Letters to the Editor // Report lays bare the Times' bias against Scientology — St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Type: Press
Source:
St. Petersburg Times (Florida) The ''St. Petersburg Times June 24 editorial The abuse behind Scientology's facade proves beyond doubt that any aura of objectivity in the ''Times so-called "special report" was illusory. The report attempted to give the appearance of balance by quoting statements from Church of Scientology representatives, but the editorial exposes this exercise as a hollow pretense. The editorial uncritically accepts as true statements from a handful of former church staff without ever addressing their lack of credibility, their underlying motivations and the ...

Letters / Scientology displayed — Montreal Mirror

Montreal Mirror Scientology displayed [Re: Scientology on display, News, April 23] The only thing more disturbing than the Church of Scientologys presence in the atrium of the Concordia library last week is the university administrations laissez-faire attitude about the indiscriminate rental of its common spaces. Its completely inappropriate that Concordia spokesperson Christine Mota encourages members of the university community to get a grip and chill while access to our library is given over to anyone who can afford the price. The attention of ...

Letters // Concordia got it right — Montreal Gazette

Montreal Gazette Re: "Scientologists didn't deserve a soapbox" (Letters, April 22). Norman Ingram suggests that so called "crackpot" groups like the Scientologists should not be accorded publicly funded space like Concordia's atrium. But that is precisely what universities have a mission and an obligation to provide. Academic freedom and free speech have no point if offensive speech and crackpot ideas have no public forum. Every single university discipline has some ideas or promotes practices that will offend some portion of our population. Every ...

Letters // Scientologists didn't deserve a soapbox — Montreal GazetteMore: montrealgazette.com
Type: Press

Montreal Gazette Re: "Scientologists have a right to speak, too" (Editorial, April 19). Your editorial's plaintive title betrays a fundamental misapprehension of the issues involved. No one denies the right of Scientologists to say whatever they want, however wrong and untrue it might be. What some people are concerned about, however, is the fact that they are being given a publicly-funded, intellectual soapbox - the Atrium of Concordia University's library building - from which to make their crackpot claims. That is the issue. ...

Letters to the Editor // Legalizing drugs wrong — El Campo Leader-NewsMore: leader-news.com
Type: Press

El Campo Leader-News Whatever happened to "Just Say No to Drugs"? In every newspaper of significance, across the Internet and on the airwaves, arguments rage back and forth about the legalization of illicit drugs. Just months ago, the only drug under legalization scrutiny was marijuana. Now, legalization advocates have extended the argument to include cocaine and heroin, drugs that are much more often the target of rehabilitation stays. Arguments in favor of legalization offer such humanitarian benefits as "less drug-related violence," "less illness," "use ...

St. Petersburg Times (Florida) Luxury lifts up church hotel March 22 story Money could go to better use In this time of recession, when people are losing jobs, houses are going to foreclosure and times basically are tough all over for everyone, it's nice to see the cult of greed spending $40 million on renovations to its lair — not for the good of the community or to help those less fortunate, but to add to its own excess. As a "religion" and a "church," ...

Pasadena Weekly Who knew?
I find these Anonymous letters brutal, unthinking, indecent and disrespectful to the religious beliefs of others.
It is easy to say whatever you want to say, even if it’s untrue, if you don’t sign your name to it. Is it really possible to hold on to so much hatred and evil?
Doesn’t Anonymous know that Scientology is expanding at a much faster rate than ever before? Yes, it’s true. In the last 20 years, churches, missions and groups in ...

Dianetics does, indeed, work: There must be some reason that Dianetics was on the New York Times bestseller list twice. Get a copy, sit down in a comfortable chair some evening and find out for yourself.
Missing from all the criticism is any indication that Dianetics doesn't work. It, in fact, does work, as millions of people around the world have discovered for themselves.
Yes, I'm a Scientologist and have been, going on 40 years. Those many years ago, I ...

It takes a very low form of life to covertly enter an organization and then do an obvious hatchet job on that organization. The Church of Scientology is for the able individual who has enough intelligence to see that he could do better in life.
Besides being a renowned writer of science fiction, L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, was also a philosopher, the author of many scientific works, an ...
