Critical Thinking on Cults & AntiCults
Season three of my show is dedicated to the IRS and their ‘religious’ tax-exempt status. ‘Hey, call yourself a religion – I don’t give a f**k! They should NOT have tax-exempt status.
Yesterday, in the comments section of my blog, I provided the link to a post that Marty Rathbun wrote in December of 2009 about his wordpress blog account being hacked. That post was written four months after Marty and “collero’s” email exchanges. And if Marty’s wordpress.com blog was hacked, that means the hackers got his … Read more
Was this announcement a lie that Mike and Leah and Tony cooked up for the public? I believe so. There are other reasons those new episodes were pulled.
The video above – a tweet that is presently pinned to the top of Freedom Media and Ethics Twitter profile – features an edited snippet, taken out of context, where Marty Rathbun is discussing what went on behind the scenes with Paul Haggis, Lawrence Wright, Alex Gibney and others in producing Going Clear, the book and the movie.
After Ep. 7 of Season 1 Scientology & The Aftermath viewer stats went into the Toilet. But the last 3 episodes show a weak rise.
A Scientology World would look just like this: They would be able to dictate every book that you could read, every movie that you could watch, and every thought that you could think. The Hollywood Reporter, 9/18/2015: Florida Theater Drops Scientology Film ‘Going Clear’ After Pressure From Church “Clearwater, Florida is home of the world … Read more
No one really thinks that Tony Ortega is unbiased and objective and tells all sides of the truth in his reporting on Scientology, do they?
One thing to remember about Tony Ortega – even he doesn’t consider himself an unbiased, objective journalist on the subject of Scientology.
If I were to pinpoint exactly when my disillusionment began with Scientology watching, I’d have to say the seed was planted with the Going Clear premiere.
There is a point at which this metaphor becomes an exercise in thought-stopping: A person accepts it as an explanation for why Scientologists do what they do in the way that Larry and other anti-Scientologists describe, and that’s all you need to know. It seems to explain everything when, in fact, it explains very little.
When I was first getting out of Scientology around 13 years ago, I was talking to an ex-Scientologist who worked at the Lisa McPherson Trust. She received phone calls and emails from people getting out of Scientology all day long at her job there. I told her that one of the things I’m struggling with … Read more
I learned that someone – not Church OSA – was taking creepy screenshots of everything I write on my blog, like every day, multiple times per day.
As an hysterical anti-Scientology troll, Tony Ortega is loving the present environment. It’s an environment where, once any accusation has been made, it must be true. Even the position of “I don’t know – I wasn’t there” means you are violating the accuser and raping them again. So, in this environment, Tony’s business of creating … Read more
David Miscavige’s brother Ron Miscavige was part of Int Management until he disappeared. No one has even asked about him since. Where is Ron Miscavige?
I tweeted this out today. For 8 yrs, @MikeRinder's operated on the #Scientology Bean Theory of Truth & Reconciliation:For every bean I spend, I get more in return. — Alanzo (@AlanzosBlog) March 29, 2017 It's time for @MikeRinder to stop spending beans, and to start spilling them. Address the Old Guard #scientology critics you have … Read more
Mainstream society can’t claim to have all the answers for everybody. If we claim to be a free society, why do we de-legitimize & dehumanize those who join our subcultures?
Are we just being prestidigitated away from the truth of what happened in this meeting with the attorneys? Are we, with kitten brains, just pouncing at the red dot on the wall?
Gerry has an interesting viewpoint on Jon Atack and Chris Shelton’s allegiance and mutual promotional efforts of each other. ” I do not mean that Mr. Shelton’s arrogance or narcissism is a concern to him, but should be a concern to people who might look to him for guidance or tout his humility. Perhaps you … Read more
Militant AntiScientologist John McGhee becomes enraged and physically assaults female Scientologist on the street in Dublin, Ireland.
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.
