Court upholds warrants used by OPP in raid on Scientology — Toronto Star (Canada)
Type: Press
Source: Toronto Star (Canada)
The Church of Scientology has lost the final round in its fight to quash search warrants that allowed some 250,000 documents to be seized in a 1983 raid on their Toronto headquarters. The Supreme Court of Canada yesterday rejected the church's application to challenge an Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that the warrants were legal under the Constitution. Yesterday's decision validated the lower court's finding that groups cannot escape criminal investigation simply by claiming organized religion status. But church president Earl ...

Hubbard's 7th 'Voyage' is an awful trip — Orlando Sentinel
Type: Press
Author(s): Joe Kilsheimer

The late L. Ron Hubbard was a respectable science fiction writer in the 1940s and '50s. He published a number of stories in Astounding Stories, the magazine in which some of SF's leading lights, such as Frank Herbert, Issac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, published their early works. In the mid-1950s, however, Hubbard turned his mind in on itself and developed the self-help doctrine of Dianetics, which later developed into the cult religion Scientology. After more than two decades out of science ...

Is the Internal Revenue Service out of order in trying to revoke the tax-exempt status of Jim Bakker's PTL ministries for three years? Is this IRS effort part of a campaign that picks on religious operations? Or is it a federal government agency doing its job, objectively challenging the outrageous spending practices of an organization set up for religious and charitable purposes? Anytime the IRS moves, the danger of abuse exists. Short of death or some uncertain judgment day, the IRS ...

The 'extended sting operation' of Scientology — The Listener
Type: Press
Author(s): John Penycate
Source: The Listener
Panorama's investigation into the Scientologists revealed an organisation which uses its founder's 'mixture of half-practical, half-gobbledegook psychological techniques' to draw large sums of money from its adherents, with threatening consequences if they opt out. Religious cults are a problem. They enslave the minds and empty the pockets of gullible young people, causing heartfelt grief to their families. The Moonies, the Children of God and the other cults have a poor public image, but they almost always operate within the law. The ...

A mystery / Hubbard's purple prose is still selling volumes — Seattle Times

Author(s): Frank Catalano

The writings of L. Ron Hubbard are a mystery. Not the writings on Dianetics and Scientology, topics on which the late Hubbard wrote dozens of books and manuals. No, the mystery is Hubbard’s science-fiction writing — specifically, why it’s selling so well. Before his death last year, Hubbard celebrated his 50 years in writing by producing “Battlefield Earth,” an 800-page tome that critics suggested was a better doorstop than book. That was followed, because of what Hubbard called “enthusiastic response,” by ...
