St Louis is Rocking Really. Even Fran got in on the act. And "Why I Did It" can be summed up this way - I am led to believe I am doing something good handing over my money. Milestones! Now we know the exact definition of "milestone" - 5 hours working in CF. Have you heard about the huge field meeting? Neither has anyone else.... They don't have a huge field to meet. Unless it's a milestone huge field meeting with 5 people. The elites the planet is depending on Seriously? Then we should all kiss our asses goodbye. Mighty … [Read more...]

Abortion and Scientology
Often one looks at the church of scientology and wonders if anything will ever change. Are they bound to continue to practice Fair Game, hard sell vulturing and disconnection forever because it is dictated by L. Ron Hubbard? The answer is no. Outside pressure, bad PR and legal cases DO impact scientology and change the way they behave. Here is a perfect example: I know this is just a "PR statement" and scientology says a lot of things it doesn't practice. I am certainly not saying that because carefully worded statements like these appear in their public statements … [Read more...]
The Lois Reisdorf Story: Part 1
I published an essay by Lois Reisdorf ("Fleecing the Sheeple") and promised that she would be providing us with more information from her considerable experience as the daughter of scientology aristocracy in South Africa, her subsequent experiences as one of the first Commodore's Messengers working with L. Ron Hubbard on the Apollo and interaction with David Miscavige rising. It is a fascinating story. Here is the first installment. MAKING OF A CHILD SCIENTOLOGIST AND SEA ORG MEMBER I am starting from the beginning of my life and the making of me into a Scientologist and child … [Read more...]
Newest “Ideal Mission” is Hiding any Scientology Connection
This is the announcement of the latest "Ideal Mission" on the scientology.org website. Here is the Mission's website that has NO MENTION of scientology -- it is called the "Orange County Life Improvement Center": Even when you click on "Counseling" this is what you see: Why are they hiding the scientology connection? This does NOT seem very "ideal"?? Surprised they have "Church of Scientology" on the front of the building. Perhaps they put that up temporarily for the ribbon yanking video? Seems that being scientology isn't much of a selling … [Read more...]

Dealing with Critics of Scientology – The L. Ron Hubbard Playbook
If you read this blog, you are likely aware of Leah Remini's upcoming A&E show. I have had the pleasure of working with Leah on this show as a consultant and participant, a cause of great distress for the church. So I thought I might weigh in with some information I feel is pertinent to events now and into the future. As a reader here you are likely also aware of the "church" reaction to the announcement of the show and the first trailer being released - the usual name-calling, smearing and foot stomping that does not RESPOND in any fashion to the abuses being exposed. … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Unfortunately, I have been out of town most of the week and as a result the Thursday Funnies are thin this week. Nevertheless, some tidbits to keep things interesting and everyone amused. For the first time... How strange is that when she just got the Freedom Medal 2 weeks ago? Why would she have ever been in Denver before? But they've got her out fundraising lickety-split. Amazing this woman restored the "pride of her nation". That is quite an astonishing accomplishment (and of course complete bs) She's touring the WUS to make commissions It's in his … [Read more...]
The New Year is Coming Early
The announcement has gone out for the live "New Year's" celebration... On 17 December. And remember -- no children. And absolutely NO photos or videos. We don't want anyone to know about our amazing accomplishments. Or something like that. They are truly concerned that someone will sneak out shots or videos that have not been approved by the church. If this truly is "a detailed briefing on Scientology activities around the world, our monumental achievements in addressing planetary social situations, and an INCREDIBLE briefing about our coming year" - what could possibly be the problem … [Read more...]
UniMed
Someone recently sent this to me. I thought it a curious piece of scientology history for a number of reasons. Starting with the thought there is nothing new in scientology -- including their cliches. You can see it gets off to a roaring start by announcing a "milestone." Today milestones happen a dozen times a year. Back then this was a trendsetting new word to make the lame sound amazing. It then goes on to claim that the Secret of Flag Results is an "entertainment movie". Erm, not really - it was in fact a promotional piece to try and drum up business for Flag. And right up front … [Read more...]
