The Life of L. Ron Hubbard

August 31, 2016 By Mike Rinder 134 Comments

This is a fascinating insight into the world inside the scientology bubble. This image was posted to a scientology message board on FaceBook.  Shortly after this screenshot was taken, the group's admin asked that it be taken down as it didn't have "Issue Authority." Despite all the LRH biography briefings, websites, press releases and books in today's official scientology scripture there is no mention whatsoever anywhere that L. Ron Hubbard even had a wife (or 3) or any children.   One of the reasons the Briefing Course is no longer available is that the lectures have not … [Read more...]

Now he created the "space race" to distract from the nuclear arms race (except it didn't). Wonder when they are going to cover the biography section "Ron's family life and accomplishments" - they could do a nice Ron Mag on that subject. Not of course covering what he told everyone else to do, but detailing HIS family life. There is a lot of fascinating material to cover. … [Read more...]

The L. Ron Hubbard “Biographer”

July 12, 2016 By Mike Rinder 190 Comments

Someone sent me a new promotion for the "L. Ron Hubbard Series" which prompted this post. Dan Sherman has been working on the "L. Ron Hubbard biography" for more than 25 years. Imagine anyone else getting away with no product for that long? And being paid handsomely to boot.... Sherman's problem is that he can NEVER produce an actual biography. He would have to omit so many things from the book to satisfy the condition that there be nothing negative included about Hubbard that it would be a running joke. Everyone who can use Google would tear it to pieces. A very cursory list of … [Read more...]

Awesome show today ... as usual. It inspired me to resurrect a site I started in 2008 on #Scientology. It fell into disrepair some time ago but it's coming back. Keep up the good work!

If you haven’t, please follow the amazing journalist @TroMcManus. She does outstanding work! The harassment she gets from #Scientology for just doing her job is absolutely uncalled for. Thank you for your incredible reporting Tracey! https://twitter.com/GrowingupinSCN/status/1637250281216917504
