I have recently published a few examples of “success stories” from scientology’s supreme accomplishment, "New" OT VIII, the ultimate level of the "bridge to total freedom." Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of your life and you too can share in these same sort of “wins”... One would expect some pretty mind-blowing stuff from these highly enlightened thetans that have traveled the yellow brick road of promised spiritual freedom and ultimate cause over Matter, Energy, Space and Time. There are a LOT of promises made for the "OT levels" about your ability to operate at total cau … [Read more...]
The “Tech” of Marriage
The amazing hypocrisy of scientology is no better illustrated than with this promotional piece. Here is the "tech" of L. Ron Hubbard being sold as the way to attain happiness in life -- in this case success in marriage. This is a classic case of "Do as I say, not as I do..." L. Ron Hubbard was married 3 times -- each ended in disaster. He left his first wife (Polly) with his first 2 children (Katie and Ron Jnr) to pursue other "interests", including a relationship with the woman who would become his 2nd wife Sarah. He married Sarah bigamously. She bore him a daughter … [Read more...]
Flag “OT” Committee Minutes Sept 2019
I accumulate these and only really include them here so there is a record somewhere of the fakery that embodies the "Top of the Bridge." I've had some of these sitting here for a while, and a few others that were sent to me that I didn't bother to download. Someone sends them to me each week, it's just a lot of reading and highlighting needed. Here is this week's edition, followed by some earlier ones. What is so obvious is their focus on money. Virtually everything they talk about is money, fundraising and commissions. It's also interesting how focused they are on "collecting" the … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Assault your eyes I guess they think it will get a better result if they use the brightest colors, the biggest mixture of typestyles and largest number of words and images... Give his dentist an award Boy, he looks awfully happy for someone who jut handed over cash to another failed project. Hey Dennis, despite the millions you sunk into Sacramento "ideal" org, how's it looking? This is the "glee of insanity." This job IS life... I doubt that is true. Where do you live? Who buys your food? There are SP's everywhere You can't … [Read more...]
Why Elect Mark Bunker?
Tracey McManus article on the Downtown Development Board should be sounding alarms for the citizens of Clearwater. She explains: Three of the five candidates running for three seats in the Oct. 8 election are downtown business owners who are also Scientology parishioners. Three of the seven current board members are also parishioners: Stu Sjouwerman, founder of cyber security firm KnowBe4, whose term ends this year and who is not running for re-election; Ray Cassano, owner of Station Square Realty, whose term ends in 2021; and Paris Morfopoulos, owner of One Stoppe Shoppe, who is running for … [Read more...]
The Inhumanity of Scientology
Sadly, too many people pass away without the opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones. Those who die in tragic accidents or without warning. Others in other cities or countries that make it logistically impossible for a final face-to-face meeting. Some are estranged for whatever reason and don’t reach out to them, even when they often regret it as they take their final breaths and it has become too late. Then there are those who have had their familial relationships sundered by their beliefs -- that it will be spiritually harmful to associate with “non-believers” or those who have bee … [Read more...]
More Words of Wisdom from Ron
It is quite remarkable the level of foolishness a devoted scientologist is willing to accept if it is the words of “Ron.” As I have mentioned often, all that is required for any scientologist to buy into the most incredible statements is to attach the letters LRH to the end of the sentence. It is so absurd that it is seen as especially “impinging” if the statement is nonsense on its face. This seems to be proof that the “LRH quote” is profound — something us mere mortals perhaps don’t have the capacity to comprehend. The condescending “good scientologist” will assume the knowing look of “how … [Read more...]
The Pinnacle of Scientology Accomplishment
OT VIII is the end of scientology. The ultimate attainment of "spiritual freedom" and cause over Matter, Energy, Space and Time. This is what scientology proudly presents to the world to convince everyone to give them money to also experience what this individual has achieved... It starts with a description of this being "So simple”... And then claimed his/her success stories caused the supervisors to experience his/her universe explosions too... But “alas there is an EP”(?) and he/she knew it because he/she started to cry (?). All thanks to COB -- from one poet to another this is f … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard: How to Deal with Bullies
The words of L. Ron Hubbard are often contradictory. And yet, according to his dictates, his words are to be "duplicated and applied exactly without alteration"... even when he says diametrically opposed things. What defines a Floating Needle -- "loose and free" or "rhythmic"? Are you supposed to love your enemies or destroy them? Do you forgive or always even the score? Never evaluate for a pc unless the meter tells you otherwise? There are literally thousands of these. I was sent this promotion piece and it was SO contradictory to one of the most well-known things Hubbard wrote … [Read more...]
