What’s Good In Scientology: The Early Emphasis on “Present Time”
These ideas, and the Scientology processes that were given to me to manage my own moods were a revelation in my life. They worked like a bomb.

Paul Haggis on a Major Roll: Using Release of His New Movie to Pummel Scientology in the U.K.
Go Paul Haggis! This new article at the Mail Online is one of the best I’ve seen at exposing the fanaticism, criminality, and abuse that the Church of Scientology wages against people they consider their “enemies”. I have never seen a Hollywood player use their own good name and resources to warn the public about … Read more
Non-Confront of LRH Can Lead to Using Scientology to Harm Others
Here’s how: L Ron Hubbard wrote some very abusive technology meant to do others harm. He even taught Scientologists to never fear to hurt others in a “just cause”. Any time I see a group of Independent Scientologists who refuse to allow LRH to be criticized, and can not acknowledge legitimate criticism of LRH, I … Read more
Was L Ron Hubbard Perfect?
When a Scientologist leaves the Church of Scientology and sees the information on L Ron Hubbard’s real life outside the glossy brochures printed by the Church, internal conflicts result. These internal conflicts can swirl around questions like this: “How can this man – whose technology gave me so many spiritual wins and real advancements in … Read more
Church of Scientology Operation Snow White – From a Guy Who Was There
Remote-Viewed is a frequent poster on the MileStone 2 blog, as well as Mike Rinder’s blog and a few others around the Post-Scientology Internet. He has a view all his own. He is in the middle of telling his story as a member of the infamous Guardian’s Office in the 1970’s during the Church of … Read more
Fanaticism, Criminality, and Abuse in Scientology
Scientologists aren’t squirreling Scientology when they apply Fair Game to their “enemies”, they are applying 100% standard Scientology. Thus, I contend that all fanaticism, criminality, and abuse that comes from Scientologists, either in the Church or in the Independent field, stems directly from following the written words and taped lectures of L Ron Hubbard. If … Read more
Great Comments From the Post-Scientology Internet: “You’re Out Ethics”!
Great comments don’t have to be ones that I agree with. They just have to express their own viewpoint in a powerful way. This one came from Marty’s blog just a few days ago by the commenter: “Disappointed”. He does such a good job of expressing himself, his post needs no further intro from me: … Read more
Bob Adams of the Church of Scientology on “A Scientology Perspective on Bullying”
Scientology Bullying Bullying is a routine “handling” for people who Scientology perceives as “suppressive”. Bob Adams’ article is truly one of the most hypocritical things I think I have ever seen them lie about. It is truly Stalin and Kafka-esque. And here’s their Soviet-style propaganda piece, as if pulled from the pages of Pravda: Religion … Read more
Great Comments From the Post-Scientology Internet – UDARNIK from ESMB
This one, from Udarnik at ESMB, caught my eye today. Udarnik wrote: “Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal. – Robert A. Heinlein “I once had an argument with a Tea Partier about whether the Founders meant to establish Christianity in the US. When I used Jefferson’s quote about complete rejection … Read more
A History of Scientology Criticism: 1995’s Scientology vs. The Internet
This article appeared in 1995 and documents some of the history of Scientology, Ex-Scientologists and Critics using the Internet to warn the public about the dangers of Scientology. It documents the major role that the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology played in the early days of dissent against Scientology and some of the events and people involved. This … Read more
Raid on the Church of Scientology by the Food and Drug Administration
Most Scientologists only know L Ron Hubbard’s side of this case, as they read all the issues he put out to them as part of his PR handling. From this, Scientologists have images of jack-booted government thugs storming peaceful churches with “guns drawn” and hauling away E-Meters, which were only innocent “religious artifacts”. Hubbard’s narrative … Read more
Rathbun’s “Scientology Sandbox” on the Post-Scientology Internet
Marty wrote a post on his blog recently that is a throwback, or maybe even a backslide, to his earlier days. It’s here: The Scientology Sandbox In this post, he once again tries to create a “reasonable middle ground” which he proposes that he occupies. Everyone he disagrees with, however, seems to exist on the … Read more
The Ethical Dissemination of Scientology
L Ron Hubbard made many claims for Clear and OT which have never once come to pass for any of the people who paid tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, to achieve them. Many of them have quit and tried to warn others, only to be shunned and even attacked in various … Read more
The Bottom Line on Scientology
If you are a highly trained OT in Scientology, you should be able to use logic and reason to defend it. So many trained OTs can not defend Scientology rationally. In fact in 18 years of looking I have found less than a handful, and none of them are in the Church. They have all … Read more
Post Traumatic Growth: How to Heal After Scientology
There is a change about 3 minutes in to the video that reveals just how profound it really is. Post Traumatic Growth is what it’s all about. Isn’t it?
Is ESMB Good for Ex-Scientologists?
The Ex Scientologist Message Board used to be a therapeutic place for Exes to talk to others about their time in Scientology. Not any more, it’s made up of paranoid sociopaths whose brains have been rutted by destructive habits. They are actually worse than Scientologists now.
Don’t Let Your Struggle….
It can sometimes happen to an Ex-Scientologist that they feel responsible for the abuses that Scientology perpetuates on others, even though they themselves had no part in those abuses, and could not stop them even if they tried. In some cases, they may have even tried to stop the abuses, but could not. And yet … Read more
Recovery From Scientology: What is That, Exactly?
I hear people talking about recovering from Scientology. What does that mean? Is there an “End Phenomenon” to that? I have definitely changed quite a bit since getting out of Scn 13 years ago. At first I was terrified that I would lose everything. That was stupid: All I lost was my job, all my … Read more
Undercover as an OSA Agent, Part 2
After unpacking my bags in my room, I sat down at the little round table next to the window and looked out onto the parking lot. People were streaming in to the front doors of the hotel below me. Just 30 days earlier, we had gotten word that CAN had elected a new Executive Director. … Read more
