A Study List for Life After Scientology

Your assumptions can be quite insidious. You must study the actual subjects that Hubbard “spun” for you – from sources completely independent from L Ron Hubbard – so as to challenge your own assumptions, separate out Hubbard’s installed ones, and inspect them for their weaknesses.

Beliefs vs. Facts

I’ve written about this before. But there is a whole lot to gain by continually reminding myself of what a fact is, vs what a belief is. Especially with regard to political and religious areas of my life.

Policing of social media & who you can & can't be friends with is completely normalized in #AntiCults too.

Chris can't see it because his loyalty blinds him to these behaviors common to #Cults & AntiCults.

Here's @sheltondesigner calling every member of a minority religion "mad".

Is this an attempt to dehumanize all adherents of a religion as dangerous & irrational?

Yes it is. Yet another one.

RIP Paul Adams

Hello all, I have just become aware that sadly, Paul Adams passed away in hospital two weeks ago after a sudden illness. Paul and I had somewhat lost touch over the past two or three years, but we used to be close and I'm aware he was very involved in this community, so I thought I'd check...

"The judicial system failed Kyle, but at that moment I realized we weren’t out of options. If the Church of Scientology expected us to limp away broken and beaten, they were sorely mistaken."

The Power of the Written Word

People don't realize that getting yourself into & out of a cult is one of the most valuable lessons in #CriticalThinking ever. People don't get that if you haven't experienced this, then you've never had your worldview collapse on you.

You've never picked yourself up from that.

The process of getting out of a 'Cult' is one of the most valuable experiences a human being can have.

Sure. Your whole life is ruined.

Sure, all your friends & business contacts abandon you.

How else will you find out what's important, and meaningful, in life?

If you got into a 'cult' to find out what life was all about, then getting out of a cult and being thrust back into Mainstream Society - with all it's guilt-tripping 'told-you-Sos!' - will teach you real quick.

The trick is not to learn too hard from that.

Remember who you are & who you were.

You're the same person you were before, during, and after the 'cult'.

Don't let mainstream society beat you out of your rebellious individualism.

Don't let them stop you from your search for a meaningful life.
