Scientology
Do they have much of a presence here?
They have a branch office up in Auckland at the former Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design building in Grafton, the last census counted 321 Scientologists although they claim to have 3000-5000 followers here. So they dont have much of a presence here, but still too much

Even 300 is too many, although there are worse options.
Just out of curiosity what out there could be worse? Scientology are pretty evil, cant think of any worse myself
Destiny church are a scary bunch, and beyond that there's the more murdery groups such as the Manson family.
