Globe and Mail (Canada) New light has been shed on the Canadian operations of the controversial Church of Scientology by files made public by a U.S. District Court in Washington. The evidence refutes denials by Toronto cult leaders of information I reported more than five years ago in a series of articles based on internal cult documents and interviews with defectors. Other accounts since then of clandestine operations by the cult in Canada are also supported by the files, submitted in court after being seized ...

Clearwater Sun (Florida) Through "auditing" (counseling), a Scientologist strives to separate the spirit from the body. The most mysterious — and potentially most macabre — auditing process is R2-45. Though a Scientology spokesman says it should not be taken seriously, auditing process R2-45 is a special order directing scientologists to shoot disruptive foes. John McLean, a former Scientologist, said he saw the order while a member and believed that is what it meant. His mother Nan, also a former Scientologist, said she was told ...

Local Scientology centers promote services and plan their expansion with the help of high-level directives outlining a variety of methods to bring in "the raw public by the ...
