Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
Charles Lakes was the Number 1 qualifier for the US Olympic Gymnastic Team in ’88. He used Scientology to do it. How do I know? Because I helped him.
I thought Tony Ortega was a champion protector of women and girls? How could that be if he condones child prostitution and endorses adult prostitution?
Lots of important work by Critics of Scientology is being lost to time. I, for one, refuse to let this one die.
Remember: Just when you thought you’d seen it all, you realize that you haven’t. Scientology is always worse than you think.
This week’s episode of The Leftovers on HBO went in a direction that was very close to home for me, and probably would be for a lot of people here. Last Season, The Leftovers was a series which had a cult in it, but it wasn’t really about the cult until this week. This week, … Read more
Sheeple. An actual mathematical formula for them. I’m not kidding. I think Carl Sagan wrote about it once: Ask Neil Degrasse Tyson. It describes a fundamental property of all human groups: not just Scientists and Scientologists. As social animals, human beings set up rules, both tacit and expressed, to coordinate their efforts in pursuit of … Read more
The Reich is askew, yawing badly. All but the most delusional have abandoned ship. The Dwarfenführur launders his own soiled underwear today.
Scientology, as created and maintained by L Ron Hubbard, seeks to take over and dictate every thing that the Scientologist thinks and feels. If you were ever a fervent, KSW believing Scientologist, then you probably adopted Scientology to do your thinking and feeling for you. As a result, you may have had difficulty dismantling this … Read more
Alanzo on August 29, 2015 at 8:41 pm said: I think the discussion here is interesting, but as long as you are using Scientology to think with, you will never get out of its trap. I wrote this on the BackinCommBlog, and they actually let it through!
Never has there been better news for a free society: The above was taken from a Google Trends search on the search term “scientology”. Even an OEC/FEBC Grad can read the writing on this wall.
John Travolta spoke out against Alex Gibney’s documentary “Going Clear” on Scientology yesterday, as was reported in the Tampa Bay Times.
Here’s an important quote from the Tampa Bay Times article which shows how Travolta, as a Scientologist, thinks about it
I think this is some very interesting reasoning, actually:
Scientology Tax Exempt? It was summer of 2010, which in the upside down world of Australia, means that summertime is the coldest time of their year. Yes, Australians are upside down and topsy-turvy, but in July of 2010, one Senator Nick Xenophon was getting something exactly right. He was using the power of his office … Read more
Yesterday, on February 22nd, Lana Mitchell of Milestone2 blog, wrote a post about “criminal and out-ethics” types who have come to her for help with Scientology technology and no progress was made with them. So instead of seeing that the tech did not work in those instances, she dismisses these people as criminals. Lana is … Read more
Stephen Jones (Axiom 142) vs George Baillie, a Scientology OT8, meet on the Street in East Grinstead. This is the epic result.
The best, most succinct description of Scientology auditing ever by Dr. John Gordon Clark of Harvard Medical School: “Auditing is a simple, thoroughly designed means, of concentrating the mind to the state of a controlled trance.’ “The aim and result is progressively to enforce loyalty to and identification with Scientology to the detriment of one’s … Read more
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.”
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
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
The communication skills that Scientology teaches can be used to understand even critics of Scientology, and other with whom you disagree. Even your most vicious enemies.
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
