This is the St Petersburg "Life Improvement Center" of the Tampa Org on Tuesday afternoon. Yes, the doors are closed, the lights are off and there is nobody home. Similarly, the "Mission of Old Tampa Bay" that was opened with great fanfare, closed up shop more than a year ago. This "Life Improvement Center" cost at least a couple of million dollars as part of one of the earlier "here is how we are going to clear the planet." This is TAMPA ORG -- the largest "Ideal Org" in the world. TWO St Hill Size Orgs. 10,000 local Scientologists (if you believe the church PR) who are all … [Read more...]
UK Scientology Is Booming?
Here is a new message sent out to demonstrate the "straight up and verticaliness" of AOSHUK. These numbers are cumulative from October to June -- 8 months. Each OT Level counts as 1 -- so if someone complete OT 1-111 that is 3 "OT's" even though its the same person. I doubt this stat counts theory and auditing as two separate "levels" but it may. But give them the benefit of the doubt and count one for each "OT Level" completed. Realize, they are PROUD of these figures!

Scientology Bowling For Dollars. Seriously.
This doesn't even deserve a comment (well, one, how about at least spell checking the 7 words on the first line). Valley Org surging back into the lead of the nutjob stakes.... … [Read more...]
Sick of “Scientology City” Yet?
They are certainly milking Portland (the first "Scientology City" according to the church) for all its worth. Funny how they were terrified that this "Monumental Dedication Address" not be filmed by Mark Bunker and not be seen by anyone who is not already indoctrinated into the brilliance of Chairman of the Bored Technology Center. And now it is being shown 100 times as something "monumental." Come on now, if it's that good, shouldn't everyone be able to benefit from hearing/seeing what the great man had to say? Is Scientology only for Scientologists? Why is Miscavige hiding his l … [Read more...]
The Asking Seminar
Here is something new, though NOT improved. An "ASKING" seminar to help you with asking for those LARGE, MEANINGFUL donations to get your fundraising done faster They just get more and more brazen, and apparently totally unconcerned about their image or the fact that they have become known for their money motivation. Someone coined the term "Sciendollary" the other day. It is sadly apt. A VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ULTIMATE IDEAL ORG ALLIANCE AT FLAG 7-9 JUN 2013 The Eastern United States (EUS) is ramping up to complete all EUS … [Read more...]

Nation Of Islam Leader Now Fundraising for “Ideal Orgs”….
Wow.... Have the Nation of Islam taken over the Church of Scientology Inglewood? What is in this for the NOI? How can buying a building in the Valley for a Church of Scientology possibly help forward their agenda? Have the NOI and Church of Scientology merged into one organization? Understand that Tony Muhammad is the head of the Western Region of the Nation of Islam. This would be like Heber Jentzsch being the features speaker at the Los Angeles Mormon Temple fundraiser to raise money to build a new Mormon Temple in the Valley. Why would he do that instead of speak at the Scientology … [Read more...]
Scientology in the Bay Area — Boom or Bust?
Last week we showed you the "test center" for Mountain View Org with a "For Lease" sign on it and reported about the two vacant building in an industrial park that have sat idle for 5 years now. A few miles up the 101 is another "Ideal Org", San Francisco. It is one of the original 5 orgs that launched Miscavige's program a DECADE AGO (Tampa, Buffalo, Joburg, NY and SFO). But even before the Ideal Org hype came the Ideal Mission hype for the "celebrity" Mission of SOMA ("South of Market") -- more on the other "celebrity" missions in Wichita, Memphis and Santa Monica in another post. Izhar … [Read more...]
Scientology Mountain View — A Not So Ideal Ideal Org
This is the first in a series of investigations into the status of highly publicized churches and missions. Thanks to Special Correspondent Ronn Stacy who took this shot of the Mountain View "Ideal Org" Test Center today. If you cannot see clearly -- those are "For Lease" signs in the window. Ronn tells us that he doesn't know if they relocated but that would seem odd since this was a prime downtown location they have had for a decade or more. At one time they ran most of Div6 here, OCA testing, basics bookstore, pinch tests, Div6 Crs Room, Book 1 auditing. Mountain View was one of the f … [Read more...]
Church of Scientology — Wack Jobs?
Just a bit of lighthearted amusement among the real news being generated by Corporate Scientology, but it illustrates an important point about the state of Scientology. This email is being sent out by Boston Org with no message, just the subject heading "Freedom Alliance Mystery Magnet." What are they thinking? Not much apparently. Not even a Paypal button like Austin to give them $25,000? But then again, I guess it makes about as much sense as the other garbage that is sent out to convince local org public to give money to other orgs for their "Ideal Buildings" when their own org do … [Read more...]
