Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies.  I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report.  -  Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

At 7.30pm on Thursday 13th July 1995, the UK ITV channel will be
devoting its "The Big Story" programme to the cult of Scientology.

The programme has been produced with the co-operation of supporters
of a new anti-cult group, called FUSS (Families Under Scientology
Stress), who will be conducting demonstrations outside Scientology
orgs on 12th July 1995 to publicise the programme's transmission.

The cult has already attempted to infiltrate this new organisation,
and has already threatened several of its supporters with solicitor's
letters and (in at least one case) a visit from a private
investigator, which suggests that they consider FUSS to represent a
threat.

FUSS represents a new departure for anti-Scientology activities in
the UK: for the first time, a militant nationwide organisation
dedicated to exposing the abuses of Scientology exists here.
Supporters are planning to engage in a variety of campaigns to raise
public awareness of the cult's misdeeds and to attempt to encourage
the UK government to take similar actions against it to those already
seen in the EC, France, Germany and Denmark, among others.

FUSS also exists to provide support to families and individuals who
have lost friends or relatives to Scientology: its mailing list
numbers at least 300 already and looks set to grow steadily.

If you feel inclined to demonstrate your support for FUSS and its
goals, feel free to come and join us outside your nearest Scientology
org - it is hoped that every org in the UK will have a FUSS presence
outside it today, starting from around 11am.

Naturally, FUSS are keen to remain within the law, and would ask
anyone who joins their demonstrations to avoid any activity which
might give the cult the opportunity to claim that their rights have
been violated. Jeff Jacobsen's piece (on Martin Poulter's web page,
among others) on conduct during demos, while being orientated towards
US laws, is a good guide to how to avoid problems during anti-CoS
demonstrations.

Bona fide Press enquiries may be directed via my email address.
