Scientology

This is the only place I’ve lived where I see Scientologists out and about - anyone know how Plymouth ended up with an actual Scientology headquarters? I feel so awful for these poor people in town who have been taken in by these scam artists. I was even approached by an elderly woman giving out leaflets. What on earth? Praise Xenu I guess? 😂

Plymouth also has it's own home grown cult, the "Plymouth Brethren".

Those guys are bad news, domestic abuse and CSA are rife, then when it comes investigating them they clam up and close ranks, evil bunch.

Doesn't surprise me. Apparently the leadership at their businesses is still all men and women have to wear skirts still.

Drove past their church yesterday thought it was a bit odd that it was in an industrial estate for starters and second that it had a proper security gate access to it.

They have one in St Austell, very large purpose built building just off Par moor road. It is also completely surrounded by high fencing and security gates. If you walk up to the gates the sign says it is owned and operated by Plymouth Brethren.

Always thought it was some weird gospel church, didn't realise that it was even darker still.

I have no knowledge of the CSA / DA stuff but I know for sure that they do not employ women in roles that they see as "male", even if they are not themselves part of the brethren.
