This is a good story to begin the new postings on this blog. Though long, this write up by Jason is worth reading because it illustrates with specifics and detail a lot of what is wrong with the RCS (Radical Corporate Scientology). His experiences -- and he would serve perfectly as the "typical staff member" -- demonstrate all of the following. Disdain for the well being of the individual. Insane stat pushing. Mistreatment of children. An utter inability to think or apply reason to even the most mundane task, but instead substituting the "winning valence" (mad orders and "cover your ass" … [Read more...]
Welcome To My New Blog
For 4 years, Marty Rathbun’s Blog – Moving On Up A Little Higher – has provided an invaluable service. It has been the best source of news on the current goings-on in the world of Scientology, exposed truths about what has happened in the past, provided a venue for those newly emerging from the bubble of the Church to announce themselves to the world, given insight into squirreling of the tech, offered helpful advice on sources of wisdom and became a place to find new friends or reconnect with old ones. Marty has always said that it was his desire to help raise spiritual awareness, to move … [Read more...]
Ideal Orgs- An Update
The continued descent of the Church of Scientology from theta into MEST is well illustrated by the Great Ideal Orgs Scam. You may recall earlier posts describing the beginning of the incident of this 3rd dynamic engram – Buffalo org the subject of an eminent domain action and Tampa org in a strip mall and an embarrassment to Dear Leader who was in Clearwater to ensure his role as executive C/S of Lisa McPherson didn’t surface in the legal proceedings following her death. David Miscavige Ideal Money Making Strategy With a continued campaign of propaganda by redefinition of terms, Misc … [Read more...]
Mike Rinder Argues Scientology is a Religion at Trinity College Debate
Here is coverage of Mike Rinder's trip to Ireland to represent Scientology in a debate at Trinity College. The focus of the debate was "Is Scientology a Religion?" For whatever reason the incorporated Church of Scientology declined to send a representative so he went himself to make sure that his religion was represented. Mike Rinder was ideally suited to this debate having served with L Ron Hubbard personally and having been a part of the Scientology religion since an early age. For more information on Mike and his history with the Scientology religion, click here to see his bio - Mike Ri … [Read more...]

More on David Miscavige Style Planetary "Clearing"
by Mike Rinder Having tortured myself Clockwork-Orange-style into watching a few hours of Shermanspeak® at the 2012 Maiden Voyage, I have a few observations. David Miscavige’s “Ideal Org strategy” is (no surprise) a complete bust. He has banked everything on “Ideal Orgs” and the IAS. So, in the age tested manner of a really good ser fac, he will go on proving the “rightness” of this insane strategy until he is dead right. Thus, his manic efforts to make it appear that “Ideal Orgs” are “straight up and vertical” by showing tortured, misleading “stats” (more on that later). But, through the smok … [Read more...]
How Miscavige Plans to "Clear the Planet"
by Mike Rinder Here is the latest poster put out by the RCS (copyrighted to CSI who are apparently now the main fundraisers for the IAS). It consists entirely of a quote from Chairman Mao that perhaps is more candid than he intended. He clearly delineates HIS strategy for planetary clearing. It doesn't involve training or auditing or Grade Charts or anything so messy and difficult that would require actual DELIVERY. The "IAS" is going to "Clear The Planet" -- hip hip hooray for the IAS. Hip hip hooray for "Chairman of the Bored" of Scientology Inc. (inclusive of the IAS and every other e … [Read more...]
The Rapidly Expanding Mission Network — Not
by Mike Rinder To hear Miscavige tell it, Scientology is expanding like never before. “10X expansion in the last decade than in the 50 previous years” etc etc. Of course, there are no new orgs in decades, but that gets fudged over with the A=A=A of new building=new orgs. And never mind the fact they are empty. Then he stands tall 0n his applebox and announces the wonders of massive expansion at the “bottom of the Bridge” in the Mission Network. You even see it in ads on TV – “10,000 churches, missions and associated groups”. Of course, if you go to Scientology.org and try to locate these entiti … [Read more...]
The Way To Happy Profits
by Mike Rinder Here is today's example of Corporate Scientology blood sucking. Dear ******, I just received the following announcement from the Bookstore Officer AOSH UK and wanted to help back this up: "This year the Olympic Games are going to be held in London, England - starting 27th July, ending on 12th August. There will be an estimated 6.5 million people in attendance from over 200 nations.

What Is Wrong With Scientology

Another OT VIII Has Seen The Truth Revealed
This is the story of how Halina Cirillo fell in and out of love with the Church of Scientology. A bit of background about myself. I was in Scientology for 40 years, on staff in Toronto through most of the 70s. My original post was Director of Processing which I held for 3 years and was then recruited into the Guardian’s Office and held the post of DG PR CAN. As D of P I had 18 auditors in the HGC and our well done auditing hours at that time have never been matched since. I left the GO in disgust in the late 70s after being shown confidential session data about my brother. Then I became … [Read more...]
Idle Orgs — The Proof
By Mike Rinder Remember the FIRST “Ideal Org.” It was NOT Buffalo. Buffalo was bought with money obtained from a suit the church filed against an eminent domain action to demolish the old org building to make way for a freeway off ramp. But Buffalo did set the wheels in motion that unleashed Miscavige’s Masonry Frankenstein, now terrorizing cities everywhere. In fact, the first “Ideal Org” was Tampa. I commented recently that Flag was made “responsible” for Tampa Org by Miscavige. After the Buffalo building fiasco, he heard that Tampa was located in a strip mall, and that they were having … [Read more...]
Massive, Straight Up and Vertical International Expansion – Really Dave?
By Mike Rinder There have been many posts and numerous comments on this blog mocking the overhyped “expansion news” that David Miscavige feeds his captive audience of clubbed seals at events. They are well trained to applaud every time there is a loud explosion and a line bursts through the top right corner of a graphic on screen. No other stimulus is required: disbelief is suspended and all critical thinking is cast aside. He tosses out stinking fish and the seals don’t even stop to chew – they swallow it whole and with relish. David Miscavige and the Scientology Mission Network Of late, … [Read more...]
