I I said minutes ago on another thread, Britannica has also a lot of anti-scn tricks. But since the criminal cult pays with its stolen monies, it is neverthelmess able to keep on selling its fraudulous "services" thru such sites as Britannica.
A shame.
We shoudd write to the Charity commission right now. Her is one exemple of what I wrote to them days ago:

Dear Sirs and Commissioners,
I'm writing you to give you more date pertinent to your perfectly valid refusal of the "17 th NOVEMBER 1999 APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION AS A CHARITY BY THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY (ENGLAND AND WALES)".
Indeed, as an ex-director and founder of a scientology organization in France, and as an ex "OT, minister, auditor etc of that group", I can assure you that you were totally right about the fact that scientology cult is in no way a true religion, neither a "charity" or non-profit entity.
Now, I'm also considered as one of the expert critics of the cult, world-wide, and I've recently been asked before french courts as a witness against the scientology cult; the cult makes tremendous efforts to discredit me, but I don't care a of its libelous statements.
I don't know if you have already been informed that almost at the same time where you refused the application of scientology UK, the cult was spending enormous PUBLICATION efforts so as to reinforce its self-called religious image.
Indeed, as you'll be able to see into the essay I wrote - attached to this letter - scientology had already done some fantastic and unprecedented efforts so as to "prove" it is religious. It has paid scholars wherever it could to make expertises proving it is a religion. But any of those reviews are biased and presenting only the APPARENT side of the cult.
Now, some others having not paid by the cult are presenting lots of "other truths" about it. One of them is Dr Kent, from Alberta University, Canada, whose last book "From Slogans to Mantras", does disclose much about scientology and other cults.
If I presume you could be interested by my own study, it is because no other such study has ever been done on this topic :"How a group -religious or not- uses its own publications to prove it could be religious".
No other group, ever, has tried this. Scientology efforts are unique.
Now, after you've read and checked the data in the essay, you could also go further to discover if any religion or cult - or even, any commercial company - has such profit rates as scientology does. It can be estimated around 1:10 (the ratio between hard-sellers and attorneys pays in the cult, and those "delivereing products" is also 10:1).
Scientology is in fact getting more than US $ 440000, something like £ 350000 if I don't err, from every person going to the highest point of its self-called spiritual progression. No other group asks such amounts, it's evident, and certainly, no other "religion".
Scientology pretends nevertheless that a "staff" could get all those "progression levels" for free. But this is false, since such staffs are asked to sign 1 billion year contracts of slave work, and to sign one invoice for every new "service" taken from the cult.
If the staff leaves the cult before 1 billion year, he's supposed to pay all those pre-signed invoices, amounting to hundred of thousands of pounds for staffs having reached the so-called upper levels. This is called a "freeloader debt", and scientology goes sometimes as far as using threats of justice to get this so-called debt back.
Still better, such a debt incurred by having been a staff for years or decades, can be much higher than the total "salaries" paid during the same period (20 pounds a week is high salary there) so the cult is litterally ruining the staff, if he remains, and ruining him, if he leaves.
Not to speak of incredible violations of human rights, witnessed times after times before courts.
Scientology has not really changed since Justice Latey labeled it a criminal cult in High Courts, London.
Therefore, I'm asking you from the inside of my heart to consider any decision you could take in favour of that cult.
You can ask me as a witness before your Commission, as often as you want.
Sincerely and Respectfully yours,
Roger Gonnet
