FRANCE LASHES OUT AT SCIENTOLOGY "A French judge has ordered two departments and seven prominent members of the Church of Scientology in France to stand trial on charges of organized fraud, a judicial source said on Monday. The case is the latest in a series of legal battles that have pitted the French judicial system against the Scientologists, who could be forced to stop their activities in France if found guilty. The latest suit centers on a complaint made in 1998 by a woman who said she she was enrolled into the Church of Scientology by a group of people she met outside a metro station. In the following months, she said she paid 140,000 francs (21,340 euros) for 'purification packs' and books which she said were a fraud. … Judge Jean-Christophe Hullin ruled that the Scientologists' Celebrity Center, bookstore and seven Church leaders should be tried for fraud and 'illegally practicing as pharmacists'."

Oh. I see. CORD gets to say "p h a r m a c i s t." The rest of us don't. Wordpress is Commieist. That's right. Commieist.
Careful, Sarah. You don't know what they do to armacist-pha's once Wordpress catches them. I hear it's terrible. Some never come back.
i'm starting to feel like a loser cuz i dunno any scientologists and no one has ever tried to convert me :(
by all means, govts shld expose investigate and punish frauds but how stoopid was this woman to shell out that kinda money? wut a dumbass imo.
My ninth grade science teacher gave me a copy of Dianetics with a business card for the local center in it- I am dead serious. Boy if I knew then what I knew now about public schools…
Half of me feels that Scientology should be prosecuted, outlawed, taxed to death, etc. The other half apparently believes a little bit in social Darwinism, thinking that if people are stupid enough to pay $28,000 for something called 'purification packs', that's just their own damn fault.
I read this as "Prince Lashes Out at Scientology" and I thought "way to hit 'em square in the belt buckle, little man". Then I thought "How could he, considering he and Tom probably shop at the same lifts store". Then I said "what is Prince doing in France?". Time to up the ADD meds.
Yay! This is great news.
My first thought was - what one-named twit is going by the name France?
That's right. I'm a genius, people, a big big genius.
Geez, people who are dumb seem even dumber for going to court for their own mistakes. Hell I am gonna sue girl scouts for overinflation of cookies!
There is no point calling this woman 'stupid' or a 'dumb-ass' for giving them a large amount of money. They target fragile people - people with problems. It's up to society (i.e THE LAW) to stop this from happening … this woman was probably sucked in and couldn't help herself! Scientolgy has a shocking record!!
