Scientologists emerge as creators of mystery-shrouded movie firm
September 2, 1991, Anne Rackham, Los Angeles Business Journal
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m5072/is_n35_v13/ai_11296190/print
Future Films, the mysterious movie company that arrived in Burbank and
in Garland, Texas, last month with ambitious goals and a huge marketing
splash, is financed and managed by a small group of high-level members
of the Church of Scientology.
Critics of the church, who label the religion a cult and a massive
financial hoax, allege Future Films is a front for the church. They
claim it will be used to recruit new Scientologists, make money for the
church and spread its philosophies throughout the country via its
motion pictures.

I have been asked if I would consider doing more short films set in the

I am currently in a pretty intensive film program but I am interested
in exploring the combine further, maybe in a more narrative sense. Any
such short film would be at a minimum 6-months away. I'll keep you guys

Thomas Paine
Abraham Lincoln has been quoted as saying "I never tire of reading Tom
Paine."
Neither do I. Paine's The Age of Reason was of tremendous help to me in
moving beyond fixed, negative patterns of thought instilled by the
church of Scientology (Miscavology).

David Miscavige Destroys Freedom
September 2, 2011, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/david-miscavige-destroys-freedom/
David Miscavige reached another milestone today. He killed another
once-wonderful creation of L Ron Hubbard: Freedom Magazine.
While Jim Lynch and a cameraman assaulted Mosey and I at the check in
line at Phoenix International Airport this morning, with Lynch
attacking Mosey's father in bargain, in the name of "Freedom" something
was going viral on the internet.
The story about Freedom Magazine's idiotic attack on The New Yorker,
first published by Tony Ortega at the Village Voice, was being picked
up by the New York Times and a number of other publications.

Navy Vets charity officials scrambled under scrutiny, documents show
September 2, 2011, Kris Hundley, Tampa Bay Times
http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/article1189418.ece
The group hired Christopher Szechenyi, a freelance journalist, paying
him $24,000 between April and June 2010, according to records.
Szechenyi, an adjunct professor of journalism at Emerson College in
Boston, drafted letters to the editor on behalf of a Polk County man
who received $1,700 from the Navy Veterans for a barbecue at the James
A. Haley VA Medical Center in 2009. Although the letters were
submitted, there is no evidence they were published in either the Times
or the Tampa Tribune.
Szechenyi, who previously worked for the Church of Scientology on an
unpublished investigation into the St. Petersburg Times, did not return
a call and e-mail seeking comment.

The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology, No. 13: Janet Reitman
September 2, 2011, Tony Ortega, Runnin' Scared, Village Voice
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/09/janet_reitman_top_25_crippling_scientology.php
Scientology seems utterly incapable of understanding a journalist like
Reitman, who weighs all kinds of evidence in order to come up with a
rounded portrait of something as complex as Scientology. But then,
historically, Scientology has had only the most contentious
relationships with journalists -- some of whom have experienced
stunning acts of retaliation by the church and its agents. We're
listing some of them here, writers from the past and present who, like
Janet, have labored to understand Hubbard and his creation, even as the
church fights every attempt to learn even its most basic facts. In the
end, Scientology has crippled itself as it treats every new journalist
as an outright enemy.

Nazanin Boniadi
September 2, 2012, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/nazanin-boniadi/
As Scientology Inc. (the church of Scientology) has so idiotically
already spread all over the comments section at Vanity Fair, Nazanin
Boniadi is a good friend of mine. Naz is a courageous woman who was
ruthlessly exploited by David Miscavige and Tom Cruise several years
ago. Because of the nature of the bond of trust I share with Naz, there
is not much I can share with you about her. But, since her name and a
version of her story are about to go viral, there is something that
people ought to know about Naz. For years, Naz has known that she could
make international headlines and perhaps forward her fledgling acting
career by blowing the whistle on Tom Cruise and his bff David Miscavige.
But, Naz chose not to do so. She wanted to be judged only by the
merits of her skills and abilities. Instead, she intelligently decided
on more quiet and effective means she could apply to effectuate change
in the monstrous institution that so inhumanely attempted to exploit
her and others. Naz quietly and dedicatedly went about establishing a
career powered and supported only by the quality of her talent. She
found time also to forward the cause of effectively taming the beast.
On a personal level, in four short years she became a well-employed
actor and recognized, effective human rights activist.
David Miscavige and Tom Cruise took measures to prevent Naz from
achieving any noteriety - for obvious reasons. But, Naz was undeterred.
She made it in spite of Tom Cruise and David Miscavige.
Maureen Orth is one of a dying breed of real investigative journalists
in America. Through incredible persistence and remarkable savvy Orth
was able to find enough corroboration to tell Naz's story in Vanity
Fair without Naz uttering a word about it. See Vanity Fair's teaser here.

Scientology's Homophobia: Even the Church's Token Gay Guy Was Disgusted
September 2, 2012, Tony Ortega, Village Voice
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/09/scientology_keith_relkin.php?page=all
UPDATE after the jump: Breaking news about Paul Haggis and the Vanity
Fair bombshell about Tom Cruise.
One of Scientology's enduring mysteries is that it has attracted
Hollywood stars when it has such a reputation for homophobia. The
sexual orientation of its top celebrities is always a matter of popular
speculation, and even those with the barest understanding of
Scientology seem to know that if celebrity members are gay, they have
to keep quiet about it.

Narconon meets fierce opposition in Hockley Valley
September 2, 2013, Rachel Mendleson, Toronto Star
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/09/02/narconon_meets_fierce_opposition_in_hockley_valley.html
In Hockley, however, residents are readying for battle. Some, including
Caissie, simply don't believe a rehab facility belongs in the
family-oriented village, which rarely sees police cruisers and has
limited local medical services.
Others have been gripped by an Internet-fuelled panic about Narconon
itself. The program, which includes detoxifying sauna sessions and high
doses of vitamins, is lauded by famous Scientologists Tom Cruise and
Kirstie Alley. But the methods have recently come under fire amid
lawsuits filed by the families of three Narconon clients who died at a
facility in Oklahoma.

Scientology's Norwegian Shrinkage

This article was sent in by Anette Iren Johansen, who is taking time

Something Can Be Done About It. Thanks Anette!
Where is the massive worldwide unprecedented straight up vertical
expansion of Scientology? Apparently it has not yet reached Norway.
No expansion in the richest country of the world? I'm not sure whether
the Vikings are cult proof or if this is just the worst example of
Scientology's failed Ideal Org strategy.

SCIENTOLOGY'S PRIVATE DANCER: A Story of Seduction, Intervention, and Betrayal

AS SEEN ON TV: The title image for Bryan Seymour's report on Today
Tonight The Underground Bunker has teamed up with another Australian
news organization for an exclusive story about Scientology. In this
case, we are pleased to have worked with Bryan Seymour of the 7 News
program Today Tonight.
We coordinated with Seymour to investigate the story of Manuela
Oliveira, a woman who had been a rising dancer building a solid
television choreography career, working on such shows as The Voice, and
The X Factor, and for such stars as Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Paula
Abdul. Three years ago, Manuela moved to Los Angeles from Australia
with her boyfriend and fellow choreographer, Yannus Sufandi, as the two
followed their dreams of breaking into Hollywood.
Two years later, their dreams were disrupted and Manuela had abandoned
her relationship with Yannus. To her family's utter surprise, she had
given up everything to join the Church of Scientology's strict inner
corps, the Sea Organization.

The Gospel According to Jesus
September 2, 2013, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/the-gospel-according-to-jesus/
That is the title of another book by Stephen Mitchell, whose
translation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching I have many times recommended on
this blog and in my books. The subtitle is: A New Translation and Guide
to his Essential Teachings for Believers and Unbelievers.
Mitchell undertakes an effort begun by such noted Americans as Thomas
Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson, both of whom assayed to
differentiate the life and words of Jesus from the hype, falsehood,
misdirection and fear they perceived had been added to the Scriptures
by others.
I am going to share one passage from the introduction of Mitchell's
book that I believe might resonate on several levels with people who
have invested in the Scientology experience.

Hernando deserved better in drug treatment case
September 2, 2014, Editorial, Tampa Bay Times
http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-hernando-deserved-better-in-drug-treatment-case/2195776
Hernando County government poorly served the public with its continued
bumbling of a Spring Hill drug treatment facility affiliated with the
Church of Scientology. The five-year ordeal ended last week with a
nearly $2 million settlement to Narconon Spring Hill Inc. and flummoxed
county commissioners wondering how the clinic's operators circumvented
the county's own code enforcement to house clients in an unlicensed
facility within a residential neighborhood. Hernando residents deserve
a county government that is more thoughtful and accountable than this
expensive lesson illustrates.

Jonny Jacobsen reviews the new Scientology memoir by Hungarian writer Peter
Bonyai

http://tonyortega.org/2014/09/02/jonny-jacobsen-reviews-the-new-scientology-memoir-by-hungarian-writer-peter-bonyai/
Our man in Paris, British journalist Jonny Jacobsen, is back with
another great piece - this time, a lengthy review of the newest book
recounting the journey into and out of the Church of Scientology.
Underground Bunker regulars will recall that Hungarian ex-Scientology
member Peter Bonyai (pictured, right) helped us out with a story in
April on the supposedly transparent and independent Central-European
Religious Freedom Institute (CERFI). (Jura Nanuk, who heads up the
lobbying organisation, had somehow forgotten to mention his allegiance
to Scientology at the group's website. Nor, so far as I can see, has
the situation changed.)
Now Bonyai's memoir of his 10 years as a Scientologist in Hungary is
available in English, Money, Power, Servitude: Adventures in the
Wonderland of Scientology. He translated the original edition himself
and former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder stepped in to edit the
English version.

Scientology Buying Media Stories Again
September 2, 2015, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-buying-media-stories-again/
A new advertorial has appeared from the bubble of self-delusion.
The only reason it doesn't create a flap like the scientology
advertorial in The Atlantic is that nobody reads World Religion News.
(See here if you are unfamiliar with The Atlantic fiasco)
But this does provide some interesting insight into the bubble mindset.
This is how Miscavige tells his troops to get media coverage (he is
afraid to talk to any media or have anyone speak to them in any way).
And it reflects the canned, controlled messages he feeds the sheeple at
his events.

Why Scientology can never submit its drug rehab quackery to scientific review
September 2, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2015/09/02/why-scientology-can-never-submit-its-drug-rehab-quackery-to-scientific-review/
We've been reporting in huge volumes about Scientology's drug rehab
system, Narconon, and the legal troubles it finds itself in for what is
its essentially deceptive business model. Narconon promises
individualized drug counseling by medical professionals in a safe,
drug-free environment, and downplays its connections to the church. But
none of that is true. Not only is Narconon a wing of the church under
leader David Miscavige's control, but instead of delivering drug
counseling, it puts patients through the same exercises they'd get as
beginning Scientologists. It also puts them through a risky and
unscientific regimen of extended sauna use and outrageous amounts of
niacin and other vitamins. But on what theory is that based? Our
frequent contributor, Jeffrey Augustine, shows us that things are even
worse than we imagined, as he looks into L. Ron Hubbard's ideas behind
his "detoxification" regimen.
Recently, you may have read about the federal government paying to
investigate how Narconon's sauna program affects Gulf War veterans. But
as we pointed out, that study is not examining L. Ron Hubbard's
theories for what the process is doing to the human body, only whether
the veterans feel better after weeks of exercise, sauna use, and
vitamin intake. And now, Augustine explains to us why Hubbard's ideas
for what's going on in that sauna will never be examined by science...
Today, we're going to show you what L. Ron Hubbard, the Church of
Scientology, and Narconon are withholding from prospective Narconon
customers and the public at large.

'Finally, I am myself': Scientologists talk about Scientology in a video not

In July, we showed you some wacky screenshots from Scientology's newest
"testimonials" video, which gets shipped out each year with a new issue
of International Scientology News. Well, now we have the video itself,
and we think you're going to love this new entry in this wonderful
genre of Scientology filmmaking.
Our readers in Australia will enjoy seeing singer Kate Ceberano show up
in this video, talking about how she's completed OT 8, the top of
Scientology's "Bridge to Total Freedom." (Blink and you'll miss her.)
We especially like these videos because they are made not for us, the
general public, but for Scientologists, in order to get them amped up
about forking over even bigger amounts for more courses and donations.
And for what? Well, as these videos demonstrate, even Scientologists
struggle to describe exactly what it is that Scientology does for them.
Often, they have to resort to sound effects to give a sense of what's
impossible to describe.

Neither do I. Paine's The Age of Reason was of tremendous help to me in
moving beyond fixed, negative patterns of thought instilled by the
church of Scientology (Miscavology).

David Miscavige Destroys Freedom
September 2, 2011, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/david-miscavige-destroys-freedom/
David Miscavige reached another milestone today. He killed another
once-wonderful creation of L Ron Hubbard: Freedom Magazine.
While Jim Lynch and a cameraman assaulted Mosey and I at the check in
line at Phoenix International Airport this morning, with Lynch
attacking Mosey's father in bargain, in the name of "Freedom" something
was going viral on the internet.
The story about Freedom Magazine's idiotic attack on The New Yorker,
first published by Tony Ortega at the Village Voice, was being picked
up by the New York Times and a number of other publications.

Navy Vets charity officials scrambled under scrutiny, documents show
September 2, 2011, Kris Hundley, Tampa Bay Times
http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/article1189418.ece
The group hired Christopher Szechenyi, a freelance journalist, paying
him $24,000 between April and June 2010, according to records.
Szechenyi, an adjunct professor of journalism at Emerson College in
Boston, drafted letters to the editor on behalf of a Polk County man
who received $1,700 from the Navy Veterans for a barbecue at the James
A. Haley VA Medical Center in 2009. Although the letters were
submitted, there is no evidence they were published in either the Times
or the Tampa Tribune.
Szechenyi, who previously worked for the Church of Scientology on an
unpublished investigation into the St. Petersburg Times, did not return
a call and e-mail seeking comment.

The Top 25 People Crippling Scientology, No. 13: Janet Reitman
September 2, 2011, Tony Ortega, Runnin' Scared, Village Voice
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/09/janet_reitman_top_25_crippling_scientology.php
Scientology seems utterly incapable of understanding a journalist like
Reitman, who weighs all kinds of evidence in order to come up with a
rounded portrait of something as complex as Scientology. But then,
historically, Scientology has had only the most contentious
relationships with journalists -- some of whom have experienced
stunning acts of retaliation by the church and its agents. We're
listing some of them here, writers from the past and present who, like
Janet, have labored to understand Hubbard and his creation, even as the
church fights every attempt to learn even its most basic facts. In the
end, Scientology has crippled itself as it treats every new journalist
as an outright enemy.

Nazanin Boniadi
September 2, 2012, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2012/09/01/nazanin-boniadi/
As Scientology Inc. (the church of Scientology) has so idiotically
already spread all over the comments section at Vanity Fair, Nazanin
Boniadi is a good friend of mine. Naz is a courageous woman who was
ruthlessly exploited by David Miscavige and Tom Cruise several years
ago. Because of the nature of the bond of trust I share with Naz, there
is not much I can share with you about her. But, since her name and a
version of her story are about to go viral, there is something that
people ought to know about Naz. For years, Naz has known that she could
make international headlines and perhaps forward her fledgling acting
career by blowing the whistle on Tom Cruise and his bff David Miscavige.
But, Naz chose not to do so. She wanted to be judged only by the
merits of her skills and abilities. Instead, she intelligently decided
on more quiet and effective means she could apply to effectuate change
in the monstrous institution that so inhumanely attempted to exploit
her and others. Naz quietly and dedicatedly went about establishing a
career powered and supported only by the quality of her talent. She
found time also to forward the cause of effectively taming the beast.
On a personal level, in four short years she became a well-employed
actor and recognized, effective human rights activist.
David Miscavige and Tom Cruise took measures to prevent Naz from
achieving any noteriety - for obvious reasons. But, Naz was undeterred.
She made it in spite of Tom Cruise and David Miscavige.
Maureen Orth is one of a dying breed of real investigative journalists
in America. Through incredible persistence and remarkable savvy Orth
was able to find enough corroboration to tell Naz's story in Vanity
Fair without Naz uttering a word about it. See Vanity Fair's teaser here.

Scientology's Homophobia: Even the Church's Token Gay Guy Was Disgusted
September 2, 2012, Tony Ortega, Village Voice
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/09/scientology_keith_relkin.php?page=all
UPDATE after the jump: Breaking news about Paul Haggis and the Vanity
Fair bombshell about Tom Cruise.
One of Scientology's enduring mysteries is that it has attracted
Hollywood stars when it has such a reputation for homophobia. The
sexual orientation of its top celebrities is always a matter of popular
speculation, and even those with the barest understanding of
Scientology seem to know that if celebrity members are gay, they have
to keep quiet about it.

Narconon meets fierce opposition in Hockley Valley
September 2, 2013, Rachel Mendleson, Toronto Star
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/09/02/narconon_meets_fierce_opposition_in_hockley_valley.html
In Hockley, however, residents are readying for battle. Some, including
Caissie, simply don't believe a rehab facility belongs in the
family-oriented village, which rarely sees police cruisers and has
limited local medical services.
Others have been gripped by an Internet-fuelled panic about Narconon
itself. The program, which includes detoxifying sauna sessions and high
doses of vitamins, is lauded by famous Scientologists Tom Cruise and
Kirstie Alley. But the methods have recently come under fire amid
lawsuits filed by the families of three Narconon clients who died at a
facility in Oklahoma.

Scientology's Norwegian Shrinkage

This article was sent in by Anette Iren Johansen, who is taking time
out from her own blog to act as Norwegian Special Correspondent for
Something Can Be Done About It. Thanks Anette!
Where is the massive worldwide unprecedented straight up vertical
expansion of Scientology? Apparently it has not yet reached Norway.
No expansion in the richest country of the world? I'm not sure whether
the Vikings are cult proof or if this is just the worst example of
Scientology's failed Ideal Org strategy.

SCIENTOLOGY'S PRIVATE DANCER: A Story of Seduction, Intervention, and Betrayal

AS SEEN ON TV: The title image for Bryan Seymour's report on Today
Tonight The Underground Bunker has teamed up with another Australian
news organization for an exclusive story about Scientology. In this
case, we are pleased to have worked with Bryan Seymour of the 7 News
program Today Tonight.
We coordinated with Seymour to investigate the story of Manuela
Oliveira, a woman who had been a rising dancer building a solid
television choreography career, working on such shows as The Voice, and
The X Factor, and for such stars as Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, and Paula
Abdul. Three years ago, Manuela moved to Los Angeles from Australia
with her boyfriend and fellow choreographer, Yannus Sufandi, as the two
followed their dreams of breaking into Hollywood.
Two years later, their dreams were disrupted and Manuela had abandoned
her relationship with Yannus. To her family's utter surprise, she had
given up everything to join the Church of Scientology's strict inner
corps, the Sea Organization.

The Gospel According to Jesus
September 2, 2013, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2013/09/02/the-gospel-according-to-jesus/
That is the title of another book by Stephen Mitchell, whose
translation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching I have many times recommended on
this blog and in my books. The subtitle is: A New Translation and Guide
to his Essential Teachings for Believers and Unbelievers.
Mitchell undertakes an effort begun by such noted Americans as Thomas
Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson, both of whom assayed to
differentiate the life and words of Jesus from the hype, falsehood,
misdirection and fear they perceived had been added to the Scriptures
by others.
I am going to share one passage from the introduction of Mitchell's
book that I believe might resonate on several levels with people who
have invested in the Scientology experience.

The Boston Church of Scientology has signed a two-year lease in a

triggered by its delayed effort to restore its planned home in the
former Alexandra Hotel in Boston's South End.

Hernando deserved better in drug treatment case
September 2, 2014, Editorial, Tampa Bay Times
http://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-hernando-deserved-better-in-drug-treatment-case/2195776
Hernando County government poorly served the public with its continued
bumbling of a Spring Hill drug treatment facility affiliated with the
Church of Scientology. The five-year ordeal ended last week with a
nearly $2 million settlement to Narconon Spring Hill Inc. and flummoxed
county commissioners wondering how the clinic's operators circumvented
the county's own code enforcement to house clients in an unlicensed
facility within a residential neighborhood. Hernando residents deserve
a county government that is more thoughtful and accountable than this
expensive lesson illustrates.

Jonny Jacobsen reviews the new Scientology memoir by Hungarian writer Peter
Bonyai

http://tonyortega.org/2014/09/02/jonny-jacobsen-reviews-the-new-scientology-memoir-by-hungarian-writer-peter-bonyai/
Our man in Paris, British journalist Jonny Jacobsen, is back with
another great piece - this time, a lengthy review of the newest book
recounting the journey into and out of the Church of Scientology.
Underground Bunker regulars will recall that Hungarian ex-Scientology
member Peter Bonyai (pictured, right) helped us out with a story in
April on the supposedly transparent and independent Central-European
Religious Freedom Institute (CERFI). (Jura Nanuk, who heads up the
lobbying organisation, had somehow forgotten to mention his allegiance
to Scientology at the group's website. Nor, so far as I can see, has
the situation changed.)
Now Bonyai's memoir of his 10 years as a Scientologist in Hungary is
available in English, Money, Power, Servitude: Adventures in the
Wonderland of Scientology. He translated the original edition himself
and former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder stepped in to edit the
English version.

Scientology Buying Media Stories Again
September 2, 2015, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-buying-media-stories-again/
A new advertorial has appeared from the bubble of self-delusion.
The only reason it doesn't create a flap like the scientology
advertorial in The Atlantic is that nobody reads World Religion News.
(See here if you are unfamiliar with The Atlantic fiasco)
But this does provide some interesting insight into the bubble mindset.
This is how Miscavige tells his troops to get media coverage (he is
afraid to talk to any media or have anyone speak to them in any way).
And it reflects the canned, controlled messages he feeds the sheeple at
his events.

Why Scientology can never submit its drug rehab quackery to scientific review
September 2, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2015/09/02/why-scientology-can-never-submit-its-drug-rehab-quackery-to-scientific-review/
We've been reporting in huge volumes about Scientology's drug rehab
system, Narconon, and the legal troubles it finds itself in for what is
its essentially deceptive business model. Narconon promises
individualized drug counseling by medical professionals in a safe,
drug-free environment, and downplays its connections to the church. But
none of that is true. Not only is Narconon a wing of the church under
leader David Miscavige's control, but instead of delivering drug
counseling, it puts patients through the same exercises they'd get as
beginning Scientologists. It also puts them through a risky and
unscientific regimen of extended sauna use and outrageous amounts of
niacin and other vitamins. But on what theory is that based? Our
frequent contributor, Jeffrey Augustine, shows us that things are even
worse than we imagined, as he looks into L. Ron Hubbard's ideas behind
his "detoxification" regimen.
Recently, you may have read about the federal government paying to
investigate how Narconon's sauna program affects Gulf War veterans. But
as we pointed out, that study is not examining L. Ron Hubbard's
theories for what the process is doing to the human body, only whether
the veterans feel better after weeks of exercise, sauna use, and
vitamin intake. And now, Augustine explains to us why Hubbard's ideas
for what's going on in that sauna will never be examined by science...
Today, we're going to show you what L. Ron Hubbard, the Church of
Scientology, and Narconon are withholding from prospective Narconon
customers and the public at large.

'Finally, I am myself': Scientologists talk about Scientology in a video not

In July, we showed you some wacky screenshots from Scientology's newest
"testimonials" video, which gets shipped out each year with a new issue
of International Scientology News. Well, now we have the video itself,
and we think you're going to love this new entry in this wonderful
genre of Scientology filmmaking.
Our readers in Australia will enjoy seeing singer Kate Ceberano show up
in this video, talking about how she's completed OT 8, the top of
Scientology's "Bridge to Total Freedom." (Blink and you'll miss her.)
We especially like these videos because they are made not for us, the
general public, but for Scientologists, in order to get them amped up
about forking over even bigger amounts for more courses and donations.
And for what? Well, as these videos demonstrate, even Scientologists
struggle to describe exactly what it is that Scientology does for them.
Often, they have to resort to sound effects to give a sense of what's
impossible to describe.
