Type: Press
Author(s): Amanda Bronstad
Source: Law.com

Scientology surviving on borrowed minutes? // The Church of Scientology faces more bad PR — NOW Magazine
Type: Press
Author(s): Enzo Di Matteo
Source: NOW Magazine
Scientology’s recent travails, splattered like so much bad scrambled eggs in the mainstream press, has me thinking about that day way back when the Reverend Al Buttnor, the Church’s high priest of PR, took me on a personal tour of Scientology’s Yonge Street headquarters. Freaky, mostly. And surprisingly empty. A few curiosity seekers on one floor hooked up to Scientology’s famous E-meter, getting stress tested, presumably. But clearly searching for something else. Themselves? Salvation? On another floor, a shrine to late ...

Author(s): Glenn Sumi
Source: NOW Magazine
Kenneth Anger doesn’t have a phone and for the past year he’s been living in a Los Angeles hotel that doesn’t take messages. "I’ve managed to do all my various things without one," he informs me on a cellphone handed to him by his assistant after much muffled talk about how to operate the bloody thing. "I got so irritated with people calling me when I was meditating or writing. If you want to get me, try mental telepathy!" Those aren’t ...

Author(s): Tom Lyons

INTEREST-FREE loans from abroad are propping up the troubled Irish branch of the controversial Church of Scientology. Financial documents seen by the Irish Independent reveal that the church is more than €1m in the red after running up huge legal bills in an epic eight-year battle brought by a disgruntled former member. As a result, members of the mega-rich Church of Scientology in the United States have had to cough up almost €400,000 just to keep the Dublin arm afloat. The ...

Author(s): Naomi Klein

Outside the 2,000-bed temporary shelter in Baton Rouge’s River Center, a Church of Scientology band is performing a version of Bill Withers’s classic Use Me – a refreshingly honest choice. "If it feels this good getting used," the Scientology singer belts out, "just keep on using me until you use me up." Ten-year-old Nyler, lying face down on a massage table, has pretty much the same attitude. She’s not quite sure why the nice lady in the yellow Scientology Volunteer Minister ...

Unorthodox arrest // Church of scientology calls cops and has one of its harshest and most vocal critics jailed — NOW Magazine

Author(s): Enzo Di Matteo

it’s an unshaven and frazzled-looking Keith Henson who shuffles into the converted jail cell used as a hearing room Thursday morning at the Metro West Detention Centre. He’s in broad-rims, jail-issue orange jumpsuit and blue canvas runners that he’s wearing like flip-flops because they’re too small for his feet. A flap of grey hair is swooshed over a bald spot on the top of his head. The unrepentant Scientology foe was arrested in a parking lot in Oakville by Halton regional ...

The Church of Scientology is not exactly used to syrupy press coverage. Too many weird scenes inside that gold mine, if you believe the tales of ex-members. But this week the church got some favourable spin on the front page of the Town Crier for its cleanup efforts in the Yonge and Isabella neighbourhood where there've been two recent shootings at nightclubs. The Crier's acting editor, Ken Shuler, says he knows something about the church's controversial past. "Yeah, I was kinda ...

Scientology's biggest star comes to Canada to make a movie that will bring church's values and villains to a theatre near you Members of the Church of Scientology were in Yorkville this past holiday weekend, questionnaires in hand, to collect opinions about the church from passersby. It's been a difficult couple of years for Scientology, which is trying to polish its fringe image as it awaits word from Revenue Canada about its application for charitable status.

Truth be told, Greg Hagglund has been a right pain in the ass for the Church of Scientology From the regular demos in front of the church's Yonge Street offices to the photographing of church members and posting of their mugs on the Internet, Hagglund has been relentless in his attempts to expose the "truth" about the curious practice of Scientology. Behind the scenes, he's been trying to put the kibosh on the church's controversial efforts to win charitable status. The ...

Toronto — If you've ever called or written to the Chicago-based Cult Awareness Network (CAN) for help, or subscribed to the group's newsletter, a dirty little secret or two of yours may soon be in the hot little hands of the notorious Church of Scientology. CAN was sued out of existence and taken over by Scientology after the church launched 53 lawsuits against the cult information network. Files belonging to the original board of CAN have been in legal limbo since. ...

Quaint Clarkson, tucked away on the westernmost edge of Mississauga, seems as unlikely a place as any to find L. Ron Hubbard, sci-fi-writer-turned-icon and founder of the much-vilified Church of Scientology. But here, just past the picket fences and over the train tracks where the old post office used to be, the portrait that graces Hubbard's opus Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health – sailor cap, face turned upward, blue sky in the background – hangs in the foyer of ...

"The weird, offbeat types of religious sects are getting far too much attention," a Lutheran minister bemoaned. "Sensational-type groups don't deserve the publicity," a Methodist added. And their outcry is common, even though much of the publicity might be harsh and critical. Such as this column's reporting of the Church of Scientology's local protest activities in 1971 against the federal offices here of the Food and Drug Administration. Cited were angry, shouting youths, including girls, dressed in clerics. But since then, ...

Mr. Steinman is a free-lance writer living in New York. Like all true believers, the members of the young Church of Scientology (or Dianetics as it is sometimes known) believe they have found the answers. A visit to their New York headquarters in the Hotel Martinique shows that Scientology has at least put smiles on a few faces and seems to have solved many of the existential problems of the members who work and study there. According to the recent U. ...
