Scientology in the News!

Scientology has been in the news recently with a BBC Panorama programme critical of it: BBC Panorama - Investigating Scientology

Scientology has responded by sending out vast quantities of DVDs (criticising the BBC Panorama programme) to MPs, religious and business leaders etc. I received one addressed to me personally at The Salvation Army in Gainsborough. This is clearly a large operation as I know of many other officers and ministers who have received one! The DVD came from here: Freedom Magazine

On a lighter note, Marta and I watched the South Park Scientology episode yesterday. This is not a programme we would normally watch because of its content, but this episode is quite mild (in terms of its language) and very funny! You can download/watch it here: Operation Clambake

Salvation Army? Just one of the many organisations the 'Church' of Scientology tells lies about:
