He demanded to know what I had against John Mappin and Scientology. From the outset, he did that Scientology ‘handling‘ thing I’ve since learned about. Apparently, they’re trained to assault you with accusations about you, your past, your problems etc ...

He, and about 50 other NoLibs residents, had attended a police town hall meeting on September 8.

Glendale News-Press (California) Youth need more positive influences
Recently the newspaper talks about the difficulties of the youth going back to school.
Fewer classes in the community college, fewer preschool and after-school programs and fewer cultural programs because the government can’t financially support these activities anymore.
This can create the risk of a reduction of the education and culture in society, with the result of more youth hanging around on the streets, more drugs, gangs, etc.
For years, as a member of the Church ...

Glendale News-Press (California) About 20 years ago a delegation from the church of Scientology came to my school and asked that I be fired from my position as a teacher (some might take note here of a recurring theme in my professional life).

Time magazine had just done a feature article about the organization, and it managed to make its way into a ...

Switched Web and animation designer Reese Leysen is inundated with Google Adsense and YouTube ads on a daily basis, much like the rest of us Internet dwellers.
One day he decided to poke around a bit and noticed that the site for "Foundation for a Drug-Free World" was chock-full of top-dollar production, the sort that would be far out of the reach of a typical non-profit organization on a limited budget. This left him scratching his head.
Later on, however, he stumbled ...

That is, if entrepreneurs connected with the Hollywood based cult can muscle into the film business with their proposal to homogenize films by tailoring them to the tastes of the unwashed masses. It all began last July, when Future Films, a new, eccentric studio, began running ads in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter touting its revolutionary ideas. No one knew what to make of it all.
