Something Can Be Done About It

Cult Shopping Network Desperation

By 94 Comments

The Cult Shopping Network (aka ScientologyTV) seems to be in desperate straits.

The Flag OT Committee is begging for help to try to bolster the failure.

They need to know right now if all members have “gotten others to watch,” “downloaded the App,” “forwarded links to non-scientologists,” and “invited people to attend showings.”

Apparently their advertising on TV, all over the internet and on billboards isn’t having the desired impact. So they will use the people that they know they can get to comply (those damn wogs are dictated by their reactive minds and are anti-survival so they don’t listen and comply to watch the CSN) — their own people.

It’s a top priority for the Flag OT Committee to get people watching it.  In truth, they should spend their time worrying about how many OT VII’s have blown the level and that they still aren’t close to reaching 10,000 EVER started. Or the fact that the “Mecca” is empty.  Or that they cannot round up any VM’s for a hurricane that devastated a region just down the road.

All in all, things are not looking good for the most powerful team of OT’s on the planet (according to them).

They are decidedly “at effect” of the world around them. Not very OT at all…

  1. I enjoy watching KCNA for the same reason: just how batshit crazy it really is. North Korean Captain Kangaroo included (no joke). CSN is about the same, except nowhere near as entertaining as watching the North Koreans hurl insults at various and sundry while screaming from the rooftops about how lucky they are to have Jong-Un as their Marshal.

  2. I haven’t noticed anyone pointing out that every one of the questions is a yes or no question. No asking for actual numbers, nothing like that, just yes or no. It’s really, really easy to answer yes; it appears that the recipients of this e-mail are being given a Get Out Of Jail Free card.

    Maybe that fact alone means something?

  4. Dave, here’s the handling: Haul out Marty to produce a dozen slick videos, acting as an “objective commentator” promoting the wonders of Scientology TV in his inimitable style, while showing that Aftermath Season 3 is nothing but a continuation of the same tired narrative of Seasons 1 & 2, with even less credibility. Then to conclude, have him tell his viewers how Remini and Rinder are using over-emotional scripted puff pieces delivered by paid mouthpieces trying to discredit the church in order to secure their fifteen minutes of fame. This could go viral, even surpassing the YouTube views of the Jenny Linson Show at LAX!

  6. Given the aging Scientology membership, Miscavige (who is now pushing 60) should consider shows on improving digestion, denture cream comparisons, etc. “Fiber for OT’s” and “Touch Assists for Arthritis” are two ideas.

    Scientology TV should also have a show called “Come Back Into That Body!” where the technique of ordering a thetan back into their body after a heart attack, stroke, etc. is demonstrated.

      • Also Cult Shopping Network needs sponsors with products and services catering to the average age of public Scientologists is probably 62.. Fox News has this down:by the way. And just look at how the following services will enhance the ability of an aging cultie to donate to donate!

        * Slip & Fall attorneys
        * Malpractice attorneys
        * Reverse mortgages

  7. I’m ashamed to admit that I enjoy watching Scientology TV but then I read a lot of books about tyrants/fraudsters; I suppose I have a morbid curiosity about how they managed to gull so many people into believing their nonsense. The “Inside Scientology” programmes are particularly crazy; they are more like episodes of “How it’s made” than a religion.

    I first became aware of Scientology when my school bus driver told me he was part of it and spent most of his money getting audited (this was circa 1985 in Scotland). Most people in Edinburgh are aware of Scientology (especially students as their offices are close to the University) as they are normally out in the street offering “free” personality tests. With the recent upsurge in MSM programmes about CS I have read lots of the excellent critical books and read this blog. Having listened to some of LRH lectures on youtube I struggle to understand how he managed to establish such a strong grip on his followers; to me it just sounds like stream of consciousness ramblings or am I missing something? Even the Scientology TV travelogue series consists of seemingly unrelated anecdotes devoid of any meaning.

    • Some key phrases: hypnotism, milieu control, undue influence, bounded choice, confusion technique, social pressure…Check out Robert Jay Lifton’s Eight Criteria For Thought Control; it’s an excellent summary of how cults work. Margaret Singer was a pioneer in the
      field of scholarly study of cults; check her out, if you haven’t already. There are many others who have written books about scientology specifically and cults in general that will enhance your contextual understanding of the bigger package of mind-fuck that Hubbard’s written ass-spew is a part of.

        LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME! LAME!
        They actually expect people to come flooding into their orgs after watching this drivel? I watched a program on that new place they built where they will print booklets and make all the signage for the various orgs and missions.
        HOOWHEE! WHERE DO I SIGN UP?

  8. Mike, This is a strong point that you are making. What a shame. Did they loose their mind or what??? This is so off base. So messed up, the right don’t know what the left is doing. Lol. And everybody staff & public say amen. Yay. You are doing amazing job. Also Hitler thought he was doing amazing job. That’s the big problem. No self criticism and self thought with all the new staff like SRD in place, cause resurgence, super duper no power etc. I am just refusing to believe this. Supposedly fricking most elite sane religious group in the world compared to others. Ha

    • After the defeat at Stalingrad, Hitler actually took responsibility for it and told his inner circle “The fault (of the disaster) is mine.” I’m certainly not trying to defend Hitler, but you’ll never hear His Viciousness ever utter the words: “The fault is mine.”

  9. It’s our collective WOG and SP Super Powers. Just with the powerz of my mind I’m preventing people from watching it! Ma we he ha ha ha! We’re so powerful! Ha ha!

    Oh wait, no, that’s not it. The channel is useless and tone deaf like all the other Scientology propaganda. I still have the tweet from 2016 where one of our favorite internet cult apologists was threatening everyone with CSN! He was sure it was going to wipe WOGs and SPs off the planet and shut us all up once and for all!

    Poor thing! And he probably won’t ever admit he couldn’t have been more wrong.

    No one wants to be a slave to the cult anymore! No one wants to lose their family, security, happiness, freedom, all for some vague promises of a better life here and in the beyond. People know too much about the cult and how it destroys people’s lives and families.

    Who is “curious” about joining that horror!?

  10. I watched around 10 minutes the other day. It was a show about a water polo player. She slowly described the rules of water polo in very rehearsed, heavily accented English between scenes of women in the pool playing the game. My eyes started to glaze over. What a waste of 10 minutes of my life. Possibly the channel might be good for getting people to fall asleep.

  11. I can’t remember what I was watching this past week, but I was surprised that LRH was mentioned, and not in a complimentary way, as in a “that’s what L Ron Hubbard did to brainwash control?)” it was something like that. It was just a quick comparison, then back to their main topic. It may have even been something discussed on the news. I thought that was great that more are becoming aware of this cult and not afraid of getting sued, or stalked.

    Reply

    • Those of us who were old-timers have a great fear of speaking out because we were personal witnesses to what happened to Paulette Cooper and those few brave souls who dared speak the truth back then. Even thinking thoughts against scientology hurt my stomach for years before I could get past that hurdle.

      HowEVER, I think that the more people speak out, the less likely they are to be stalked because of the sheer volume of those speaking out, by now the whack-a-mole numbers have got to be overwhelming.

      One person speaks out and David Miscavige sends his dwindling army to whack that person. Six people sent to whack, 5 whack away, 1 blows. The 5 who return are then sent with another 3 to whack the one who blew.

      Out of those 8 sent, only 7 return. Miscavige beefs up those 7 with 2 more, but whoops! now he loses 2, and he has to send two groups of 5, and there are only 4 left in total darkness, time to pull a few people out of the *harrumph* non-existent hole and feed them up to the point where they can function in society so they too can go get the ones who blew.

      But wait! Isn’t that how Mike Rinder blew?

      Hmm…must suck to be Miscavige these days.

      People are still being stalked and harrassed, don’t get me wrong, but it has to be more scattershot and less targeted, because due to the increasing paranoia of Miscavige’s teeny brain and the alcohol-induced psychosis, the sheer volume of those to harrass has become so great.

      The biggest problem with this is: David Miscavige, like LRH before him, will always hold a grudge against you – even if you have no clue you have wronged him, so if he’s angry with you, until he’s gone, you will always have a target on your back. That’s the ecclesiastical way, you see.

      • Oh my Valerie, what you have gone through is just something no one should have to endure, and especially those who meant no harm, only sincerely wanted to improve their own life and the life of others.

        Just my own view but I do think this policy of harassing and seeking to destroy the reputation and livelihood of people who want nothing more than to get out of this cult is one of the things that are going to erode away at the power that Miscavige holds. It exposes him for the power hungry thing he is since all this happens as a direct order from him. He can’t hide from that. Hubbard is dead, Miscavige stepped into the head abuser role. It’s all on him no matter how he tries to hide behind whatever disclaimer his slimy legal team writes. Nothing happens without his ok.

        I wish all of you the peace you deserve, you’ve earned it.

        • @Peggy, thanks for caring, but I’m actually quite lucky, I’m not a high profile target like Mike Rinder or even his makeup artist. I get some small blowback and some months-long harrasment at times, but I’m mostly left alone because there are people creating larger targets out there for Miscavige.

          My greatest enemy after leaving scientology has been my mind. It took longer than I dare admit to win the battle I fought with myself to admit that I was not this all-knowing wonderful powerful being and to humble myself to enjoy the beauty of life, and I still run into mind shrapnel after all these years.

          • Well I have to confess I at one time had that Wonder Woman thing goin’ on too. Then reality set in. It was a nice dream though 🙂 Very happy that you have found a beautiful place to continue to heal and enjoy life.

            I sincerely believe that everyone here who has their own success story of how and why they broke broke out, ( I guess the word is blew, some barely escaping with the shirt on their back) will help anyone still in to maybe find the inner strength to do the same.

            As for any harassment you received Valerie, none of it was ok. That’s never ok. I can’t imagine that anyone who did get out not having some form of PTSD. That’s a whole other mountain to climb.

            Here’s hoping that The Aftermath will be the one to award David Miscavige the “kick in the nuts that keeps on kicking”. That’s an award he so richly deserves.

    Why?
    Probably because THERE’S NOTHING ON IT WORTHWHILE TO WATCH?
    Maybe if they started broadcasting reruns of ‘ Scientology-The Aftermath”, people MIGHT tune in and watch.

  14. Excuse my ignorance and/or stupidity, (those sort of things seem to blend pretty easily when Scientology is thought of), but I don’t get their billboard graphics.

Expensive way to kill bugs I should think.

  15. I just checked in Google Play, and they show “Installs 100,000+” but only 2,241 reviews (indicating the installs/downloads may have been boosted by paid click farms) – and most of those are 5-star, a typical pattern for Scientology. Apple iTunes shows just 889 ratings, again mostly 5-star. Those are the two most common device platforms, so the total of around 3 thousand responses probably gives us an idea of the number of authentic downloads, mostly by members – likely under 10 thousand.

    I’m guessing that at least part of what Scientology is doing here, is trying to keep up the stats for downloads of the app, which management would receive, and which would affect its positioning and popularity ranking in the app stores. Stats of app downloads, and ScnTV viewership, almost certainly tanked after the initial debut, and likely haven’t gone up much if at all with the new “season” and all the expensive advertising promoting it.

  18. Scientology can’t even threaten their public enough to get them to attend their 4 main events each year to listen to Miscavige ramble on about generalized bullshit for 3 hours. How do they expect the poor saps to voluntarily tune into more of the same in the privacy of their own homes? It just isn’t going to happen. As far as the non Scientology general public, they aren’t interested in having Scientology blow smoke up their butts.

Answer ‘no’ to any of these questions and you can be sure you’ll find yourself in ethics or better still, holding the cans at the end of yet another sec check…. So, does the harrassed ot committee member answer? Or not answer? Not answering will probably get the same result. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. Either way, you’re damned.

I’m sure these Ambassadors all fawned over miscavige as they met on the Ship, got their pictures taken with him and were handed these Blue on Blues – a LONG list of shit they had to do before the next Maiden Voyage. They include things like selling Basics when they were in vogue, holding events to make money in order to renovate and get opened an Ideal Org, and a myriad of other enforcements, which include orders like the above, the latest flavor of the week, getting their areas to watch the CSN snorefest.

    A non-scientologist relative recently asked my why the church pounds on people to give massive amounts of money or makes people do things that they don’t want to do when it gets to the point it turns them off and they leave. I said because these quotas and orders and programs trickles down from david miscavige to Sea Org members, Staff, OT Committee and OT Ambassadors and they are punished with sleep deprivation, shit or no food, no pay or punitive sec checking if they don’t meet their quotas or comply with “orders” or fulfill programs. They get to the point that it’s all about meeting the demands of “RIGHT NOW” with no regards for people that they cause to leave or blow off as a result of their actions and with no regard for the future consequences of the church.

    • Mary, as a follow-up to your comment, I give you and all the happy campers at Rinderland this cheerful little missive. Feel free to copy and paste and send it anonymously to any email lists of Scientologists you might have.

      To: All Scientologists
      Subject: TECH BREAKTHROUGH!
      How to finally make the Dissemination drill work for you!

      1. CONTACT: Say hello to a person you haven’t met before and introduce yourself. This is pretty simple and mainly consists of just being friendly.

      2. HANDLE: This gets tricky as the majority of people you will contact have a negative view of Scientology. After you see that it’s hopeless to get them roped in, go to Step 3.

      3. FIND THE RUIN: Realize that what’s really screwing up your life is Scientology.

      4. BRING TO UNDERSTANDING: Google Scientology and read all about it from multiple sources and watch videos. Then GET THE FUCK OUT!

      • Lol, my friend tried that once, it looked great like he had hair, but he stopped using it. It got all over his pillows and he said it felt terrible. I asked how and he said douse your arm with hairspray and let it dry…that’s how it feels. It was hilarious!

  34. Dear Peggy,

    I’ve been too busy with I Love Lucy reruns and cleaning out the hall closet, so NO to 1 – 5. This evening is Ladies Bowling Night so I won’t be able to watch it right away, but I’m pretty sure I can get some of the gals to come over for popcorn and beer and we’ll take a look at it then. I heard it’s REALLY funny. Are Tom and Dave in it?

    ML,
    Nancy

    PS – give my love to your disconnected husband and kids. Come to think of it, I’ll invite them over to watch it too!

  35. Mike, these are such good signs:

    “…In truth, they should spend their time worrying about how many OT VII’s have blown the level and that they still aren’t close to reaching 10,000 EVER started. Or the fact that the “Mecca” is empty. Or that they cannot round up any VM’s for a hurricane that devastated a region just down the road.,,,,”

    thanks for everyone making public noise about the downsides.

    I wish the publishers of “Going Clear…” would allow the Sarge interview video clips to be replayed on Leah’s show somehow appropriately.

    What Sarge said is devastating vital info for Scientologists to hear.

    I wish they’d play the Sarge interview on Scientology TV for the followers.

    Speed up the decline. Sober them up.

  37. Maybe the Cult Shopping Network should put on reruns of “Leave It to Beaver” or “The Andy Griffith Show.” Or they could revive the Hollywood Squares and have Tom Cruise and John Travolta rotating in the center square. That would bring in viewers.

    • Yes, the traditional gay gentleman in the center square!

      With all the oodles of Super Scion Star Power, you would think they’d float out one of these people. Or give Joy Villa a show where she does what she calls singing, wearing her MAGA getup!

  38. It’s hard to imagine miscavige or anyone not predicting utter failure of advertising a direct TV channel with just more advertising about scientology. It’s like they were born yesterday, but on the moon.

  39. From a hindsight view, it’s always Hubbard to me, who is driving them to run themselves ragged worrying every micro turn they make or fail to make in response to everything.

    And then who to blame for when the stats go down, and then what program to rush into action to bolster the stats.

    Keeps them always so busy ragging on themselves for their failures, and then in turn gives them ample opportunities to rack up transgressions for which their paid for interrogation faux counseling pseudo-therapy they make themselves pay for that, to rid themselves of the burden of their transgressions for not making stats always go up.

    Good old Hubbard run themselves ragged system and blame always themselves and extract money out of themselves to pay their charade church and IAS for fixing the world’s failures.

    Then they go to Flag to pay to run in circles, too.

    Quit fast.

    Stop blaming yourselves for failing to make lousy pseudo-science Hubbard quackery not work. It’s quackery already, and Hubbard was a mentally ill healthed charlatan who only admitted in private in the end of his life that he’d failed.

    Not you Scientologists! Quit the place already.
