Has scientology now officially jumped the shark? This woman is proudly announcing they are setting up a "survival club" in the jungle in Yucatan, apparently with alarm bells clanging in her head with respect to the tragedy of Jonestown (in the jungle of Guyana)? One could assume this is just "rogue" members doing their own thing. But they are using an LRH reference and promoting it in the scientology world. If you can claim what you're doing is "based on LRH" there are plenty of people who will jump on board. Even for the wildest garbage. Or maybe this is just the new plan for ideal, … [Read more...]
The Vacant Valley
The mighty Valley Ideal Org -- the biggest and best ideal org on earth (according to their own hype -- is, like all other "ideal orgs," empty. How do we know? As has become normal -- they have announced it on social media. They have to resort to Facebook to find a twin for someone on Objectives? They don't have any other students available in the org? This 'ideal org" that sits in the middle of the self-proclaimed "largest concentration of scientologists on earth" in the biggest Class V org (square footage wise) on earth and the midst of "unprecedented" levels of expansion and … [Read more...]
More Hype = More Fail
A recent leak from inside the bubble inadvertently disclosed the state of scientology “expansion.” Now we have more. These statements are from a recent “briefing” (ideal org fundraiser) where they have to walk a fine line: on one hand they need to maintain the party line that everything in the world of scientology is going gang-busters, on the other hand there's a desperate need for money right now, right now, right now because the world is coming to a rapid end. Then again, the sheeple are so conditioned to swallowing bs they accept even the most blatantly obvious lies and contrad … [Read more...]
Scientology Continues to Fail in Australia’s Capital
The "ideal org" charade goes on and on and on. Surely someone needs to get some control over their promotional items. This one says everything that needs to be said about scientology "expansion." They have invested millions for a building and they have 7 staff . This is not even a Dianetics Counseling Group, let alone a Mission. Remember when they used to promote the upcoming ideal orgs with shots of dozens of staff waving on the steps -- Valley and Tampa and London etc. All those orgs are dead as doornails despite having much larger fields (I would guess the size of the Central f … [Read more...]
Scientology France: Fraud, Death and Fury
Please read this excellent story by Stefani Hutchison, published by Alex Barnes-Ross on his Scientology Business site. It's a perfect follow up to my post from yesterday. … [Read more...]
Paris Ideal Org Is Also Happening
It's not just Chicago that is really happening for real this time no joke. Paris is opening in January (coinciding with hell freezing over...) The hype has begun. But their preparations are just a few years behind... They are apparently now starting their "Files Project" (which you will see they promote as a "unique project"??) and they are trying to recruit people from outside the country to come and do it. Like every org since the beginning of orgs, they cannot keep the ridiculous amounts of filing required by Hubbard's "advanced management technology" current. And when required to … [Read more...]
Chicago’s “LAST Big Recruitment Event”
Everything is "GO" in Chicago. Not. They send out the weirdest messages... Last week they were telling everyone they had to go to LA for the New Year's event -- so they can cheer and wave banners when Miscavige, for the second year running, announces Chicago ideal org is "going to open." Now they are demanding everyone attend this briefing to hear someone "direct from Dominica." Is this like "Straight Outa Compton"? AND 2 "incredible speakers" who shall remain anonymous because they are just not known by anyone's at all. Then there are the "fly in prospects" because they don't … [Read more...]
Chicago Ideal Org: It’s Still Not Happening
Once again, it's supposedly happening! And what is it that is happening? You would be mistaken if you believed that this is announcement of the opening of the building that has been sitting ready and empty for nearly a year now. One of the 3 that were going to be opened "in the first quarter" of 2023. The poster leaves you with that impression. One from October did the same thing. The fact that they are offering dinner tells you everything you need to know. These are fundraiser, recruitment events. Probably more geared towards recruitment at this point as it's hard to raise … [Read more...]
The Scientology Way: Overpromise and Underdeliver
Hubbard wrote about the "Conditions of Exchange" and scientology uses this as their bible, operating at "Condition 1" -- "A group which takes in money but does not deliver anything in exchange. This is called rip-off. It is the exchange condition of robbers, tax men, governments and other criminal elements." This is today the hallmark of scientology. Taking money and delivering nothing. The latest promises concern the "National Church of Scientology for Australia." Canberra is a small city. Nobody ever goes there unless they have government business. Everything that happens in … [Read more...]
More Ideal Org Fail
This promotional item reminded me of something about the promise of the "ideal org" program... Miscavige heavily promoted that these orgs would generate new Missions, Narconons, WISE and Dianetics Groups, WTH chapters etc etc in their zones and that this would result in massive international expansion as those mission would then turn into orgs and the pattern would be repeated. He even had a graphic made to illustrate this, with a caption that reads: "The answer to planetary clearing is to make each one of our orgs a Central Organization, responsible for every sector … [Read more...]
