A neighbor and her husband moved out of Clearwater 6 years ago because Scientology had absolutely infected and taken over the town and its politics.
My brother and his boss were involved in the Scientology v Lisa McPherson case and both had bodyguards for 2+ years. Scientologists are VERY scary people. I think it's Germany which has banned the practice of that religion in their country.
Germany did ban the practice of Scientology.
