Scientology has long since been unmasked as a behavior control cult, decisive proof of which is widely available online, but it’s legally accepted as a religion in the United States and Australia, and enjoys the legal protections afforded thereto in both countries. Tom Cruise is only a recent example of celebrity advocacy. The organization's tactic of successfully befriending and promoting celebrities is well-established despite all the evidence exposing Scientology as a trick or a trap for all comers . Said former Scientologist and Sea Org staffer Andre Tabayoyon in a 1994 affidavit: "Apartment cottages were built for the use of John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, Edgar Winter, Priscilla Presley, and other Scientology celebrities who are carefully prevented from finding out the real truth about the Scientology organization.”
L. Ron Hubbard’s pre-Scientology collaboration with occultist Aleister Crowley and NASA rrocket scientist and freelance sorcerer Jack Whiteside Parsons in the creation of a “moonchild” should leave no doubt of Hubbard’s interest and participation in the occult. Parsons and Hubbard participated in a ritual overseen by Crowley known as the Babalon Working, famous in occult circles, which was essentially an attempt to summon a living goddess and change the course of history. Almost immediately after the ritual’s conclusion, Parsons met future wife Marjorie Cameron, who he regarded as the Scarlet Woman, right in his own home. and declared it a success. Was he right? The published findings of numerous government inquiries, lawsuits and testimony from former high level members, and expert analysis of group practice, clearly convict Scientology of repeated psychic and emotional abuse of trusting followers.
Jerry Staton's Hollywood, Satanism, Scientology, and Suicide is a methodical exploration of the extent to which Scientology took advantage of the legal system by posing as a religion in the employment of ruthless standards of behavior modification designed to erase and redesign the minds of adherents.

To read the truth about scientology go to
scientology dot org watch the videos. Also go to you tube and see the new scientology ad videos.
Scientology will not tell you the truth. Scientology wants to sell you expensive books, courses, and bring you into their fold. To learn the real truth about Scientology goto xenu.net, and do some internet research. Scientology won't tell you the truth about anything, they're all lies.
Yes, Dianetics and Scientology continue to grow.
Apparently you are unable to contact traumas (let alone reduce them) that include immensely powerful electronic implants designed to wipe out your memory and make you think you are a one-lifetime body.
But with the new Dianetics DVD (4.5 hours that teaches anyone how to benefit from Dianetics) you might be able to at least reduce the trauma of this lifetime's birth and the other things done to you while you were in your mom's womb.
Cheers.
So I guess Todd doesn't believe Hubbard was involved in the occult? Even after all the information written in books and on the web with credible sources. Eyewitness accounts from his children. The letter correspondance between Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons talking about Hubbard. There is also a scientology lecture you can buy where Hubbard calls Crowley his "very good friend" and "someone he admires". People like Todd are the problem. He could be the nicest guy in the world but if you show him a cat and its plain its a cat, Todd has been trained to say no, its a dog. And not only is it a dog, your a criminal for telling me its a cat. It's a sad state of affairs in this modern day of information when an adult person is UNWILLING to search out ALL the information and know the WHOLE truth. They WANT to believe the lies.
Very well articulated. Since the government turns a blind eye when coerced, bribed and blackmailed as Scientology has done, one hope for the quick collapse of the scam cult would be for Alley, Travolta, or Cruise to "wake up."
I believe the internet, with videos, stories, discussion and documentation, will cause a slow collapse of Scientology over the next 10 years. Scientology thrived with anonymity, snagging intelligent capable workers, kids diverted from college often in their mid teens. That pool is drying up. In the last three years, Scientology has become a synonym for brainwashed irrational nut. High-school dropout nutcases like Cruise or Miscavige.
Before Cruise, few people knew who Hubbard was. They still don't, but they know nutty Tom Cruise is one. When they hear Hubbard on YOUTUBE talking about his trips to Venus and Xenu, doesn't take a college grad to figure it out.
It's hard to say if Scientology is growing in the sense that they're getting many new members, many Scientology watchers think not. But it's important for Scientology to maintain a "popularity" facade for bandwagon marketing purposes. They've been known to go into bookstores to buy out all of L Ron's book to inflate his bestseller ratings and then ship the same books back to the stores. Scientology appears to be growing as a real estate holding
company, wonder what happened to L Ron's Swiss or Luxembourg bank accounts when he died, how could they repatriate or launder that money back into the States?
Scientologists are here to save the planet, but only if you give them lots of money first. They are the only ones who can help you, but you have to play lots of money first.
Meanwhile, Scientologists take down your auditing confessions and keep them on file... just in case you ever get tired of paying lots of money and leave the cult. Ooops, your secret confessions you made to the Scientologist auditors are now leaked to the public. Too bad for you.
Wow, what a lot of unsubstantiated statements in this article! This is typical of the type of attacks that Scientology receives on a regular basis. Todd is right……check it out for yourself. I have been using Scientology for years and it has been of great help to me and my family. I am an ordinary guy who makes ordinary money. I spend money on courses and materials, but I have friends who spend more on trips and golf. I spend not as much and I get a lot out of it, I think. You have to decide for yourself if self improvement is something you are interested in!
SELL IT STEVE, SELL IT!!!!!
BTW, Scientology counselling is 1000 dollars an hour and you have to buy it in packages of what they call "intensives". One intensive is 12 hours so you must pay at least 12,000 dollars at one time to begin your auditing to go up the bridge. It is less if you buy more intensives at once, thats how they sell more. Tell me thats ordinary money for the ordinary American Steve?
"Wow, what a lot of unsubstantiated statements in this article!"
Actually, "Steve" every single reference is backed up by a link, often to Wikipedia. You do know about hyperlinks, don't you? The very basis of the internet? After reading the St. Petersburg Times series of articles from last month about the manner in which the COS is run with wanton violence, like Goodfellows, I'm surprised by anything here. Indeed, Hubbards links to Parsons and Crowley have been documented for decades now. No historian would despute them, only a mind controlled member of this "church" would. This cult is both a cult, and a very bad actor towards humanity. Check out the "exscientologykids" website to see what they do the staff children of staff members, child slavery, in effect.
Oh Steve. You are comical. The only unsubstantiated thing mentioned is that Scientology is growing. Every journalist who looked into Scientology, short of allowing themselves to be brainwashed by it, has come away in awe of the depth and freakishness of the scam. There are no clears. There are no super powers. Scientologists don't learn to think for themselves until they get out of the cult.
If you click on the "Scarlet Woman" link near the end of this article, you'll be taken to a Lodge by that name whose logo is extrememy similar to Scientology's.
Hubbard claimed he infiltrated the dark side of the occult on behalf of law enforcement. I guess they tried to suck him in and turn the tables around. Beware when hunting monsters, you do not become one yourself.--Nietzsche
Actually Scienotology has proven to amazingly helpful for over 30 years for my whole family. But there are many vested interests who feel threatened. For example, drug companies, psychs, etc.
The true story of Scientology:
A man writing science fiction at pennies-a-word thinks there's a better way.
He tells people we’re plagued with bad memories.
He charges people to get rid of them using hypnosis.
People eat the crap up to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The old guy gets rich and goes sailing with 14 year old girls.
The U.S. Government charges the old fart with practicing medicine.
He turns his psychotherapy into a religion.
The “church” infiltrates the FBI and the guy’s wife goes to jail.
The “church” continues the con using “personality tests”.
The old guy goes completely nuts, writes about UFOs, space stations and alien spirits.
The “church” gets richer by sharing these "secrets" at the upper levels.
The old guy dies in seclusion.
A midget gains control of the “church”.
The “church” sets up numerous front groups to recruit.
The "church" gets narcissistic actors to join to gain legitimacy.
The midget "church" leader is accused of abuse.
everything will be set right. and the ungodly will pay for all the lies.
There are so many religions in the world from Christianity, Buddhism, satanic rituals, witchery, voodoo and so much more. None seem to be talked about more than Scientology. Why is that? I found countless of media, blogs, and video about Scientology, yet there are way more crime and unspeakable acts within other religions, from reports of child porn in the Catholic Church to young Muslim suicide bombers. Why is Scientology getting all the negative press? Organize religion as a whole has been questioned.
Seems like this blogger should expand its topic to organized religion instead of focusing on one religion with not as many members of more of the popular.
Does anyone agree?
@Tim
Scientology has institutionalized abusive practices. They are deserving of all the attention they are getting, and more. As a totalitarian mind-control cult bent on world domination, disguised as a religion for tax purposes, Scientology doesn't just have some members here and there, doing bad things. As an institution, they condone and promote deceiving people, brainwashing them, and taking their money. They are trained to brainwash and lie. I have no idea what you are talking about with "child porn" and the Catholic Church, but nowhere in their doctrine do they condone such things.
Governments have intelligence agencies with thousands of people working on terrorist issues. Scientology has little attention paid to it, because it hasn't had any renegade extremists bombing anyone, but the reason it is of such great interest:
1. It is wacky and fascinating, and has Tom Cruise as a member.
2. Their goal and vision of world domination is so chilling, they need to be stopped
@ Tim
GABRIEL WILLIAMS plead guilty to rape and sodomy of a 16 year old girl, they were both on staff. He is now a registered sex offender in Northern CA. DONALD STRAWN molested and raped his 2 young step children. He got 44 years. In sworn testimony mother said COS officials threatened expulsion if she reported him to police. He was OT 7. They told her only they could "cure his abberations". Instead they harbored a pedophile.
If you were smart Tim you would google all these names and find out the truth. JAMES BARBOUR. BEN KASLE (who was just arrested a couple months ago) WALLY HANKS. YOLANDA HOWELL. ADELINE BOVA. Tim, why don't you go find out about whats really going on behind the curtain in your "religion"? SCIENTOLOGY HAS COMITTED THE SAME CRIMES AS OTHERS & WORKS VERY HARD TO KEEP IT A SECRET. THEY KICK OUT MEMBERS WHO GO TO THE POLICE WHO TRY TO GET REAL JUSTICE! These are FACTS members are kept in the dark about. PROVE ME WRONG TIM, I DARE YOU TO LOOK UP THE COURT RECORDS!
Health-wise OTC herbs [maybe with a little book auditing] are the best overlooked option in preference to drugs.
Expensive? Hubbard's excellent basic book "Self-Analysis" and others, are on the shelf at your public library. They are well-written, show brains, heart, and make sense. He couldn't have possibly written all of the millions of words attributed to him, by himself. So maybe somebody put some nasty words in his mouth and even fooled the Church. If he was on the run and an international fugitive for a large part of his life, it would have been traceable and therefore practically impossible for him to dictate or distribute policy letters himself. Also, his organization was specifically targeted by the government in an attempt to destroy it through subversion. OTHER PEOPLE saw the potential to make money off of Ron, hence the high course fees. Think about it next time you go to xenu.net!
Good review of a good book. Kudos to Jerry Staton, one very determined man.
People are getting the wrong idea about Crowley & Parsons & occultism in general. L Ron Hubbard was a CON MAN. He CONNED Jack Parsons out of a woman & a lot of money. Hubbard's statement about being friends with Crowley is an outright lie, they never once met. To paraphrase from a letter of Crowley's: "I fear Parsons has fallen under the influence of a confidence man."
Scientology is an evil that has nothing to do with Crowleyan occultism, which is more about humanism & hedonism. Scientology is an evil unto itself, please don't conflate it with "aesthetic evil".
