someone Human Rights Activists Celebrate 2009's Many Wins Against Scientology Cult

As 2009 comes to a close, the Scientology organization is reeling from another year of high-level defections, criminal convictions, journalistic exposes and books detailing the cult's criminal practices, and intense pressure from human rights activists. The Anonymous global network of human rights activists are keen to hold Scientology's leaders accountable for their crimes, which include organized fraud, human trafficking, kidnapping, obstruction of justice, and toxic waste dumping. Here are j… Continue

someone Scientology and the criminalisation of blasphemy

There are many reasons why we protest Scientology. Their history of violating free speech, the processes they use to separate people from their family and their cash, the spreading of dangerous medical advice regarding mental health, etc. etc. And yet whenever confronted with these criticisms, which are backed up by abundant victim testimony and court cases decisions, the Scientology spokespeople respond with same tired refrain – “You are all religious bigots.” For an example of Scientology’s re… Continue

someone "Scientology and their Protestors" - Pulse, September 2009

It's Saturday the 8th August and I was just buzzed into the Church of Scientology in Dublin. I'm physically shaking after the stories I've been told outside by former scientologist, Peter Griffiths. He tells me that they call all journalists `merchants of chaos', and make up rumours about those that write negative stories about their `Religion'. Today probably wasn't the best day to be wearin… Continue

someone "Scientology faces allegations of abuse and covering up deaths in Australia" - The Irish Times, November 19th, 2009

THE CHURCH of Scientology in Australia was last night defending itself from a scathing attack by a politician using parliamentary privilege. In a senate speech late on Tuesday, independent south Australia senator Nick Xenophon said: “Scientology is not a religious organisation. It is a criminal organisation that hides behind its so-called religious beliefs.” Mr Xenophon questioned Scientology’s tax exemption status and called for it to be investigated by the police and parliament. The senator… Continue

someone "Scientology chiefs make €270,000 from Irish wing" - Irish Independent, November 14th 2009

THE Irish wing of the controversial Church of Scientology is making annual profits of over €270,000 but its director last night insisted all the money was going to pay off the company's "substantial debts". A favourite with celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, the local Scientology spin-off has been the subject of numerous protests at its Middle Abbey Street base in Dublin, with a Fine Gael TD branding the movement a "crackpot cult". New financial filings show the Irish branch's i… Continue

themadhair "Church of Scientology fined €600,000" - The Irish Times, October 27th 2009

A Paris court has fined the French branch of the Church of Scientology a total of €600,000 after finding it guilty of fraud but allowed the group to continue operating in France. When the hearing opened, there were expectations that the court could order the group to be banned in France but legislation passed in parliament just before the start of the trial in May, ruled that option out. The legislation has since been changed back to allow the dissolution of an organisation found guilty of fra… Continue

someone "Irish firm wins in row with Scientology" - Business World, October 9th 2009

A leading Irish recruitment agency has won a highly unusual tussle with the quasi-religious cult, the Scientologists. Prosperity Recruitment had applied to register the trade mark of its own name: "Prosperity". However, objections arose as the Church of Scientology has a similar trade mark relating to the word "Prosperity". The objection said that Prosperity Recruitment's activities were too closely described to the Scientologists! After much difficulty, Dublin-based Prosperity was successfu… Continue

altruistichedonist Former Scientologist in Winnipeg, Canada extending congratulations

Just found your site. It's excellent ! As a former scientologist of Irish descent, I am very pleased that you're getting rid of Scientology in Dublin. I have a niece from Poland permanently living in Dublin with her husband and daughter and I certainly don't want to have to come to Dublin to pull them out of Scientology. I would if I had to ! Someday I'll return to Ireland, but that'll be for the fun of retirement. And maybe lay a fart at the grave of Scientology. LOL, from Winnipeg Continue
