Scientology Finally Getting The Negative Exposure It So Rightly Deserves
This is just a brief update to let readers know THEY MUST GO READ this riveting expose on the Church of Scientology and church leader David Miscavige’s violent reign of terror. The St. Petersburg Times did an in depth, scathing and forensic investigation into the cult of the stars.
The Church of Scientology has been a target of this site since we first discovered the Anonymous vs. Scientology video in early 2008. Beginning with the leaking of a Scientology propaganda video featuring Tom Cruise and the simultaneous release of Andrew Morton’s searing unauthorized biography on the film star, Scientology has been under the microscope of several media outlets, as well as the concentrated target of an internet based activist group calling themselves Anonymous.
The past 18 months since this exposure began, cracks have been surfacing within the Church of Scientology and its tightly controlled PR and many who’ve closely watched this unraveling felt certain that this was the beginning of the end of an era of terror, financial and spiritual abuses at the hands of Miscavige and Scientology subordinates.
We will be going over the 3-part expose by the STP Times, but we encourage you to check it out yourself. Also of interest, is Glosslip’s series of articles and first-person interviews with ex-Scientologists on our Glosslip Radio segment at BlogTalkRadio.
More coverage coming soon as we delve deeper into this ground-breaking investigative series.

surely to goodness the Hollywood power brokers are starting to get the message that associating with scientology is consorting with a criminal organization (imho- don’t sue me David Miscavige)
and..cause it has to be said..run Katie run!

This is the story that, according to Mike Rinder, David Miscavige was convinced the BBC would break two years ago. Critics have known that Miscavige was given to violent rages for a long while, it just needed a reputable media source to believe their assertion that Miscavige is paranoid, terrified of not being in control and would never sue.
Hubbard said to ignore minions and followers, find out who is behind any attacks on Scientology, expose their crimes and they will run away. The media are now using the Tech against Miscavige, he knows he has crimes to hide, and he will run too.

I used to believe in this huge urban legend, this meme, this cultural myth of our times that’s grown by leaps and bounds on the internet.
You know, the myth that there’s an all-powerful super-evil UFO-worshipping cult whose global tentacles reach into everything, bribing politicians and police and movie stars, hypnotizing the public into being controlled by a weird electronic device that makes you want to join pyramid schemes and buy armloads of books. And then they tell you to stop talking to your family, to abort your children, to dress in funny outfits and live in a concentration camp gulag. Or maybe they just kill you.
Then I grew up a little. Okay, a LOT. And realized that I used to enjoy such outlandish tales for the same reason I used to enjoy talking with buddies about the CIA and the NSA and the Bilderbergers in college, and speculate on how these shadowy secret guys were gonna declare worldwide martial law, you know, any day now.
I no longer see hints of eviltry by the Illuminati or the Freemasons or DARPA or the Knights Templar or any other secret societies in the news. And that includes the Scientologists.
Are the Scienos perfect? No, far from it. But what man is? Are they anything like the lurid myth that disgruntled weirdos have been trying to foment for years? Naw. But it makes for a great story to give ourselves a shiver while roasting marshmallows around the cyber-campfire, doesn’t it?

While I’m generally a Live And Let Live kind of person when it comes to people’s belief systems (or lack there of), there’s a limit to even MY tolerance level.
I’ve tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve talked about the whole charging money thing. The thing I always pointed out to sort of defend them is that @ least they don’t hide the fact that their services cost money. They’re right upfront about it. Go to their website, and they have the online store to order their books & tapes, with prices set. 15 or so years ago, when I walked into a Scientology center & took that free personality test, they told me that I should take all of these courses that cost X amount of dollars. Soon as I heard that I said no thanks & got the heck out of there. So the folks who do sign up know what they’re getting into, right from the beginning.
And, y’know, I’ll still go see Tom Cruise movies if I think they look good (same for Will Smith, though I really really hope that he’s telling the truth about not really being a Scientologist). But the more I learn about this organization, the clearer it becomes. I can’t comment on all the rank & file believers, but the leaders are flat-out EVIL. This “church” has more in common with the Mafia than it does with any other religious organization.

It’s past time for the U.S. Government to take notice. Time for the I.R.S. to revoke the undeserved tax exempt status and for the Justice Department to let the RICO charges against the leadership of this criminal cult fly.
Keep up the good work.

That little bucket of dog squeeze David MacSavage must be in a state of Reverse Rundown by now. He’s probably been through more pairs of adult diapers in the last three days than Howard Hughes wore in 10 years. What would be nice to see here is a civil suit that will drive his little Napoleon keister out in the open. Then we do what’s called “discovery” … pull out all the stops, subpoena church documents, subpoena church “members,” subpoena everything and then nail his sorry @ss to the wall … and his little dog too.

You’re going to have to do A LOT better than that Johnny.
From a SP Times editorial today:
In recent years the Church of Scientology worked hard to present a kinder, gentler image to the public, claiming it had cast aside the criminal activities, dirty tricks and abusive behavior of the past that brought it widespread condemnation and sent some of its former leaders to prison. But a St. Petersburg Times special report this week revealed the reality behind the new facade: At its core, the Church of Scientology has not changed. It is an organization that uses intimidation and brutality to control its employees, places financial ambition above spiritual service to its members and stops at nothing to undermine its critics.

Hey Johnny you say that the people who are speaking out are “disgruntled weirdos”.
I find that odd, since Tommy Davis admitted that there was in fact beatings. They admittted the muscial chairs took place. They admitted that people where overboarded.?(though they are trying to down play it)
So they confirmed what these “disgrintled wierdos” were talking about. The fact of the matter is, if there were beatings that were witnessed by Davis and MANY others, then why did it go unreported? What “church” would allow this and for what reason?Many more will come foward. Many have been saying these SAME things in the past also for years, not just these four people.
So you are still going to say that ALL these people are disgrunted wierdos? I think not.
Wake up, you have abuse and crime within the organization, why do you find that so hard to believe, when the entire orgainzation is built on a pyramid scheme? WAKE UP!

Incidentally, I’ve seen “Johnny’s” post, word for word, on @ least 2 other online articles. I guess it’s just his job to find every anti-scientology article that he can, and post that comment.

Johnny, “weirdos” have rights too. In particular, the right not to be fraudulently induced into paying thier life savings for auditing when they really needed a doctor.
