The “Glory” of Scientology’s Dead “Enemies”

December 21, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

A couple of days ago, Tony Ortega posted a lengthy "success story" from a woman who had recently completed "Super Power." Of course, it was over-the-top bizarre, but one paragraph stood out: While on the rundown two major SPs (2.5 percent) connected to my dynamics received their bitter end. One died in an unexpected way, and the other got put in a psychiatric hospital by his best friend. This filled me with the glory of justice. I doubt there is a more clear-cut example of the callous disregard for human life into which scientologists are inculcated than this. Many former scientologists, … [Read more...]

Close Down Scientology TV — L. Ron Hubbard Says So

November 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

This is an email sent around to scientologists recently by one of the bubble zealots. The words of LRH are sacred. I don’t think they even read them before they pass them on half the time. They know they will look smart and get agreement if they quote LRH. So they send out anything and everything. And include the exact source reference -- something from the 50's is valid today simply because it's "important data by LRH." Everything LRH ever said is "important data." Now, the truth of what he says about being bombarded by “heavy particles,” by even a cathode ray tube TV is debatable. I am … [Read more...]

The “History of Man”

October 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 70 Comments

  “A History of Man” is one of the more bizarre scribblings of L. Ron Hubbard. This so-called "Antediluvian Technology" (antediluvian is defined as: of or belonging to the time before the biblical Flood, so not sure what this "technology" is supposed to be) is not considered "outdated research" or "theoretical. " It is part of what every scientologist must study to even be considered a real scientologist. I was reminded of this when I saw a recent post on Tony Ortega's blog that included this FB post: I made an earlier post about this book, focusing on the reference to the … [Read more...]

You Were Clear Once

October 22, 2020 By Mike Rinder 80 Comments

OK, so how does this work? You were Clear until the time you decided you should invent a reactive mind for yourself. Apparently something you created because you were bored? Then you forgot you created it. Trilli9ons of years later, L. Ron Hubbard "discovered" this and told everyone that addressing it (with an accompanying payment) with Dianetics would get rid of it. And that this would solve all your ills. And then after you paid for enough auditing to "go Clear" you would come to the realization that you were just "mocking it up" and that it was an illusion all along. So, if the object is … [Read more...]

Ron: The Epic Saga of BS

October 21, 2020 By Mike Rinder 87 Comments

The smoke and mirrors game that scientology plays concerning L. Ron Hubbard is pretty remarkable. This "monumental hardback collection" is hardly a recounting of a "life like no other." It is a carefully selected collection of anecdotal stories about things L. Ron Hubbard said or claimed about his life. Many of them are unverified, unable to be documented because they didn't happen. Charitably, Hubbard told "tall tales" about his life and exploits. Realistically, he simply lied about himself. The author of these "books" (they were originally "magazines") is Dan Sherman. The "LRH … [Read more...]

Scientology and the Communist Witch-hunt

September 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 56 Comments

For some unknown reason, the STAND twitter account recently put up a new tweet accusing The Hollywood Reporter of a "history of forwarding hate. In the 1940s and 50s, the publication was part and parcel of fomenting the anti-Communist campaign in Hollywood..."   If you click on the link it goes to a page on the STAND site that is a letter of complaint about an article in the THR from 2017 (they don't seem to have a whole lot of new material): It is so typically scientology -- they don't like something they said, so they launch into an attack over something that happened 70 … [Read more...]

Scientology Healing

September 5, 2020 By Mike Rinder 67 Comments

Came across this the other day, right from the desk of L. Ron Hubbard. It offers some fascinating insight into how he believed scientology could be sold to cure literally everything, and how to avoid running afoul of the law. The "nod, nod, wink, wink" is thinly disguised and his disdain for government and medical authorities is palpable. It is interesting that this is written in 1962 and, like he had done since 1950, he claimed "we can clear" (until next month or year when he would announce the NEXT "breakthrough" that "now" made clearing possible) and that "of course, Clearing resolves … [Read more...]

Words of Wisdom on Education

September 3, 2020 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

Some newly promoted words of wisdom from the master of doublespeak: OK, anyone who has ever been in scientology will read this quote and wonder: "WTF?" This is the EXACT opposite of "education" in scientology. Studying the words of L. Ron Hubbard is viewed as the most important thing anyone can do on this earth. And this is NOT an exaggeration. One would never describe a scientology courseroom as "pleasant," "unhurried" or "casual." Anyone who ran a pleasant courseroom would be designated a dilettante, if not a "squirrel." In fact, this is what Hubbard has to say about … [Read more...]

How to “Go OT”

August 26, 2020 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

They actually still promote this as if these words are absolute truth. And it happens repeatedly. If Hubbard said it, no matter when it was or how much transpired subsequently, they still present it as gospel truth. The last ACC lecture was in the early 1960's. So what "OT processes" is this referring to? The ones in Creation of Human Ability? The ones that were subsequently canceled (all "Creative Processing" was cancelled by Hubbard)? Certainly not the ones from the "OT Levels" that all scientologists know today as they had not been invented yet? Don't the people that write this stuff … [Read more...]
