Oh. You can write CoS a letter asking to remove your name.
This is a little like those Internet resume services that somehow get your old resume and post it without your permission.
If you get a lawyer, that might get you into litigation hell with CoS. You could complain to a local newspaper (The St. Pete Times comes to mind}, and send the "letter to the editor" clipping to CoS.
I know of an "I am a Scientologist" webpage that is five years out of date. It's as though CoS is clinging to them, but they don't quite have the nerve to contact the people to update them!
When CoS set up your webpage, did they put a "net nanny" on your computer, so you couldn't access a.r.s. or other critics? |

| Interesting. Tom Sola is my ex-brother-in-law (and his wife is Jennifer). They moved to upstate New York in 1994. They had another kid several years ago. Their personal page appears to be quite dated. (How does one "do" Scientology from small town America? As far as I know, they moved there to escape Scientology. |

AE,
Thanx, I posted this about a year and a half ago. I actually have been working on the updated list which I will post in a few weeks. It will include the registrant of many Scientology connected websites.
I have a theory.
Scientology used to have a website called "Theta Directory" which aptly was at www.thetadirectory.com This site was a Scientology business phonebook. Just about every Scientologist that had their own small business had a link on it. I suppose it was a way for the cultmembers to do business with eachother, as a way of keeping the money in the cult. It was at this website where I got so many of their domain names from.
Well, a year and a half later the site is down. Why? I suspect (and I can't back this up) that my posting of all these businesses here had the effect of "outing" them as Scientology front companies, and income sources for the cult. The list was posted to a.r.s and many people would have seen it and could have boycotted these companies.
I suspect having Theta Directory was a foot bullet and they took it down. They also do not show the WISE list anymore. I think they don't want the public to know who is shovelling money into the cult.
Scientology also had a singles website, "Theta Romance", for lonely Scientologists. It was so pathetic, all these whiny Scienotologists pining away for a 2D. It was at www.thetaromance.com the site is gone and the link now goes to a hardcore porno site. |

You can look for a relative with a CoS website by staying on this thread and clicking
Edit
Find
Then type in the surname or the first name, whichever is more unusual. If the first name that comes up is someone else, keep clicking "next" until you run out of names.
Remember that nicknames, mispellings, and middle initials could make a name hard to find. Try various possibilities.
When you find the name, look up that person's CoS website, using this as an example:
The URL of, say, A.Lloyd McPhee's personal Scientology website is at
http://www.our-home.org/alloydmcphee/ |

I found my Aunt on a list here.....
Subject description: Sorry for digging up an old thread!

Well, this is my first post here.
I've known my Aunt was a Scientologist for a while now, but I didn't know what it was. I heard it was a cult but didn't think too much of it.
I went to her house recently and found a giant book on Scientology and got curious. The whole thing with Tom Cruise promoting Scientology got me curious too.
So last night, I did a wikipedia search on it. Holy crap... that stuff is freaky.
I can't believe my only blood Aunt would buy into it. I sometimes sorta believe that past lives exist, and I believe in aliens... But I wouldn't devote my life to a myth that a fiction writer/cult leader came up with.
So then today, I found my Aunt on a "Meet Scientologists Online" thing. It was definitely her...her description was exact...even the companies she worked for. And then I find her in a copy of the same list here.
But what do I do? Can I get her out of it? We're not that close...so I don' t think I could sit down and talk with her.
I kinda feel like I'm on a mission now...to stop the nonsense... this organization sounds like a money snatcher.
I also read up on this Ron Hubbard fellow. What's his deal? He's an ex-rosicrusion/satanist/homosexual/con-artist??????
Hope I didn't post all this in the wrong place. I'm new.  _________________ I hope the scientology henchmen don't come and get me. |

hi karen...
by and large this is an anti-Scientology board. i do not share that view but im going to respond anyway. is your aunt happy? does she like what shes doing? is she pressuring you to do anything you dont want to do? if shes happy, she's an adult and can believe as she likes.
Scientology works for me, it has positively impacted my life and the lives of the people i am around, scientologists and non Scientologists. what i see on the internet in most critical sites does not reflect anything about the religion that i am a part of or the people that i know. doesnt mean the church is perfect, dont get me wrong, but personally i dont care a whole lot about LRH's bio, i care about the product, and i care about the tech. but theres also a lot of rumor and falsification on the internet.
if you are going to give the critical internet sites a chance to make their case, it is fair to give the same to your aunt as well. everyone's religion is someone elses myth, except if you try it and it works for you too. you might be surprised, pleasantly so. |

Hi Karen! Thank you for caring. My advice to you would be to read as much as you can...many of us have either "woken up" ourselves or have family and friends we are concerned about, or care very much about the issues of free speech or human rights, etc...etc.
It is not easy to get a scientologist to wake up and smell the coffee, because scientology uses hypnotism and other mind control techniques to control people, and some are more suseptible than others.
Just learn as much as you can, and don't be too aggresive in telling your aunt she is in a cult. She won't believe you, and might be ordered to disconnect from you completely.
www.lermanet.com and www.xenu.net both have alot of information and links to other sites that are very helpful.
Please keep posting here, and if you have any questions about a specific location or things you have heard, I and many others will be happy to answer your questions.
All my best to you and yours, Ladybird |
