Tom Cruise and John Travolta say the Church of Scientology is a force for good. Others disagree. Award-winning journalist John Sweeney investigated the Church for more than half a decade. During that time he was intimidated, spied on and followed and the results were spectacular: Sweeney lost his temper with the Church's spokesman on camera and his infamous 'exploding tomato' clip was seen by millions around the world. In THE CHURCH OF FEAR Sweeney tells the full story of his experiences for the first time and paints a devastating picture of this strange organisation, from former Scientologists who tell heartbreaking stories of families torn apart and lives ruined to its current followers who say it is the solution to many of mankind's problems. This is the real story of the Church by the reporter who was brave enough to take it on. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Surprisingly perhaps, it seems to be very scary for nearly all those on the inside too, probably even the monster at the very top. Maybe a few celebrity members are still so far removed from reality they haven't twigged yet.
What is the harm? Scaring people isn't enough? Ok then how about breaking up families?
There is much more besides but read the book yourself, it might act as an antibiotic or even as a vaccine against other malign influences on you and yours.
The book itself is a helta-skelta descent into mind control, madness and fear by the "exploding tomato" himself, John Sweeney, award winning war reporter and investigative journalist.
This isn't a detailed analysis of the church but just what happened to him when he started asking questions. This is of course very revealing anyway.
If you are interested in people then you should read this book. (
