Scientology in Germany

July 1, 2019 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

No new orgs in Germany since the 1980's. None in the former East Germany ever.

Of course, the Church of Scientology looked like abject fools and their statements … [Read more...]

Chris, Berlin Special Correspondent just chimed in with two VERY relevant and important comments concerning the state of the Berlin “Ideal Org” and how Gold goes about shooting videos based on his personal experience in Berlin.

Thank you so much @azhlynne for your continued efforts to expose the lies told by the #psychoterrorcult that is #scientology. My daughter is being used as a tool of Fair Game -- which is the real violation of human rights. A brainwashed slave putting out Korean POW style videos.

Jack is 9 today. Funny, intelligent, kind and a perfectionist about everything he does, he makes my life a joy. Growing up too fast, but each day he becomes more of a companion.

The council was willing to make Mark the sole council-rep on the DDB, but because Mayor Hibbard also wanted to remain on the DDB they decided to simply ignore the DDBs request.

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.
