Clearwater Times (Florida) CLEARWATER — The Church of Scientology promised Monday to give citizens of Clearwater "adequate information" about itself, but some people already are accusing the group of distributing misleading material. Others say the church's new policy of openness is merely an old policy to appear to be open and above-board. The skirmishing came as the Clearwater City Commission wrapped up five days of public hearings on Scientology and the church launched a media blitz intended to win over the public. The information ...

Haigler, a retired U.S. government geologist, came to Clearwater last week from his home in Fairfax, Va., to witness the Clearwater City Commission's public hearings on Scientology. EACH DAY he came to City Hall with a large black briefcase out of which ...

Clearwater Times (Florida) CLEARWATER — Sven Egil Omdal watched the Clearwater City Commission's public hearings on Scientology and then returned to the Surfside Holiday Inn Wednesday evening — to find the door to his room ajar. He is sure he had locked it. He is also sure the incident has something to do with a visit the 29-year-old Norwegian journalist made earlier in the day. He went to the former Fort Harrison Hotel, nerve center of the Clearwater-based church, and proffered his business card. ...

Wilson ...
