Scientology Church action is adjourned - Mary Johnston
Scientology Church action is adjourned
The long-running action by a woman against the Church of Scientology
and three members of its Dublin mission has been adjourned at the High
Court to next month.
Mr Justice Peart heard yesterday a witness was unavailable to give
evidence and, for this and other reasons including the judge's
commitments in other courts, the case, which has been at hearing for
22 days, was adjourned to March 4th.
The action has been taken by Ms Mary Johnston (40) who operates a
sports equipment centre at Westwood, Foxrock, Dublin. She is seeking
damages for alleged conspiracy, misrepresentation and breach of her
constitutional rights. She was involved in the church in the early
1990s and was persuaded by her family in 1994 to leave. Her side of
the case will resume on March 4th and the entire action is expected to
last several weeks after that.

[Note: The
Scientology®
organization has at best estimate approximately
45,000 to 50,000 followers world wide -- contrary to the 8 million figure
that the organization has been claiming for the past few years or so.
While that number continues to drop (thanks in part to the Internet) few
of the remaining followers are even aware of the unending series of police
raids, indictments, and prison terms their leaders and fellow cultists are
subjected to routinely. Few are allowed to know about their organization's
criminal history, or its current racketeering activities. Even fewer of
the cult's remaining followers are privy to their messiah's written
policies which dictates the criminal behavior that keeps getting their
organization raided (see Xenu.NET for
suitable references of Scientology policy) Scientology management
is the problem, not the thousands of honest believers who are good,
honest citizens; themselves victims of Scientology - flr]
