After all the new “Ideal Org” churches David Miscavige has been opening around the world in the last decade, there must be a giant surge of new members joining the Church of Scientology, right? Um, well, no. In fact, the figures from the 2011 England and Wales census are out, and they are grim. In the […] Tiziano Lugli just released at his website a new version of the “Blown for Good” rap that he and Marc Headley (author of the book Blown For Good) conceived and recorded. When we were in Los Angeles, Tiziano played for us a version of the song that featured several ex-Scientologists, including Nazanin Boniadi, who was once […] Speak of the […] Well, we’ve been looking forward to bringing you this for some time now, and thanks to the folks over at Gawker, it’s now live, for all the world to see. The too-cool-for-school commenters over there will crap all over the video of course, which is as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. But we trust […] Alexander Jentzsch, a “Middle Eastern” man? That’s one of the odd things we found in the autopsy report of the son of Church of Scientology President Heber Jentzsch, who was found dead on July 3 at the home of his in-laws. We reported earlier what the Los Angeles Department of Coroner told us, that Jentzsch died […] Once again our tipsters have come through for us this week, and we have another diverting set of Scientology fundraising mailers for our Sunday Funnies.

Ron Hubbard thought of past-life therapy as a form of make-believe. Scientologists, however, take very seriously […] UPDATE: JUDGE COVINGTON AGAIN DECLINES TO STEP IN ON KEN DANDAR’S BEHALF. More on our afternoon update below Ken Dandar gets his second chance today to convince federal Judge Virginia Covington in Tampa, Florida that his civil rights are being violated by a conspiracy between Florida’s state courts and the Church of Scientology. Dandar is asking Covington […] How does yet another self-published book revealing the “secrets” of Scientology stand out with so many others appearing in the last few years? Well, we guarantee you haven’t read one like this. Vance Woodward is a Bay Area lawyer who fell into Scientology at only 14, spent 22 years struggling through the church’s auditing, and handed […] Last year on this day, we wrote this: On December 5, 1995, a 36-year-old woman perished while several people were taking her to a hospital in Florida. Within a few years, the mysterious and strange circumstances around the death of Lisa McPherson — who had been a Scientologist since the age of 18 — had the Church […] |
