					<description><![CDATA[Going Clear is available on Netflix. If you have not seen this, take the time to watch it. If you haven’t watched it since it first came out a decade or so ago, it’s worth re-watching. This documentary had massive impact on the way the world viewed Scientology. And paved the way for so much [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The First Amendment to the Constitution is a vitally important document that is cause for great celebration and almost as much dispute. It enshrines a number of very important rights &#8212; freedom of religion, speech, the press, to peaceable assembly and petition the government. I believe the Bill of Rights was intended to protect [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; One of our readers asked Chat GPT (or perhaps another AI tool) for a prediction on the future of scientology and he forwarded it to me. This is a pretty good indicator of the status of scientology in the world &#8212; a far different picture than is presented in their press releases and events [&#8230;]]]></description>

One of our regular readers, TrevAnon, emailed me that there is a list of OT VIII completions at the Truth About Scientology website. I did not realize this website was being kept up to date. It is an astonishing resource, [&#8230;]]]></description>

It was originally published on MentalHealth.com and I found it to be generally informative though by nature of it being very broad to cover all cults, I think there are some things in here that are not so applicable to scientology.  I have [&#8230;]]]></description>

The blind, over-the-top adulation. The fear of being identified as someone who is not enthusiastic enough in their praise for the Dear Leader. In N.
