they
are using it to attack my investigation into them.
This film was first aired on this site and on BBC One on May 14 2007.
Scientology can reform. I’ve seen proof. Where once they went to great
lengths to bury the word “Xenu,†now they are actually buying domain names
featuring Xenu … and using them.
It was brought to my attention that Scientology purchased the domain
www.xenu.tv in hopes that people might be looking for my website www.xenutv.com
and mistype the url. What do you get at xenu.tv ? Well, cable access shows
touting Scientology and the wonderful system developed by humanitarian L. Ron
Hubbard.
You see on the bottom of the second page, "Gimmick. We are here to help
sort things out."
A: All mission orders have some kind of a gimmick. It
is usually something that is used as a PR-type tactic of telling people why
you are there or explaining why you are there without giving them the real
reason. If you were a burglar or something, the gimmick would be I came
to visit you. But while you are out of the room, I steal your jewels.
Q: Or if you're a Scientologist the
gimmick would be that it would be for your spiritual betterment ?
You remember that Franchise Pictures produced two scientologist epics
: Kevin
O'Donnell's "Thirteen Days"-- that effectively showed his father as the real
hero during the cuban missile crisis, not JFK--and John Travolta's
"Battlefield Earth," showing intergalatic ramifications to the evils of
psychiatry. No it seems that Intertainment's lawyer allegedly was
wiretapped by Anthony Pellicano. -- (Tomklemesrud - alt.religion.scientology

One of Scientology's former top spymasters testified she'd been
trained to believe criminal actions which protected the church weren't
violations of Scientology's moral code.
Marion Evoy, a former Canadian
head of Scientotogy's Guardian Office, made the comment yesterday at the end of
four days of testimony in the trial of the Church of Scientology of Toronto Inc.
and five members on charges of criminal breach of trust.
The charges
arise out of a Scientology spy network that in the mid-1970s infiltrated the
RCMP, the OPP, Metro Police and Ontario's Attorney General's
office.
Evoy, 43, who left the church a decade ago, has been testifying
about her involvement in allegedly criminal Scientology intelligence-gathering
activities as part of an immunity agreement.
Yesterday Crown Attorney
James Stewart asked Evoy how she reconciled her criminal activities with some of
Scientology's statements of principles regarding honesty and freedom.
"It
was the way I was trained," Evoy explained, adding she and her co-workers
believed they should do "whatever was necessary to protect" Scientology founder
L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology itself.
Criminal acts of that kind were
"not considered against any code or moral in Scientology because you were
protecting Scientology," Evoy testified.

be traced to lingering spirits of an
extrater- restrial people massacred by
their ruler, Xenu, over 75 million years
ago. These spirits attach them- selves

harm and negatively influencing the
lives of their hosts" [Judge Leonie

do we get from getting people out of

Notice of
anti-scientologie: By acting this way, Tom Cruise shows that he
only obeys his sect, the episode attacking more the scientology itself than
Cruise’s own proselytism. What bothers the scientology is the fact that the show
revealed the ultimate superior hidden revelation (they say "knowledge") of the
cult. (Oh my god ! What a sacrilege, help us Tom !). Also, since the airing of
the controversial South Park’s episode, the scientology is losing followers. A
growing number of victims are deceived by the lack of intellectual honesty of
Mr. David Miscavige, a "pope-wannabe” of a Church who pretends having 8 millions
followers in the world … but who refuses to read our mail. A very sad Church, very little men.
