The "Ideal Org" in Melbourne (where you can "have it all" -- guitars, Mercedes', kids etc) seems to be having some difficulty locating a few good men. They are advertising on a site called "SeekVolunteer" to try to fill various staff positions. Some of them are quite amusing. But certainly these "volunteers" are not going to be able to "have it all" like the ads promote... You see the Largest Private Relief Force on earth is advertising for volunteers to come help "dispense indiscriminate help"? How strange is that? And offering "free" trips to Japan, Nepal, Taiwan etc. (they … [Read more...]
Clearing the USA
More scientology bubble delusion. Hey guys, just a couple of things for you to consider. All the orgs in the LA area are ideal (and there are more of them than anywhere on earth) -- how are you doing clearing the LA area? If you made a total of 100 Clears in the last year between all the LA area orgs it would be VERY surprising. And certainly nowhere close to 1,000. At that rate, you're not even going to clear 3 blocks around each org this century. You've got your NY, Harlem and Buffalo ideal orgs. How's it going clearing NY State? Florida is "fully ideal" -- even has Ideal … [Read more...]
Tis the Season
Our old friend Terra has some timely thoughts to share... Tis the Season L. Ron Hubbard hating giving anything away for free and insisted on charging a hefty price for most all things connected with Scientology. He preached that people didn’t value goods and services that were given freely. Anything worth having was worth paying for. Paying for something meant it was valuable. Given freely, it was not. This philosophy has hardened the hearts of countless Scientologists, driving many toward the level of “No Sympathy” on his infamous Tone Scale. The typical church member has little compa … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Starting to load up on the Christmas pitches. It's so odd that scientology jumps on the Christmas bandwagon when they do not believe in Jesus Christ. Well, not really. Anything to get “bodies in the shop” for the Regges. Upcoming Ideal Org? One of their tech staff completed the Student Hat at Flag. Yippee... they will be clearing KC in a matter of mere decades now. Well, if there was anyone who was ever at cause... It would be the D/In Charge of telling people "Thank you, keep running" at Flag. It's a tough job watching people run around in circles all day. … [Read more...]
Aftermath: Further Thoughts on PI’s
As usual, scientology "reacted" to last night's episode with smears on Cierra Westerman before the show even aired. Even for scientology -- their approach was bizarre. They did not disclaim the fact that she was hired by them to spy on former scientologists and Anonymous. Instead they called her a "Liar 4 Hire" and showed a picture of her wearing a confederate flag cap. Oh, the irony. It was scientology who HIRED her. She was not paid anything to tell her story on the show. She was THEIR operative. They put this out on the Freedom "Media Ethics Check" twitter account. This is … [Read more...]

Flag OT Committee — Aligning OT Forces
Once again, as if by magic, the Flag OT Committee Minutes appeared. A new status above humanitarian! Nothing more important to scientologists than status. A poem! Oh a poem. And about collecting money! What could more in keeping with the scientology "christmas spirit." There will be "good conversation (LRH references)"? Of course no real scientologist can engage in a conversation without citing an LRH reference. You would not want to be accused of thinking for yourself and being off Source. Interesting that 30 "confirmeds" for one of these events seems to be acceptable. Out … [Read more...]
An Important Survey
Now, this is a deadly serious activity. It is also another of those inadvertently revealing things from inside the bubble that appears out of the ether with more regularity than one would expect. "Sean and Frank" clearly mean business. And this is VERY important. We need to find out what scientologists "think" about a "few things." Well, being a sucker, I took the bait. Here is the first question: Now, what good scientologist would not answer that they have at at least "wanted" to do this at some point? It's like asking "have you ever wanted to have money". It's … [Read more...]
Words of Wisdom: Don’t Think
Scientologists believe that anything written or spoken by L. Ron Hubbard is absolute truth. It requires no further inspection than the source of the words. This alone guarantees truth and accuracy. They also believe that repeating them will cause everyone who reads it to be inspired by the genius of the man and hand over money to gain access to more of his amazing truths. Or better yet, experience his promised states of spiritual godliness. Or even better, enable others to experience it by donating to an ideal org or the IAS. Without a second thought (?) scientologists spew “LRH quotes” as i … [Read more...]
Scientology Logic
It is amazing that scientology always has someone to blame for the bad things that happen to them. It's NEVER their fault. Even though this flies in the face of some of the most fundamental principles of scientology: You are responsible for your own condition The overt-motivator sequence (for anything bad to have happened to you, you must have done something bad to another) Victim is at 0.1 on the Hubbard Tone Scale just slightly above death at 0.0 Here is another example from the genius at STAAD, Mr. Ed Parkin. Trying to catch a news tag about the mass murder of Jews in Pittsburgh, … [Read more...]

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 gene … [Read more...]
The Aftermath After Show
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 Val … [Read more...]
