Two recent blog posts (one; two) have whittled down my continuing interest in Scientology. Abandoned components of Scientology include its Bridge, space opera, ‘Tech’, and policy (‘admin’); none of these hold my interest beyond nostalgia. My formal interest lies solely in Scientology philosophy, by which I mean such things as metaphysics, etc. Recently I started a YouTube channel where I reviewed some of Hubbard’s writings as practice for speaking in front of a camera. Those…

Recently I published an in-depth article covering my (continuing) interest in Scientology. There I clarified that my curiosity lies not in Scientology policy or “tech” (Scientology’s applied psychology) but its philosophy, constrained to such fields as metaphysics, epistemology, logic, ethics, and aesthetics. I also wrote that because Scientology became a religious philosophy by 1954, my interest also includes its theology. However I have since looked into theology—just a touch—and can now confidently jettison Scientology theology…

This is a longer post for those interested. My recent interviews have given me a gift of clarification. First, I have re-uploaded an emended Formal Resignation from the Church of Scientology. I have also re-uploaded a Question I posted to Scientologists affiliated with the Church of Scientology in the days after receiving my excommunication (my resignation precipitated excommunication). I have come to accept that my path forward does not lead back to good standing with…

I was born to Scientologist parents who were members of the Church of Scientology at one time or another. I was a card-carrying Scientologist until 31 years of age, when I began breaking away from the Church of Scientology. Then in February 2022 I formally resigned from the Church of Scientology. And in November 2022 I was excommunicated by the Church of Scientology. So, am I still a Scientologist? In popular culture there are two…

Aug 2023 re-upload with slight amendment. Original post written upon being excommunicated from the Church of Scientology. For those Scientologists affiliated with today's Church of Scientology who happen to stumble upon me, I have just one question: “What would a world run by your organisation look like?” With what you know, independently of me or anyone else, consider all the fruits this tree bears. Consider your various Departments of Inspections and Reports and Special Affairs—what if these had…

2023 Update: In Feb 2022 I posted a resignation from ‘Scientology’. This was a little ambiguous because just as Catholicism is not the Catholic Church, Scientology is not the Church of Scientology. In Nov 2022 I was excommunicated by the Church of Scientology. Since then I have continued my studies and come to different positions and clarifications. At one point I took down my resignation. But that did not resolve the ambiguity either. This emended…
