  • The Pseudoscience of Christian Science: a blog on Tumblr that is the “musings from a science advocate and ex-Christian Scientist, on the dangers, conceits, and conflicts within the religion” (from the blog). Infrequently maintained.

Other Forums

  • Fellowship of Former Christian Scientists A ministry to former and current Christian Scientists and those who walk alongside them. We connect people with a background in Christian Science and those who walk alongside them with Christ-centered resources, care and community.
  • Christian Way: a group of former Christian Scientists who are now Evangelical Christians. They also have an extensive and active discussion forum, to which anyone can contribute, and do so anonymously. The common thread being that most were once Christian Scientists, grew up in it, or at least had some contact with it. Interestingly, some practicing Christian Scientists actively and bravely participate in this forum. It is based in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
