There are often questions about scientology's belief in God. Do they believe or don't they? Scientology goes to some lengths to make it appear "of course we believe in God, it is the 8th Dynamic in scientology." But what that means is pretty vague. Here is what L. Ron Hubbard says about the 8th Dynamic: THE EIGHTH DYNAMIC -- is the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. It is carefully observed here that the science of Scientology does not intrude into the dynamic of the Supreme Being. This is called the Eighth Dynamic because the symbol of … [Read more...]
It’s a White Christmas at AOSHAfrica
They claim the AO in Joburg is part of their drive to do help bring about Ron's prediction that the next great civilization on earth will spring from Southern Africa. Of course, these words are taken as literal truth, though they were clearly just an attempt to ingratiate himself as he was in S. Africa at the time, just like his pronouncements about the wonderful job the apartheid government was doing (though he may well have believed that). What is so corny about this is that they present this idea that they are building the next great civilization on earth with a straight … [Read more...]
Scientology Facebook Police
As you can see below, the Scientology Facebook Police are still out in force. I wonder if these people get up on the morning and put brown shirts and jodhpurs, pin on their official collar insignia and report for duty with the click of their heels? Remember yesterday's post about freedom of religion and free speech? Yeah, that's what they SAY in public. This is what they do in reality: If you are not part of "standard" scientology where they can take your money, you are to be treated as vermin and ostracized. "The ONLY groups, the only members we … [Read more...]
Dirty Cops and PI’s
There are a few blogs I always check -- Tony Ortega's Underground Bunker the best source for breaking news on scientology, Jeffrey Augustine's Scientology Money Project for the latest updates on scientology criminality, Stefani Hutchinson's incisive take on all things in the weird and hypocritical world of scientology Confront and Shatter , and now there is another to add to my list Dirty Cops and PI's. This new blog is the work of the always thorough Jeffrey Augustine, who has done some pretty incredible research into subjects related to scientology and especially the criminal activities … [Read more...]
Mad Hatter John Mappin Still Raving
Both Tony Ortega and I have published previous stories about crazy hotel guy John Mappin and his wife Irina. They run the very creepy "castle" in England from whence they spout their fanatical following of Donald Trump even though they are not US citizens or residents. Mad Scientologist John Mappin At It Again Now the dynamic duo are promoting Trump's new social media platform as part of a bizarre rant about Suppressives (sent out in almost unreadable white on black text which I had to enlarge and screenshot to make readable). These clowns mirror the … [Read more...]
The End of the World
The unholy marriage between scientology and the Nation of Islam continues, and things become stranger as time passes. This is some recent promo sent in by our longtime reader and commenter ISNOI News Sister Nayyirah Tivica Muhammad is Clear, a Super Power Completion, a Cause Resurgence Rundown Completion, a PTS/SP Course Graduate and an Auditor-in-Training. David Muhammad is her husband. He has done the PTS/SP Course and some Basics courses. He may have done more. The reference to the Fall of America is taken from a book by the same name written by Elijah Muhammad. I … [Read more...]
How Empty is Scientology?
One of our regular readers, Doug Sprinkle, was in LA last week and went for a walk around the scientology complex. Outside of Flag, this is the largest scientology operation on earth. It should be bustling with people in the middle of the day... Unlike Flag, this IS a place for new public to be sucked into scientology. While Flag is a reflection of how many people are making it UP the Bridge, LA is a reflection of both that and how many people are COMING ONTO the Bridge. Things are not looking good. We know Valley is a wasteland. Never hear anything at all from Inglewood, Pasadena or … [Read more...]
Brian Lambert on Original Thinking
Our old friend Brian Lambert sent me this essay for publication. He contributed a number of great pieces previously. ORIGINAL THINKING Original thinking is the greatest anarchy against prevailing sentiments. Being in a collective of constant self congratulating agreement may be a sign that original thinking is scarce. The original thinker always clashes with fixed ideas; including their own; especially their own. Anger and ad hominem attacks may be proof that original thinking is threatening the prevailing tides. Original thinkers welcome criticism with curiosity, not … [Read more...]
“Dr.” L. Ron Hubbard on Germs and Vaccines
Crackpot scientologist Carole Eddington sent around an email with some collected "wisdom" from "Dr." Hubbard about germs and vaccines. The guy who said not smoking enough cigarettes is the real cause of cancer, has some other interesting medical advice about how germs don't exist and that the "first 100 soldiers admitted with smallpox in WW II had all been vaccinated." It gives a pretty good glimpse into the mindset of a true-believer. To any outsider, this is just Hubbard being Hubbard: making up stories, theories and lies. Unfortunately scientologists buy it as gospel. If … [Read more...]
Become The Best
A new promo piece presents some interesting questions. Scientology is now trying to sell their ads as events that people need to see. This new 3 minute ad for training is a mixture of cartoon characters and real life actors with a twangy soundtrack. As with most of the centrally produced scientology video offerings, it has high production values. It's corny, but well produced corny. What is most interesting about it is the approach they are taking to try to persuade people to train as auditors. It is not to actually AUDIT people up the Bridge. It is to use the training to become a … [Read more...]
