Church moves to defend itself against 'attackers - 1980-01-09

The Church of Scientology has a persecution complex.
It apparently was born with it.
The church was founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. A biographical sketch supplied by the church states that Hubbard devised the basic doctrine of his religion while recovering from World War II injuries in a naval hospital.
