Enturbuation X 3

From the Leaving Scientology Blog:

"The cults problems have multiplied approximately threefold every year since the mid 1990's. In other words the collapse of sceintology has become exponential. The interesting thing about exponential change is that it appears to most people that nothing much is happening until everything simply implodes. The collapse of socialism in central Europe is a good example- years of quiet decay followed by an almighty bang."

Scientologists, Trapped By Lies

From the Ask A Scientologist Blog:

"Liars will insist that you not look at opposing viewpoints, not do any research on your own or read anything that contradicts their lies. They will say terrible things about anyone who dares contradict them, accusing them of crimes and horrible behavior (but never providing actual proof).

In case anyone missed it, my description of liars' behavior is exactly what the Church of Scientology does.

To newly-out Scientologists: It is embarrassing to find out how much you've been lied to, but that isn't any reason to continue believing in lies. True freedom comes from living with the truth, whatever it is."

Human Rights Activists Celebrate 2009's Many Wins Against Scientology Cult

"As 2009 comes to a close, the Scientology organization is reeling from another year of high-level defections, criminal convictions, journalistic exposes and books detailing the cult's criminal practices, and intense pressure from human rights activists. The Anonymous global network of human rights activists are keen to hold Scientology's leaders accountable for their crimes, which include organized fraud, human trafficking, kidnapping, obstruction of justice, and toxic waste dumping.

Here are just a few of the many recent victories against the Scientology organization, which until quite recently believed itself immune to all criticism, able to do as it pleased in its insane quest to 'clear the planet' of non-Scientologists through the 'global obliteration of psychiatry.'"

And the cult's wins? They're "expanding like never before" of course :)

Scientologists: You Can Never Escape Them

From gawker.com:

"Scientologists: You Can Never Escape Them"

"A tipster in Texas flirted briefly with Scientology when college-age. Then, sensibly, she ran the hell away. Now people she's never met are sending her creepy hand-written notes trying to get her back into the cult.

The envelope was also hand-written, for the 'we're watching you' personal touch"

Lise O'Kane Resigns from cult of Scientology

Yet another soon-to-be-pronounced liar dumps the CoS: Lise O'Kane Resigns.

"I was absolutely disgusted with what Miscavige has done to our technology. With Reverse Dianetics & Reverse Scientology DESTROYING SO MANY LIVES WORLDWIDE, I realized the source of that plague was Miscavige himself. The CoS management in its current form is a suppressive group who are forwarding ILLEGAL ORDERS & downright destructive activities from International Management. This group deal in PROPAGANDA AND LIES & promote this widely throughout the world as unprecedented expansion. ORGS ARE EMPTY & hatred of Scientology is at an all time high yet the focus is to get upstat buildings and raise $ for the IAS to solve the problems and attacks. You cannot get Scientology within the churches any more. The brilliant tech of LRH is just NOT available & in its place is a SQUIRREL VERSION. I assign the Church of Scientology management and all its entities the condition of TREASON."

The 'True Meaning of Christmas,' Miscavige-style

From today's Leaving Scientology Blog:

"Here we have the true spirit of Christmas according to David Miscavige. Spend as much of parishioner money as possible to put on the biggest and most ostentatious display of excess that you can possibly put together. One of these, we assume, went to Tom Cruise. And we have to impress Tom, dont we? Other copies I am sure went to all of the top IAS contributors or, should we say, all of Miscaviges top enablers. Why? To impress them with how well he shepherds their donations?"

Tom Cruise Sued for Allegedly Spying

"There is a long history between Cruise and Sapir. In 2001, Cruise sued Sapir for $100 million after Sapir claimed to have video evidence that Cruise "engaged in a homosexual relationship." That lawsuit settled later that year. In the settlement, both parties issued a statement saying that no such tape existed."

Scientology and anti semitism

From the Leaving Scientology Blog today:

"Scientology and anti semitism."

"Scientology is terrified of international networks (such as Interpol) and has a generalised dislike of bankers and of 'psychs'. Both of these professions are heavily populated by Jews and yet this was not proof of anti Semitism.

LRH seems a genial and all purpose bigot. He was probably happy to take money from any race- but he was also happy to play to prejudice when it suited him. This is why he talked of black people having more overts than white people while he was in southern Africa. It was also why he denigrated Mexicans while in the USA."

A Letter to David Miscavige ... What needs to be said

"In spite of the "statistical" and "good news" overload which you have fed into the system - many of us see through the veil and facade you have fabricated. Your "public relations" lies are quite transparent considering what we actually see. We have seen the actual graphs, the actual statistical information showing the contraction of Scientology since the late 1980s."

Scientology and Rhetoric

"A second defense mechanism is pretended ARC. This involves pretending to be engaged in a conversation while secretly being detached from it and remaining in a separate 'mental room' while planning what to say next."
