Apostate Alex - Scientology activist
@apostatealex
Alexander 'Apostate Alex' Barnes-Ross is an activist calling for an end to Scientology's abusive practices. Blog: Youtube:
Today, I was invited to give a presentation to Parliament on Scientology abuse and left MPs with a booklet outlining survivor stories and the important work the Aftermath Foundation are doing. What a privilege, and a sign change is happening..!
Today, we made history. As ex-Scientologists, we just delivered a petition to 10 Downing Street calling on the UK government to open an inquiry and take action to end the abuses that are prevalent within the Church of Scientology.
Quoted again in today’s @theguardian.com #Scientology www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...
Today’s Daily Mail. What I didn’t expect was for Scientology to outright deny the speedruns are happening in the UK. Hilariously delusional. www.dailymail.com/news/article...
Scientology vs Eurovision isn’t going to end well for the Church….
To top off this monumental week of activism, today I met with Ian Lavery MP, former Chair of the @labouruk.bsky.social along with Zoe to discuss her upbringing in Scientology and the legislative change we are driving with @familysurvivalorg.bsky.social
Day TWO of driving legislative change in Westminster. This week is a big one for cult survivors in the UK!
UNITED we stand! Making change today in Westminster. More coming soon..! @survivinguniversal.bsky.social
FACT CHECK: Scientology recently posted a quote from Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space Odyssey, that appears to endorse L. Ron Hubbard... But the truth is, he considered Dianetics a pseudoscience and thought LRH had gone crazy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtT6...
After 3yrs protesting, today I went back to Saint Hill, confessed and donated my remaining bank balance. Now begins the long road of making amends. It’ll take time (and $$$) but worth it for the spiritual gains I’ll get on the RPF. Hard manual labour, here we come!!! #AprilFools
Change requires both protest and advocacy. Will you join the call to end cultic abuse? thefamilysurvivaltrust.org/petition/ @familysurvivalorg.bsky.social @alexandrastein.bsky.social
In 1971, the UK Government found Scientology's methods present a "serious danger to the health" of those who practice it.. and yet, it continues to operate to this day, free from government scrutiny.
"Scientology training is training for slavery" - that's what the UK High Court ruled in 1984. And yet, its operation remains unchanged and free from government scrutiny.
MAJOR LEAK!!!! Scientology's next 'Golden Age' has been revealed...!!!!
TOMORROW. 9pm French time (8pm UK / 3pm EST / 12pm PST). The moment we've all been waiting for!!! Free to watch online with an account and a VPN. www.france.tv/france-5/dir...
Happy Declare Day! Today marks 12 years since I was declared a 'Potential Trouble Source' by the Church of Scientology. Why? Because I complained Scientology wasn't helping me. At the time, I was heartbroken.. but little did I know it was one of the best things that could've happened.
Saddened to hear of the passing of Jeff Hawkins. I had the pleasure of meeting him in Portland in 2024 and remember talking with him at length about his work on the infamous 1980s Dianetics TV commercial. Very sad news.
Russian hackers have targeted Scientology’s UK servers, and some potentially incriminating documents are slowly coming through the woodworks that could prove to be disastrous for the church. More to follow.
Scientology's 2025 holiday catalogue is here, and yes, they're still selling a £360 walkman so people can listen to LRH lectures, which are only available on CD. This, from the religion that "combines spirituality and technology"...
As the sun sets on Scientology's illegal marquee, the attention now turns to Mid-Sussex District Council: why was this allowed to happen without enforcement action despite a PCN being issued last year, and what will be done to repair the damaged AONB countryside?
Today was certainly a bad day for the Office of Special Affairs, with the disruption of last weekend’s Scientology gathering gaining major press coverage. @dailymail.co.uk @sheknows.com
News alert! 🔔 Today's @theguardian.com features an extensive article on the disruption Scientology's annual IAS event brings to the quiet, countryside town of East Grinstead.
Scientology ads have reappeared at Tottenham Court Road. As an ex-Scientologist, these are deeply offensive, concerning and re-traumatising. When will #TfL realise their ad policy needs updating? Junk food ads are banned, but not abusive cults?! @hinabokharild.bsky.social @london.gov.uk
