Very sad news from my old and dear friend Janis Grady: I’m deeply saddened to say, at 5:22 am this morning, December 30, 2021 my husband of 41 years, Paul Grady let go of his body and moved on. He put up a good fight, he even managed to come out of being on a ventilator in an 11 day, medically-induced coma. His lungs, however, were heavily scarred from many years of smoking. He lived another 8 days and got to have final moments with family and several close friends. I got to be with him when he passed and our good friend, Scott Campbell, was there as well. We sat at his bedside to say … [Read more...]

Tourist Promo Interesting how all promo for Dublin org features the "beauty of Ireland" as the first selling point. I thought this org was put there to "Clear Ireland," the Irish don't need to go to a scientology org to experience the beauty of Ireland. They live there. Correct Title: Scientology Winter Festival The "community" (wogs) are just there for show. They are not much use to the regges. Kiddie Corner Merry R6 Implant Day You would think they could at least not be totally insulting and say "Happy … [Read more...]
VM’s Swing Into Action
Once again, the "largest private relief force on earth" has swung into fundraising and photo op action following the deadly tornados in Kentucky. As you can see, the ideal orgs in Nashville, Cincinnati (actually located across the river in Kentucky) and Columbus poured thousands, hundreds, tens of a few people into the relief effort a week or so after the event. They never said they are fast, just the biggest. Actually, the ideal orgs in the region, despite having yellow vans, are not the ones coordinating the effort, it's being handled out of Los … [Read more...]
Natalie Webster
Natalie Webster is an old friend who originally contacted me when her daughter, Shelby, was in training at Flag. She wrote the below as a response to Cindy and I asked her if I could post it as I felt it deserved more attention than it would get if it was a comment responding to someone on an earlier post. I asked her to send me some photos too! She overkilled these shots of happy family! She also wanted to make the following point, in addition to the comment response which follows: One point I really want to make is that there is life after the Sea Org and Scientology. A good life. I … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Graduation Cocktail Hour? They've taken it a step beyond food in Australia... You can do the Purif here! Only at Flag, Freewinds, possibly the SO Orgs and Narconon. No Class V orgs or Missions. Because we said so. Good News! "In celebration of the New Year, the Christmas season production bonuses and prizes are hereby extended for three weeks: December 23 and December 30, 2021 and December 6, 2022. International Director of Finance" I guess they didn't make enough cash to pay any bonuses, so "Christmas bonuses" are going to become … [Read more...]
Orgable?
Something I had not seen before was sent to me recently. It is a website called Orgable. Apparently you can now get "Administrative Software for the 21st Century" if you subscribe for a monthly fee. Never mind it is actually provenly unworkable, bureaucratic administrative technology from the 1950's. According to their website, this administrative software includes "everything you need to expand" -- including an org board. What software provides an Org Board is a little unclear, but I hate to tell their potential subscribers that if they want this "21st Century technology" … [Read more...]
Episode 70: Claire Headley Knowledge Reports
We continue our discussion from last week about Committees of Evidence with Claire Headley, now covering the snitch culture of scientology and the subject of Knowledge Reports. It is one of the most important control mechanisms within the scientology world. As we normally do, I have included documents that give the whole story of things we mention. Scientology Org Board outline, the full "7 Division Org Board": The "Hubbard Communications Office" Div 1 org board. Department 3 "Inspection and Reports" is where the Ethics Officer is located The Anderson … [Read more...]
