We promised that we would let you know as soon as there was further news on what was to come next. I cannot say anything more than is covered in this story at this time, but as this is a Hollywood "insider" sort of publication, I thought I should put it here as everyone who reads this blog will be interested. Here is the article in full: Leah Remini Inks First-Look Deal With Critical Content The relevant information that will be of most interest to readers here: Leah Remini, creator, host and producer of A+E’s Emmy-winning docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the … [Read more...]
Spiritualist Movements
This is a rather lengthy dissertation by long term commenter George M. White, who was one of the first OT VIII completions (that is him above on the Freewinds at graduation). I am publishing it as he sent it to me. He mentioned this when I saw him at a party recently and I offered to put it on the blog. It makes reference to a document called "Student Briefing" and I have included that for your reference at the end of his piece.

The “Self-Evident” Truth of the Flat-Earth Society/Scientology
This is a recent posting on the Patheos website -- which is really just an outlet for any content the scientology propaganda machine can generate. Some of it offers good insight into the minds of scientology. This article, by T. Riggs Eckleberry (ex-SO -- he was just Riggs back then) is another of them. It starts with a premise that is entirely false. Namely that scientology is "truth" and proceeds to build on that false assumption from there. His first sentence asserts that of course scientology is true: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. … [Read more...]
“New” Scientology Churches in the Last Decade — “Expansion” Debunked
This is an article that recently appeared on scientology.org -- and it proves scientology "expansion" is slower now than it was 10 years ago, even when measured by their ridiculous standard of number of buildings renovated. Here is what is listed in this article of the scientology churches around the world (not the CLO's or AO's): 2010 JAN 23, 2010 -- Brussels JAN 30, 2010 -- Quebec City FEB 6, 2010 -- Las Vegas APR 24, 2010 -- Los Angeles (not even a new building?) JUL 10, 2010 -- Mexico City JUL 18, 2010 -- Pasadena JUL 24, 2010 -- … [Read more...]
“Auditing on The Level”
Another illustration of the crazy that is the scientology bubble. And it gets worse the higher one progresses on "the Bridge." I am not questioning that there is a problem with over-prescription of medication or too much diagnosis of depression or anxiety. I am questioning the bizarre conclusion: "I am auditing on the level, which ultimately will handle the disgusting goals and purposes of that criminal profession." How these deluded OT VII's can possibly believe that getting rid of their body thetans is going to handle psychiatry is something I would love one of them to explain … [Read more...]
More Scientology Speak
This was a comment on the recent post that I felt deserved more attention. It comes from long-time commenter Mockingbird's blog Mockingbird's Nest and was originally published in December 2015. Many of the quotes here are very important. I include the whole post unedited. Not every statement within it is the way I would have phrased it, but nevertheless, overall I find this to be an important addition to the discussion about scientology and how it controls people's thinking/minds. Mockingbird says: I’m not making any claims about being smarter than anybody here, but … [Read more...]
Scientology Fake News
Scientology is like a Hollywood set. It presents an appearance to the world when depicted on camera, but the reality is something entirely different. This is a recent announcement from the Tampa org: Scientology routinely exposes their blatant lies with its own promotion. Tampa touts itself as the model St Hill Size Ideal Org -- the best Class 5 org on the planet. Yet it doesn't have enough "bodies in the shop" for a photo shoot of people reading LRH books? So they round up anyone from anywhere, sit them in chairs, and pretend they are all just in the org "reading LRH … [Read more...]
Scientology Speak
This Facebook post highlights something important about Scientology. The incomprehensible code language that scientologists speak. To a non-cult member I am sure this is virtual gibberish: 2D, postulates, flows, beingness and the whole idea of a “liability formula” and repair of past ethics are just meaningless terms and concepts. This does two things — it reinforces the “us against them” construct that is a foundation of all cults, keeping the members in the mind prison because the outside world (wogs) don’t understand them. And... It allows them to define things in … [Read more...]
Flag is Empty
They claim it is a 4 star hotel. This is the peak season in Florida. Yet while every other hotel is charging the highest prices of the year, they are trying to attract people with special discounts -- $113 for a 4 star hotel in Florida in January? Absurd. And breakfast thrown in and chocolate covered strawberries. At this time of year you would be lucky to get into a 2 star hotel for that price. The place is empty and they are doing anything they can to get some rooms occupied. If Flag was "booming" the Ft Harrison would be full and they would not have room for locals to … [Read more...]
George White
Frequent commenter here George White sent me this photo of some of the original OT VIII's on the Freewinds in 1988. I don['t recognize many, and George doesn't recall anything other than the first names of some of them. Milt Wolfe is in the center -- he was the CO Flag Ship Service Org, though it was not an assignment that lasted long. I think that is Jane Allen in the back row. She is an IAS Freedom Medal winner who vanished from the scene after contracting cancer. Debbie Mace is standing to the left of Milt, co-founder of the infamous Mace-Kingsley enterprise, also an IAS Freedom Medal … [Read more...]
