Seriously tempted to go Google “Mike Rinder” and “A Billion Years” hundreds of times just to make CoS pay for their ads.

Mike, I applaud the way you handle these vile but untrue accusations. You never seem to let them faze or upset you. Can’t say I would be able to keep so calm. Keep up the good fight against this appalling cult. When they lose their tax free status hopefully it will all come tumbling down and they will be exposed (not that they haven’t been already) for what they have done and are still doing to people.

What a misuse of the word justice.

If there was a domestic violence case that the criminal or civil courts would agree to hear, that is where it belongs. That it is only being used as an accusation to try to destroy the reputation of “the perpetrator” and no justice is actually being sought is telling.

The last thing any Scientologist wants for someone who has left and is speaking out against Scientology is real world justice. Scientology justice is that such a person is to be destroyed, and if real crimes cannot be found, they should be manufactured.

Sad truth for Scientology, though. The largest audience for Mike Rinder’s book is people who know better, people who have also left, people who themselves are well aware of the tactics, people who were never-in but became exposed to the criminality of the group and in challenging that found themselves under attack. The audience of people who’ve never heard much about Scientology is much smaller, and far less likely to even see any of the attacks before deciding this looks like an interesting read.

All this expensive investment of energy and activity from C of S must be seen to be believed. The lame nature of it confounds. The super self-importance people in scientology assign themselves is sad. About their perspective no one cares. Only other Still-In scientologists listen to these childish attempts at a “take down.” Still-In scientologists live the definition of an “echo chamber.” Whereas Mike and Leah are Emmy Award-winners, with their series receiving other accolades as well for outstanding human rights-based documentary journalism.

I agree with others in this blog community who are pointing out: If Mike’s first wife remains in such dire physical straits for 12 years, errr…then this shows how much the promised healing technologies do not work. According to LRH, he used his technologies to heal himself of blindness and lameness. A bit of forearm or shoulder injury should be sorted out easily and in full (forever) with scientology’s powerful toolkit.

I fear the level of covertness of the hostility at work in scientology is just too, too covert for hardcore members to spot it. They are complicit with the hostility, but they don’t see that they are die-hard practitioners of such, which is really something—a dark flavor of ironic.

If those are recent photos, I’m guessing they are a direct answer to your photo with your son and book.

Also betting they’ve no treasure trove of OTHER happy-family-happy-life photos together…..

Whereas you, and your tribe?….

I’d already preordered the ebook as soon as it was available after our favorite cult got back on my radar through binging the amazing Aftermath. Then I saw all the horrible stuff about Mike all over the internet. A deadbeat father, a wife beater. How awful.

…so I bought the audiobook as well because screw those liars, let them flail in their desperation. I can’t wait to listen to the truth in the voice of the person who lived it. This is going to be like a thermonuclear airdrop on the “church.”

I just followed your daughter and left this message
Scientology is the perpetrator of abuse. It is so sad that you don’t see that. You are so blinded by indoctrination. I hope that someday you will be free from this abusive “religion” of power, money, and destruction.

I will let you know how quickly I am blocked 🙂

Mike,
Amazing how the tables have turned. Telling the truth has dire consequences for liars.
