“I’m usually very skeptical about issues of censorship, but the Germans seem to have pretty sound judgment in that area.”

“I know how the Scientologists feel. For years, my people have been persecuted for our spiritual belief in magical ’pyramid schemes.’”
Kirstie Lattimore • Legal Secretary
“I think if Germany and Scientology could just sit down and get to know each other, they’d find they’re not as different as they think.”
Tad Gregory • Systems Analyst
“I was persecuted in Germany. Not because I was a Scientologist, though. It was because I broke some shit.”
Jon Orson • Podiatrist
“Scientologists are being persecuted, and it’s an outrage! I had to say that, or they’ll reveal I’m gay.”
