Lure of the celebrity sect / During an exclusive tour of Scientology's Celebrity Centre, Jamie Doward quizzed personnel about the church's teachings — The Observer (London, UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Jamie Doward
Source: The Observer (London, UK)
For a second or so the needle proceeds smoothly along the dial. I watch its progress while clutching two can-shaped metal devices, wired to the small machine housing the dial. Suddenly, the needle jerks violently. 'What was that?' asks Janet Laveau, head of the UK Office of Special Affairs, the Church of Scientology's PR machine. I'm disturbed and temporarily impressed - the needle jumped just as I was thinking of a friend who is seriously depressed. How could the machine 'know' ...

Scientology advert rapped — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Stephen Bates
Source: The Guardian (UK)
A Church of Scientology advert claiming that its programmes had "salvaged" 250,000 people from drug abuse has been censured by the Advertising Standards Authority as unproved, following a complaint by the Church of England. The ruling related to a poster coinciding with a campaign run two years ago by the church. In effect it claimed that the church had saved all those who had completed drug programmes. It did not mention that its definition of drug use included an occasional alcoholic ...

Full pews and prayers for peace // While all have condemned the terrorist attacks, feelings about the response are mixed — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Stephen Bates
Source: The Guardian (UK)
After years of declining congregations, churches in England are reporting a strange phenomenon - pews have been filling up in the wake of the atrocities of 11th September. Whether it is a temporary conversion remains to be seen and the evidence so far is fairly ephemeral - 800 at evensong in Exeter instead of the normal 100, attendance at services 50% up in York Minster, 60% up at Winchester - but some clergy are noticing a new seriousness. Richard Chartres, Bishop ...

Obituary: L Fletcher Prouty — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Michael Carlson
Source: The Guardian (UK)
US officer obsessed by the conspiracy theory of President Kennedy's assassination It is appropriate that Fletcher Prouty, who has died of organ failure following stomach surgery at the age of 84, will best be remembered as the model for the mysterious Colonel X, played by Donald Sutherland, in Oliver Stone's film JFK. Prouty, who believed the assassination of President John F Kennedy was a coup d'état perpetrated by elements of the United States military and intelligence communities, was a career military ...

France arms itself with legal weapon to fight sects // Law to shield the vulnerable worries main churches — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Jon Henley
Source: The Guardian (UK)
France has become the first country in the world to introduce specific legislation aimed at controlling the activities of cults. The objective is to combat the 175-odd movements of a quasi-religious nature considered a danger to society. The Scientology movement and the Unification Church of the Rev Sun Myung Moon immediately denounced the bill - endorsed almost unanimously on Wednesday by national assembly deputies - as anti-democratic and in breach of human rights laws. Roman Catholic and Protestant leaders have expressed ...

Websites say sucks to big business — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Duncan Campbell
Source: The Guardian (UK)
The right to set up a really rude website aimed at undermining the public image of big businesses and religions is being fought for by civil rights activists in the US. The battle comes in the wake of action by leading multinational companies like Wal-Mart and McDonald's to stem the growth of websites which add "sucks", "kills" or "stinks" to the brand name. "This has become a constant issue," Barry Steinhart of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said in New ...

Church attacks new French anti-cult law — The Guardian (UK)
Type: Press
Author(s): Jon Henley
Source: The Guardian (UK)
The French parliament yesterday adopted Europe's toughest anti-sect legislation yet, creating a controversial new crime of "mental manipulation" punishable by a maximum fine of £50,000 and five years imprisonment. The move was applauded by Alain Vivien, head of a government committee that has identified 173 dangerous quasi-religious groups in France, but was denounced by both the Church of Scientology and the Unification Church as fascist, anti-democratic and in breach of basic human rights laws. Current French law, described as "inadequate to ...

Nick Ryan on the holy wars fought in cyberspace between religious movements and their critics Religion in the UK: special report August 12 1995 was a Saturday much like any other in the urban sprawl of Arlington, Virginia. Except that an alert went out over email and on Usenet groups to say that 10 people - including two federal marshals, two computer technicians, one a former FBI agent, and several attorneys - were raiding the home of former Scientologist Arnaldo Lerma. ...
