Internet Resources on Scientology for newcomers

[Free to shine]

This list was compiled in 2007 although some areas may be outdated (for example Mike Rinder is no longer in). It contains a wealth of resources for people leaving scientology and seeking the truth of what happened to them.

There are other sites as well now, please add to the list.

I think some of those links are broken so if anyone wants to add to the list we can keep the OP updated.

I think some of those links are broken so if anyone wants to add to the list we can keep the OP updated.

I've found and corrected some links, I'll work my way through it. I think the broken links are mostly from Xenu TV when the site changed.

 

[Panda Termint]

It's a great list of resources, nonetheless.

 

[Pooks]

Very nice. Your time and effort in putting this together (and fixing the links) is much appreciated.

 

[Lovinglife625]

This list was compiled in 2007 although some areas may be outdated (for example Mike Rinder is no longer in). It contains a wealth of resources for people leaving scientology and seeking the truth of what happened to them.

There are other sites as well now, please add to the list.
ps Thanks Mary!

An impressive and helpful set of links!

Feel free to add mine to this list if you would like:

[Panda Termint]

Yes, Larry, that's a great link.

Still working on the broken links, there were quite a few. Mostly I have found the correct site but can't find these. If you can, PM me and I will update the first post.

Bradley Woodward's Christianity and Scientology - A Comparison:
http://www.ami.com.au/~bradw/cos/

---8<---

rev. Jan 2011 FTS

I laughed at this one. I knew Brad quite well for about 7 years through Fidonet in the 1990's. He's a Perth-based meek-n-mild Christian Fanatical Religious Zealot, or FRZ as we used to call them. (Actually, we preferred to jokingly tell people that it really meant "Free Range Zucchinis.")

Nice enough guy, but with no real viewpoint about anything. In all that time he didn't once ask me about Scientology, even though he had ample opportunity.

Secondary sources (i.e. compilers of other people's data) such as Bradley aren't really valid sites to be sending people for information. They simply spread the same old tired misinformation without evaluating it.

I also notice that you didn't include Marty Rathbun's site - or at least if you did, I missed it amongst the remarkable amounts of dross.

I didn't compile the list, just checked the links. Perhaps it needs a full scale revision. It's a very big job though and I can only do it a bit at a time. I would actually set it our more clearly. I'll take that link out and if there's any more let me know. Mostly I just clicked it to see if it worked and sought out the ones that had moved.

Burning Bridges by Cathering Jacob. (was on xenu.net)

Hi FTS, sorry I missed this thread. Yes, the list is old and has been updated to 2009 since but not posted since 2008 elesewhere.
Some of the links got cut off in the copy pasting process from one forum to another, some are dead links. Some changedand of course there are many more to add. I will try to update this thread as I can.

Here are some corrections on the above that you mention

Why Are They dead has a new extention, so change the url to this:

Looks like CoS bought up Valerie Emmanuel's expired scientology-kills.org site. Too sad. I or a host of others would have taken it over. Unfortunately, there are no archived copies at Internet Archive.org

re:StopScientology.com
stop disconnection.com
disconnectioninscientology.com

Here are is an archived versions of the ones named above, which are accessable with this longer link, which cannot be broken up for it to work:

The owner of the above, Paul Horner owned a bunch of sites, some of which were taken over by critics or the church, some not. He was a controversial person (propensity for exaggeration, used drugs, and sold them on the net), to say the lest but his sites were good and I was sorry to see some of them go. He certainly knew how to grab attention and those sites helped, despite the naysayers. Hope he's drug free now.

His blog is still up

I will post a longer post with all that I have up to 2009 and bold the ones that are not on what you have in the OP ( which still work to my knowledge)
