I was raised a Scientologist from the age of 6. Since I first spoke out to the then St Petersburg Times in 2009, I have done all I could to bring about change to end the abuses within the church. The philosophy of Scientology is not the same as the organization and its practices. There is much in the subject of Scientology that is harmless and makes sense to people.

More scientology sickness hiding in plain sight. This is one of Hubbard’s most important edicts on dealing with the media. It lays out scientology’s policy on how to “control the press.” It is the first policy in the “hat pack” of every scientology PR person. This is not “historical” or “we cancelled ..read more

It was one of the early announcement that Miscavige made, touting his “ideal org” program, and even had a “fly-through” CGI video showing what ..read more

Scientology is the only organization claiming to be a religion that has it’s own “intelligence”/dirty tricks branch. It is unique in that the “doctrine” of scientology (i.e ..read more

This letter was recently received by one of our readers in Australia. They have entered the stratosphere and are building a whole new world of stability and command over the environment using the most powerful tech in the Universe.

This was originally posted under the title: Auditing Scientology: Reexamining Tax Exemption Eligibility which was the title of the article written by Taylor Holley. I believe the ongoing public policy violations alone should be the immediate end of scientology’s tax exempt status.

This is an earlier post I am updating, along with a new YouTube video today. In the wake of the Danny Masterson rape trial (soon to be retried after the jury ended up hung), many are curious about scientology’s position with respect to reporting crimes to law enforcement. Scientology responded to reports they forbid this ..read more
