Word on the street is that there is going to be an “amazing” event for March 13th… Supposedly the “first international event” since Covid.
But this amazing event doesn’t have a date yet — which seems a bit odd.
No doubt, Miscavige is going to do deliver a Shermanspeak hype-fest in the Flag Auditorium like he did at New Years and this will then be sent out to scientology orgs around the world to replay.
The March 13th event used to be held at Ruth Eckerd Hall every year.
But it’s not going to be this year.
Why not?
Two reasons:
First, Miscavige, as I predicted, is now trying to overturn the Magistrate Judge’s order that he has been served in the Baxter/Paris case. So, he still cannot afford to be out in public where someone might hand him a subpoena. If he got tagged, it would make the expensive filings his lawyers are making moot. And the ability to drag on this one issue and cost the plaintiffs time and money would be terminated.
Second, it would be terribly embarrassing to not be able to fill Ruth Eckerd Hall. I doubt they could at this point, even with SO members and Outer Org trainees.
The incredible shrinking world of scientology. Try as they might to convince themselves they are in an unprecedented era of massive, straight up and vertical growth, the evidence is the exact opposite.
“….. and exported to all orgs!”
Well, wouldn’t streaming it be cheaper? Is this why the money hounds latch on with their jaws, until you hand over some “treat” (money)? Because you have to pay to “export” this to other locations?
Also, exporting generally (at least when I use it), refers to sending something abroad (even though it can be used for sending locally, but then we usually refer that as “shipping it to “such and such”).
@Mike Rinder.
Didn’t the March 13th event also take place at the Shrine? (or is that just where it was “exported” to? teehee) I could have sworn there was one time it was a live one at the Shrine (I could be wrong though).
Scientology Events… sheesh! Attending, ie ordered to one is the nightmare you experience while awake.
Lead balloons are a whole lot more fun to play with.
Hope he gets served. Then it’d be a great event!
“….not enough hype……” – L. Ron Hubbard wrote this comment in one of the ASI despatches, rejecting Greg Wilhere’s program/plan to promote Battlefield Earth.
“….not enough hype…..” comment by LRH, trickles down eternally cementing all Hubbard’s marketing and dissemination policies for advertising Scientology.
“…..hype…..” – L. Ron Hubbard.
It’s never going to go away.

They’re ALL HISTORIC, EPIC, NOT-TO-BE-MISSED, AND IN ALL CAPS. Be there or see you in “ethics”. “Donate” NOW or later, when they catch you.
I jut viewed a Utube video with a real public Scn girl being on Andre Gold’ show. I onder if OA sent her to do thi? Or did he do it on her on and if o, ill he get in trouble? he ay he only pent $15,000 over ten year. He hould ak her here he i on the Bridge beaue if he even made it to Clear he ould have pent more money than that. My keyboard i acting up. orry.
Something is right with the world when Deuce Bigalow can expect to fill more seats than David Miscavige.
His ego alone could fill the first three rows of any hall they pick for the now weekly GREATEST AND MOSTUS HISTORICALLUS EVENT EVER!!!!!! event. Come with the last fifty dollars in your wallet and leave with five maxed out, before you even get the plastic, new credit cards and a fourth mortgage…oh yes, and your now empty wallet.
OH! They’d deign to return the wallet? Seems like a bunch of dev-t to me when they have other rubes to rob … er r … fish to fry.
So unprofessional.
Don’t they even see what this looks like and communicates?
It basically says ,
“We’re an unorganized mess. We don’t know what we’re doing. We hope somebody shows up but it’s unlikely. We’re not in glee, honest.”
I always enjoy when the cult insists that one “save the date” and then gives you no date. When they insist that one must without fail attend, must not miss this event, and then don’t furnish a location.
Just for fun one day I’d like to try this myself.
The invitation will go something like this:
“To ALL my friends, To everyone I know, just everyone who is friend, family anyone with whom I am acquainted including Mike and everyone posting here – you’re ALL invited to a huge, fabulous, VERY special party I am giving!
And you HAVE TO attend. You MUST come to my party. Because its just so…IMPORTANT, you know, and you OWE this to me, all of you, AND to yourselves NOT to miss this party of mine! And besides if you don’t come, I’ll be HURT. And you wouldn’t want to hurt my feelings, now, do you?
This party will be UNPRECEDENTED. To date in the history of this universe there has been NO party nor will there EVER BE one like the one I’m giving, OK?
The FOOD will be out of this world. (Here are some pictures of the food) And there will be ENTERTAINMENT. A laugh a minute! World renowned singers, dancers, comedians and musicians. Never mind who they are, they’re world famous even if you’ve never heard of them! Great music, dancing – wow! You really don’t want to miss this!
Now PLEASE CONFIRM that you will be there!!!!
Yes, PLEASE mark your calendar for the next 12 Saturday nights of the next 3 months and let me know IMMEDIATELY that you WILL without fail be coming to my party!
OK, thank you for confirming! Thank you so much! The EXACT date and time, along with my address will be furnished to you ASAP.”
I swear I’m going to do this one day 🙂
When I write this, Andrew Gold is going to talk to a scientologist

This era is SO opposite of the Events I once knew. And no ones catching on? I’m not that smart, yet even something like the (no) events would have triggered my spidey senses.
@ Ruth,
Degree of intelligence is not the determining factor. An average IQ 10 year old could see thru Miscavige’s scams. Anyone paying halfway attention would not be fooled.
These people have (for their own reasons) DECIDED to believe that whatever they’re told by the Church of Scientology is fact. They’ve also decided that whatever they are NOT told by the Church of Scientology, i.e., anything, any data NOT forthcoming from the Church of Scientology are lies or at best highly suspect and/or doctored information containing twisted half-truths, etc.
Its really simple: CO$ is not to be questioned, ever. They have DECIDED that.
Co$’s pronouncements on any subject large and small, the cherch’s slightest utterances are indelible fact to be automatically and immediately accepted as such. On the other hand, all OTHER sources of information are to free to be questioned and challenged, and if the information is damaging to Co$’s image, simply ignored altogether.
All Co$ members in good standing operate this way. Some of them are quite intelligent and good at analytical thought. Some of them are pretty damned dumb. And then there’s every IQ level in between.
What these Still Ins all have in common (if they’re in good standing)can be reduced as follows:
Anything CO$ states publicly is ALWAYS pure, unadulterated truth and proven fact. ALWAYS.
They ALL agree to this if they’re in good standing because if they don’t, they don’t stay in good standing.
They know only what their handlers tell them. There’s no “Ron’s birthday” or “Book one” event because there never have been such events. The only folks who might remember them are all out here looking in and cringing.
Monkey see monkey do, underlies everything. it’s in our genes, it’s inevitable. it’s all dressed up in higher sounding language.
Monkeys have to grab their own reins and leave Xenu-Scientology.
Their growth is most certainly straight and vertical. They just have the direction wrong. It is straight down and vertical.
You beat me to saying that. “Up” is back where they was, the opposite of where they’re headed. Of course, to the micro-twerpâ„¢, a snake’s belly in the mud is “up”.
Please don’t make terrible remarks about the snakes. I would trust them further than the guy you mentioned.
I’m sorry I insulted snakes: I wasn’t thinking.😱
It’s funny. The event strategy would be a but confusing for those in. I wonder what spin they are spinning inside the bubble?
To the inmates, “Be there, or else.” is the only spin they can give it. It’s going to be epic, of course.
WHILE miss cabbage spends long hours they’ll never ever get back saying nothing of substance, just a string of jargon keywords which are the orders to applaud and give (another) standing ovation, while the MAAs watch to see WHO is less-than-impressed for later “handling” and lower conditions.
Those that are in aren’t stupid, just misled, and I acknowledge that is a massive understatement. They are being told something about the not nailed-down date. Just wonder what that is. Like is it that process servers might find DM? That isn’t what parishioners are being told. Probably more like some scheduling detail, or that they are trying to evade organized protests. Just curious.
Sounds, upon re-consideration, that they’re trying to present a “mystery sandwich” — without anything of substance, not even a bun, much less anything substantial.
It sounds Orwellian to me – newspeak for “leave your calendar open,” and expect to come when commanded to do so.
There’s nothing to spin. LRH was born sometime between March 16th and the 25th. But that matters little as it was just the body he used for a short space of eternity.
I wonder how the Chicago event went. Every Scientologist was supposed to be there, right? (I’m not one.) I never heard anything about it here, and I live in Chicago.
Chicago’s big event went normally: No one not directly connected to it heard a thing about it. Probably only the SO crew shanghaied to staff the place showed up — a rare chance to take a break from the mindless make-work to see the auditorium/ballroom/whatever that was such a short walk away. It would have been a good opportunity to run “locationals” on each other after not seeing the sun for so long. But it would have been a chilly sun🥶.
L. Ron Hubbard actually conned a rocket scientist. L. Ron Hubbard helped the Soviets during the Cold War. I’m on public record as calling L. Ron Hubbard a completely useless waste of mass and energy. When L. Ron Hubbard was receiving a penny a word writing for the pulps Ayn Rand was a world class author who had her work published in hardcover and adapted for motion pictures. All of Ayn Rand’s work is still in print by the New American Library. Some of L. Ron Hubbard’s later literary work is printed by Bridge Publications. Who owns the New American Library? The stockholders. Who owns Bridge Publications? Bridge Publications is a department of Scientology.
L. Ron Hubbard will eventually be remembered as the incompetent man he actually was.
L. Ron who?
Elron WHAT?
But … but … Mike, thIs event is “HISTORIC” …
