This is an essay contributed by Brian Lambert. An interesting topic for sure, and one of the things hammered in by Miscavige. If you have never read Hubbard's writing of this title, there is a link at the bottom of the article. I suggest you read the document as this essay will not make a lot of sense without reading what Hubbard wrote. Also, it is important to note that the other thing hammered in by Miscavige along with Responsibility of Leaders is "Keeping Scientology Working" -- the demand that Hubbard's words, and his alone, be followed to the letter. While some will … [Read more...]

Love and Compassion in Scientology
Another provocative essay from our old friend Terra Cognita. Love and Compassion in Scientology Love and compassion have always been given short shrift within the walls of Scientology. In fact, they’re rarely exhibited, almost as if they’re signs of weakness and not worthy of expression. Shakespeare said, “To be wise and love, Exceeds man’s might.” The church should pay attention. The Dalai Lama said, “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” Scientology would do well to follow his advice. Compassion Showing compassion for … [Read more...]
Scientology/North Korea
A reader sent this to me the other day and I found it fascinating. The parallels between North Korea and scientology are unmistakeable. Below are excerpts from the article. I highlighted especially relevant sections. They need no explanation to anyone familiar with scientology's playbook that dictates how they must respond to "critics." Scientology is as clumsy and unbelievable as N. Korea in its denunciation of defectors. It's amusing to see: it seems everyone who leaves N. Korea or scientology is some form of sexual pervert, has stolen money or is being paid to say bad things about … [Read more...]
Scientology Lies — New Years’ Edition
Finally had a few minutes to peruse the latest International Scientology News recounting the epic, milestone New Years event. As usual, it is filled with hype, smoke, mirrors and lies. Just a few of the most glaring: This page is the "overview" of the magnificent accomplishments of 2016: 37 million "walked through our doors"? That is a ridiculous number. But let's take it at face value. Scientology claims "more than" 10,000 scientology "orgs, missions and associated groups" -- this means 3700 people each per YEAR. Or 10 per day. An average of 10 people per day darken … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Cause over the drug scene in Denver You do know that marijuana is legal there right? Mighty My Mammy 6 weeks to glory! Seriously, backlogged filing completed is "glory"? Fun goody bags Is this a kid's birthday party? Not so mighty? Even with Flag "doing it" and Nobbe's goody bags, 211,000 names in CF and all those 1970's letters from Ron about how great you are - you can manage only 24 people to help out on the most important project in the history of the universe? And where ARE Grant and Elena Cardone? There's … [Read more...]
New Scientology Lies
You may have seen this Los Angeles Times article mentioned on Tony Ortega's blog yesterday. A lone outlier precinct in Hollywood voted for Trump -- the precinct that has half its registered voters living in "Big Blue." So what is the lie? “The Church does not engage in election activities and cannot do so,” Scientology spokeswoman Karin Pouw said in an emailed statement. “Such decisions are not a matter of faith. The Creed of the Church makes clear that Scientology is open to all. This would include anyone regardless of their race, color, creed or political affiliation.” Well, let's … [Read more...]
“Fastest-Growing Religion in the 21st Century” UK Edition
More evidence that the "fastest-growing religion" is a sad lie. This time from the "home of L. Ron Hubbard" - the scientology headquarters in England at St. Hill. This was a "national" event for the most important activity in the scientology world -- fundraising for "ideal orgs." Here is where the UK stands on the "ideal org strategy" after 13 years. One ideal org in London -- bought by IAS. For ALL of London. CC London closed down. Buildings in Plymouth, Manchester, Birmingham and Sunderland that have stood empty for years as they do not have any funds to renovate them. Nothing … [Read more...]
Denver “Ideal” Org – The Lie of “Expansion”
Here is the REAL story about an "Ideal Org." These buildings are what scientology inform the world is "proof" of their massive international expansion. The hype is that "ideal orgs" "expand 10X". They are STILL circulating this poster. Denver had its ribbon yanked in 2012. Nearly 5 YEARS ago now. Miscavige claims that THIS is the strategy to make all orgs the size of old St Hill. First they have to be made "ideal." And then their "straight up and vertical" "10X" expansion begins. And they never look back. Oops -- Denver just let the cat out of the bag. Five years later, … [Read more...]
Human Rights?
In isolation this is certainly a worthwhile cause. In the context of it being another scientology front group, raising yet more money to restore human rights, it is horrible. If you read this it talks about villages in India being "enslaved" through "fabricated debt, intimidation, isolation and denied education." Anne, Donna and Vanessa, here's a clue: you don't need to look on the other side of the world. Anne, you especially HAVE been to the Gold Base in unincorporated Riverside County (not Hemet). If you care to LOOK, you will find: Fabricated debt -- your own … [Read more...]
