Any time there is a post about ideal org failures, there is a lot of speculation about "Why?" I have written various posts and comments about this from time to time, but realized I had never put it all in one place. There are two reasons for the ideal org program that go hand in hand. And it explains why, in spite of the clear failure of this program to bring about planetary clearing, or anything at all aligned with the "Aims of Scientology," it will continue to be pushed until the very end. 1. It is vital for Miscavige to hold onto his position 2. IRS … [Read more...]
More Proof Scientology Is Not Expanding
Every day things arrive in my email from people around the world that highlight the absurdity of the scientology bubble. Many of them concern the claimed "straight up and vertical" international expansion Miscavige talks about at every event. You know, international expansion greater in the last 437.3 days than the 12,469,873.2 minutes cumulative previously... 12 million scientologists. New orgs opening everywhere. Governments fully adopting scientology. LRH tech pervading society. More awards for Hubbard than any many or beast in history. Square inches of new marble inlaid. … [Read more...]
Boston — The Model “Ideal” Fail
This is another demonstration of the complete fail of the "ideal org" strategy. Boston is one of the oldest and once largest orgs in the United States (it may still be one of the largest with 20 or so staff). But it is important for a very particular reason. THIS is the org that L. Ron Hubbard wrote about as "proof" that it was not just him who could expand an org rapidly to SH Size. In LRH ED 339R-1 written on 10 October 1982 L. Ron Hubbard wrote: "It only took a few weeks to build the old Saint Hill org. That they did the same thing a few years later in Boston shows that i … [Read more...]
Milano Grand Opening Photoshop Fail
Dear Leader jetted off to Milan for a ribbon yanking even last weekend. It was certainly supposed to have happened PRIOR to the IAS event and couldn't get done in time. Ah well. It will be good to have something for the New Year's event. And he got to spend a week shopping for some new shoes at John Lobb. With the constant news from the Hurricane Leah, things have been backed up. I didn't want this to wait too long and tomorrow is Thursday Funnies and Friday is Regraded Being, so letting this see the light of day. One of our Italian Special Correspondents sent in this report. They … [Read more...]
LA Model Ideal Double St Hill Size Sea Org Command Team FAIL
One year of production. It tells you how insulated these people are from the real world. They put out these stats as if they are so monumentally, epically milestoney that they deserve their own poster. Remember 200 SO Org members were imported into this org to take it over. It is promoted throughout the scientology bubble as the "model" that everyone is striving for. The org that was awarded, by Dear Leader himself, the special status of "Double St Hill Size." This is the org that Andres Rodriguez toured around promoting -- "700 new people starting on service each week." That … [Read more...]
Puerto Rico – More Ideal Org Fail
These bubbledwellers are so condescending. And I doubt they are even faintly aware of it. "There is not one Puerto Rican who does not have a desire to do better..." Among other statements. And her grammar, vocabulary and understanding of geography is about 5th grade level. Puerto Rico is "off the cuff" of the US? An ideal org in Puerto Rico is "our way to really create a huge WTH movement across all the Western Hemisphere" But the really good news -- Puerto Rico is only "1.4 million miles away" from buying a building. Why they don't just say dollars really is bizarre. If … [Read more...]
The Prodigal Son Proclaims St Hill “ideal”
They put up the monumental, epic news about the opening of the "ideal" St Hill on the scientology.org website. And what a doozie it is. The headline is typical shermanspeak overhype, and the text that follows is every bit as laughable. The church claims that "more than 2000" were in attendance. If you can find close to 1000 people in the photo above it would be a miracle. More like 500. And you know this was the BEST shot they could come up with. Here is a small sampling of prolix word salad from the mullet man: A pivotal moment in what has proved a season of … [Read more...]
Dear San Diegan….
A Special Correspondent just forwarded this to me. It contains the latest "mind-blowing" "expansion news" Oh my, can you say hype? It is really hard to comprehend the delusional world these people live in. A new Purif completion every 15 mins on this planet. Let's ignore the fact that 90% of them are old Purif completions. People being recycled. Let's just take their figure at face value. This means there are about 50 per day internationally or 350 per week. There are 150 orgs and who knows how many missions. Let's be charitable and say its 300. It means that on average they are do … [Read more...]
The Failed Inglewood “ideal org” Experiment
Well, I guess the great social experiment of bringing scientology to the "African American cultural epicenter" has failed. Problem is that virtually everyone they could persuade to take services in this place are imports from other orgs and they repeatedly show their graduations and completions featuring a host of clearly non-locals from CC Int and elsewhere (see latest example below). The strategy of opening Harlem and Inglewood took a HUGE hit with the death of Isaac Hayes. He was the impetus for these orgs even exiting in the first place as he repeatedly harangued Miscavige about the … [Read more...]
Pathetic Portland Chapter XVII
How low can an "ideal org" go? Putting out a promo piece about two people completing an Intro Course is a pretty good measure. There should literally be dozens, if not hundreds of these completions every week. And if there were hundreds, they would still be 25,000 years away from "clearing Oregon" as a hundred basic course comps might translate into 20"Major Comps" and that in turn probably translates into 2 clears a week. 100 a year. But to get the real answer about how low it can go, there is this: Wow, that booming field is really "Clearing Portland" … [Read more...]
