Fox News vs Anonymous
Anonymous is in the news again today for setting up demonstrations outside various Churches of Scientology. Here’s a video from a year ago, from Fox News, showing what the group Anonymous is really about. They haven’t been just cyber-terrorists for some time, they are actual terrorists and the Church of Scientology is just their latest […]
“Anonymous” Hackers going after my server.
My server has been the target of 174,000 attempts to hack into to the control panel over the last 24 hours, most coming from one IP address in Germany. I’ve reported the abuse to the appropriate German authorities; we’ll see if they do anything about it. That’s two attempts *per second* to log into my […]
New Marriage Help Blog by my friend Stan Dubin
My old friend Stan Dubin has a new blog about helping marriages succeed. I’ve added it to my blogroll but I thought it deserved its own post here as well. Stan is a long-time Scientologist and the author of “When the Thrill is Gone” Congrats, Stan, on the new blog, and good luck!
Clayton Holmes helped by Scientology courses

It was good to see People Magazine come to the defense of Tom Cruise’s religious beliefs this latest issue.

Here’s a video from MSNBC:
Church of Scientology’s Reply to Andrew Morton’s “Pack of Lies” about Tom Cruise
The Church of Scientology is reported to have issued a statement about Andrew Morton’s unofficial biography of Tom Cruise, aka “the pack of lies”. The statement is being carried by MSNBC, here. Most of the lies (except the ones that Morton simply made up) are pretty consistent – the are the same lies you find […]
Dianetics – the book I’m reading
I’m doing an extension course on the book “Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health”. The last time I read this book was about 30 years ago. I’d forgotten how much info was in it, and what a kick it was to read this book. The work you do on the extension course makes sure […]
Scientology Portland buys new building
My local Church of Scientology in Portland, Oregon, has just bought a new building, located at 812 SW Washington St., downtown. The building was bought for about $5 Million, using donations from the thousands of local Scientologists (including me!) There’s no mortgage – it’s now owned outright by the Church. A little personal history – […]
