Something Can Be Done About It

L. Ron Hubbard on the Christianity “Cult”

By

Here is another quote from L. Ron Hubbard expressing thoughts about Christianity: “It’s an interesting thing that there exists on Earth a cult which believes a hundred percent that it has the only god there is in this universe. And this is quite an interesting thing. See, this is terribly interesting. Anybody who says he has a total monopoly on all there is of something, which you can’t weigh, see or measure, is suspect. Christianity’s gain in the world and its departure from its own announced principles were in the main in the direction of control…It is not even a major group today in Europea … [Read more...]

Scientology Internal Hype

By

Scientology is hyping a new link and video that purports to tell the world about their astonishing accomplishments. But really it is designed for the sheeple inside the bubble to convince them all is well in the world of Miscavigology. They spew out numbers that are unverifiable and are only accepted at face value by their own people and perhaps a few gullible individuals who want to hear that scientology will get them votes. I'm going to comment on some of this and I took some screenshots of notable things. Of course, "millions" have already watched this propaganda, including 16 new … [Read more...]

Documented Way to Happiness Campaign Fail

By

I think scientologists are losing braincells with each WTH booklet they distribute. Lydia Hopwood is announcing "proof" of the effectiveness of handing out WTH booklets and attaches statistics from the LA PD as "evidence".... Unfortunately, what she attaches proves the exact opposite (but is a great illustration of how scientology creates the illusion they are "helping the world" as I describe below). If it were the WTH booklets that caused the reduction in violent crime in the Foothill area, then what is being done in Pacific/Southwest/West LA as that is apparently far more … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

By

  We see the start of the Christmas promotion this week. Scientology loves to partake in the psychiatrically implanted ritual surrounding the birth of "the man on the cross"... It's pretty weird. But anything to try to get people to come into their empty buildings.   AO Africa hiring staff for Class V orgs? Huh?   About as NON-scientology as you can get It's a bunch of dilettantes.   Blast from the past... Wow, Bobby Wiggins is still trying to make a living from IAS commissions.   It's very gentle and easy... You don't have to mention … [Read more...]

The First Clear Country

By

You heard it here first. The First Clear Country is going to be the United States, according to ASHO. This is the organization that was created SOLELY to deliver the Briefing Course and Power Processing. They haven't had a Briefing Course for 20 years, since Miscavige decided it was "off-Source" (even though the course is almost entirely simply listening to the lectures Hubbard delivered to the Briefing Course students at St Hill in the early 60's) and Power Processing is the MySpace of scientology services. A "thing" in the past, nothing today. So, apparently they have turned their … [Read more...]

Scientology Is Offended

By

The LA Mayors race really got scientology hot and bothered. When Rick Caruso made it an issue that his opponent, Karen Bass, had attended a scientology ribbon cutting event, it turned scientology into a hot topic. I wrote about this previously: Karen Bass -- L.A. Mayoral Candidate So, the STAND League rallied their troops. To do what? Call and complain about the "bigotry"... The problem they have, is BOTH candidates have taken an anti-scientology stance. With the STAND League letter writing campaign (see: Scientology Massively Unpopular) apparently ineffective, they resorted to … [Read more...]
