[Justin Aamir Adkins and the Flag Building, where his Scientology career was upended]
We had a remarkable conversation yesterday with a 48-year-old Stone Mountain, Georgia man named Justin Aamir Adkins.
On Monday, Adkins filed a 45-page complaint — with exhibits included — to begin a federal lawsuit against the Church of Scientology International; Scientology’s Flag Service Organization (FSO) which runs the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida; the Church of Scientology of Georgia; and a former Executive Director of Scientology’s Atlanta org.
Adkins is representing himself.
In the suit, he describes that he was a staffer at Scientology’s Atlanta org in 2015 (before it moved and went “Ideal” two years later) and that he had traveled to Scientology’s spiritual headquarters, the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, for advanced training that would help him do his job in Atlanta. But while he was at Flag, he experienced racial discrimination that derailed his Scientology career.
The proof he offers is that he was held back while a colleague of his seeking the same advancement, a white man named David Gentile, was not.
Yes, that David Gentile, the New York Scientologist who was convicted in 2024 of running a $1.6 billion Ponzi-like fraud scheme, but was granted clemency by the White House last year after serving only twelve days of his seven-year prison sentence.
Meanwhile, Adkins today runs his own Scientology organization in Georgia that he calls “Grace Covenant Community Fellowship,” and he’s also a member of the Nation of Islam.
