How Many Clears are Going Up The Bridge?

August 25, 2021 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

How Big is Scientology?

April 1, 2019 By Mike Rinder 101 Comments

The question as to how big scientology really is comes up often. The organization does not make its membership figures known though they have a good count with the total number of IAS members. Of course even that is inflated as it is notoriously difficult to get OFF a scientology mailing list and as long as they can still send you junk mail you "count" on their statistic. Over the years, spokespeople have variously claimed 4, 6, 8 or 10 million "members" but then refuse to define what a "member" is though a few times they have stated it is "anyone who had bought a book or taken a service … [Read more...]

We believe discriminatory rhetoric, misinformation, and hate speech have no place anywhere which is exactly why we’re fighting Scientology, its lies, and hypocrisy.

Including those spread by Scientology front groups like the Stand League.

Some thoughts on #scientology litigation. Hubbard: “fight on the basis of total attrition of the enemy.” Spending huge reserves of tax-free money, they bank on most not going the distance. But for those who do -- scientology has never won a damages trial.

The pressure is mounting on #scientology. The day is coming where they will be held accountable for their reckless disregard for human rights and the law. They’ve gotten away with hiding behind the shield of “religion” for way too long. #JusticeforDave https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-scientologists-came-forward-with-shocking-trafficking-claims-now-they-say-theyre-being-stalked
