Those test results have prompted a California group affiliated with the Church of Scientology to launch a high-profile, well-financed assault ...

Winnipeg Sun The director of public affairs for the Church of Scientology in Western Canada denied yesterday it misled about 60 Winnipeg teenagers, hired to raise funds for a drug rehabilitation program linked to the church.

"Yes, there's a connection, but it's not some kind of covert or bad connection." Just because Narconon uses ...
