Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
AntiCults exist for every Cult.
An out-group of people who were former members of any religion, or minority religion, have always existed to protest their former religious or spiritual belief.
They have simply come to realize a loss of faith.
That loss of faith is colossally disorienting. All people use their ideology or belief system to make sense of the world. So when your sense-making system collapses on you, you feel a certain sense of fuckness for a short, or a long, while.
AntiCults exist where people take up the AntiCult Ideology, mostly promulgated by Lifton and Hassan.
Influenced by anticultism, they deny their own choices made to get involved in their own previous religious pursuit and turn all those personal decisions into things they were ‘brainwashed’ to believe against their will and consent.
AntiCults must be critically examined, and questioned, as closely as Cults.
1st in a series on the Ex-Scientologist Message Board, one of the most effective hotbeds of Scientology criticism in its day, and thoroughly obliterated by Mike Rinder et al AFTER they ‘left’ Scientology.
I answered a poll that Anthony RR Mills created on his youtube channel, and I wrote a comment in response to this. Anthony answered my comment. This is my response to him.
Doug Scott Kramer and his YouTube Channel, Dazed But Not Confuzed, was/is very popular with thousands of people who follow the goings-on of Scientology, Anti-Scientology, Cults and AntiCults. When Doug didn’t show up for a … Read more

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Gerry Armstrong details the emails he has received from an anonymous person signaling that his Scientology FairGaming continues, ongoing now for 45 years. Where is the hero Mike Rinder? NOWHERE.
In this video, Mike Rinder omits vital information for understanding the history of Scientology Fair Game. And Leah Remini, for her own self-serving reasons, let’s him do it.
An Online Poll Was Conducted asking if Mike Rinder has redeemed himself. Now 77% of respondents say NO.
Apparently, Karen de la Carriere and Jeffrey Augustine have a history of purchasing Scientology critic properties on the Internet and shutting them down. This is first in a series.
One of the most illuminating – and frustrating – things about Celebrity Anti-Scientology is its information control, who and what you can and can’t talk about. Corey Andrews wants to talk about Kyle Brennan.
Now that Aaron Smith Levin is no longer friends with Mike Rinder, will the light between them bring more objectivity and intellectual honesty to his Youtube Channel? Here’s hoping that it does.
Aaron Smith Levin goes into detail about the woman he ‘hooked up’ with for 3 nights in LA. He names her, calls her crazy, and makes claims about her institutional history. He cites how Leah Remini called her crazy, too. Nice. No wonder he’s not on the board of a charitable foundation any more.
Anti-Scientologists who were never in Scientology have a long row to hoe if they hope to be accurate in their criticisms of Scientology. I provide the lessons you need here at AlanzosBlog.
Celebrity Anti-Scientology has hit a new low in discrediting its critics, and those who expose their depravity & lies. Aaron Smith Levin has a new name for it: Radical Transparency.
Radical Transparency is a concept Aaron Smith Levin learned in a business book he once read. He BLASTS it to the stars in this wide-ranging interview where he appears to answer all questions anyone could possibly have.
Two legendary old guard critics, who remain mostly quiet these days, comment on Mike Rinder, Aaron Smith Levin and the Aftermath Foundation.
Elizabeth Gale and Cassie Marie discuss the problems of the Aftermath Foundation which have been simmering for a long time, and which we have recently seen explode. These two break it down.
Marc Headley publishes personal email he sent to Aaron Smith Levin to show us all how much he cares. Someone sincerely comments with very constructive criticism for what they think they’re watching.
