God and the Devil Walk Into a Bar
God and the Devil walk into a bar, sit down and order a beer. God says, “I think I’ll start a religion.” The Devil says, “Great idea. I’ll organize it.”

Thank You
Thank you to everyone who has worked to get the truth out about Scientology, and who helped to create justice for its victims. Alanzo
In Defense of David Miscavige
This is a post sent to me by another very smart commenter on the Post-Scientology Internet named “StatPush”. I think it provides a viewpoint on David Miscavige and the Church of Scientology that you don’t hear very often, and one that is valuable to consider. – Alanzo Note: “This article originally started out as a … Read more
Are These Some of L Ron Hubbard’s Sources for Scientology?
This is a guest post by the poster known as “Conan”, a frequent denizen of message boards and blogs on the Post-Scientology Internet. This post, for me, fits squarely into the category of “data of comparable magnitude” with which to evaluate the ideas in Scientology. – Alanzo The key to Hubbard’s bamboozle is the hiding … Read more

“Radical Corporate Scientology” Isn’t That Just Plain Ole “The Church of Scientology”?
A lot of really good discussions about Scientology take place in the comments section of Mike Rinder’s Blog.

To Fully Understand Scientology, You Can’t Use Scientology to Understand It
Sounds kind of circular, doesn’t it? Well it is. Most Scientologists are stuck in the circular trap of trying to use Scientology to understand Scientology. You can see them on the Internet, using an LRH reference to explain another LRH reference. For example: How do we know the reactive mind exists? Because we have engrams … Read more
How Big is Scientology – Really?
Mike Rinder posted a graphic which proves that the Church of Scientology lies to the world about their size, and the rate of their growth. They, in fact, are shrinking, while they tell the world, and the world’s media, that they are growing. Jefferson Hawkins of SkyHawk Studios created this graphic from statistical data that … Read more

What’s Good In Scientology: The Early Emphasis on “Present Time”

Paul Haggis on a Major Roll: Using Release of His New Movie to Pummel Scientology in the U.K.
Go Paul Haggis! This new article at the Mail Online is one of the best I’ve seen at exposing the fanaticism, criminality, and abuse that the Church of Scientology wages against people they consider their “enemies”. I have never seen a Hollywood player use their own good name and resources to warn the public about … Read more
Non-Confront of LRH Can Lead to Using Scientology to Harm Others
Here’s how: L Ron Hubbard wrote some very abusive technology meant to do others harm. He even taught Scientologists to never fear to hurt others in a “just cause”. Any time I see a group of Independent Scientologists who refuse to allow LRH to be criticized, and can not acknowledge legitimate criticism of LRH, I … Read more
Was L Ron Hubbard Perfect?
When a Scientologist leaves the Church of Scientology and sees the information on L Ron Hubbard’s real life outside the glossy brochures printed by the Church, internal conflicts result. These internal conflicts can swirl around questions like this: “How can this man – whose technology gave me so many spiritual wins and real advancements in … Read more
Church of Scientology Operation Snow White – From a Guy Who Was There

Fanaticism, Criminality, and Abuse in Scientology
Scientologists aren’t squirreling Scientology when they apply Fair Game to their “enemies”, they are applying 100% standard Scientology. Thus, I contend that all fanaticism, criminality, and abuse that comes from Scientologists, either in the Church or in the Independent field, stems directly from following the written words and taped lectures of L Ron Hubbard. If … Read more
Great Comments From the Post-Scientology Internet: “You’re Out Ethics”!
Great comments don’t have to be ones that I agree with. They just have to express their own viewpoint in a powerful way. This one came from Marty’s blog just a few days ago by the commenter: “Disappointed”. He does such a good job of expressing himself, his post needs no further intro from me: … Read more
Bob Adams of the Church of Scientology on “A Scientology Perspective on Bullying”
Scientology Bullying Bullying is a routine “handling” for people who Scientology perceives as “suppressive”. Bob Adams’ article is truly one of the most hypocritical things I think I have ever seen them lie about. It is truly Stalin and Kafka-esque. And here’s their Soviet-style propaganda piece, as if pulled from the pages of Pravda: Religion … Read more
