http://www.sptimes.com/2002/01/30/NorthPinellas/School_would_harm_nei.shtml Learn more about history of Scientology Scientology evidently is taking over the city of Clearwater, slowly, slowly oozing into the power structure, such as it is, and becoming "normalized."

If the truth about the basis and ongoing operation of this cult is of any interest to you, and one might suppose it is of interest to the decision-makers of the invaded community, there are two books that you, and they, might read. They are in your local library if they have not been removed.

The first is Barefaced Messiah by Russell Miller, which is an almost day-by-day biography of the cult's founder from birth to establishment of the cult. Those who are regaled with the life and accomplishments of L.R.

Hubbard according to his minions will find almost every claim refuted in this well-researched biography.

The second is A Piece of Blue Sky by Jon Atak, which describes the operational methods of Scientology from its earliest days until 1989.

Anyone who has not read at least some of these two books cannot claim to know about Scientology, a growing influence in our lives.
