Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

Paris police detain 15 Scientologists
Agence France Presse

Police on Monday raided the headquarters and an annex of the
Scientology Church here and arrested 15 of the sect's leaders on
fraud charges, informed sources said Tuesday.

They said the raids were conducted on orders of a magistrate
acting on a total of seven complaints by former sect members, who
claimed they had been defrauded of nearly four million francs
(740,000 dollars).

The searches were at the headquarters of the Church and a
building called the Celebrity Center, which, although not
officially a part of the Scientology Church, bills itself is an
instruction center in dianetics, the philosophy behind the sect
created by the late science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

The Scientology Church in France has been sued several times in
the past, mostly on charges of coercion and for charging its
followers exorbitant rates.
