A few things I believe about Scientology: 1. L. Ron Hubbard was a con man and this was the ultimate con. He laughed all the way to the bank. 2. Dave Miscavige is an egomaniac and he beats his employees. 3. Dave's wife has been missing for over a decade, only heard from through a lawyer, and I...
Disclaimer: Lots, and lots of cursing during this review. Even more so than usual for me. A lot of anger, too. Just a heads up! Okay, goofy title. It's a throwback to one of my favorite concept albums, which is Stone Sour's The House of Gold and Bones. And I couldn't think of a better title than t...
I always thought Scientology was silly...but I also thought it was harmless. My way of thinking is you can believe whatever the hell you want so long as it makes you happy or a better person, and that you don't use those beliefs to harm others in any way.

BEYOND BELIEF "BEYOND BELIEF: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape" was a completely captivating and informative and told the story with compassion. The author Jenna MisCavige Hill is the niece of Scientology's Chairman of the Board or C.O.B. David MisCavige. The book revealed t...
I felt like I needed to take a long shower after finishing this book. I considered abandoning it several times as it continually made my skin crawl. It doesn't help that the "victim" of the book is very unlikeable. The title "Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church" suggests that Lauren Dr...
This was an interesting book. The writing itself was not that good, but that did not detract from the experience of reading this. I think Drain needed to write this, for herself: to vent, to rationalize, and it was a form of therapy for her. I respect that narrative. I will say one thing about the ...
