We’ve been away from the bunker this week, and we apologize that we don’t have this week’s installment of Scientology on the High Seas. We will make it up to our readers later. In the meantime, we’ll follow up yesterday’s amazing output by our commenting community by posing what we hope will be a provocative and productive question… How does a thetan pick up a new meat body, really? Continue reading Scientology Metaphysics: How Do Thetans Work?
As in the past, Advance! issue 213 features a fascinating piece by L. Ron Hubbard himself — an excerpt from a 1952 lecture — and we found it quite illuminating. We thought we’d summarize it for you, and provide a few direct quotes (under the “fair use” doctrine) to give you its flavor. Now, before we do that, we want to first deal with the heartburn that our independent Scientologist readers are probably already feeling. Continue reading L. Ron Hubbard Explains Your Life “Before Earth”
Based on that, plus some anonymous quotes from “insiders,” the tabs have wondered if his recent divorce has caused Tom to split from Scientology, certainly a juicy notion, since the actor seemed to have placed his loyalty to church leader David Miscavige above all else, even his wife and child. But is Tom really rejecting Miscavige and the church?
But what about the star of the movie? It’s Joaquin Phoenix’s character Freddie Quell who is the main focus of The Master, and we have to wonder, is he based on a real-life counterpart as well? Continue reading Your Thoughts on The Master: Who Was Freddie Quell?
We figure Narconon could use some help paying for all that legal cheddar they’re going to have to fork out. But then we found out that there’s a really fun way to raise money for its coffers, and it’s coming up in a couple of months. Turns out there’s a very popular couple of races in December, and there’s plenty of time for you to register. On December 2 in the Los Angeles area there’s the Say No To Drugs Race Holiday Classic, and a couple of weeks later, on December 15, in Clearwater, Florida there’s the Say No To Drugs Holiday Classic. Continue reading How You Can Help Raise Money for Narconon’s Legal Defense!  Stacy Dawn Murphy That e-mail contained the 69-page order that requires Bend dentist Andrew Engel to pay nearly $348,000 to his former dental hygienist, Susan Muhleman, for religious harassment because she felt forced to quit her job when he kept insisting that she attend a three-day Scientology symposium. At the same time we were jamming to get that story up, however, we were aware that the Murphy family in Oklahoma was making public that it had filed a lawsuit against Narconon’s flagship operation in that state, where their daughter Stacy Murphy, 20, died in July. And much more was happening. So let’s catch up this morning with some links… Continue reading Another Narconon Lawsuit, Oregon Dentist to Fight Order, and More Scientology Links
We contacted Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries, and they sent over the 69-page order in the case, which is chock-full of fascinating detail about what dental hygienist Susan Muhleman went through when she objected in 2009 to being pushed by Engel to attend a Silkin Management Group symposium that October which would have instructed attendees in Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s “Tone Scale” and other Scientology concepts. As the documents below show, Muhleman had the presence of mind to do Internet research on Silkin, Hubbard’s tone scale, and Scientology’s incompatibility with her own faith, Christianity, before telling Engel that she refused to attend the symposium. The state agency agreed with her that she had every right to refuse, and its award is one of the highest it has ever ordered. These days, Miscavige talks up Narconon at the large annual Scientology events he emcees, and there’s no question that the drug program is a big part of the church’s public relations efforts. Meanwhile, plenty of official documents show how Narconon is controlled by executives in Scientology’s “Sea Org,” is licensed through Scientology’s “social betterment” arm, and consists of Scientology training rather than drug counseling. Which leads us to ask: why do journalists still talk about Narconon “ties” to Scientology like the drug program isn’t a decades-old front group that wouldn’t exist without the church? Advertisement
Continue reading How Much Proof Do Reporters Need that Narconon is a Scientology Front Group? A FULL HOUR of Wise Beard Man? Grab some popcorn and find a comfy chair, because you’re going to want to hear Radio Paul interview Mark Bunker about his experiences as one of the most reliable and level-headed of Scientology Watchers. Hearing this only makes us want to see his movie Knowledge Report more than ever. Get that thing done, Bunker! So there was this Nebraska cornhusker, L. Ron Hubbard, who convinced some people that he had unlocked the mysteries of the universe as no one had ever done before or since…
