Surviving Scientology Episode 18 with Mike Rinder

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?”
