Safepointing in Mauritius

December 31, 2022 By Mike Rinder 7 Comments

mm     I hope someone gets the word to the Yeshua Fellowship Organization that they are being taken advantage of. You can bet they have no clue that these policemen carrying a banner in a march is "all in the name of clearing our continent!" They have NO IDEA scientology is involved in this at all. Yet the "Advanced Org" in Johannesburg is claiming this as a "major accomplishment." If Miscavige was holding international events, this would be being touted as "full acceptance of LRH tech by law enforcement of an entire African nation" or some such … [Read more...]

Scientology International Events Are No More

December 28, 2022 By Mike Rinder 41 Comments

David Miscavige used to conduct 5 or 6 "International Events" each year where all scientologists were "briefed" on the version of scientology in the world he wanted everyone to hear. These events were required attendance for scientologists, and staff spent weeks calling public repeatedly to "confirm" their attendance. Traditionally, the annual "New Year's" event was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve and was then sent out to all orgs to be played as their "New Year's Celebration." These events were vitally important to keep … [Read more...]

Flag Christmas J&D Sing Along

December 27, 2022 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

  Christi Gordon sent me copies of these pages which were created at Flag, Christmas 1976. They are the lyrics for a musical performance that was part of the annual Bosun's party (I wrote about the infamous first Bosun's Party at Flag in 1975 in my book). The lyrics would be considered horrendous "J&D" now -- Hubbard had not yet invented that term which was announced in his Bulletin Jokers and Degraders in February 1977 (maybe he got a report about this performance?). Some of the notable lines: No need to panic, it's just another bomb threat The citizens of Clearwater … [Read more...]

Give Us Your Money for Christmas

December 24, 2022 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

Scientology, in the "spirit of Christmas" wants you to give them money for a building in Puerto Rico. "This is our chance to give an incredible Christmas gift..." So typically scientology that "our gift" is for you to hand over your money... Two public people are "hosting" what they call the "Ideal Miracle Event" in Flag's restaurant. The Old Man is spinning in his grave thinking about "FCCI's" doing events in Sea Org buildings.   The best bit about this is LRH quote. Such incredible arrogance: "We are the protectors of the real tradition of Christmas..." -- that "real … [Read more...]

  Join us lighting the Menorah Why?   It's a holiday party And the part they are not saying: they will be pressuring you to join staff and if you won't do that, hand over cash. It's the scientology way -- "Celebrate Christmas with us, it's a time of giving. You give to us."   This is a lot of stuff... How come ONLY the orgs that are "next to go ideal" seem to put on these endless events? And why does graduation always feature something other than graduates (spoiler: they don't have any)... The "Christmas Open House" is going to feature "LRH stories" … [Read more...]

The End of The World is Nigh

December 21, 2022 By Mike Rinder 11 Comments

This is one of those Hubbard statements that is used by registrars and fundraisers to convince people they must hand over their money now.  And of course, as you can see, to persuade people to join staff. This is something a lot of cults do -- predict the end of the world to impress upon their followers the urgency of their mission. That Hubbard said this in 1965, announcing just 5 years left to get the job done, is ignored by the sheeple. If Hubbard said it, it must be true.  The fact that he was proven SO wrong in his prediction is immaterial. His words are immortal, immutable and … [Read more...]
