Alanzo’s Scientology Criticism

A lot of anti-Scientologists who haven’t been around for very long accuse Alanzo of never criticizing Scientology. They say he only criticizes Anti-Scientologists for all their tribalism and cruelty.

Yet Alanzo has been one of the most prolific and productive critics of the Church of Scientology in the last 20 years. And he has the real OSA fair game scars to prove it.

Alanzo finds he has to constantly repeat himself because no one who is around now knows who Alanzo is. Most of the rest of the old guard Scientology critics have drifted off or died.

I guess this happens to everyone who gets old.

This page is a collection of all of Alanzo’s criticism of:

the Church of Scientology,
Scientology technology,
David Miscavige,
Mike Rinder,
Marty Rathbun,
L. Ron Hubbard,
and Tom Cruise,

And these are just the blog posts he’s written criticizing Scientology. There is at least 5 times more criticism of Scientology, in terms of word count, on message boards around the Internet.

This collection of Alanzo’s Scientology criticism is presently over 130 posts. It will continue to grow.

So next time someone tells you that Alanzo only criticizes Anti-Scientologists, give them the link to this page.

If you were not abused in Scientology, and you say so in the various social media platforms on the Internet, then you can be accused of being heartless to those who were. A common way to avoid that is to forget your own viewpoint and to take up other peoples’ problems of abuse as your … Read more

Another excellent discussion over on Mike Rinder’s blog prompted me to post this solution to the endless tribal warfare between “spiritualists” and “scientists”. Although I almost always disagree with her, Marildi, once again does an admirable job making her case. As well as Eclipse-Girl, Roger Hornaday, and the rest. _____________________________________ marildi says June 17, 2015 … Read more

Criticizing Scientology: What Exactly is Criticism?

by
No Criticism

Ever since October of 1950, when Dr. Joseph Winter publicly left the burgeoning Dianetic movement and wrote a book called “A Doctor’s Report on Dianetics“, L Ron Hubbard had a problem: Books like that made his stats crash. People who were involved in Dianetics, or the families and friends of those involved, would read these … Read more
