Realize that anyone who tries to change your mind will try to make you feel guilty, so that you give in. They give you lots of reasons, valid believable reasons, and then blame you for being irresponsible, etc. if you say no. They often work you hard and long to wear you down so they achieve their goal. This article is inspired by Canadian author Mary Kassian over at Girls Gone Wise. Here’s some tools to … Continue reading
Why is Critical Thinking so important? Critical thinking is skills that help us learn to make decisions. It is the ability to evaluate information to determine whether something is right or wrong. To think critically about something means to be open-minded and consider different ways and solutions to tackle a problem. Wait a minute, think critically and be open-minded? Now compare that to some teachings in Scientology where L. Ron Hubbard writes: Critical thoughts: these are always only … Continue reading
Nok en natt med samme mareritt: Den evige flukten. Jeg forsøker å finne gjemmesteder, jeg løper alt jeg kan, hjertet banker. Fienden er hele tiden rett bak. Adrenalin. Jeg treffer på noen mennesker og ber om hjelp. Jeg puster lettet. Jeg tror jeg er trygg, men jeg blir innhentet – hver gang. Fienden er trent i å lyve.

Reaching some ONE MILLION VIEWERS with the message that Scientology leader David Miscavige is abusive and that Miscavige’s abusive orders and behavior is spreading down the church’s hierarchy. It is not some local problem. The insanity comes from the top. Here’s the link to the clip. It is in Norwegian (for now): It is … Continue reading
With Slow TV we are approaching a new era of television. Less noise and less flashing images. This is what Al Jazeera reports. I recommend watching the full 9:30 minutes where both pros and cons share their opinions: I remember well when the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) started its live coverage of the 134-hour voyage along the Norwegian coast line and fjords. I was spending time with my father in Norway during his cancer treatments and the Slow … Continue reading
This week a 4 page article runs in Se & Hør, the biggest magazine in Norway covering how Geir saved my life after I left the Church of Scientology. It also promotes his 1984 book release. The article also covers how Scientologists are not allowed to file police reports on other Scientologists according to their doctrine. And now that I am out of the church I am working on an extensive report which I will hand over to the … Continue reading
