Thursday Funnies
Monday Service? It takes all the dynamics to make a freedom... Huh? This is THE BEST... Central Files Team.... All 6 of them in this, the largest ideal org on earth. Consummate Con Man The REAL tech he learned to "help others" was Big League Sales.... This is Expansion? A rehash of Atlanta. A tiny Auditor's Day event in Pasadena for the entire LA area and a replay of the 1993 IAS event? Confirm Now. Who would want to miss this. Miscavige is feeling the hurt This tired old event gets rolled out whenever he … [Read more...]
Scientology Churches: Open and Welcoming. Not
I was recently in New York, literally across the street from St Patrick's Cathedral. With 15 minutes to spare, I stopped in for a quick visit in the middle of a weekday afternoon. Literally hundreds of people were sitting on the front steps enjoying the sunshine and doing who knows what. Inside there were probably 500 - 1000 people either sitting in the pews or walking around looking at the architecture, taking photos and shooting videos. They did a cursory purse inspection for women with bags (or men with backpacks) at the door, otherwise access was unfettered and uninhibited. Nobody … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Fail: London
Here is further proof of the total fail that is the ideal org program. This is one of the very first ideal orgs. 2004 if I recall correctly. The premises were procured at enormous expense and the old London Org, which had been at Tottenham Court Rd forever, was converted into a "Test Center" and Div 6 feeder for the main org that was moved to a deserted street right near St Paul's cathedral. The "CC London" was closed down and combined with this magnificent new org that was the answer to clearing not just London, but entirety of England, in fact the whole of the United Kingdom. And … [Read more...]
IAS Event Call In Patter
Patter is a term used in scientology to describe a script that is given to people to say out loud. According to Wikipedia: Patter is a prepared and practiced speech that is designed to produce a desired response from its audience. Whoever wrote this has a misunderstood word. He or she thinks the word is "pattern" because it seems to make more sense to them. It might be a "pattern" if it was an "outline" of things to say. In fact, this is a verbatim script. Learn how to parrot this, call enough people who tell you "Yes, put me down again as a confirmed for the damn event and tell … [Read more...]

Dealing With SP’s
Every scientologist has done the PTS/SP Course. Most good scientologists have done the course more than once and have been sent to retread it when they are deemed to have become "PTS" again -- in itself pretty good evidence the course does not work. But then again, this is one of the most often used explanations as to why the "tech didn't work" -- "you cannot make/lose your gains if you are PTS." And even though the graduate of this course has "mastered the tech" of how to handle suppression and SPs, they do not then get to choose who they may or may not be connected to -- they are told by … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Someone commented last week that this would be the 100th edition of Thursday Funnies.... And I think that is correct based on the numbering of the link. \ Quite a centenary. And we have a lot of funnies for today. It must be noted that these weekly funnies would not be possible without the support of many who forward the information to me each week. Tampa Has No Speakers How bizarre - this org is nearly "double SH Size" and they don't have anyone to deliver a Tone Scale lecture other than importing a mercenary blood sucker. More strange quotes... Many scientologists … [Read more...]
Freewinds Desperation
Things are desperate aboard the Moneywinds it seems. All those spectacular seminars by the world's most voracious "FSM's" do not appear to be doing the trick. Nor the "how to make money" seminars from CO FSSO and her crew who cannot generate enough income to buy the fuel to sail out of port. So, they are trying to get people there with give-aways. It tells you everything you need to know about the state of the "Top of the Bridge" of scientology that they have to try and entice people to get others to arrive -- with a SPECIAL AWARD for OT VIIIs that can be conned into going to the ship to … [Read more...]
More Ideal Fail: Phoenix…
This is the state of the Phoenix "ideal" org. The have put out a "Big announcement." Might even be epic. Milestone. Unprecedented. TWO people "graduated" something this week. Likely they finished reading a book. Yes, TWO. And it is such big news they sent out a promotional piece for it. Now THAT'S massive international, straight up and vertical, 63X expansion. ...and Twin Cities Just in case anyone still had doubts that perhaps Phoenix was just out of step with the rest of the straight up and vertical ideal org expansion, there is this from Twin … [Read more...]
A Lone VM Answers The Call
Once again, Scientology's own "PR" exposes the embarrassing truth about the scientology world. Though they repeatedly boast having "the largest private relief force on earth" (or some variation of this) that attend every major disaster, somehow apart from the photo ops the church puts out, nobody else in the world seems to know anything about them or notice their presence. That is because they are far from being a "force." They are a ragtag collection of people who are rounded up, persuaded to pay their own way to a disaster site, given a t-shirt and expected to pose for … [Read more...]

AOSHANZO
Big news. AOSHANZO opens tomorrow. There will be A "Special guest speaker" - why they are afraid to say his name is anyone's guess. Nobody is supposed to know he is there? Any enterprising media in Australia will know Miscavige is in town and even what hotel he is staying at. And there ARE some enterprising media in Australia who would love to ask Mr. Miscavige a few questions. But the best news of all is that this will be an opening "unlike any other!" Hah. And if you believe that I have a bridge I would like to sell you that spans Sydney Harbor. This event will be EXACTLY like all the … [Read more...]
