How Many Clears are Going Up The Bridge?

August 25, 2021 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

 

It seems the Bridge is broken.

This is the latest out of Europe.

Between now and the end of the year, they are hoping to get 100 Clears onto their Solo levels.

This is not 100 new clears made. This is just 100 people onto Solo.

4 months at 25 people per month is their target. Even this meager target is unrealistic. They will not come close to this. No scientology target is ever anything but a wishful dream (“postulate”). Remember they have been trying for 30 years to get 10,000 onto Solo NOTs cumulatively.

25 people a month in an organization that services all of Europe and Russia. That is 750 million people.

Even if they raised their expectations to 25 NEW Clears per month onto Solo, they are not “Clearing their zone.” One in every 30 million people per month is not going to cut it.

As for where they got the 900 “done” — that is probably the total so far this century.

With scientology failing so dismally in its efforts to “get the tech into society” it is little wonder their only real activity is trying to suck as much money as possible out of the remaining sheeple before they die.

    How many Clears are going up the bridge? Well probably about as many as there are pieces of wood that are chucked by woodchucks. But woodchucks can’t chuck wood. 😉

      That is not important. Not the least little bit! Why not?

      Well …. have you not heard the expression, …

      “What goes up must then come down when the money runs out!”

      Listen carefully. Can you hear it? That is the sound of the money running out!

    At least 50% of people who attest CLEAR have a later Case supervisor UNDECLARE the clear state and
    order a new Clear Certainty Rundown.

    Some years ago the cult evolved a bizarre HCO Sec check on Clear.

    SECURITY CHECK ON Clear !!

    Laughter.

    This interrogatory was to find out if the person was parroting the Clear cognition read on the internet and thus attesting clear for STATUS. (Some status questions in the interrogatory)

    MORE $$$$ OF COURSE FOR THE HCO SEC CHECK !

      The CO$ could unexist me for all I care, and probably has. In Oct 1968, while running the Confusion GPM pairs on the Clearing Course I started laughing uncontrollably (line charge) for 5 days every time I tried to continue. When I told the AOLA Qual Sec I had a problem continuing she got got a mixed expression of WTF and suppressed laughter. She simply asked ‘has something changed?’ After another LC, I said ‘I got it.’

      The CO$ could unclear me and all they would get from me is a sneer and flip off.

    I really wish you would focus on all the good the church has been doing. Clears is just one stat. Have you heard about the tone 40 building they purchased in Austin? They are well on their way to fully staff the building. I heard they recruited a bunch of VGIs minors from the Los Angeles area. Soon the org will have 10 new staff if everyone postulates it.

        Like many religious groups, she’s saying that ‘what is good for scientology is good for the world.’ It’s like they heard the ‘what’s good for GM is good for america’ quote and thought that was a great idea.

          Are you sure that wasn’t you? He was an OT-I-DONT-NO and he used to boss all the PCs around.

      Good Jean,

      From my start in Feb 1967, the only ‘good’ that scientology did was tech training and auditing. Buildings? meh. social infiltrations? meh. ABLE, WISE, IAS? meh. The admin training does not qualify as useful anywhere.

      To me the only value (good) scientology ever offered was auditing and tech training. And here we are, virtually in non-existence with auditing and tech training. Please turn off the power if you are the last one out.

      ps; Ten, or a thousand, VGI teenagers are good for just what pray tell?

      “Austin? … they recruited a bunch of VGIs minors from the Los Angeles area”

      Let’s pick that apart.

      A group of minors. From the LA area. To work in Austin, TX. And they have been recruited.

      Am I right in remembering that sometime around the Katie Holmes / Tom Cruise divorce debacle, the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientolgy denied having any minors in the Sea Org?

      And “recruit” – does that mean engage in employment, or are these minors “volunteers?”

      What I’m asking, is this the Co$ boldly trafficking minors for commercial ends?

      If ‘good’ is just buying buildings, that’s damning. Plus Austin is a failed example of Scientology’s shrinkage and decline, and inability to get things done.

      First, Austin didn’t buy a building, but rather was renovating one they had long been in – do you just have your facts wrong, or have you been misled? It was finished before the pandemic hit, but they somehow screwed up in the process of getting a permit from the city to have an opening ceremony. Then after things shut down, rather than doing the competent and sensible thing and moving the org in anyway, they have continued paying for a rented “temporary” location for going on two more years now – which they also spent an unnecessary extra year in at the beginning, as their original building sat empty but with no work going on due to their having screwed up the construction scheduling.

      And 10 kids aren’t going to help much towards the nearly 200 staff they’re supposed to have for an opening, plus isn’t it illegal for minors not to be in school, and doesn’t sending them to Texas mean taking children away from their families? Are you admitting Scientology breaks the law and destroys families?

    With the collapse of body routing and any outside the current family recruiting, how can the $cienoverse keep membership up when nearly every recruit escapes shortly after one or 2 ‘courses’?

    It can’t survive and good riddance. Now, get out Lroners and stay out.

      Right, BKmole. I attested tp ‘clear’ and never did figure out what was different in me. About all I came up with was a massive crash-and-burn of depression, realizing that NONE of it was going to come true and I’d likely be stuck right where I was for the rest of those ‘billion years. ‘Twas lucky for me ultimately as that made me unsuitable for ANY position at Flag; I was even unsuitable as an RPF inmate

        Mark when were at DC did Tom and Liz claim to be clear? They both told me that they were clear however I recently found a list of all clears online and their name was not us. I did see a couple of names I recognized but their names were not on there. I remember thinking if they were an example of clear I was not impressed.

          Good question…I think Tom was OT 4 in the early 2000’s when I was on course at the Fraser Mansion. Not sure about Liz.
          It took me a while to see through their veneer of scientological ARC…They were two-faced putzes.
          And since the states of Clear and OT were and are fig newtons shout ouf of Hubbard’s ample arse anyway, we know that there never have been any real examples of those states of being.

      Glenn, I agree it’s plausible that 900 is their all-time count. Scientology has been trying to get to 10,000 on NOTs forever, and that’s probably mostly accounted for by major operations in the US plus I believe Saint Hill, so it seems to me that ASHO EU in Denmark could account for around 10% of the all-time total.

    I do not know how things have changed, but I remember well that many people preferred to go to Saint Hill rather than Copenhagen. Or directly to Flag.
    Recently (I don’t know if for a price difference) they also started to go to South Africa, from Europe.
    So the cake to share will always give small slices, regardless of whether they throw yet another game with quotas to reach.
    It is very likely that if these quotas come from above someone in Copenhagen is being kicked to the punch to reach them. But it will be useless.
