Thursday Funnies
Don't worry, you will... Many times Seriously? Next. Ideal Survivor -- where the last person to resist the regges wins. I bet this will be a lot of fun for the family. Get the kids up there pledging their piggy banks. How about an ideal uniform Or at least a clean one. The Chan Man is back Along with Raffy the Rascal. A pair of grifters of the first order. Yeah, scientology will do that to you... Delude you into thinking you have the solutions. Funny how nothing was actually resolved. Just that she thinks they're "not … [Read more...]
The Scientology Mindset
I have written some posts about the delusion that pervades the scientology bubble. Anything possibly negative about scientology is to be avoided at all costs -- of course it is not true anyway as scientology is the "only game where everyone wins" according to L. Ron Hubbard. And that means if you don't "win" it is on you. Because scientology has never done ANYTHING wrong. This Facebook posting typifies the bubble-think perfectly: The "SP's" are of course anyone who does not follow in lockstep with scientology dicta. Primary on this list are those who speak about the abuses they … [Read more...]
The Illiterates of Scientology
Scientology routinely claims it has the ONLY workable method of teaching someone how to learn. They proclaim they bring literacy to millions around the world -- here are just a few excerpts from the scientology.org website. These are not even the hype statements they dish up at "international events": But their own promotional pieces put these claims to the sword. Their promotional pieces routinely contain so many grammatical errors, spelling errors and typos that it boggles the mind. Especially in this age of spellcheckers on every computer. One might be able to brush … [Read more...]
Correlation Without Causation
Scientology loves to claim they are responsible for "Clearing the planet" and “bettering society” -- proclaiming they are "slaying the four modern horsemen of the apocalypse, drugs, illiteracy, criminality and immorality." They routinely take credit for all sorts of things: reducing crime in Colombia by 50%, increasing literacy rates in third world countries, eradicating gang violence etc. They find a statistic and then claim “we handed out 74,000 copies of WTH and the number of divorces in Denmark is lowest in a decade. ” It is clear (in their minds) that this is incontrovertible evidence th … [Read more...]
Dublin “ideal” Org is “Clearing Europe”
These guys are thinking big... At least 10X expansion across their zone (whatever that may be). Not content with merely Clearing Ireland, they are taking on the whole Continent. Why someone from Sweden would be in Dublin is anyone's guess -- there IS an ideal org in Malmo. And in Copenhagen. Amsterdam. Brussels. A couple in England. And a few in Germany, Switzerland and Italy that are all closer. Unless they just can't find anyone in Ireland who wants to go Clear so that have to reach outside their island and try to persuade a bunch of foreigners to make the trip? But what is most … [Read more...]
Stolen Valor: Ron the War Hero
Tonight, at the Fort Harrison Hotel, scientology will once again try to cash in on the claimed "fact" that their founder was an accomplished War Hero and recipient of a "Purple Heart With Palm." Anyone unfortunate enough to be hoodwinked into this event with the offer of a free dinner, valet parking and some insincere flattery (insincere because scientologists believe all "wogs" are unfortunately ignorant) should take a few minutes to find out just what it is they are supporting. If anyone DOES show up, you can bet there will be photos taken and their names and likenesses will be used … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Assume the position... Arms crossed, three quarter profile is proven to get more recruits than anything else they have ever done. This is what they call "effective dissemination"... No wonder they are dead. BBQ is big... But hate to break it to you -- as a staff member you won't have money or time to enjoy it. Oh come on guys... Are you serious with this one? 61X X Humanitarian What the hell does that mean? Still hoping... This is like the 10,000 Solo NOTs target. A dream. And even if they achieved … [Read more...]
Making an “Ideal” World
The “ideal” nuttiness is seeping into every corner of scientology. After 16 years of the "ideal org" program being pushed as the "solution" (and the carrot for release of "OT IX and X"), "ideal" has become a scientology catchphrase. Of cpurse, it is a successful means of getting cash, so why not? There are now ideal orgs, ideal AOs, ideal Narconons, ideal Missions, ideal accommodations and even ideal families... Still, idealiness notwithstanding, it seems life in the scientology bubble is not all unicorns and butterflies. The ideal org program has ground to a slow and painful state of bedr … [Read more...]
Scientology Fair Game
I happened upon the STAAD League "dead agent" propaganda about scientology Fair Game. I thought it might be useful to address it with the real truth. Let's start with what Hubbard ACTUALLY said about Fair Game. Here is the oft quoted 1967 policy letter that lays out the "may be deprived of property or injured by any means... May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed." But there were earlier references to Fair Game in policies of 1965: And this which declares the "homes, property, places and abodes" are "beyond the protection of Scientology Ethics." And this issue … [Read more...]
“Scientology wouldn’t be in the news so much…”
Here is some classic scientology “bubble-think”. It supposes that bad press equals interest in participating in scientology -- rather than the newsworthiness of exposed abuses. With this logic the Catholic Church should be excited about the “interest” shown in Catholicism with the coverage of the ongoing pedophile priest scandal. Not to be too logical about this -- if this was in fact true, how come Battle Creek is unable to renovate the building they have had for more than a decade? And have virtually no staff or public? Hubbard formalized this delusional mindset way back in 1958 in … [Read more...]
Keeping Abuses Secret Under the Guise of Religion
John Redwood posted this on Facebook. I think it deserves WIDE reading. It is the same position scientology takes, and they too appealed the decision to turn over the incriminating preclear folders of Laura Dieckman in her civil case to the USSC. Thankfully, they did NOT win. It is my sincere hope that Watchtower is unsuccessful in this effort to overturn a decision against them. John said the following (I added a link to the petition): Jehovah's Witnesses are appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag. … [Read more...]
Police Report: CC Int False Imprisonment
A recent escapee from Celebrity Center in Los Angeles filed the report below with the Hollywood PD. They will likely do nothing about it, but the cumulative effect of filing police reports cannot be underestimated. What happened to this woman is SO normal inside the scientology bubble. Nobody there gives it a second thought. This is "normal" and "appropriate" behavior when you are convinced that what you are doing is saving every man, woman and child on this earth and in the universe. What are the human rights of a single individual in the face of saving the universe? It's why … [Read more...]
