I am catching up. Just a couple of days behind now. This is the report from last Friday's graduation. Good news everyone -- HE is still here and still doing graduation, much to the excitement of the locals. Wonder if he will stay in town now that his twin has shamed him so? Here are the notes: - there were 247 Student Hat completions this week, which means 803 in the last month [remarkable they constantly tout REDOs -- everyone redoing Student Hat now, because this one is shorter? That makes sense... He even touts REDO's of Ideal Orgs] - the average time to complete the Pro T … [Read more...]

The Sad Story of David Miscavige’s Twin Sister
Joe Childs of the Tampa Bay Times filed a story about Denise Miscavige this evening. You can read it here. Perhaps more than anything, it exposes the hypocrisy of "true believers" who have absolute certainty that they KNOW the answers to all problems in society. The quotes from sworn testimony cited in the article highlight just how unreal this mentality is. I hope this is enough to wake Denise up. And I hope she comes through this OK -- she was the first auditor I ever had in the Sea Org at St Hill in 1973. Her brother (Dave, not Ronnie) is going to rain scorn and hatred upon her for " … [Read more...]
Voldemort Update
This report is a week out of date as I am still trying to catch up with all the emails and tips sent to me during the past week.... While a large concentration of SPs was within a mile, Voldemort snuck into the Auditorium to deliver his latest "come-on" for the miraculous divine revelation that is to be "GAT II". He was so worried about all the SP's around possibly enturbulating his Super Powerful OTness that he hired off duty police to guard the buildings for days before, through and for days after the wedding. Along with the CWPD Officers were additional PI's and Flag Security who were a … [Read more...]
OT IX & X Promises, Promises….
A blast from the past. This is taken from a Source Mag sent out in late 1984. It serves to highlight the fact that the carrot is always dangled out ahead, and if the carrot gets too old and moldy, it is replaced by a new one. The goalposts are forever shifting. New OT VIII and IX being released on the "new ship" soon became just "OT VIII." Then it was OT IX and X packaged together as the new carrot and the requirement has changed over time. First it was "enough OT VIII completions", then it was 10,000 on Solo NOTs, then it was "All orgs SH Size" and now it's "All orgs Ideal." None … [Read more...]
Some WISE PR Advice
Perhaps David Miscavige should listen to the advice his underlings are trying to sell. "If there are negative opinions, determine whether they are valid. "If they are valid, get working on correcting those problems. "Make sure your public knows that the problems are being or have been addressed." The arrogance of Miscavige and the church he has built in his image is such that he cannot admit to ANYTHING WRONG EVER. It is almost the hallmark of the Corporate Scientologist -- if anyone points out something wrong THEY are targeted. The mantras are many: "They have overts," "It's just natter," … [Read more...]
David Miscavige In His Own Words
Dirk Niblick just put up an interesting comment quoting from "The Wake Up Call." For those who may not have heard of this -- though if you spent any time in the church and attended even a single event, it is hard to imagine you have NOT -- it is one of Miscavige's favorite "accomplishments." Written after 9/11 it was intended to be the "Come to Jesus" message for the faithful to get busy. It was mostly written by Dan Sherman. Miscavige wanted to put out the issue, but did not plan on writing it himself. So, he called Marc Yager, Greg Hughes, Guillaume Lesevre, Lyman Spurlock, Ray Mithoff, … [Read more...]
Scientology Disconnection – The Numbers
Thanks to all for your kind and encouraging wishes following our wedding. They were very well received by us and greatly appreciated. We now return to regularly scheduled programming.... Recently I have posted a number of articles on the subject of Scientology Disconnection-see here for the overview: Scientology Disconnection Policy Exposed. One of the most interesting was the result of a survey to establish exactly WHO the Church of Scientology is so eager to declare. It showed the bulk of those declared were long time, well trained and experienced Scientologists. (Results here) Another … [Read more...]
