The Terrible Culture of Scientology: Part 1

Scientology has been a lot of things to a lot of people, some claiming it did them a lot of good while others, not so much. One thing for sure is that Scientology is much more than simply some books that L. Ron Hubbard wrote or a New Age mix of feel good literature and plagiarized psychotherapy. Over the years since L.

[VIDEO] What Scientology Taught Me

[VIDEO] Scientology’s Desperate Media Tactics

From all indications, it appears that the Church of Scientology will soon be opening their Scientology Media Production center in Los Angeles. I earlier stated they would delay the opening as long as possible in order to use the opportunity for as much fundraising as possible, similar to the way the Super Power building in Clearwater Florida was not opened for over a decade and generated over a hundred million dollars as a result. Recent circumstances have forced them to speed up their time table.Read More »[VIDEO] Scientology’s Desperate Media Tactics
