What Do Scientologists Believe About COVID-19

April 11, 2020 By Mike Rinder 97 Comments

I received a copy of a promotional piece from the Dror Center. It's one of the few successful "independent" scientology groups. Let me say at the outset that Dani and Tami Lemberger are wonderful people and personal friends and I thoroughly enjoy their company when they come to visit with us.

June 13, 2013 By Mike Rinder 66 Comments

Dani has earned the right to be heard. He and his wife Tami have put their money where their mouth is with their Dror Center.  I have a great deal of respect for their demonstrated personal integrity.  In addition to being stand up people, they are a lot of fun to be around.  Mike Rinder   Ron’s Single  Biggest Mistake I got into Scientology at the COSMOD Mission, San Francisco, in April 1980. Didn’t take me long to become an avid Scientologist. I had huge wins on realizing I am an immortal spirit and on going exterior on TR0.

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
