Very quickly...
This morning Rev. Gandow got calls from several neighbours that suspicious cars were observing his place. He drove off and there were able to lose the cars, only to get one of them back when on the Autobahn.
The guy went very near his car, photographed while driving(!). Situation was really scary. Gandow (he wasn't the driver) called the Autobahn-cops, who signaled the guy to stop. Before stopping, that driver quickly made a phone call. That call cost him 30 Euro, not including the cost of the call. And of course Gandow made a criminal complaint against him.
The cops escorted Gandow and his passengers to the church service were he was driving to. It dealt with religious freedom. The prayer at the end included the reckless driver, the Berlin OSA lady, Dandar, Henson, Beckstein, Blüm, plus all the people persecuted by scientology.

RE Subject: "fair game" on the Autobahn
I can well understand Rev Gandow being very frightened when being followed so closely and especially on the Autobahn. I have had the PI's hired by the cult come so close to my car I just shuddered for fear I would cause a wreck.
I still watch for a dark red van which was the most daring of the various PI's that followed me while I drove to the store or to one of the club houses here where I live.
Happy to know that Rev Gandow had an escort to his church service.

BZ-Berlin January 20, 2003
He is regarded as one of Scientology's most fearsome opponents -- Thomas Gandow, sect commissioner of the Berlin Evangelical Church, gave his sermon to the Luisen congregation yesterday under police protection.
Having been followed and photographed on his way to church, Gandow was concerned that the church service would be interrupted.
As Gandow and former Scientologist Gerald Armstrong were on their way to the Luisen Church [photograph of Gandow and Armstrong in church], they were followed and photographed by a person unknown to them. Gandow told BZ-Berlin this was meant to intimidate them. While under pursuit, he notified the police, who pulled over the following vehicle at the Michendorf roadside stop to ask for personal identification. According to Gandow, it was Mirko O., an active member of the Scientology Organization (SO). At that point the Luisen congregation was to receive police protection for church services.

Several members of Scientology were among the congregation. Rev. Gandow recognized one of them as a leading member; it was a woman writing down statements made by the clergyman and sect victim Gerald Armstrong.

A similar service had been disrupted two years earlier by Scientology adherents. According to official statements from the Berlin state office for the Protection of the Constitution, the Berlin branch of the organization has about 200 members. Scientology is currently under surveillance by the feds because it presents "indices for efforts against the basic liberal system" upon which German democracy is based.
