Guest post: Five extreme examples of hypocrisy in Scientology's 'Freedom' magazine May 14, 2015, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

Last week went so well, we have another list put together by Underground Bunker contributor Jeffrey Augustine. This time, he takes a look at Scientology's propaganda magazine, Freedom, which has gone under a transformation lately.

For several years, Freedom only came out every year or so, whenever Scientology leader David Miscavige had another target that needed tarring, whether it was the St. Petersburg Times, Anderson Cooper, or the New Yorker.

Comical in their vitriol, these issues backfired badly on the church — we've talked to many former members who said reading one of these clownish publications was so startling and the magazine was so obviously filled with falsehoods, it made them begin to look for the first time for the real story outside Scientology and helped them begin their journeys back into the modern world.
