Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
For the 2nd time in months, I personally & politely asked Marty Rathbun how that email ended up in the hands of Scientology attorneys. He never answered.
Why have Tony Ortega’s followers, such as Chris Shelton, flipped from not trusting psych’s at all to now never questioning anything they say or do?
After leaving the Church of Scientology, seek to live with the truth. I’ve concluded you can’t seek to live with the truth in a group of Anti-Cultists.
Anti-Scientologists reduce their own cognitive dissonance the same way Scientologists do – by remaining blind to what they say and do to their “enemies”.
I am eternally grateful to Rathbun & Rinder for what they’ve done. They’ve paid their “debt” for any wrongdoing. What their life must have been like. I wouldn’t trade places. Would you?
There is no substitute for being willing to see things from someone else’s perspective when you are in a disagreement or dispute with them.
Geir Isene, Ex-Scientologist extraordinaire, talks to Aaron Smith Levin about his journey through Scientology and Ex-Scientology, and out the other side.
The WAN “Wall Of Fire” copyright 2018 Here’s the last few frames. It’s in French, which is a little rusty for me these days. Can anyone translate it? Something about John Sweeney….. Would love to get the lyrics to this song, too.
This is an example of only one exchange I had on the Marty Rathbun Scientology blog back in 2010, when he was the leader of the second Independent Scientology Movement, and Mike Rinder was helping to moderate, mostly in the background.

Karen de la Carrier, the former “Queen of Scientology”, tries to suppress criticism of Tony Ortega by deeming it “OSA Program”. Should we all just get in line and do what we’re told now?
In response to seeing Janet Weiland’s name and face again on ESMB after an excellent write up from Fred G. Haseney, detailing how Janet Weiland is trying to get him evicted from his home in LA for criticizing the Church of Scientology, the poster who goes by the name “Sheila” wrote this about her experiences … Read more
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?
Remember: Just when you thought you’d seen it all, you realize that you haven’t. Scientology is always worse than you think.
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
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
