Scientology | The Underground Bunker

Another crucial Scientology eyewitness coming forward, starting today at the Bunker

Louise Shekter is a well known name to Sea Org members who sailed with L. Ron Hubbard. Her career in Scientology is rather astounding, from serving on the Apollo, to a stint in the Guardian’s Office, and much more. She’s never spoken publicly about her experiences before, but we’re incredibly excited that she’s beginning to […]

This document really captures what it’s like to be a Scientology indentured servant

One thing that’s consistent about the accounts by former Scientology staffers and Sea Org members is the feeling of being utterly trapped that they […]

And now for this word from Scientology about how great everything is!

On Friday we brought you a rather amazing (and disturbing) recruitment video from the crew at Scientology’s Orlando “Ideal Org.” The video seemed to use a reference to Adolf Hitler as a way of spreading fear over the measures being aimed at the lethal pandemic, and proposed working for Scientology as a kind of […]

We wondered what was in that new Scientology app: Now we know because we got in!

Last week, we told you that we’d heard from a couple of our tipsters that Scientology is putting pressure on members to download a new app for their smartphones that will keep them up on what’s happening at the church’s private cruise ship, the […]

On Wednesday, we showed you a rather voluminous set of mailers that Scientology’s Orlando Ideal Org sent out to church members, hoping to convince some of them to pull up stakes and join the staff at the forlorn […]

Academics bleat over Scientology’s loss in appeals court, and here’s what they’re missing

We know, we know: What academics bellyache about has almost no significance whatsoever, and we should not be concerned with it. And the fact that the article we’re talking about appeared in the Wall Street Journal will get it more eyeballs, but when was the last time you turned to the WSJ for Scientology […]

Scientology wants to know: Why haven’t you signed up to work for them yet?

We kind of feel sorry for the Orlando Ideal Org. Like the rest of the Ideal Orgs around the world, it’s nearly dead after its flashy grand opening and initial push, which is how it always goes. But at least if you were at a dead org like in Miami, you’d at least be in, […]

Danny Masterson gets boost from Mom & brother Chris, who secure his $3.3 million bail

[Carol Masterson, her husband Rusty Tweed, and Christopher Masterson]

One of the side stories we’ve been watching in relation to the criminal prosecution of Scientology celebrity Danny Masterson has been the $3.3 million bond he put up to keep himself out of jail while he’s awaiting trial, which is scheduled for August 29.

He’s facing allegations of […]

L. Ron Hubbard’s galactic adventure: 36 years since the Scientology founder left the planet
