[Scientology’s loving portrait of Introvigne, from Freedom magazine]Today I am wrapping up my series of articles responding to Implicit Religion: The Journal for the Critical Study of Religion and the series of articles advocating for a new, more “enlightened” approach to studying Scientology in academia. In this week’s analysis, I am taking on the king of NRM scholarship, Massimo Introvigne. The paper he wrote for Implicit Religion is called “Scientology Studies 2.0, Utopia or Opportunity.” Continue reading Scientology’s academic champion: An eager copyright attorney who shills with alacrity

We wanted to help Scientology get the word out about its newest “New Civilization Builders,” which is church jargon for donors who have given at least $1 million toward Scientology’s “Ideal Org” building projects. As you see below, Shawn and Colleen May reached that exalted position at a recent “Alliance USA” fundraising event as Scientology attempts to open several of the new “Ideal” churches around the country. Continue reading Scientology gets another $1 million donor to make entire United States ‘ideal’ for takeover
[Hubbard in Arizona in 1954]Several days ago we dipped into the Scientology publications archive and brought you a rather bombastic boast by founder L. Ron Hubbard that he had, for the first time in history, sussed out how arthritis actually works, and said that with his Dianetic processes it was a cinch to cure. Continue reading Scientology founder’s breathless promotion of his ability to ‘endow another body with life!’
