Natalie Webster is an old friend who originally contacted me when her daughter, Shelby, was in training at Flag. She wrote the below as a response to Cindy and I asked her if I could post it as I felt it deserved more attention than it would get if it was a comment responding to someone on an earlier post. I asked her to send me some photos too! She overkilled these shots of happy family! She also wanted to make the following point, in addition to the comment response which follows: One point I really want to make is that there is life after the Sea Org and Scientology. A good life. I … [Read more...]

Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
Graduation Cocktail Hour? They've taken it a step beyond food in Australia... You can do the Purif here! Only at Flag, Freewinds, possibly the SO Orgs and Narconon. No Class V orgs or Missions. Because we said so. Good News! "In celebration of the New Year, the Christmas season production bonuses and prizes are hereby extended for three weeks: December 23 and December 30, 2021 and December 6, 2022. International Director of Finance" I guess they didn't make enough cash to pay any bonuses, so "Christmas bonuses" are going to become … [Read more...]
Orgable?
Something I had not seen before was sent to me recently. It is a website called Orgable. Apparently you can now get "Administrative Software for the 21st Century" if you subscribe for a monthly fee. Never mind it is actually provenly unworkable, bureaucratic administrative technology from the 1950's. According to their website, this administrative software includes "everything you need to expand" -- including an org board. What software provides an Org Board is a little unclear, but I hate to tell their potential subscribers that if they want this "21st Century technology" … [Read more...]
Episode 70: Claire Headley Knowledge Reports
We continue our discussion from last week about Committees of Evidence with Claire Headley, now covering the snitch culture of scientology and the subject of Knowledge Reports. It is one of the most important control mechanisms within the scientology world. As we normally do, I have included documents that give the whole story of things we mention. Scientology Org Board outline, the full "7 Division Org Board": The "Hubbard Communications Office" Div 1 org board. Department 3 "Inspection and Reports" is where the Ethics Officer is located The Anderson … [Read more...]
NY Org Sprung a Massive Leak
Some pretty devastating information from NY Org has found its way to me. These are stat graphs of NY Day and Fdn for this year. This is the big kahuna model ideal org on the East Coast -- right off Times Square, it is in the ideal location for a Class V org, its one of the oldest orgs on earth, and was the 5th ideal org to ever open, way back in 2004. As Miscavige said numerous times, the "ideal org" strategy was the stepping stone that would make it possible for all orgs to make it to the size of Old St Hill. That is the "make-break" point of a scientology organization … [Read more...]
Bookselling Stories — Lie Like a Professional
Sydney is pitching some "stories" about bookselling. "Matt" is apparently a pro who knows how to make a sale by overcoming objections. I have included the whole promo piece here and circled some specific points of note. His technique for overcoming objections is to just lie: As you can see, part of the pitch is the lie that L. Ron Hubbard was an "Engineer" who "travelled a lot in the East as a teenager." Definitely NOT an "engineer" and he traveled a bit in the East as a teenager, though being "exposed" to buddhism is a sleaze, he was also … [Read more...]
