For once Scientology gives up on Ideal Org, settles for a fancy ‘mission’ instead

This week Scientology opened an ‘Ideal Mission’ in San José, Costa Rica. They have abandoned the plan to open an Ideal Org in the capital city and have sold the property they purchased for that purpose. As they did in Panama, an Ideal Mission will have to serve in place of Latin America’s third Ideal […]

Scientology and eyesight: The familiar totem of claiming clarity of vision to emulate Ron

After I completed the Purif I felt light, with a renewed source of energy, could focus more clearly and I’m more determined and excited for the future. My eyesight has improved slightly. I also feel very above and in control of my body. Thank you to the Purif staff and to […]

Scientology honors its bodysnatchers with stars on its Xenu-rrific walk of fame

Scientology has two main awards ceremonies per year.

Here’s his report on another […]

Scientology Santa: The church built on Jesus as a hoax once again co-opts Christmas

[R6 Santa at the Hollywood Winter Wonderland]

Christmas time is here and as usual Scientology celebrates the holiday in somewhat creepy ways. The public events are examples of “safepointing” to create allies that can be called upon when the church is attacked. But Scientology celebrates Christmas in private as well, with decorations, parties and gifts. […]

Scientology trying to use its UN connections to fight its favorite bogeyman, psychiatry

Scientology has a new article from front group CCHR, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights. For years Scientology has courted the United Nations as it fights attempts by governments to tax, regulate, or prosecute the church. In August we reported that a Scientology front group was granted Special Consultative Status by the UN. […]

Scientology amps up shattering suppression in the wake of Leah Remini’s onslaught

In the past year we have seen an increase in the number of Scientologists taking the How To Confront And Shatter Suppression – PTS/SP Course. It’s been a required course for years and one that many members have done repeatedly but now we learn it’s been revised again, this time with more “clay demos.” It […]
