A jury has listened to weeks of accusations that the Church of Scientology defrauded a man when it promised him emotional and financial security and higher intelligence through Scientology. The man, Larry Wollersheim, who was a member of the church for 11 years, is seeking $25 million.

Church Says Interplanetary Tyrant Exists |
Publication of secret documents that blame the world's troubles on an interplanetary tyrant named Xemu has held the Church of Scientology up to public ridicule. Church leaders vow to prevent further release of secret scriptures in ongoing courtroom battles with opponents the leaders say are attacking the Scientology religion. According to the tracts, Xemu, fighting galactic overpopulation, ordered humans and beings from other planets captured and placed in several large volcanoes. |

U.S. Judge Refuses to Block Use of 'Sacred Scriptures' of Scientology |
U.S. District Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer has refused to block the use of "sacred scriptures" the Church of Scientology alleges were stolen from a Denmark church by former members two years ago. Pfaelzer, who had issued a temporary restraining order, said that although she believes that the documents were stolen, church attorneys failed to properly trace their trail from Denmark to the United States. Pfaelzer said she also is reluctant to interfere because the material is key evidence in a $25-million Los Angeles Superior Court fraud case filed against the church by former member Larry Wollersheim. |
