Get ‘Em Young

August 13, 2019 By Mike Rinder 112 Comments

I came across this Sea Org promotional piece from 1999. It was a time when there had not been the extensive exposure of abuses of children in scientology. And thus it reflects the true attitude of scientology -- not the carefully worded utterances that are put forth these days (scientology.org is the epitome of scientology propaganda and it is the lead for most public statements now). Here we witness the unvarnished (well, at least less varnished) side of how scientology views children. Education outside scientology is not valued.

The ex-SO Hall of Shame

March 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 188 Comments

Probably more than the $50,000 that was handed to Debbie Cook -- though scientology then sued her for her supposed breach of that agreement and had their asses handed to them in a … [Read more...]

This is the country that never ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which is shameful.

The time has come for elected officials to pass legislation to actually protect our children from senseless gun violence. All of us failed them by letting politics and lobbyist dollars take precedence over safety.
