Our MPs receive small forests of embossed invitations to assorted freebee shindigs. There is to be a "Grand Opening" of the Church of Scientology's jazzy new London headquarters. The rich sect boasts such celebrities as John Travolta and Tom Cruise. "We would be quite nervous about going," says one parliamentary aide, "but we think a few female MPs will head down on the off chance that Cruise turns up." |

Looking To The Stars For Spiritual Answers |
"Scientology has specific policies to recruit celebrities into a public relations mode," says Dr. Stephen Kent, professor of the sociology of religion at the University of Alberta. "The end result is to use these celebrities to recruit new members or at least make the image of Scientology acceptable in society." "They treat their celebrity members better than ordinary members," Dr. Kent says. He cites numerous interviews he has done with former members as well as allegations that ordinary members have at times been used as unpaid labour for stars. |

The Church and the Magazines |
Premiere magazine ran an 8,700-word piece examining the growing influence of Scientology in the entertainment industry. The piece zeroed in on the activities at the church's Celebrity Centre, outlining some of the members who've come and gone, others who've stayed - and why. The article also goes into Scientology's history of threatening to sue people and businesses it views as adversaries. There are positive statements from believers too, though they figure less frequently. |

Bizarre Brainwashing Cult Cons Top Stars Into Backing Its Drug Program |
Some of Hollywood's biggest stars have been duped into endorsing a controversial drug rehabilitation program called Narconon, which is actually operated by Scientology. More than 170 celebrities' names have been used as "Friends of Narconon." Although a few are Scientologists - such as Cathy Lee Crosby, Priscilla Presley and Karen Black - others were shocked to learn Narconon was an offshoot of the weird cult. |
