Could there be anything more appropriate than adopting the name "Pirates" for scientology businesses? With the recent spate of bad news about sleazy scientology businessmen being prosecuted -- from David Gentile and the GBP Capital gang to Dennis Nobbe, Jay Spina, Robert Lotter and Brent Jones — the most "ethical group on earth" has a pretty poor track record of actually BEING ethical. And of course, let’s not forget the grandaddy of them all, Reed Slatkin. I now wonder if he might end up being overshadowed by Gentile... And who knows where Grant Cardone is headed? Scientology loves to … [Read more...]
Disconnection For All
Here is a new ad from WISE explaining the incredible value of "disconnection tech": The scientology "Admin Tech" people at the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises are hawking some more of Hubbard's "religious scripture" (which is what they call it in scientology) as "secular management technology" which is what they call the same thing at WISE. These 3 booklets contains the "secrets" to dealing with Suppressive Persons. Including disconnection. Like the scientology euphemism "confront and shatter" which is actually an admonition to "run and hide, sever all connection" with an … [Read more...]
The Benefit of Goodwill According to L. Ron Hubbard
Well, here is some more brilliant advice from the "non-religious" part of scientology, the "World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE)." Touting the words of Hubbard concerning goodwill and how important it is. Obviously, goodwill IS important. It is also something that scientology has none of. How is that possible if they are so in Source? Ron has laid out exactly how to attain this cherished goal. Why are they failing so badly? Maybe scientology should hire some experts from WISE to help them out... … [Read more...]
WISE Guys
There is a lot that could be covered on the topic of WISE -- including how it was created by Hubbard to "get scientology businesses off the backs of orgs" on the basis of his conclusion that orgs were not expanding because staff were moonlighting in scientology businesses and were thus "off purpose" (in fact it was only to be able to earn enough money to live, but Hubbard's answer to that was "make the org make more money and you will get more pay.") WISE today pretends to be something separate from the "Church of Scientology", in fact they state the on the "What Is Scientology?" website: By … [Read more...]
WISE Inc – Not So Wise
WISE is one of the lost step-children of the scientology hierarchy. Out there in left field, the only real value they have had is to pull a couple of dental/chiropractic consultants under their wing and then pump them to get new people using LRH tech and then onto the Bridge to collect FSM Commissions. The CO WISE WUS sends out a constant stream of useless articles about random subjects, and I have not commented on them before. But it suddenly struck me what is wrong with his pitch. Oh so very wrong. First, glance through this latest piece to get a flavor of it for … [Read more...]
The Models Of Admin Know How
Here is an email and promotional piece WISE just sent out. The masters of administration are STILL operating in the dark ages -- selling BOOKS that are "fully indexed" and contain "glossaries" and not even a MENTION of a soft-copy version that would be searchable. What better index could there be than "control F"? And, newsflash, you can click on a word on the computer (or your phone) and it will be defined for you! But of course, you couldn't charge $1350 for a flash drive or a downloadable file. WISE thinks they are the bleeding edge of administrative technology. All the poor "wogs" … [Read more...]
