Hill, President Transitional Board of Education Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee Nashville, Tennessee Dear Dr. Hill: It is our privilege to transmitherewith our report on the ComprehensiveSurvey of the Metropolitan School Systemof Nashville and Davidson County,Tennessee. In our work we have beenimpressed by the opportunities affordedby the combin- ation of the two school systems, not somuch for immediate gains, butbecause of the potential it offers for efficientlybuilding better educational services forthe people of Nashville and DavidsonCounty. This report is hence but a point ofdeparture for the creativethinking and able stewardship needed for years to come inprovkiing soundly appropriate educa- tional opportunities for the citizensof Metro. Surveys cannotbuild school systems. Mechanisms areneeded to assure prudent leadershipand enthusiastic support to avoid the manypotential pitfalls and disappointmentswhich lie ahead. The process of unification of the two systemsshould be completed as soon as possible, not only to equalize educationalopportunity and increase efficiency in management, but also toconsolidate purposes and goals andattitudes" of unity needed to work towardthem. it has been a pleasure to share inthe aspirations of the Board,staff and citizens in this undertaking. The prospectfor success in creating aneducationally sound and economically defensible school systemfor Metro is encouraging. We express our appreciation for theexcellent cooperation we have hadfrom the Board, staff and many others. Respectful su itted, Francis G.

Background Prisoner Roger Charles Heaton and the Church of Scientology have made an application for jUdicial review of this policy. Unes to take The applicants, having seen our witness statement and outline argument, have offered to withdraw their case, with no order as to costs. This means that the non-recognition policy being followed by prison service is reasonable .and secure. It has been our long-standing policy to withhold recognition of scientology as a religion. However, in order to meet the needs of individual prisoners, the Prison Service allows any prisoner registered as a Scientologist to have access to a representative of the Church of Scientology if he wishes to receive its ministry. This is the approach which was followed in the case of Mr Heaton. The Home Office considers that its policy respects the rights of Mr Heaton under the ECHR and is reasonable in view of concerns of which the department is aware about some of the practices of the Church.

Avec mes remerciements à Serge Bésanger et Xavier Walter pour leur relecture, leurs excellents conseils et leur courage. Roger Gonnet "La Scientologie est une secte armée pour la guerre : je dirai ce que je sais sur ses armements, ses goulags, ses défenses et ses abris antiatomiques. Ceci, pour les armes physiques. Elle est aussi armée pour la guerre économique, pour la guerre juridique, pour la guerre politique, et pour la guerre de l'information. Le XXIe siècle pourrait être scientologue, si on la laissait faire." Roger Gonnet "Peu après mon retour chez moi, la catastrophe de Jonestown [930 morts 'suicidés' de la secte du Guyana] eut lieu : c'est ce qui m'ouvrit les yeux. Jusque là, si Hubbard m'avait tendu le verre de poison en me disant de le boire, je l'aurais fait, sans me poser de questions et sans arrière- pensées. C'est à ce moment-là qu'eut lieu le choc qui me sortit de la Scientologie.

  • BRAINED-Raul-Lopez-Scientology
    BRAINED Mentally impaired Raul Lopez was $1.7 million richer as the result of an accident settlement - until he joined the Church of Scientology. By Ron Russell From newtimesla.com Originally published by New Times Los Angeles December 21, 2000 ©2000 New Times, Inc. All rights reserved. http://www.newtimesla.com/issues/2000-12-21/feature.html/page1.html The ostrich eggs should have been a tip-off. But Raul Lopez wasn't worried, even though he had paid $30,000 for two of them. The eggs were going to make him rich. After all, his lawyer, Brent Jones, whom he trusted more than his own mother, had convinced him. Jones came highly regarded as a member of the Church of Scientology, the Los Angeles-based church in which Lopez had invested his hope of getting cured of irreversible brain trauma resulting from an auto accident. Never mind that medical experts had concluded that little could be done about his nervous tremor and inability to reason and interact with others the way he did before a big-rig crossed the center line of a Ventura County highway and slammed head-on into his pickup truck in 1985. Without exception, doctors advised him to adapt to his limitations and move on with his life. But that was before Lopez, 34, stumbled upon a Scientology booth at a Ventura County flea market. The Scientologists, he concluded, had what he wanted. "They were going to make me whole again," he recalls once believing, referring to the technology as well as the expensive training known as auditing that are the mainstays of Scientology's late founder, science fiction writer L.

  • San Jose Mercury News Ananda Church Leader
    Publication Date: Wednesday Feb 28, 1996 The Search for Truth at Ananda By Erik Espe The Palo Alto-based religious "colony" has a new $2 million church, an expansive new site for its East-West Book Shop and plans to expand its school. But charges raised concerning its leader, J. Donald Walters, are threatening its foundation. "Remember, all this is a dream." It is la te on Super Bowl Sunday. While much of the nation is still congregated around TV sets, 200 rapt church-goers sit in the pews of the Ananda Church of Self-Realization on El Camino Real at College Avenue in Palo Alto. They have gathered to hear their spiritual leader, "Kriyananda," speak about God and life. It is a rare local appearance for the man named Kriyananda, the author of more than 60 books and a profound leader in the "new age" movement for the past 28 years.
