Who is behind a presentation in Erfenbach
Erfenbach, Germany
by Anne-Susann von Ehr
"Say No to Drugs - say Yes to Life" - those are the
words used to advertise for a "free presentation" in
Erfenbach. The leaflet is being distributed in places
which include social institutions in Kaiserslautern. At
first glance there is nothing on it which indicates that it
is about a Scientology event.
According to the leaflet, the presentation on Saturday
afternoon is to explain "what drugs do" and "what it
means to be physically and mentally free from drugs
..." Afterwards "about two hours for a special
question and answer session on specific problems" is
scheduled. Site of the event is the Kapellenhof
Gasthaus in Erfenbach. Answering questions for
discussion and taking (requested pre-)registration is
Inge Geib. "Inge Geib is listed in the 1994 'Impact'
magazine as a patron," we were notified by
Christoph Bussen, the sect commissioner of Speyer
Diocese. The title of "Patron" is bestowed only upon
those who have paid at least 40,000 dollars into
Scientology's "war chest."
Marc Metzger, who is giving the presentation, is also
a professed Scientologist. "I am a Scientologist and
support religious tolerance," he welcomes visitors to
his home page, on which he describes his personal
and business success "with Scientology." The groups
which he says he supports include drug-therapy
initiative "Narconon," which is one of Scientology's
"cover organizations." Scientology has been under
surveillance by Constitutional Security since the end
of the 1990s.
The Baden-Wuerttemberg Health Department has
been warning people about the "Say No to Drugs -
Say Yes to Life" and "Narconon" for at least seven
years. People are urgently warned from attempting to
use "Narconon" to withdraw from drugs because the
"Narconon" self-help initiative's "decontamination and
habit-breaking program are based on Scientology's
pseudo-scientific theories and techniques." Caution is
also advised when dealing with the "Narconon"
initiative, which, according to the health department,
"under the guise of social-humanitarian aspects has in
mind, besides the dissemination of Scientology
ideology, introducing drug-dependent people into 'Narconon.'"
