Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

Want to protest Scientology's tax-exempt status? Simple instructions on how to submit a Form 13909 complaint to the IRS. Recommended by top Scientology critics!

In the comments section, people discuss what to say if you're lucky enough to never have been directly harassed or defrauded by the Co$.

Those comments were interesting to read. More than one person identified him/herself as a "never-in," and I couldn't figure out what exactly that meant, because they clearly had had formal ties to Scientology. I need a dictionary of Scientology jargon.

Someone in the comments posted the trailer to a new web series: Growing up Scientology: From Cradle to Slave.

That's Scientology-Watcher jargon, not Scientology jargon. Like the name implies, a "Never-in" is supposed to be someone who has never been a member of the CoS. If it seems like they have a connection to the CoS, maybe it's through friends or relatives, or maybe they're just a really active protester/critic.

I finally saw this today. I really don't have words. Like most of you, I'd heard the stories, but seeing it all put together was insane. I truly hope the IRS revokes their tax status.

Is it possible to have a tax exempt status revoked?

Piggy-backing off of this, would it mean they would owe back taxes (if revoked)?
