Scientology Research Project Index: An Overview of Scientology

Wise Old Goat searching in the looking-glass

Scientology Research Project
Index

Composed of studies that have been instigated since basically March 2003. The original objective reached its completion near the end of 2007. Two unexpected although vitally necessary treatises saw their release in respectively Aug 2010 and Aug 2012. Since May 2013 this project was essentially a completed work as its original aims had been accomplished (first stage completion). Since that time the studies continued to be updated, corrected, revised, polished up, reworked, extended upon, or new angles tackled (new chapters/pages). The basic research reached its completion in Feb 2024 when all loose ends were addressed and followed through (second stage completion). Jul 2024 saw the release of a thorough review of “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (2016-19)”. It offers a total of 2040 pages of information if printed, and 283 pop-up windows (another +500 pages if printed).

The range of the topics tackled is wide. However that which has turned to be a sort of ‘backbone’ of this research is the timeline/chronology found at “The whereabouts of L. Ron Hubbard chronology” (see at section 6 in index). A simple culmination of and a holding up of most of the other topics tackled at an earlier date and that effectively puts matters into place. The ultimate purpose for publishing all these researches is for the sake of education, the killing of rumours, clearing up a large array of misconceptions, and opposing deliberate misrepresentations. With 2 particular valuable evaluations released as “Analysis of HCOB 24 Jan 77 ‘Tech Correction Round-up’” & “Overview of Tech changes during 1978-82 versus A lost Bridge” (see section 5b in index).

This Scientology Research Project has been written in the English language, however various persons have taken the initiative to translate various parts of my pages into other languages. I have made these available or direct to them in an ‘International section - Translations’ page.
