Sadly, too many people pass away without the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones. Those who die in tragic accidents or without warning. Others in other cities or countries that make it logistically impossible for a final face-to-face meeting. Some are estranged for whatever reason and don’t reach out to them, even when they often regret it as they take their final breaths and it has become too late. Then there are those who have had their familial relationships sundered by their beliefs -- that it will be spiritually harmful to associate with “non-believers” or those who have bee … [Read more...]

More Words of Wisdom from Ron
It is quite remarkable the level of foolishness a devoted scientologist is willing to accept if it is the words of “Ron.” As I have mentioned often, all that is required for any scientologist to buy into the most incredible statements is to attach the letters LRH to the end of the sentence. It is so absurd that it is seen as especially “impinging” if the statement is nonsense on its face. This seems to be proof that the “LRH quote” is profound — something us mere mortals perhaps don’t have the capacity to comprehend. The condescending “good scientologist” will assume the knowing look of “how … [Read more...]
The Pinnacle of Scientology Accomplishment
OT VIII is the end of scientology. The ultimate attainment of "spiritual freedom" and cause over Matter, Energy, Space and Time. This is what scientology proudly presents to the world to convince everyone to give them money to also experience what this individual has achieved... It starts with a description of this being "So simple”... And then claimed his/her success stories caused the supervisors to experience his/her universe explosions too... But “alas there is an EP”(?) and he/she knew it because he/she started to cry (?). All thanks to COB -- from one poet to another this is f … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard: How to Deal with Bullies
The words of L. Ron Hubbard are often contradictory. And yet, according to his dictates, his words are to be "duplicated and applied exactly without alteration"... even when he says diametrically opposed things. What defines a Floating Needle -- "loose and free" or "rhythmic"? Are you supposed to love your enemies or destroy them? Do you forgive or always even the score? Never evaluate for a pc unless the meter tells you otherwise? There are literally thousands of these. I was sent this promotion piece and it was SO contradictory to one of the most well-known things Hubbard wrote … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
A total PR front They are as interested in understanding other faiths as they are in giving money away for charity. It's all for show. They HOPE... An artist. A VIP. Or an Opinion Leader shows up. Unlikely, but hope springs eternal in the bubble of scientology. It begs the question... Why didn't he do this in Zimbabwe. They bought TWO ideal org buildings in that country? The answer is they have two buildings and no orgs... It's simple... The magic is that once you get started you can't get off it and you have to pay … [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...]
Scientology for Never Ins
There is a new book available on Amazon by a regular reader of this blog and major supporter of the campaign to end the abuses of scientology. I asked Stefani for a short description. The book is just supposed to be a starting point for Never Ins who hear some of the strange words and phrases Scientology uses but aren’t clear on what they are. I also tried to use real examples and facts to show how, no matter what Scientology says, there is always proof they’re lying. Explaining Fair Game, I used what they’ve put you through to show the Policy is still alive and in force. I wanted to real … [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...]
How to Talk to Friends and Family about Scientology
Terra is back with another thought-provoking essay... How to Talk to Friends and Family about Scientology A friend passed along a promo piece about an event entitled “How to Talk to Friends and Family about Scientology.” Back in the day, I would have attended without thinking twice. Communicating with family and friends about Scientology was valuable, both as a way of explaining what I was doing without them flipping-out, and as a way to bring new people into the fold. I’m a lot smarter now. Now, I look at what lies beneath the seemingly innocuous promot … [Read more...]
