This concept of St Hill size is often talked about. Here we have the CO of the Flag Ship Service Org, the most expensive failed org in the history of scientology, telling people that she is sending someone to explain to them how they are going to go Saint Hill size RIGHT NOW. Hahaha. In scientology, TALK substitutes for reality. They talk themselves into believing their own hype. That "planetary clearing is a reality" or "we are expanding like never before" or "the Golden Age of tech is flooding people up the Bridge" etc There are numerous variations of the self-affirmation technique … [Read more...]
A Slavery Free World
Do you think Marisol Nichols has a clue about human trafficking? I don't. If she did she would be briefing them on the changes the IAS has enforced at Gold to reduce human trafficking there. After all, why not start at home? You don't need to go to Africa to find real human trafficking. To help Marisol identify human trafficking victims, here are some indicia that might be used: Holding someone's passport - especially when they come from a foreign country Restricting access to the outside world through physical means and by mental coercion Living and working in the same location -- e … [Read more...]
Clearwater on the Brink
A couple of recent articles in the Tampa Bay Times: Scientology leader to visit Clearwater officials a week before vote on property purchase and Dynamic of City Council meetings with Scientology leader a rarity, and an analysis of the property situation in Clearwater yesterday on Tony Ortega's blog make for interesting reading. I cannot help but draw parallels between what is happening with downtown Clearwater and David Miscavige's history as the supreme leader of scientology. Miscavige has long prided himself in his ability to "get things done" that others believed impossible. He began … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Answer to Perfect Recall: The File Clerk
Another in the ongoing series of essays from Terra Cognita Scientology’s Answer to Perfect Recall: The File Clerk Is it just mine or is your file clerk on sabbatical, too? Apparently, my guy’s been on vacation from just after I first walked through the front doors of that mission years ago. The file clerk I’m talking about is the one LRH described in DMSMH, who’s able to go back and grab any of the trillions of incidents on one’s time track—the consecutive record of mental image pictures, from “when it all began” to present time. All that’s necessary is to “direct” this little gu … [Read more...]
Embarrassed Much?
AS IT APPEARS SCIENTOLOGY DID NOT PUT UP THIS POSTER -- BUT IT IS BEING TROLLED BY IT (AS WAS I) I AM REPLACING THIS POST. BUT IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED.... This has to be one of the more remarkable things in the history of scientology "dissemination" efforts. And there have been plenty of really bizarre episodes. New York "ideal" org is trying to attract people to "The COS" (they do NOT use the word scientology) with Hamilton tickets for $20. Like anyone who is not on staff in scientology would ever know what "The COS" is... Scientology claims to have the answers to all of … [Read more...]

Well, that looks inviting... Bubbles Champagne I guess Africa is going to achieve their goals now. And all for R100 per person! Epic. This one is a bit more expensive Chippendales have come to Celebrity Centre finally? Bye, bye Santa Barbara For only $25 you get to see the empty Ventura/Oxnard building. Bet Santa Barbara is happy scientology is leaving. But it could be 10 or 15 years before their new building is ready based on other cities. WE DID IT! ...you could call it a victory, I guess. Don't want to tell you what it is, because … [Read more...]
Miscavige Broken Promises
The string of promises concerning "planetary clearing" and ideal orgs is a long one. But perhaps nowhere illustrates the miserable failure of this "planet clearing strategy" than South Africa. The "Kyalami Castle" referred to above is the empty building that was purchased in 2008 to be the home of the "new AO Africa." (Similar buildings were purchased in Canada and Mexico to "open" AO Canada and AO Mexico - they too remain abandoned shells). Eight years later, this building remains unused. Except to hold pep rallies (read fundraisers) every now and then. That this particular empty … [Read more...]
How To Handle “Negative News”
Here is an email circulating in the scientology bubble. From: Vern Jones Sent: Friday, March 03 Subject: Handling Entheta in the News I recently have been experimenting with handling the amount of entheta news displayed on the CNN home page I use. As most know, home pages usually carry an array of news stories in various categories. I suspect that they keep stats (numbers of hits or clicks) and then increase the selection to similar ones to those that receive the greatest number of hits or clicks. This is an online marketing method that I am convinced is also used for the … [Read more...]
Reefer Madness
Koko's gone kookoo over the "legalization of marijuana" in California and is on some sort of crusade to get her little corner (Glendale) to somehow secede from the rest of the state when it comes to the notorious loco weed. Don't they know what Ron wrote about marijuana in Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health? He railed against alcohol being legal, while marijuana is less physically harmful and "better in the action of keeping a neurotic producing." Why aren't these women going after legalized alcohol? Why are they so upset about marijuana? They don't believe Ron? Here is … [Read more...]
Scientology, Where You’re Always Worse Off than Everybody Else
Another in the continuing series of provocative essays from Terra Cognita Scientology, Where You’re Always Worse Off than Everybody Else Is it just me, or did other people feel slightly unworthy inside the bubble? On one hand, all Scientologists are taught they’re more able than anyone else. On the other, there were always members who were: Richer More successful More creative Friendlier—without being “theety-weedy” Who kept stats and applied the Conditions Who used a personal Admin Scale Who went exterior at will Who always gave the best wins at events Who didn’t drink wine (last ti … [Read more...]
Seattle Ideal Org Open 12 Hours A Week
Things are progressing pretty slowly on "the wholesale Clearing of our area" when they are only working at it 12 hours a week. As with many other "ideal" orgs -- they have been moved away from the city center. They are not the worst, they are in the fairly near suburbs. Some have ended up in industrial parks and alongside freeways where there is no body traffic. The volume of people walking past orgs has traditionally been a measure of their likelihood of success. "Body routing" line has always been one of the few methods of attracting new people into scientology. You see the staff from … [Read more...]

It's the Real Deal this time... Not going to cancel this one. Absolutely going to happen this time. Just $100 to take a tour of the "new building." Flag LOVES Tampa Because Tampa sends them MONEY. "Remote Reg GI" is money they collect for Flag. Nothing crass about this. H-E-L-P!!! As with EVERY "ideal" org, they can raise $25 million but they cannot get their damNed backlogged filing done! It's monumental Of course... Bubble is back from her enormously successful reg tour to S. Africa where she spoke to crowds of 10 or more people. It … [Read more...]
S.T.A.A.D
Scientology launched a new website on 26 February 2017. Obviously it is a reaction to the tsunami of negative press they have been getting. Scientology has become the butt of so many jokes there is no way of keeping track of them all. But it was perfect timing for this to appear the same day as Jimmy Kimmel's crack in his opening monologue at the Academy Awards. Frankly, the new site is just a gussied up version of Freedom Mag. Much the same content and similar lofty sounding objectives rehashed to somehow look different: The truth is that it is a thinly veiled … [Read more...]
