Flag, which may no longer be referred to as the "Mecca" of technical perfection and "friendliest place on earth" must, according to the Pope's decree, be referred to as the "Cathedral of Scientology." More fitting for a pope to have a cathedral I guess, and the implications of Mecca are apparently not politically correct in today's world. Though I would suspect Muslims are happier not to be associated with scientology than vice versa. Now matter what it is called -- Mecca, Cathedral, SP Building or Empty Morgue, the fact remains that the "top of the Bridge" of scientology has become a … [Read more...]

“Don’t Freak Out”
The Razzline is doing an effective job of "spreading the flap" -- letting everyone know about the HBO "hatchet job" that is coming... Working in league with the church, they are demonstrating remarkable prowess in making this the most well promoted documentary ever to appear on HBO, perhaps on television. From: Paul Clark [mailto:clack45@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 6:58 AM To: TheRazzLine Email Service Subject: Opinion. Re "Hatchet Jobs" on the church and the most recent movie. Don't freak out and don't be effect every time some self-important jerk does a … [Read more...]
Cardone on Compassion, Wiki on Going Clear
The real question here is how "GC" applies his philosophy to himself. Does he fear the church? Is this why he and his beautiful bride hand over so much cash to keep the church happy? In that case, does he classify himself as the weak that listen to them? This guy is a caricature of everything that is bad about scientologists. Money and status obsessed. Arrogant. No empathy. And absolutely certain he has the answers to everything. Except perhaps how he can be such a dupe... Wikipedia on Going Clear Someone has done an excellent job with the new Wikipedia entry … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies Are Back
Bea Upastat Oh, what fun. Could not think of anything I would rather do on a Sunday. This poor woman needs "hundreds of helpers" -- wonder when someone is going to break it to her that they don't exist? Another example of scientology administrative tech in action. There is no org anywhere, ever in history that has not had backlogged filing. Nobody has EVER contemplated that maybe there is something WRONG with the system... Thinking Big Now this is an "ideal" org experiencing massive expansion. But they are overwhelmed labeling 9000 WTH booklets? Seriously, … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Age Of Evasion
Scientology's "Golden Age of Evasion" (GAE) is unfolding in all its glory. They ran an ad on the Super Bowl they called "Age of Answers," proclaiming "welcome to the age of answers." Like most things scientological, what they state is the polar opposite of reality. First, the ad was placed only in those areas with "Ideal Orgs" -- and not even all of those qualified. Some of those "ideal orgs" are such pitiful failures that nothing could justify throwing away money placing the ad in their market. The ads were placed FOR EXISTING SCIENTOLOGISTS. Fearing the repercussions of exposure of … [Read more...]
Equipped For Eternity
This really requires no commentary. The depravity within the bubble is expanding at an unprecedented rate. Highest ever!!! 47X!!! The concept of being "equipped for eternity" is so bizarre it defies comparison. Though an ad for Cadillac comes to mind: "Drive through the Pearly Gates in comfort and style in the new Cadillac STS." But I must say that a nice looking polo shirt might really come in handy "in eternity," I guess. Nothing is beneath a fundraising pitch. Dear Scientologist, Having the necessary materials to make it all the way up the Bridge is a crucial c … [Read more...]
Disconnection
While a great deal of attention and interest has been focused on Alex Gibney's scientology documentary, let's not forget the rave reviews for Allen Barton's Disconnection. Every person I know who has attended absolutely raves about it. I was very bummed to discover that there was no performance on any of the nights I was in LA last week. I am hoping it is such a success that it gets a much deserved wider release. Here is a sampling of press reaction: Barton is a clever enough writer to keep his audience fiercely attentive… And he’s fortunate in having a director, Joel Polis, … [Read more...]
