[Posted to alt.religion.scientology November 21st 1998:] Good news from Norway: The biggest newspaper in Norway (VG) has a two page article called "Scientology SECRET PRICELIST" today. The article is also available on their web page: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=36736 The article is about how member often contract a debt in the sect. Also have a section about Magen Berge (with picture) who won a lawsuit against the CoS in Norway some time back. Their "information secretary" (read OSA) Mathias Fosse is also interviewed: "- I'm sick and tired of the media fuss about money. The public has no right to know what people give or don't give to the Church of Scientology. The prices themselves say nothing. Some Scientologists only use some hundred kroner, other use thousands, others again may use one hundred thousand, Fosse says. - You have had to pay money back to several former members? - The settlements we have made is old snow fallen from ten years back, and when it comes to the lawsuit we lost, was that miscarriage of justice. Fosse says. Fosse refuces to inform how big turnover CoS has in Norway."
