Scientology: Massively Unpopular

October 10, 2022 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

You may have seen the news or watched Aaron's recent video about scientology becoming a hot topic in the mayoral race in Los Angeles (if you have not watched Aaron's video, I suggest you do -- it's only 10 minutes -- you can click on it irectly above). Subsequently, Danny Masterson's lawyers filed some desperate motions to try to delay his criminal rape trial, claiming the jury pool was prejudiced because "There is a really negative view of Scientology… the general public's view of Scientology is more negative than any other religion." His lawyer argued everyone agrees scientology is an … [Read more...]

Super Bowl BS

February 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

  Unfortunately, it's that time of year again. Each Super Bowl, Scientology does their best to litter the parking lot with fliers people have been handed out and just as quickly thrown away. Usually it is these "Drug Free World Booklets" and also Way To Happiness. And you know neither of them make mention of scientology. There is absolutely NO evidence at all that handing out their booklets "results in less crime and less drug use." These fools really believe that a pamphlet is going to stop a criminal from committing a crime or anyone from using drugs? The only PROVEN result of … [Read more...]

LA Org — The “Model” Ideal Org

January 15, 2022 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

This is the model ideal org that all orgs are supposed to follow... The one manned entirely by Sea Org members (which is NOT able to be duplicated by Class V orgs anywhere else). This says a lot about the state of this org. They need to ROUND UP and CALL IN people in order to have 30 people in the shots.... They don't have 30 people in the org already? They have to call in actors? What is up with that? … [Read more...]

Episode 37: Mormon Stories Host Dr. John Dehlin

April 19, 2021 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

This week Leah and I venture into the world of Mormonism with Dr. John Dehlin. I recently appeared on his long-running and very popular podcast, Mormon Stories, and we are now welcoming him to ours. He is not just a podcaster, he is a non-profit CEO, activist, public speaker, and religious transitions coach. He advocates for the rights of skeptics in Mormonism, LGBT rights, equality for women, and other individual views outside mainstream Mormonism. He has Master’s degree in Instructional Technology, and a Ph.D. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. We learned a great deal from John … [Read more...]

How You Can Help End The Pandemic

June 6, 2020 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

Take a wild guess what the answer to this question is: "How you can help end the pandemic?" If you guessed "Give us your money" you just won yourself a one year free subscription to Impact magazine. If you guessed "Hand out our propaganda booklets" you won a one year free subscription to Freedom magazine. And if you answered both you win the Grand Prize -- a commendation for your file. They have 160,000 booklets they still need to distribute. Some in-house printing facility (Bridge or the Central Promo Center or something) has gotten their stats up selling these things at a profit to the … [Read more...]

Finally diving into @MikeRinder s “A Billion Years” - my third book by a former Scientologist this year. These are unbelievable stories that I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about

As I was saying yesterday (and as @TonyOrtega94 and @MikeRinder wrote), the Church of Scientology has a very big projection problem. They accuse @LeahRemini of supporting rape while the "Church" hires actual rapists to do their dirty work.

It's not ironic, it's just evil. https://twitter.com/TonyOrtega94/status/1639220372485619713

Tony Ortega @TonyOrtega94

Yesterday we told you about a disgraced former journalist who was hired by #Scientology to investigate us. Today we have an update on a disgraced private eye firm that was also caught stalking us and Leah Remini for Scientology. Where does David Miscavige find these cretins?

L. Ron Hubbard’s evil knows no bounds. See how he tells his followers to exploit a teenage rape victim. And how #scientology uses his edicts to try to destroy those exposing the truth and cover up its own predators. It’s chilling. @LeahRemini https://youtu.be/1OXKR1N5lNI via @YouTube
