Tonight's episode addressed another subject we get a LOT of questions about. Celebrities and scientology. And of course with the controversy over Elisabeth Moss's Emmy win for her portrayal of the victim of an oppressive system that controls every aspect of people's lives when she is a scientologist, and then Nicole Kidman's acknowledgement of the unconditional love from her 2 daughters with Keith Urban, while not mentioning the two children she adopted with Tom Cruise, there is heightened interest in the subject. I must say, because I do not feel we were really able to communicate this … [Read more...]

The Boycott is Working!
Sometimes you really have to wonder at the intelligence of some of these bubble-dwellers. And their delusions of grandeur. Look at the crazy here. Just to be sure what she is taking credit for: Set aside her not too well thought through conclusions about deriding Trump -- this woman is on a rant about Leah winning an Emmy and THIS is why the ratings are down. Still, 11.4 million viewers is a BIG audience -- the same as last year before Trump was elected. If you wonder about the audience of NW TV these days obviously you didn't watch the show and see how many awards Hulu and … [Read more...]
More on NOI
I dont know what the run-of-the-mill NOI member thinks about this weird mashup of scientology and the NOI, but I do know what L. Ron Hubbard would say. Mixing practices = squirrel. And there is no doubt this fits squarely within the Hubbard definition of "mixing practices." Since when does rising up the Tone Scale equate to the "thinking of God"? And what does Doubting Thomas have to do with the Reactive Mind -- Thomas refusing to believe Jesus had risen from the dead without seeing proof is the reactive mind at work? Hey RTC -- why aren't you doing your job? They are even using your … [Read more...]
The Largest Private Relief Force on Earth
The mighty Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology swung into immediate video action in downtown Clearwater following Hurricane Irma. One of our local Special Correspondents has been documenting their activities. Photos of the photo ops... Venturing 100 yards down Ft Harrison to the nearest patch of foliage they could find, the yellow shirts and their videographer got stuck in to some serious disaster clean up. Remember, this is the largest single concentration of scientologists on this or any other planet in the universe, and this was apparently the best they could … [Read more...]
Why I (We) Write
Saturday -- Terra Cognita day! Yay! Writing is Communication One of the things LRH got right was emphasizing the importance of communication. The more we read and write, the more we understand what’s going on. Writing is connecting with others. Writing is learning. Writing is being. Writing is all sorts of shit. Writing is fun. Discussions on this blog have helped me understand the “stable data” I accepted while inside the bubble as something other than unquestionable truth. Scientology Cut My Comm, Fuck You Very Much For over thirty years Scientology cut my comm. Not only my commu … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Response to Episode 5
Time to take a look at the weekly "response" from scientology to The Aftermath's latest episode. It is of course as pathetic as all their previous efforts because they cannot address the FACTS, so they exclusively deal in ad hominem attacks pursuant to scientology policy. I will endeavor to bring some semblance of truth to the stream of lies they put forth about JB and Jackson. Scientology is wearing a trail into the carpet -- everyone is a bad person, they are all "low-level" nobodies, they all have "confessions" that "prove" they are liars, cheats and thieves and not a single person … [Read more...]
Scientology The Aftermath S2 Ep 5: the Aftermath
Tonight's episode scratched the surface of a subject that many wonder about. What is David Miscavige like and how did he get where he is? Understand, he was NOT anointed by L. Ron Hubbard. Though he likes to show a declaration that HIS lawyers drafted for L. Ron Hubbard to sign in the Ron De Wolf probate case and takes a statement Hubbard made about "good scientologists" in Portland and claims it is about him -- Hubbard did not choose him. In fact there is NO written or recorded statement of what Hubbard wanted in his succession other than his will. But his will does not anoint David … [Read more...]
An Org in Trouble
One of our South African Special Correspondents sent us the latest news from Durban Org. It's not looking good for scientology in Durban. Her comments follow, and then the item to which she refers. This is Durban org’s OTC Newsletter for August. To all intents and purposes it looks like they’re sliding into total oblivion. First pic shows something that happened in July - and at Joburg Org. 6 people – 2 of whom are Sea Org (on the left – they’re a married couple posted at Durban Org). The two chaps kneeling I THINK might also be staff. The other two are Nick & Marina Howarth – pretty … [Read more...]
Guidelines For Posting
Thanks to everyone who took the time to express their support for The Aftermath. There are way to many people to thank individually. Know that the support is what gives us and the brave people who come on the show strength. I am implementing the guidelines laid out below for this blog now. Just kidding... This gives a fascinating insight into the scientology thought control -- so many rules and regulations about what you can and cannot do leaves little room to "think for yourself." I have highlighted a few of the more incredible rules. Group Posting … [Read more...]
