The Argus (UK) JOHN WOOD wants to tell your children the truth about drugs. He is the UK president of an organisation which claims it has been educating young people about the dangers of addiction for 25 years. It claims that message had been successful, and it claims it can also help those who have already fallen to drugs and drink.

The Argus (UK) [Transcribed by Anonymous <nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu> 21 May 1995 07:35:27 +0100] The Church of Scientology may call itself a religion, but it does not have a reputation for turning the other cheek. For a week last month Jon Atack and his family were subjected to scenes like this outside their home in Cranston Road, East Grinstead. Why? The placard-carrying demonstrators are Scientologists, and they do not like Mr. Atack because he is an outspoken critic of the cult. The police were twice called ...

The Argus (UK) [Picture / Caption: Canon Walker: No tenets of Christianity] THEY call themselves a Church and their symbol is a cross. But the Scientologists' religious image fails to stand up to scrutiny, experts say. The Vicar of Brighton, Canon Dominic Walker, says the sect should not be described as a Church. He said: "Scientology does not have any of the central tenets of Christianity and yet they use a cross as a symbol and their ministers wear clerical collars. "In calling themselves ...
