Yeah, regarding that suicide hotline post I reblogged: I genuinely worry, with the number of mentally ill people on this site trying to live with and/or ease their mental illness, that some of these people are going to get tricked by Scientologist anti-psychiatry propaganda. I mean, that’s how cults lure people in; they pick people who feel there’s something missing or wrong with their lives and take advantage of them by claiming to have the solution to all their problems.
I’ve joked in the past about “What if the Church of Scientology got a Tumblr?” but there’s a part of me that’s worried that there are Scientologists on Tumblr trying to spread dangerous misinformation about mental health.
I hope that part of me is wrong.
UPDATE: So, uh, turns out a branch of $cientology technically HAS made Tumblr blogs. Several of them. If you see any blogs promoting a drug rehab facility called “Narconon”, please be aware that they ARE associated with the Church of $cientology, and they have a rather troubling history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon
2ND UPDATE: Same goes for any blogs promoting Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights#Controversies_and_criticisms

And yes, yes it is very suspicious that they use so many totally unrelated-sounding organisation names to hide their involvement in so many areas of work, life and advocacy. Possibly because most people know damn well that they are, in the exact words of a British High Court Justice (Judge Latey), “Corrupt, sinister and dangerous” as well as a “cult”, and “both immoral and socially obnoxious”. Avoid them. People quite literally die under their involvement.
