Surviving Scientology Episode 18 with Mike Rinder

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Mike Rinder discusses the Scientology PR flack Sylvia Stanard’s recent speech about Scientology at the Chataqua religious conclave. Stanard lied about Xenu, Disconnection, and other matters of substance. Stanard was evasive and refused to honestly answer questions. Mike Rinder makes the point that no Church of Scientology spokesperson can tell the truth — and Rinder knows as he was the International Spokesman for the Church of Scientology for over twenty years.

Mike Rinder makes the point that all the Church of Scientology can do is to evade, duck, and deflect the hard questions and does so by focusing on its real estate portfolio as proof of its expansion. “If Scientology were really that bad would we be purchasing and opening all of these new Ideal Orgs?”

Listen to the Intelligence gathering done on a target to extort maximum money. What are his buttons ? How much is his net worth ? Does he have a boat ? What investments ? The “FSMs” are the feeders that make 10% of money they extorts.
The Church with frenzied shark feeding at the smell of blood.
It’s so Ecclesiastical !

Surviving Scientology Episode 14 with Chuck Beatty

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Former Sea Org member Chuck Beatty and Jeffrey Augustine discuss a perennial debate: Did L. Ron Hubbard appoint David Miscavige his successor, or, did David Miscavige seize power? Chuck also discusses his experiences in Author Services Incorporated and the way Miscavige used ASI to assume power over the Church prior to becoming COB RTC. Chuck describes how ASI was created as a legal way to funnel money to L. Ron Hubbard. Jeff mentions a little known fact: David Miscavige had a life-threatening asthma attack in 1980. Emerging from this crisis in a hospital emergency room, David Miscavige told Paul Grady that he had a revelation that “Power is Assumed” and thereafter began to assume power in the Church by whatever means it required.

This is part 2 of an on going Series exposing “Author Services”.
