Mike Rinder has an excellent blog post discussing the SeaOrg and it’s “religious retreat” ship, Freewinds. In his post he refers to the SeaOrg as “a paramilitary organization that runs scientology in accordance with Hubbard’s policies and directives.” —https://www.mikerindersblog.org/the-real-story-of-the-freewinds/ My post is not in any way a challenge or refutation of Mike’s. He spent his […]
Read More The SeaOrg is Not A Religious OrderSTAND League’s blog posts are usually off point. Either the post starts out as one thing then turns into an attack, either overtly or covertly, at Leah Remini and Mike Rinder or it is a preachy, patronizing attempt at moral teaching. Enter the recent post by a Laurie Bartilson entitled The Answer to Hate is […]
Read More The Answer to Hate is TruthHe knew. One of the core beliefs of Scientology is that Man is immortal and fated to return over and over.

They are not allowed to question or challenge what they read. The member is […]
Read More Scientology- Actions Speak Louder than WordsIn my short, curt discussion with Reverend L’Heureux earlier he admitted that he did not know very much about Scientology. All he was concerned with was its “Religious Liberty”. Further, he dismissed those of us who are fighting against this cult and trying to bring healing and justice to the victims of its teachings and […]
Read More Running Blindly into the DarknessI understand and respect that not everyone is a Christian and not everyone even believes in God. That is your right. I am writing this article today from a Christian standpoint because it involves a Methodist Minister. No offense is meant to anyone who chooses not to share these beliefs. With the recent issues surrounding […]
Read More Scientology: A Vicious Wolf in Sheep’s ClothingRecently Scientology was caught in yet another lie when it posted a letter allegedly from Rev. Dr. Cecil “Chip” Murray demanding that Disney stop backing Leah Remini’s Scientology and the Aftermath.

Read More Why Not Give Gangs Tax Exemption, Too?Scientology The word conjures up images of space aliens, volcanoes and Xenu.
