Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology. -

No Science in $Cientology About Says It All
¡ ¢¤£ ¥ ¡ £ ¦¨§ © Scientology books are sold as scientific. For example: What the cult calls Book One, titled Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health. There's also A History of Man, billed by L. Ron Hubbard (the Founder of Scientology) as "a cold-blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years". However, there is no scientific validation of the contents in these books. Yes, No Science in $cientology about says it all. Despite the fact that Dianetics and Scientology together are nearly 50 years old, there has never been any scientific verification of the principles that the Scientology cult teaches. In fact, the only two experiments in existence to address Scientology principles have shown that these principles do not hold up under experimental evaluation. Of course, this may not be surprising - the first time Hubbard wrote about Dianetics, it was published in Astounding Science Fiction Magazine (the May 1950 issue), not a scientific journal. You can see the cover of the Astounding magazine in question here: http://www.primenet.com/~cultxpt/cos.htm The first experiment was Dianetic Therapy: An Experimental Evaluation by Harvey Jay Fischer. This study was submitted in 1953 to Fischer's sponsoring committee as part of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy in Education he was pursuing. From the abstract of Dianetic Therapy: An Experimental Evaluation by Harvey Jay Fischer: "Dianetic proponents specifically claim effectiveness in only three areas: intellectual functioning, mathematical ability, and personality -

Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike Mcclaughry 1999
Scientology: CRIMINAL TIME TRACK ISSUE I by Mike McClaughry 1999 The following is a Time Track that I put together for myself and some friends at the time, in 1999. I originally used the pseudonym “Theta” at the request of Greg Barnes until he was ready to “go public” with his defection from Scientology. I also used the pseudonym “Theta 8-8008” around this same time period. Bernd Luebeck, Ex-Guardian’s Office Intelligence and then Ron’s Org staff ran the website www.freezone.org. In 1999, just after my time track was released privately, Bernd used it on his website as-is. He later expanded on my original time track with items of interest to himself. Prior to my doing this time track, Bernd, (nor anyone else involved with Scientology on the internet), had ever thought of the idea to do things this way in relation to Scientology. Mike McClaughry BEGIN An open letter to all Scientologists: Greetings and by way of introduction, I am a Class 8, OT 8, who has been in the Church for many decades and I am in good standing with the Church. I am a lover of LRH’s technology and that is my motivation in writing you and in doing what I am now doing. It came to my attention, sometime in the not too distant past, that the current top management of the Church, particularly David Miscavige, is off source. One of the ways he is off-source is that he has made the same mistake as the old Guardian’s Office staff made, engaging in criminal activities to solve problems. -
