We asked the producer of Believer, CNN’s series featuring University of California Riverside creative writing professor Reza Aslan, for the chance to view the episode on Scientology that’s airing this Sunday, but we haven’t been given that chance. Continue reading Reza Aslan is already being dishonest about indie Scientology ahead of CNN episode
[Lemberger leaves court with Scientology’s Eric Lieberman, Mattan Ben Shaul, and Monique Yingling]
Dani Lemberger is back from a well-deserved weeklong vacation in the country of Jordan and we talked to him briefly yesterday, asking him what he could say about his recently concluded trial in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Rod Keller continues to get us crucial information on Scientology’s latest takeover attempt in Clearwater, Florida. Once again, he’s worn away some shoeleather for us… Continue reading Scientology’s pitch to Clearwater: Let us buy land for hotel, and we’ll gussy up downtown
We’ve noted in the past that when it came to Leah Remini, Scientology wasn’t following its usual retaliation playbook. After Leah’s defection from the church became public in July 2013, and then she filed a missing person report on Shelly Miscavige (the vanished wife of church leader David Miscavige), and then in 2015 came out with a best-selling book about leaving Scientology titled Troublemaker, frankly, we were pretty surprised that the church limited its response to a few dismissive and catty statements by church spokespeople.

THR says the second season will have ten episodes and will air this summer. Continue reading Leah Remini’s second season of ‘Scientology and the Aftermath’ — what do you want to see in it?
Perhaps the number one question we get from people who are new to our website or on Twitter is, with all of the evidence and history of Scientology abuses over so many years, why doesn’t law enforcement do something about it? Continue reading Sheriff’s deputy on what Scientology does behind its gates: “That’s not my business”
