Only legal loophole saves Scientology Corporation from getting banned in France

Heared it on radio this morning. It's like with the many Hitler assassination attempts. The bad guys always suvive, somehow.

There have been many successful court cases against Scientology throughout Europe and in some instances the US, for tax evasion, fraud, intimidation, threatening of former members, stalking, torture and implementing mental distress, denouncement, betrayal of state offices, deception of public offices, alleged kidnapping, abuse, and more.

Several European nations refuse to accept Scientology as a religion. Which is wise, while true.

I know exactly 0 who are into Scientology. It just seems to be the movie stars. I guess this is what you do when you're bored.

Well, the verdict is still better than nothing

Yep. I know Christians (in just about every flavor you could name), Muslims, Mormons, Jews, even an odd atheist or two but not a single scientologist and I have been in nearly every state in the Union. If you read the Euro press however one would think they're as numerous as cockroaches.
