Thursday Funnies

March 23, 2023

    Of course, Chicago is the main thing happening in the world of scientology right now, so a substantial percentage of the outpouring of promotional items relates to Chicago.

The entire scientology organizational structure is focused on this and they cannot get it done -- what about "Clearing the Planet" if this is such a tough assignment.... I'm not including everything concerning Chicago because it's terribly repetitive, but I have included a sample. We kick things off with our favorite GO SP...   Cause your future as a Clear and OT... At the clubhouse in Normandy Park … [Read More...]

More Hubbard Lunacy

March 22, 2023

Leah reminded me of a piece of Hubbard crazy that I had totally forgotten about.

New Haven “ideal org”

March 21, 2023

Scientology is making headlines in a new article the New Have Independent. They have owned the "new" ideal org for 20 years -- yes TWENTY and have done NOTHING with it. It was one of the early announcement that Miscavige made, touting his "ideal org" program, and even had a "fly-through" CGI video showing what the renovated building would "soon" look like. This and the Battle Creek Michigan "ideal" building are probably the two oldest unrenovated ideal orgs (unless you count Toronto which has been there since before the ideal org kick even started). The locals are not impressed. Here are some excerpts from the story (including two photos of the building): A former Westville department store remains fenced off, empty and … [Read More...]

This is Scientology...

If your spouse is resistant to Scientology or doesn't want you to donate more money, Scientology officials will tell you that you’re PTS (potential trouble source) and that you need to disconnect from them.

There are many, many examples of this.
