The level of hypocrisy on display in scientology -- in this case, CCHR -- is astonishing. They grab onto "group insanities" and toss off a few examples, starting with "refusal to employ someone or allow them to belong" -- in the face of scientology's disconnection policy? Even beyond refusal to allow someone to belong, it takes it the next step and enforces that those who DO belong are not allowed to even speak with the person who is not allowed to belong. Then "failure to use people" -- check out the slave-labor busy work Sea Org members are engaged in. Or even … [Read more...]

An International Top Executive Not top enough to be named... But this is going to "blow you away" Never heard that before. Wonder what happened? The WTH "movement" in 2014 seems to have petered out Kiddie Corner Sad 13,000 scientology staff in the world? Not a chance -- but even if there was, each one is responsible for clearing 573,709 people? You want to advertise this? Sounds exciting Not really. Maybe the only way... ...they can pretend they are "allied" with a legitimate … [Read more...]

What A Deal! The best investment you can make is give us your money so we can invest in real estate and we will give you a phony certificate. Financial Planning par excellence. Dinner and Graduation Enjoy a romantic evening in the grip of the regges. It's Inspiring Too! Did She Graduate Anything This Week? These orgs don't seem to have much in the way of graduates. Instead, "graduation" becomes "hear from..." while the regges hover. Yeah, Right.... "Now"??? Been working on it for decades and it's not done. What are you … [Read more...]

Tourist Promo Interesting how all promo for Dublin org features the "beauty of Ireland" as the first selling point. I thought this org was put there to "Clear Ireland," the Irish don't need to go to a scientology org to experience the beauty of Ireland. They live there. Correct Title: Scientology Winter Festival The "community" (wogs) are just there for show. They are not much use to the regges. Kiddie Corner Merry R6 Implant Day You would think they could at least not be totally insulting and say "Happy … [Read more...]

Graduation Cocktail Hour? They've taken it a step beyond food in Australia... You can do the Purif here! Only at Flag, Freewinds, possibly the SO Orgs and Narconon. No Class V orgs or Missions. Because we said so. Good News! "In celebration of the New Year, the Christmas season production bonuses and prizes are hereby extended for three weeks: December 23 and December 30, 2021 and December 6, 2022. International Director of Finance" I guess they didn't make enough cash to pay any bonuses, so "Christmas bonuses" are going to become … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. Thank you. No Thank you. No, thank you... But in the end it's only Ron that matters. Eradicate the Reactive Mind I've got a faster, better, cheaper idea. Don't buy into the idea in the first place. In the end, they coax you into believing you created it in the first place. Holiday Escape Rooms? They lock you in a room with a reg and see if you can get out without going bankrupt? Big News You can bet it has something to do with you giving them your money for their holidays. That is always … [Read more...]
Narconon Goes After Country Music
Scientology and its front organizations (like Narconon and CCHR) live in a world disconnected from reality. They seem oblivious to the absurdity of things they say and positions they take. Narconon is now beginning to sound like prohibitionists, targeting county music for "romanticizing alcohol." Unfortunately, while contemporary country music stars continue to produce great music year after year, there are increasing incidences of romanticizing alcohol in country music lyrics, romanticizing it, glamorizing it, or even construing alcohol with happy times, carefree adventures, and … [Read more...]
CCHR Racist Hypocrisy
In every aspect of scientology, the hypocrisy runs VERY deep. They accuse others of "hate" while perpetrating it themselves. The rail against human trafficking while engaged in human trafficking of Sea Org members every day. They shout loudly about anti-Semitism while supporting and promoting some of the loudest anti-Semites. And here they are again. Complaining that the APA's "recent apology for its support of structural racism understates psychiatry’s racial human rights abuses and its long history of instigating racism..." CCHR thinks their apology is inadequate. Frankly, … [Read more...]
Episode 53: Listener Questions 7
Our next episode of Listener Questions. Always some of our favorite episodes, and as usual, though we cover a lot of ground, we didn't get through nearly all the questions you have sent in. This time we try our best to answer questions about who does the Fair Gaming, what is CCHR, how scientology views the disabled, what PTSness is, The Duke of Chug, scientology's sense of humor and much more. Leah and Mike even act out what happens in an auditing session. It's a lot of fun and hopefully informative. Dealing with Critics of Scientology What is … [Read more...]
