We told the enemy, "We will meet you in the courtrooms. We will meet you in
the streets. We will meet you on the airwaves and everywhere else where you

prospect of losing Scientology forever. Honest to God, it was that close.
That was 1984.
That is where Scientology stood 25 years ago when a few dozen assembled at
Saint Hill to found the IAS.
What stood on the other side of the battle line was, firstly, a series of
more than 60 "cookie-cutter" civil suits, all featuring the same cadre of
witnesses. In fact, another often repeated expression of the day was "dog
and pony show," in which a plaintiff in one case was a witness in all
others, until all the "Pinocchios" had testified in a round robin fashion in
each other's cases.

...seems he forgot how many times they got convicted and condemned for
hubbardian fraudulous activites. Last big one was in Paris, where the cult
main association was convicted to almost $ 1 million amend for fraud in

unsuspendd and amend for fraud, Paris 1978. Strangely enough, the old
criminal did not appeal! Neither did he dare to speak of this in his
"biographies" (I mean, hagiographies, except those from his critics)
