Another gem from the STAAD website. Things have really slowed down there. It seems without weekly airings of The Aftermath, their reason for existing has become muddled. They liked to pretend they were some altruistic exercise, but it was clear that was just a cover to be able to attack The Aftermath and its contributors. Nowadays their website is merely a collection of scientology talking points they use to try to convince the world they are "normal" and "like every other religion." But when they are not the subject of discussion, they seem to lose interest pretty quickly in fighting … [Read more...]
STAAD Resurrects “#WhereIsShelly”
We don't hear much from STAAD any more. Seems Fast Eddie has gone back to stuffing envelopes in the basement or whatever it is that he usually does. He has been silent on Twitter -- one post since 22 October and that could have been written by any of the STAAD flunkies and posted on his behalf. Even the STAAD League itself has been pretty dormant, every now and then sending out a retweet promoting Marty Rathbun like the last Japanese soldier on a Pacific Island firing into the air in an act of defiance to keep the fight going. This is one of their most recent retweets from a year or … [Read more...]
More Idiocy from STAAD
Another installment from the fertile, juvenile minds of the STAAD League. One of their "bloggers" has a new take on Leah and me -- we are "leeches." Here is how Leland Thoburn starts his rant: "Why would anyone devote their life to tearing someone else down?" Well, funny you ask that Leland. I actually spent nearly 50 years of my life devoted to building up scientology. I was virtually unpaid that entire time, and ended up with no money, no resume and no family when I left. So, unless this qualifies as devoting my life to tearing down the enemies of … [Read more...]
How Does It Feel to Be a Scientologist?
Before delving into this latest piece to be found on the STAAD fiction site, let me proffer a more honest answer to the question. How does it feel to be a scientologist? Superior -- after all nobody else has the "tech" of life, they are all ignorant,misinformed or both Certain -- we know the answer to everything, all that is needed is to "do what Ron says." Controlled -- though they would categorize this as "dedicated" or "on purpose". But bottom line, every scientologists does what is good for scientology. Period. John Logothetis expounds with the usual scientology "talking points" -- … [Read more...]
The Type That Rages Against Scientology
This is the sort of stuff scientology churns out to try to smear and discredit those who expose their abuses. The author, Rodger Clark, is a "STAND Blogger". I happened to notice this article on the Patheos site, and found it was simply a reprint of the blog article on the STAND site. The text and even the image on Patheos are identical to this propaganda from STAND. Here is the diatribe in all it's sordid glory. I have highlighted in red some of the most egregious stuff: While working in Florida as an installer many years ago, the boss assigned me … [Read more...]
Stand Double Standards
Not that this is big news... scientology is operating on a blatant double standard. I saw this on the STAAD twitter feed. Now of course, we could do an even better headline -- SCIENTOLOGY SUPPORTS ALLEGED RAPIST DANNY MASTERSON. The difference in the two cases is rather striking. The accuser of Haggis NEVER FILED a police complaint. In fact, the main accuser tried to get money from Paul Haggis to remain silent. HE went to law enforcement to report this. Masteron's victims all went to law enforcement -- and there are 4 of them of have filed police complaints and now after … [Read more...]
Why I Choose Scientology
This is an article just published on Patheos -- which is described on Wikipedia as follows: Patheos is a non-denominational, non-partisan online media company providing information and commentary from various religious and nonreligious perspectives. Upon its launch in May 2009, the website was primarily geared toward learning about religions through a reference library and other peer-reviewed resources on 27 global religions and worldviews. In its current form, the site also hosts more than 450 blogs in eleven "Faith Channels," offering commentary and news from these perspectives in topics … [Read more...]
Scientology Fair Game
I happened upon the STAAD League "dead agent" propaganda about scientology Fair Game. I thought it might be useful to address it with the real truth. Let's start with what Hubbard ACTUALLY said about Fair Game. Here is the oft quoted 1967 policy letter that lays out the "may be deprived of property or injured by any means... May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed." But there were earlier references to Fair Game in policies of 1965: And this which declares the "homes, property, places and abodes" are "beyond the protection of Scientology Ethics." And this issue … [Read more...]
Newsflash: JLo & Kathy Griffin Conspiring to Destroy Scientology for Money
The crazy keeps getting crazier. The unhinged Minions of Miscavige spew increasingly insane rantings as the walls close in on their bubble of belief. Anyone suffering under the illusion that "author" of this latest conspiracy theory, Ryan Prescott, is some wayward "lone-wolf" scientologist acting on his own, please know this is NOT the case. Nobody, especially not a scientology org staff member, takes OSA Matters into their own hands. They ONLY act in concert with and as fronts for OSA or they are shut down instantly. He might as well announce himself officially as a member of the STAAD … [Read more...]
Panic Stations – STAAD Flailing Again
Its pretty easy to tell what gets under the very thin skin of David Miscavige. His (violent?) outbursts of frustration are evident in the statements that emanate from the STAAD League. While Miscavige has poured tens of millions into the failed scientologyTV network and shouts loudly about winning “Telly” awards (something nobody has ever heard of and a quick glance shows they hand out hundreds of them for online ads and infomercials), he becomes apoplectic when real awards are presented to Leah Remini and The Aftermath. Funny how scientology always accuses others of doing what they … [Read more...]
