“No Reging”

May 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 75 Comments

This is a bit old. I had overlooked it and then noticed "No Reging"[sic]. This is a very interesting development. John Alex Wood is still alive and kicking? Who knew? But more importantly,  I think this is an indicator the pandemic is going to have a significant long-term effect on scientology. Not only because people are not coming in and paying for services right now and are instead hiding out at home doing a $20 Extension Course, sending in a chapter every few weeks.

More Scientology Fail

September 28, 2013 By Mike Rinder 82 Comments

After more than THIRTY YEARS, they STILL aren't close to their target of 10,000 onto (or through) OT VII. And believe me, this "6300" INCLUDES anyone on or through OT VII that is READING THIS BLOG.

Truth In Advertising Update and Wedding News

June 21, 2013 By Mike Rinder 105 Comments

One of our Special Correspondents sent in some additional information concerning Matt Feshbach's skill in applying financial policy to his life (see earlier post here). Gives a less than complimentary picture of his history. It is not that I have any personal vendetta about Matt Feshbach or anyone else. It's that he is still held up as a poster child of success, and it is a lie. Here is the update: - Matt closed down his Feshbach Brothers fund on the west coast years ago, having taken investors’ money. - Additionally, he started a company on investors’ money – called FatPipeU, a … [Read more...]

1. Longtime Scientologist Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) slamming "Going Clear," gives you some insight into Scientology talking points and how people like her remain trapped in Scientology.

Cartwright has donated over 20 million dollars to Scientology.

Yes, twenty.

Yes. And wild cult advocacy and education. 👍

Yashar Ali 🐘@yashar

Would it be fair to say you strongly associate me with wildlife advocacy and education?

Part 2 with @sheltondesigner now available on #FairGamePodcast. We go deep into the RPF, #scientology's Thought Reform Program and the Truth Rundown "security checking" designed to gaslight a person that anything bad in #scientology is an invented lie. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/episode-36-critical-thinker-chris-shelton-part-2/

If you are a Scientology watcher or someone who wants to know more about cultic control methods, you're going to want to see this. The Truth Rundown is concentrated gaslighting and is the subject of the @MikeRinder and @LeahRemini podcast this week. https://youtu.be/x9fJkVJD0yQ
