John Travolta

Hey everyone, this week we are continuing in our noble pursuit to deconstruct academic nonsense about Scientology. So far we’ve covered some pretty interesting ground and last week’s foray into the Xenu myth was a particularly good effort. In fact, it was the only well researched and fully neutral review of Scientology we’ve found so far in this book, which was edited by James R. Lewis and has mostly consisted of academic fluff and apologetics on the subject of new religious movements, destructive cults and Scientology. I wish I could say that this week’s chapter is as good as last week’s but unfortunately we are right back in the apologetics zone.
