Scientology and the Internet

In various ways, at various times, the Church of Scientology has encountered and interacted with the internet. Today its web pages number in the thousands because most of its churches maintain a web site of their own, in addition to the central organization, and associated pages such as Studytechnology.org.

As the Church has developed an internet presence, it has run ads, or adverts, which show themselves on web pages related to Scientology searches. This has brought some reaction by some critics.

Recently the Church, having established a video internet presence including YouTube.com, begin a television advertising campaign, which, it has announced, will run until the end of the year, until December.

Statistics can be difficult to follow, but online reaction to the Church’s television campaign is unmistakably. In the face of critics here on RantRave, who insist the opposite, the Church’s web traffic has risen nearly 500 percent. Of the many internet web sites around the world, Scientology.org is nearing the 5000th most visited web site.

This is one result of a free internet, of free speech, and of the lawful protection of copyrights every author deserves.

Of course the cults website traffic will increase when the media exposes them. Everyone knows the cult is nuttier than a fruitcake, people are looking for a train wreck to entertain them. Scientology will never be anything more than a freak show, learn to accept reality and move on

Don't let the high ups get arrested again.
Don't get banned in France or Belgium.
Don't have the lieutenants come out against you.
Don't let members of the cult die under your care.
Don't let anyone read the nonsense that LRH wrote.
Don't let members go off with WOGS for long.
Don't tell people statistics that you can't back up.
Don't try any OT phenomenon in public.
Don't tell people that LRH visited heaven twice.

Taken from http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/scientology.org but don't stop with a single statistic that I'm not backing up. Go right ahead to http://www.quantcast.com/scientology.org and http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=scientology.org which.

33 months ago: The thing that has fooled everyone about Scientology stats going thru the roof, is that every time someone buys any book by LRH, he is now counted as a Scientologists by Ronbots. Or if they take a personality test and never take a course, he is now counted as a Scientologist. Or if he takes a mini-course and never comes back he is now also counted as a Scientologist.

That is the lie behind the rapid increase in Scientology. This is a propaganda brain-washing war that they know they will lose, because we know that it is a LIE.

if they only counted the scientologists that actually signed the billion year contract, they would be exposed as frauds. That is why they use a plain visit to a center, website or a book sale as proof that they are increasing in numbers.

Don't let their stats fool you -- Scientology is NOT increasing worldwide, but it is on a steep downward spiral.

It is failing because of its own policies to harm other human beings. No REAL Church encourages its members to harm, kill, hurt, abuse or attack people that want to tell the world the truth as they saw it within the CULT.

Always look beyond their words and you will always see their frauds.

Remember that Ronbots would gladly lie, cheat, steal, kill, hurt others for the cult.

30 months ago: Recent information- apparently, the CoS is rewriting the scientology/dianetics dictionary, which currently defines scientology in such a way to only include active/practicing scientologists.
bet you a thetan that this definition will be changing at that time to support the current management adherent claims.
