Group linked to Scientology holds seminar

A controversial group linked to the Church of Scientology is to run a seminar in a leading hotel today, The Royal Gazette can reveal.
The conference was organised by Dee Pearson, a Bermudian, with her husband, Don.
A schedule for the seminar sent out around the island was accompanied by a booklet billed as a “non-religious moral code”, although it was written in 1980 by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.
The booklet, The Way to Happiness: a common sense guide to better living, features a satellite photograph of Bermuda on the front and the message “Our gift to you in Bermuda”.
Fine print on the back cover of the booklet distributed in Bermuda insists it is not connected to “any religious doctrine” and readers were encouraged on the first page to pass it around to “greatly enhance your own survival potential and theirs”.
The book’s 64 pages contain advice from “Take Care of Yourself” to “Don’t Do Anything Illegal”, and its text contains no specific references to Scientology.
But Scientology’s website said the booklet was produced by its International Dissemination and Distribution Centre in Los Angeles, California.

Couple deny link with Scientology
Jonathan Bell
A couple who posted 20,000 booklets on “the way to happiness” around the island this month insisted their motives were separate from the controversial Scientology movement.
Don and Dee Pearson, who said they financed the printing and mailing of the booklet, written in 1980 by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, plan to return in February to send out more copies of the booklet.
Mr Pearson admitted the couple were believers in Scientology. But he said: “We are not selling anything, we’re not trying to get anybody to do something for us.
“Dee said, this island has been very good to us, and if I ever get a chance, I want to give something back. Let’s see if we can share something valuable to us.”
Mr Pearson admitted that he would “probably not” have heard of the booklet, produced by Scientology-backed The Way to Happiness Foundation, if he had not joined the movement.
He encountered Dianetics, Hubbard’s belief system, decades ago as a student of psychology at California State University in Fresno.
He added: “If I wasn’t already interested in Dianetics, how would I have come across this?”
