Barbara Graham to Scientology's Susan Taylor: Scientology not pure
In her letter Feb. 5 , the Rev. Susan Taylor, president of the Church
of Scientology, claims that her church has turned over a new leaf. The
Rev. Taylor is being disingenuous when she claims the Internal Revenue
Service granted Scientology religious recognition. That is not a
function of the IRS. In fact, the organization acquired tax-exempt
status by coercion.
Since 2000, Scientology has worked to discredit people who protest its
attacks on apostates and critics. The Scientology organization
actively suborned perjury to destroy the career of attorney Graham
Berry. The group also wielded its influence in a court case involving
critic Keith Henson, now a fugitive in Canada.
Last year, the San Diego Criminal Intelligence Unit visited me prior
to my address to the county Board of Supervisors in opposition to a
Narconon facility planned in San Diego. An anonymous caller accused me
of planning to bomb a "church" of Scientology!
Narconon is one of the "social programs" mentioned by the
Rev. Taylor. Narconon is a recruitment tool for the Church of
Scientology, supposedly dedicated to dealing with social problems.
It provides opportunities for Scientology to promote itself as promoting
secular programs, "based upon the teachings of L. Ron
Hubbard."
Hubbard's teachings, as well as his life, have been debunked by
legitimate scholars.
I wish to set the record straight here. People can easily research any
of the names or topics I've mentioned. There is plenty of evidence
online that clearly reveals that Scientology hasn't changed since the
1970s. Look for yourselves.
