It's a surprise... Don't tell anyone. The Wonders of the ALL NEW Clearing Course Just a small question. Wonder how this person knows just how much bs he has been fed about how the course is now "shorter" thanks to COB. Oh, that aesthetic course pack... It made all the difference to his ability to get through the "new" GAT OT II. They actually promote this idiocy? Hot Off The Press Is is going to try to attain SH Size again. Perhaps they can scratch their way to the size they were 25 years ago. Unlikely -- no other org has … [Read more...]
Where’s The Monumental Expansion Dave?
This is a page from the latest edition of Planetary Dissemination News. Once again, it is hard to hide the truth. Partly because those within the scientology bubble often don't even understand what they write. More proof that the lies that are repeated over and over by Miscavige and Co that he has overseen an "era of unprecedented expansion" is a preposterous lie. So, more than half the largest cities in the world do not have an org OR EVEN A MISSION? But, look a little closer, and even this is a lie. This is the list of cities with populations greater … [Read more...]
Scientology & Nation Of Islam
The relationship between the Nation of Islam and scientology is becoming stranger and stranger. Whether anyone likes it or not, scientology membership is disproportionately white. Massively so. And Louis Farrakhan is militantly anti-white. So, what the hell are they doing in bed with one another? Miscavige made a big show of announcing a Harlem "ideal org" more than 10 years ago that is yet to open. No big priority there -- in that same time he has wrapped up and yanked the ribbon on "ideal orgs" in Cambridge, Ontario, Malmo Sweden and Basel Switzerland. So, clearly, the "reach" into … [Read more...]
The Epic Summer Of Scientology, Auspicious Ribbon-Cuttings And Other Hilarity
Fortunately, someone from the church sends me a "good news" email (from [email protected]) to keep me abreast of the latest stories released by scientology. The latest is worthy of comment for a few reasons. Here it is, the big news from Tokyo.... First thought. Chairman of the Pompadour is looking more and more like Bob Duggan and that hair is becoming almost Don King-like. It seems to have taken on a life of its own... Second, "Epic Summer" is a bit weak. Epic has been so over-used now to describe everything from the next graduation you must attend to the last … [Read more...]
The Models Of Admin Know How
Here is an email and promotional piece WISE just sent out. The masters of administration are STILL operating in the dark ages -- selling BOOKS that are "fully indexed" and contain "glossaries" and not even a MENTION of a soft-copy version that would be searchable. What better index could there be than "control F"? And, newsflash, you can click on a word on the computer (or your phone) and it will be defined for you! But of course, you couldn't charge $1350 for a flash drive or a downloadable file. WISE thinks they are the bleeding edge of administrative technology. All the poor "wogs" … [Read more...]
It’s ALL About The Money
Normally I would have simply included a couple of these in the Thursday Funnies and been done with it. But this week it hit saturation level and I felt it deserves a single post that gathers together a sample of one week of pitches from the most OT org on earth. The top of the bridge. It doesn't get any better than this, what every scientologist is striving for. The Moneywinds no longer seems to operate on any pretense about "delivering service" -- they are ONLY about helping people make money so they might extract it from them. What is that saying about money being the lowest motivating … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Brummie bananas These just get more and more bizarre. Bird's custard is a reason to give money for an ideal org? Oh, man, if only you had mentioned earlier that Jasper Carrott (?) was from Birmingham I would have turned over everything I own... He Who Shall Not Be Named... Was there a sighting of a pompadour behind the podium? Russian? How appropriate of nothing.... Mr. Rabies is in town You can earn yourself a special commendation if you bring 5 people with you On the hunt for the … [Read more...]
Debbie Cook Revisited
It's been some time since any news about Debbie Cook has surfaced. Then last weekend Tony Ortega posted that she has just published a book on Amazon about recovering from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. Although I haven't spoken to Debbie in years, I have thought about her and Wayne many times and after reading some of the comments on Tony's blog, I felt some background information might be of interest to fill in a few blanks and perhaps dispel some misconceptions. There hasn’t really been a reason for me to write about this before. Marty covered the activities of her case and the s … [Read more...]
The Idiocy Is Multiplying
These ideal org promotional pieces are getting crazier and crazier. I wasnt sure there was anywhere to descend to, but this one really goes beyond bizarre. 1.2 million miles flown in honor of ideal orgs? WTF does that mean? Flown by whom? Why? And can you believe those names? It's like Grade School debate team names. Second to none in Chicago? Well, second to Miami and Detroit. Orlando - Bringing the Real Magic (it's quite a trick to be beaten by Puerto Rico, Battle Creek and Long Island.... The next ideal org ballpark completion is on the runway. Ladies and gentlemen, we … [Read more...]
