A revealing look inside the mind of the scientology vultures comes by way of an email from the infamous Barbara Dews,. It's all about the "close" to extract money from the mark. These are the tricks to getting someone to give you their money -- removing their "brick overcoats" of objections to handing over their money. My favorite is the "Unattached Female Buyer" -- get her with flattery. Nothing like some good old 50's sexism brought forward into today's world. Why? Because in the 1970's L. Ron Hubbard recommended this book, so this horribly outdated drivel will endure for all time as … [Read more...]
An Open Invitation To Discrimination
Here is a new invitation being circulated among the "humanitarians" of the world. Wonder how this "Open Invitation" for "The Freedom of Expression" would work out if your expression was something not entirely fawning about David Miscavige? Or L. Ron Hubbard? Or scientology? Or what if you showed up bearing a cake iced with "Where's Shelly Miscavige?" They are literally inviting everyone/anyone: this invitation accompanied a note inviting a declared SP to attend this event. But then again, this is the email address of the originator: SCN_LFBDFN@ It doesn't fill one with … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Magic in Orlando All they have is an empty thermometer and ONE person to suck money out of? This is beyond "wishful thinking" this is outright delusion. Recently "back on OT VII" Wonder where he went and why? Such a strange thing to promote. Those are the question I want answered. A "Very Senior Executive" They don't have a name? Doomed to failure Can you imagine two sorrier excuses for "ideal" orgs than Buffalo and Cambridge and they are "teaming up" to "complete" the Toronto continental org? Other than LA Org and NY, the only org in … [Read more...]
Valley Org OTC Minutes — Beating A Dead Horse
The wind has definitely gone out of the sails of the most important ideal org in the world. They have plans to "kick off" the latest fundraising plans... But with just a handful of people who show up, one can imagine why the "GI" is 0. More evidence of the massive international expansion and straight up and vertical world of scientology. This is another piece of evidence of the true state of scientology. MINUTES VALLEY ORG OT COMMITTEE MEETING February 2, 2016 Note: The minutes are for the sole use of Valley OTC members. All members receive a copy. Please do not forward the minutes t … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts
Just some random thoughts. Super Bowl ads: What a colossal waste of money. IF scientology really had an interest in "humanitarian works" they would not spend a dime buying airtime to pat themselves on the back -- because the money would be needed for their humanitarian works. In fact, these ads serve absolutely no purpose than trying to convince the INTERNAL public that scientology is still alive. The reaction from the general public is revulsion and ridicule. The tone of the ads was pretty strange, and could be summed up as "See, we are not as bad as you think we are." There was not … [Read more...]
The “Plan To Take Down Psychiatry”
Ah, the certainty. The arrogance. The absolute conviction that your belief overcomes all facts. This is an example of a scientology fundamentalist (he also happens to make his living collecting donations for his "psychsearch" business in addition to being the "Overt Data Collection" guy for OSA Flag). The "plan to take down psychiatry" is to file complaints against psychiatrists. That assumes the majority of, if not all, psychiatrists are doing something for which a complaint could be filed. And then that those complaints are all found to have grounds and "Hey Presto" the psychs are … [Read more...]
It’s Super Bowl Sunday — What A Perfect Fundraising Opportunity!!
"Fixed donations," "mandatory donations," "required donations" are scientology oxymorons. Once the exclusive provence of church services, the "bright idea" spread to IAS donations (you must be a Patron to be on OT VII) and ideal orgs (you must qualify for OT VIII by contributing to your ideal org) and now have reached out into the "social betterment" programs and even the scientology public. And everyone is so conditioned to this that they don't even notice any more. And BTW, an "open bar" at a scientology event? I guess there are a LOT of people that are NOT "on lines" despite what the … [Read more...]
Reality Inside LA Org
Some of you may have seen mention of this podcast pop up on Google News or whatever news feed you watch. I spent a little time to listen to it out of curiosity. If anyone in scientology really cared, they would listen to it too. Because these two make a lot of interesting observations about what the experience is like walking into the "model ideal LA org" and subjecting themselves to the OCA/Test line and then routing onto an introductory service. It is pretty creepy and they note specific things that happened to them that really are off-putting. These two, while quite funny and light, … [Read more...]
