It seems Penny Atwell Jones was hankering for a birthday party to show her support for a man she follows with all her heart. Denied the opportunity to do so for Ron, she took a shot now for Don. For anyone who does not know, Penny is a loud and proud fixture of the Clearwater scientology community. She is a well-known Flag FSM. Her daughter, Brooke Daniells, has been in a relationship with Catherine Bell for many years (not exactly appropriate for either a devoted scientologist or MAGA-lady) and she was the love interest of Ted Banas, Miscavige's full-time Clearwater bodyguard before he … [Read more...]
Scientology is a Happy Place
I was perusing the STAAD website as I sometimes do, and came across this which caught my attention. The theme that scientology is fun is a tough pitch. Sounds all well and good, the old catchphrase used to be "If it's not fun it's not scientology." I am not sure if this was EVER true, but in these days of crush regging, enforced disconnection and endless re-do's of every level of the Bridge, I doubt there are many people, even the hardcore, who would describe scientology as "fun." But it's an appealing concept and makes scientology sound like a good thing. And then I read the body of … [Read more...]
Scientology Preppers
An interesting thing here from some people who call themselves "Community Preparedness Group Int. Inc." Can't find this with a google search. It is my supposition that scientology tends to attract people who are conspiracy theorist/anti-vaxxers/New World Order types because these views fall in well with the Hubbard anti-government, anti-medical, anti-pscyhiatric, anti-communist, anti-UN, anti-everything not scientology world view. And within scientology people are indoctrinated into Hubbard's way of thinking, so the chorus of agreement continues to grow within the … [Read more...]
Scientology Front Group v. Scientology Front Group
There are a LOT of contradictions in scientology. Many of them in the words of Hubbard, usually in an effort to explain why some of his "tech" didn't produce results. But there are a lot of other contradictions that stem from efforts to either make money, or create "good PR." There are plenty of examples, for example, scientology says they are not homophobic, but subscribe to the writings of Hubbard that says homosexuals are 1.1 and all the evil that flows from that. But here we have something that came across my inbox purely coincidentally. A promotional item from Narconon laying out … [Read more...]
How to Attract Raw Meat
Some more words of wisdom from Pam Lancaster at CC Int. You can "erase any past dissemination difficulty" and have the amazing "win" of "impinging on another being." The language of scientology is alien. It's part of the bubble phenomena. Read these sentences to anyone outside scientology and they will be completely mystified. And these are not even scientology-coined words. As always, they are desperate to get anyone roped in and started. Like the snake-oil salesmen of old, they have a pitch for every situation. … [Read more...]
Scientology Recovery
I want to recommend to readers here to check out this YouTube channel: Scientology Recovery About a week ago Molly McMullen began putting up videos about her experience in scientology. They are all pretty short and she is clear, concise and wonderfully "uncluttered" for lack of a better term to describe her. Molly became a Scientologist in 1998 when she was 16, and left 10 years later. She was fully committed, abandoning her plans for college in lieu of "bridge progress." In pursuit of that she moved to LA and later worked for a WISE company in Portland. She said she began to … [Read more...]
Hubbard on Vaccinations
Tony Ortega has run a number of articles detailing the activities of scientology "Anti-Vaxxers." This is his most recent. One of the prominent scientology "conspiracy theory" purveyors is a guy named Jim Rego. He sends out emails almost every day to his scientology friends outlining rumors about vast government conspiracies, the "Deep State", George Soros, vaccinations, the World Bank etc. etc. This time, he sent out, without comment, a quote from Hubbard I had never seen before. If this is known within the scientology world, then it explains why scientologists would be against … [Read more...]
Spreading the Calming Influence
This is a photo taken last night of the New York "ideal org." While it is understandable in light of the nightly rioting in many US cities, including New York, it highlights a point that I often make here. Scientology routinely makes grandiose claims of their accomplishments that are disproven by the reality of the world around them. In this case, it's their own front door. They say Way to Happiness is bringing peace and calm to neighborhoods, societies and nations. You just need to get it into the hands of the people and they suddenly realize the errors of their ways and peace is … [Read more...]
Scientology’s White Savior Complex
Karen De La Carriere alerted me to this video that was posted on YouTube on 18 May by SkepticShe. I was not familiar with Lauren before seeing this. Obviously she has done previous videos of interest that I will catch up with. Her irreverent honesty reminds me of one of my favorites -- Carrie Poppy of Oh No! Ross and Carrie fame -- though Lauren is much snarkier. Anyone who reads this blog knows I have a snarky streak and I enjoy her mastery of the snarky burn. Lauren analyzes the "Decade in Review" International Scientology News that is a rehash of the "big" New Years event. Her take … [Read more...]
WISE Advice for Scientology
Here is some expert advice from WISE that scientology could use. The first line is an eye-opener. Just think of this. Scientology CLAIMS they have a product NOBODY can do without. And they have an absolute monopoly on it. Everything in the business is copyrighted and trademarked to be sure there is no competition. It is not just the cure for all illness, mental AND physical, it is the answer to all problems on earth and in the universe and has the ability to restore you to native state as an "Operating Thetan" capable of creating the entire universe, being in complete control of all matter, … [Read more...]
