Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
The hardest thing for a human being to understand is someone else’s “cult”.
Many never-ins have been told, over and over, in many different ways, that you don’t need to understand a “cult” because it is an illegitimate group, with illegitimate beliefs and practices, that are just crazy.
As a Never-In you have no idea how much harm you are doing to a vulnerable Ex, whose whole way of making sense of the world has collapsed on them, when you shove that attitude down their throats.
I’m a long time Ex.
I have some lessons for you on how to help an Ex, and how not to harm them.
Robert Vaughn Young preceded Rinder as the head of Dirty Tricks. He left Scientology in the 90’s and contributed some of the best critical writing on Scientology. He died of cancer in 2003.
Mike Rinder was the head of the Office of Special Affairs for 22yrs under David Miscavige. LRH gave explicit orders to dupe & take over anyone who opposed them.
I’ve been in anti-Scientology for 25 years. And I have watched its complete impotence displayed over and over that whole time.
Less than 2yrs after the launch of Dianetics & 2yrs before Scientology was founded, Hubbard gave this lecture. It’s clearly his purpose for creating Dianetics & Scientology & everything after
Statement by the ostensible Scientology “critic” Tony Ortega: “As we began reading “Lonesome Squirrel,” we realized that some of the people named in it have, 20 years later, come out of the church. So we reached out to them and they confirmed for us that nothing in the book associated with them actually happened. “Lonesome … Read more

Adopting the beliefs of the anti-cult movement dramatically changes the views and attitudes of those who experience a loss of faith. Those changes have a profound effect on how Exes make sense of their own past. So we must ask: How helpful is the ideology of the anti cult movement in making sense of your life?
My criticism of Nora Ames that I made last year on her LIVE, which she courageously put up on her screen, where I said that I thought she was a “Fake Critic of Scientology” I’ve now cancelled. Before that incident, I had every reason to believe it. She’d spent more than a decade covering up … Read more
One of the things that no one seems to be talking about in the incredibly craptastic social media based “Scientology Community” is that all those books by L Ron Hubbard pictured above – the Technical Volumes (red) and the Organizational Executive Course volumes (green) – are no longer for sale and are not available to … Read more
As a former producer on Rinder and Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath TV show, Nora Ames makes a stunning set of admissions that shows just how much she’s been covering up for Mike Rinder
Paris Cashin, who often appears as a smart and supportive commenter in many Ex-Scientologists’ youtube channels, threw me a softball question the other day. Paris Cashin appeared in comments when I first started up and she was incredibly supportive of me. Not so much any more because “she supports women”, and I guess that means … Read more
New video released today. TRANSCRIPT: This is Alanzo with AlanzosBlog.com. I was 16 years in Scientology 15 years in anti Scientology. And now I have been 9 years out of both. This Month is Alanzo’s 40th Year Since Walking Into Scientology at 23 I used to say eight, but July 2024 is the 40th anniversary … Read more
Behavior Control, Information Control, Thought Control, Emotion Control – where have we seen this before? “Serasaurus”, who is a fellow Opus Dei-Level Catholic with the colossally hypocritical Stefani Hutchison, censors the discussion of Aaron Smith Levin in her sub – even though the sub is entirely devoted to discrediting him. No disagreement is allowed. No … Read more
The Church of Scientology’s shore story on the death of Kyle Brennan continues to be run on social media in order to block the truth of what happened. But are they OSA Agents who are running these shore stories? Or are they “trusted” Anti-Scientologists?
Aaron Smith Levin has admitted that two victims of Scientology child rape have been keeping themselves silent for YEARS for “the greater good” of his position on the board of the Aftermath Foundation. This makes me sick to my stomach.
REPOSTED 31 JANUARY 2024. ORIGINALLY POSTED SEPTEMBER 2017 – RIGHT AFTER THIS EPISODE FEATURING MIRIAM FRANCIS & SAINA KAMULA AIRED. I’ve been asking these questions for 7 years. Still no answers from Mike Rinder.
In late 2007 the media had all been shuddered into silence by Marty Mike and Dave. The only way to expose Scientology was by personal risk, by one’s self, on the Internet. Then the Anonymous collective arrived.
William Gude of the Scientology_Audit YouTube channel wants to END someone else’s religion. I’m sorry, that’s what Nazis do. And I will be opposing that.
In this video on my youtube channel, I respond to Aaron Smith Levin’s religious persecution of elderly Scientologists on the streets of Clearwater. I strongly oppose this behavior. And I say why.
Go into detail on the evidence at the scene, the lying by Clearwater police, Kyle’s father Tom Brennan, David Miscavige’s sister Denise Miscavige, and just some of the horrific things Victoria Britton has had to endure. Find out what David Miscavige, the Clearwater Police, the Pinellas County Judicial system, and even some “Anti-Scientologists” don’t want you to know. This interview gives you the information you need on the death of Kyle Brennan.
