Stories About Ron — More News

May 25, 2022 By Mike Rinder 30 Comments

Thought you might be interested to see what sort of turnout the ideal org in Melbourne mustered for  Tales from the Crypt night with Wick "Stickyfingers" Allcock. According to Anita Liza, the "audience was captivated"... Anita included some shots of the crowd that assembled... Unfortunately, no shots of the great storyteller himself, but the number of attendees (and their average age) says a lot about the state of the "ideal org" in Melbourne, supposedly one of the "best" ideal orgs. You know, those orgs that immediately "10X" their "expansion" once Dear Leader hisself has yanked … [Read more...]

Personal Stories About Ron — Sort Of

May 18, 2022 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

This reminds me of when they put James Byrne out to pasture to tell "personal stories" about the Commodore. All a 50 year SO veteran is good for is an event in Melbourne org? This of course is not likely to generate much revenue, so it tells you how unimportant he is seen to be. If he is in Australia it should at least be being held at AOSHANZO where there are more whales (or at least the Australian version -- James Packer no longer in the mix so the average whale size went down by a factor of 43X...) If he has such good stuff, he should really be doing this at Flag where the real whales … [Read more...]

Maiden “Voyage”?

May 14, 2022 By Mike Rinder 15 Comments

We recently saw how the May 9th celebration has been turned into a mention at graduation in local orgs. It used to be an "international event" held at the Shrine Auditorium. Now apparently the "Maiden Voyage" is being "celebrated" as a "Taking it to New Heights" (Lows?) "festival" at CC Int. One has to wonder whether the paranoia of Miscavige is dictating how everything is being conducted in scientology? Is there really not going to be a "Maiden Voyage" again this year? If it's not the fear of COVID dictating events, it's probably the fear of being served in lawsuits that is driving his … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Ridiculous Claims of “Expansion”

April 20, 2022 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

Captain Miscavige regales his sheeple with over-the-top claims of "unprecedented expansion" at every event he holds. The flowery Shermanspeak pours forth and the adoring crowds eat it up. They don't ever seem to remember what was said in the previous event, let alone last year or 5 years ago. If they kept track of the claims they would quickly realize they are utterly ridiculous. Over the years, numerous countries have "fully adopted LRH tech" and the military of literally dozens of nations have "embraced the Way to Happiness" and international corporations are "now operating on the LRH … [Read more...]

A First Ever Event of It’s(sic) Kind

April 4, 2021 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

There is always a boom "coming" in scientology. The new "breakthrough" that is going to make everything that has been promised for decades finally come true. But what is so odd about this is that it is an article of faith that they ALREADY have all the technology there is. The ONLY technology. The answers to all of life. So what is now going to be different? Without doubt, absolutely nothing. But these people WANT to believe there is something new just around the corner. This time Miscavige has "repackaged" the Organization Executive Course (OEC). Nothing NEW, just a new format for … [Read more...]

“Come On” Gibberish

August 15, 2020 By Mike Rinder 37 Comments

Word is going out to try to get people to come back into orgs to watch the screening of a new "event." Apparently, "It's Time" and the subject is a "Brief Breath in Eternity" (which is a rather unfortunate subject for a briefing that is apparently about the amazing work scientology has done dealing with the "planetary bullbait" of COVID - 19) or how everyone is "stepping 3 feet back" (like 1 step forward and 3 back?) They are getting the hype out right away in typical scientology style -- "as soon as we have a date we will let you know." Hope the brief breath hasn't expired by the time … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Decade

January 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 60 Comments

  Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year's Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of  "Standing O" calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on sentence. At the outset, let's remember that the "turn of the decade/century" event in 1999 was held at the LA Sports Arena -- a FAR larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium. Given the unprecedented, massive, straight up and vertical expansion they claim to have … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

August 8, 2019 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

  Don't worry, you will... Many times   Seriously? Next. Ideal Survivor -- where the last person to resist the regges wins. I bet this will be a lot of fun for the family. Get the kids up there pledging their piggy banks.   How about an ideal uniform Or at least a clean one.   The Chan Man is back Along with Raffy the Rascal. A pair of grifters of the first order.   Yeah, scientology will do that to you... Delude you into thinking you have the solutions. Funny how nothing was actually resolved. Just that she thinks they're "not … [Read more...]

Maiden Voyage Shrinkage

June 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 117 Comments

  There is a lot of shrinkage in scientology these days, and now Maiden Voyage is added to the list. (Yes I know the graph is meaningless, it’s how scientology always presents their “expansion” so it seemed appropriate...) For decades there have been 5 main events and a Seminar for every Maiden Voyage: "Opening Night" -- a summary of the "accomplishments" of the "OT Ambassadors" "Org Night" -- an update on Ideal Orgs "Source Night" -- the Sherminator with a veritable avalanche of hagiographic mumblings "Special Night" -- either something from Author Services or CST or … [Read more...]

Scientology Math — the “International Review”

November 6, 2018 By Mike Rinder 74 Comments

Some real "scientology math" at work here. They apparently sent a survey out to 47,565 email addresses they have. They got answers from 132 people internationally who have actually listened to all these ACCs. These are the people who listen to Hubbard lectures because they cannot afford to buy auditing. 13 of them reported they had completed their TRs and Objectives Co-Audit in the last year which was nearly twice as many as the 7 who had reported completing the year before. Thus -- a survey of 47,ooo proved that studying the ACCs doubles your speed of progress up the … [Read more...]

@LeahRemini If you are buying a ticket to a Tom Cruise movie, you are giving money to Scientology. If you are giving money to Scientology, you are supporting a cult that pretends to be a religion, whilst stealing people’s money and ruining lives. Don’t do that. @LeahRemini @MikeRinder

This is the country that never ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which is shameful.

The time has come for elected officials to pass legislation to actually protect our children from senseless gun violence. All of us failed them by letting politics and lobbyist dollars take precedence over safety.

CHILD USA mourns the loss of 19 children and two of their teachers. It is time for all of us to unite so this never happens again. We stand for laws that protect children's safety from violence including common sense gun reform.
