I searched for your blog a couple weeks ago using the google search engine. Your real blog appeared at the top of the list but just below I noticed the fake blog. I immediately thought it was a hate site created to draw traffic away from your site but I wasn’t certain until I clicked the link and sure enough, that’s exactly what it was. I was surprised to see that it also included hateful and untrue stories about other ex members who speak up about the abuses of this “religion.” They must not realize how bad this looks from the view point of the general public. Sorry you have to put up with this crap Mike.

In reply to Todd Cray.

Re: L. Ron Hubbard’s “fantasies of grandeur have crumbled in the harsh light of fact checking…”

True or False: L. Ron Hubbard acted as “a director with the Caribbean Motion Picture Expedition of 1931…”…the true mark of an exceptional explorer…” (Source: “Mission Into Time,” 1973, with thanks to “Bare-Faced Messiah” by Russell Miller.)

False, but of course.

The Caribbean Motion Picture Expedition of 1931 ended in Puerto Rico “with empty hands and no money,” as reported by David R. Scott, Star-Journal Correspondent.

Members of the exhibition aboard the schooner, the Doris Hamlin, arrived a month earlier than expected. Misfortunes had plagued the exhibition from its very beginning. By the time it had arrived in Bermuda, a dozen people deserted the ship.
More deserters fled when they arrived in Martinique. Even more abandoned ship upon its arrival in Puerto Rico, effectively cutting their itinerary by half.

And whatever became of their leader, L. Ron Hubbard? He “struck colors and was seen no more.” One of Hubbard’s associates reported last seeing the George Washington University student disappearing, “with a suitcase in each hand.” (Source: Sandusky Star Journal, Sept. 9, 1932.)

In reply to otherles. Not wanting people to be shot and have them die over trivial matters isn’t racial collectivism. That’s like saying people who object to cops shooting dogs that pose no threat to them are advocating caninenism.

I went there also and got the same notification that you mentioned asking if I wanted to go to your blog.

I might agree with Lindsay — if there really was a Lindsay — about Alex Stein. Even if right wing transphobes say something funny about Scientology they are better off ignored. Still I trust that anyone reaching Lindsay’s web site will quickly realize that it simply confirms why there are so many things wrong with Scientology.

It is its own parody and even funnier than what Stein tries to offer.

Just another sign of the desperation of a shrinking cult. $camology is slowly but surely morphing into a giant oozlum bird with Davey as the brown arsehole the beak is aiming for.

And pretty cheap at that.

OSA invites comments on this blog – but none can be seen. Ah, well, there are probably thounsands of comments and they just can’t get around to deal with them all. Straight up and vertical expansion.

Who’s “Lindsey” anyway?
Perhaps one of Bill Yaude’s alias.

Tory should post a comment asking Bill out for a coffee 🙂

Re: “…the search engine put up a notification asking me if I actually meant to go to my real blog…”

This proved to be the best part of doing a Google search for “Mike Rinder blog.”

Even Google, apparently, knows the difference between right and wrong.

Remarkable they go to such lengths. Scientology as an organised, authoritarian but rapidly shrinking group just keeps distilling itself into its more & more purely evil essence. It’s rather obvious their dramatizing of hate and the destruction of others they consider enemies is the only game they have left to play, or rather, it has always been that way. Just more veiled in earlier times. They now however, have many crimes to hide. Hubbard’s policy and false promises of freedom is a fertile arena for outrageous chicanery.
They were always going to end up like they are now, and their future is bleak to say the least.
