Episode 19: Christie Collbran Rinder

December 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 53 Comments

  This week Leah and I speak with my wife, Christie. I will add the link as soon as it is live. While there is always a lot of interest in me, Christie has her own story. She is much more than simply my other half. Her entire immediate family, just like mine, disconnected from her when she began to question things and tried to communicate this to them. When our son, Jack, was 6 months old we visited LA and tried to see Christie's parents to introduce them to their grandson. Her mother was sent away to the Freewinds. Her father, who I have never met, is a former pro-linebacker … [Read more...]

Taryn Teutsch & Justice4Mom: Theatre of the Absurd

May 13, 2020 By Mike Rinder 111 Comments

The scientology campaign to paint me as a monster has gone from dishonest, to ridiculous to utterly absurd. I have chronicled the dishonesty and ridiculous claims of "abuse" plenty of times before, ("Justice4Mom" Advertising on Jezebel, Scientology's Latest Lie About Me,  We Did It!, and Mike Rinder: "Lady Killer") as have other blogs. This newest entry uses the "crippled for life" tag rather than "I could hear her bones breaking" and her "shoulder snapping" of earlier posts. But now it’s just bizarre. They come up with any excuse to write a blog post in Taryn's name and this one is … [Read more...]

“Justice 4 Mom” Advertising on Jezebel

April 26, 2020 By Mike Rinder 68 Comments

I tend to check on my daughter "Taryn's" website occasionally and people send me things of note. Of course, it is her name and image that are being used, it is not "her" website. And there is no proof clearer than the fact they are now paying to advertise on this site. On her Sea Org pay she couldn't afford to buy posterboard to make a sign to hold up on Hollywood Blvd, let alone pay for advertising on a popular web page. Jezebel is a female oriented site that used to be part of the Gawker stable (Gawker was NOT friendly to scientology -- they posted the infamous Tom Cruise IAS Freedom … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Happy Valentine’s Day Messages

February 15, 2020 By Mike Rinder 34 Comments

Scientology uses any opportunity to try to get people to step inside their buildings. Each of these supposedly non-church activities is part and parcel of the same big ball of wax. And you can bet that if anyone is silly enough to attend any of these things and give their name, phone number or email they will be receiving SCIENTOLOGY promotional materials for the next 100 years. And here is another "Valentine's Day message" put up on my daughter's web page. The twisted logic of this one defies description. My message to you on this Valentine's Day is "hate your father and do everything you … [Read more...]

The Ever Evolving Smear Campaign on Me

February 5, 2020 By Mike Rinder 108 Comments

The latest from my daughter Taryn Teutsch...   Much of the same old stuff, but here is a new addition. The rendition of this story has evolved over the years, despite the fact the clear evidence contained in the Pinellas County Sheriff and EMT reports has not changed. It began with claims that I "attacked" my ex-wife (when she and 6 others and 2 PI's) had followed me and approached me screaming obscenities, all the way to "permanent neuorological damage" to "I could hear the bones breaking" and now "gouged flesh pouring with blood". None of these things are reflected in the … [Read more...]

We Did It!

December 28, 2019 By Mike Rinder 80 Comments

  Ah, the pride of a false sense of accomplishment! My daughter and her OSA handlers put out this happy message of Christmas Cheer. "We Did It! I got my father fired."   It is pretty incredible how blatantly they follow Hubbard's dictates to cost "enemies" their jobs. Such a cheery "holiday" message from the "church" that believes "there was no Jesus" and that those who believe in him are the victims of psychs who "implanted" them. Scientology claims they cost me my job, and they are proud of this. It's not a true statement, but then again, most public utterances … [Read more...]

“I’m a Christian and I’m also a Scientologist” -- and he's also lying. If you are a christian you are NOT a scientologist. See what #scientology said to the IRS to qualify for tax exemption. And what L. Ron Hubbard said about Christ and christianity. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/im-a-christian-and-im-also-a-scientologist/

@jj1109 @UltioetVeritas @MikeRinder @LeahRemini @KarendlaCariere @tarpleyhitt @thedailybeast @randomname7700 @TeamSPNetwork @SkyBird03914123 @Deana828 It’s been well documented that SeaOrg members do not receive much education other than Scientology training. On the recent Fair Game podcast Marc Headley confirmed that he was encouraged to drop out when just 15 years old. They appear confident in their ignorance of acronyms.
