The old saying goes, "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." A modern translation, "Never pick a fight with anyone who has a large social media profile." And with that in mind, we see this statement from David Miscavige this morning: Good Morning America reported Tuesday that they had received comment from the Church of Scientology that said, "We know this may come as a surprise to someone as self-absorbed as Ms. Remini, but we could care less if she wins or loses on Dancing With the Stars." One thing you can ALWAYS tell from Miscavige's media and court statements - … [Read more...]

Scientology Contraction
Thank you all for your reports from around the world. These reports provide a snapshot of the Church of Scientology in its current state. This is only a sampling, and I hope that others will continue to send in reports from their areas so this can be added to with more detailed information and it can become a useful source of true information for Scientologists and the media. One of the reasons for doing this is that every time Pinocchio Pouw "speaks", or a church lawyer stands up in court, their Miscavige penned statements drone on about the fabulous international expansion of Scientology … [Read more...]

More On The Vulture Culture Revisited
My apologies for being somewhat out of touch on the blog over the last little while. I have been attending to some business. I was looking for something tonight for another reason and came across this post I did on Marty Rathbun's blog in November 2011. I thought it very relevant to much that has been said of late and so I am republishing it here for any who may not have read it back at that time. The use of the term "POB" in here was understood by the blog readers at the time to be "Pope on a Box" a reference to the fact that Miscavige uses an "apple box" to make him appear taller (an apple … [Read more...]
DK Ideal Org “Indispensable”
This begging from Denmark is a little bit old now due to intervening events. Apart from the nuttiness of ABLE and WISE EU both doing Ideal Pimping (and it further demonstrates that if Miscavige decides that something is important, every single person in the RCS will follow along like he is the Pied Piper of Hamlin no matter where they are being led) there is the reappearance of Carol Nolan. The former D/CO Internal OSA International was last seen rah-rahing the worn out Torontonians promised them that their Ideal Org was right around the corner. What happened to Toronto? Of course, they h … [Read more...]
Thankyou
I have been quite overwhelmed by the messages, calls, emails, pms and comments from so many people in response to the posting about the death of my mother. There is not enough time in the day to respond to each individually, and if I have not responded to you personally, it is not because I didnt appreciate your kind words, support and friendship. I just haven't been able to get to everything today. This episode has reminded me just how many friends I have. And despite how it may sometimes seem, the good in this world far outweighs the bad. There are so many decent, caring, loving people -- … [Read more...]
Disconnection And My Mother
My mother, Barbara, disconnected from me after I spoke out about Miscavige's abuses to the Tampa Bay Times. Prior to that, even though I had escaped from the Sea Org (not as the church now likes to claim "that I was removed from all positions of authority") she maintained a mother/son relationship with me, corresponding back and forth about things that had nothing to do with Scientology. Her dogs, garden, grandchildren and great grandchildren, the weather, anything but Scientology. She told me I was her firstborn and that would always trump anything else, no matter what … [Read more...]
Dance With Leah
Tonight is the first show of the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Of course, the biggest news of the new season is the inclusion of Leah Remini after her headline making break with the church over disconnection, the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige, and the lies that were told to her. The most recent headlines have centered around her comment on the Ellen show that she "lost a lot of friends" as a result of her brave public departure. It's time to show her how many friends she has made. You can vote after the show airs tonight. It broadcasts on ABC (in the US) at 8pm. Watch the show … [Read more...]
REAL Expansion STATS
One of our Special Correspondents sent in this very well constructed chart. In keeping with recent posts, it highlights once again, USING THE CHURCH'S OWN BOOKS AND WEBSITE, how there is NO EXPANSION anywhere other that supposed Missions in Asia and Russia and former Soviet satellites. There is no real expansion since the mid 90's. Funny, the granting of tax exemption to the churches at the end of 1993 was supposed to have marked the beginning of the golden age of Scientology. At least that is what Miscavige said. He announced that because HE had personally brought the IRS to its … [Read more...]
