Thursday Funnies

November 29, 2018 By Mike Rinder 81 Comments

  Bring the kids So we can reg their parents. You may have heard of a “honey trap” — this is a "candy trap."   A Treasure Hunt Guess whose treasure is being hunted? And filmed by SMP!   I envision... The problem is you think a building is what will make this happen? Because that’s what they told you... perhaps you should check out Jobur or Pretoria and see just how “with a bang” things are going there.   This is convincing... Not really. “People” actually won’t be impressed. Though the outfits are pretty arresting.   Shocking … [Read more...]

The Aftermath After Show

November 27, 2018 By Mike Rinder 163 Comments

As always, interested to hear your views on season 3’s first episode. Of course, before it even aired, scientology put out their attempted "Dead Agent" smear of Valerie. This consists entirely of claims made by her deadbeat brother and his wife  -- neither of whom know ANYTHING about Valerie's experiences in the Sea Org and with David Miscavige, and yet assert that Valerie is "selling her soul by telling lies for the attempted creation of ‘reality TV’” ... Jeffrey Haney cries about how Valerie "cut us off" to "destroy their family". This is the guy who never had a thought about … [Read more...]

Learn from the Master

November 26, 2018 By Mike Rinder 68 Comments

You can pay money to hear from the guy who had 3 wives (though claimed he had no second wife), married while still married to another woman, beat his wife and disowned his own child and in the end abandoned them all. LRH is held out in scientology as the paragon of virtuous family man... The bubble=dwellers just accept this as "fact." In all things LRH was beyond reproach. So much so that his words on any subject are considered to be unalterable and life-saving truth. Even on subjects where he was clearly NOT a model for anyone to pattern their lives on. Forget Margaret (Polly) and … [Read more...]

Do You Swear to Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth?

November 25, 2018 By Mike Rinder 55 Comments

Terra is back once again... Do You Swear to Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth? Scientology has a reputation of attacking anyone they perceive as a threat. They bully. They coerce. They intimidate. Hire private investigators. Apply pressure. And last but not least, they threaten legal action via a cadre of soulless lawyers. That said, when is the last time the church actually sued someone? And won? Not this century, anyway. Appearing in Court? Oh, No! The problem for Scientology with regards to lawsuits is the potential of having to appear in court and back up … [Read more...]

The Irony of Ideal Boston

November 24, 2018 By Mike Rinder 55 Comments

Boston was the org spoken of in such glowing terms by L. Ron Hubbard in LRH ED 339R-1: They are proof -- way back in the early 70's (and written about by Hubbard in 1982) that a new building has nothing to do with expansion. Since Hubbard wrote thus in 1982 there have been exactly zero orgs in the world that have achieved St Hill size and remained so. Yet Hubbard claimed Boston had done it in the 70's. And they did it in the OLD building they had on Beacon St.  They SOLD that because that one was not good enough (seemed like it was fine for Hubbard?). That was about 10 YEARS ago … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

November 22, 2018 By Mike Rinder 67 Comments

  Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it today. We all have much to be thankful for.  Including the fact that we don’t have to treat anything we read here seriously. Remember most of  those still inside the bubble today with compassion and understanding.  Many of us have been in their shoes - pretending to be happy and thankful for the only thing that is truly important in this universe (LRH and the tech). Yikes. Hey why not move back there then? If LRH says this is where the next great civilization will spring from there, how come you're not there? You are giving money … [Read more...]

The Irony Is Strong

November 21, 2018 By Mike Rinder 114 Comments

  This ad aired multiple during Sunday night's episode of The Aftermath: The woman "Sadie" IS a real person. She was at Golden Era productions in the Sea Org with her husband Axel (her husband in the ad). Sadie is infamous for an incident at the base where David Miscavige commanded her to run over Marc Yager (then CO CMO International) in her car (she had a VW Beetle). As any good Sea Org member at the Int Base would, Sadie jumped in her bug and started trying to run down Marc Yager. He literally ran for his life, and jumped off the loading dock that is part of the … [Read more...]

Important Quotes

If the org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
"We own a tremendous amount of property. We own a tremendous amount of material and so forth, and it keeps growing. But that’s not important. When buildings get important to us, for God sakes, some of you born revolutionists will you please blow up central headquarters". L Ron Hubbard Lecture 31 Dec 1960
"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity
"It is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe." Thomas Paine
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
“Communication is the universal solvent” - L Ron Hubbard
“When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.” Thomas Paine
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth." William Faulkner
"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis." Dalai Lama
