Captain Kangaroo must have cleared his schedule to make hisself available for the adoring smaller than expected crowds for the great day in Sydney. (Though they are not promoting He will be in attendance overtly yet, there are probably strict instructions not to let the SP’s know, and OMG don’t tell Bryan Seymour and Steve Cannane… what if THEY show up wanting an interview?)
After promising February, then March, then silence, they are now scheduling the big day for early May. That should give Him enough time to get a video put together for the Maiden Voyage Scuba Diving Cruise.
Doubt that Dear Leader will venture to any other of the illustrious orgs in Australia to witness his massive international expansion for himself. He may not even be able to find Canberra, Adelaide, Perth or Brisbane “orgs.” He might make a stop over in Auckland to see Lou’s hometown and inspect the decaying wreck they purchased over there as part of his “ideal” program.
Sydney in the meantime has just a month to grab the last bucks they can before they begin their new campaign of “an Ideal Australia”….
But be forewarned KoolAiders of Oz. If you cannot guarantee there will be no contact with the undesirables or the media, Lord Voldemort will shun you, just like he did Pretoria. It is a long and arduous trip that takes a toll on his fair skin and creates bags under his eyes, so if there is a reason to cancel, he will be happy to oblige.
Funny they don’t announce the time of the Grand Ribbon Pulling but instead announce “sign-in begins at 2” — probably because it takes so long to check everyone before they are allowed the privilege of standing on the same street as the great man. Wonder if his personal security will fly in with him too?
Here are some more specifics and a ration of exclamation marks to make it an official church communication:

Hey, the old Whitecliffe Arts College building in Auckland isn’t a decaying wreck!… on the outside, at least, have no idea what they’ve done on the inside.
PLEASE let me know if Slappy is coming to my town. I’ll have to tell not only Anon, but many ex’s who have bones to pick with Slappy’s local enforcer, Mike Ferris.
Will “The Great One” be flying private jet or commercial?
Oh, I couldn’t imagine that asshole Miscavige flying commercial. Could you imagine someone running His own game on Him – finding out His flight reservation and then arranging to be in the (no doubt First Class) seat next to Him? Oh, no, Dickless would never risk that. It would be pretty funny, though!
Be sure to bring a fussy baby that likes to chew on things and drools alot. I like the op Gus!
“could the vagueness about DM’s time of appearance have less to do with dread of the media” no, dread of process servers
When a guy’s Type 3 PTS he no longer knows what he’s dreading.
Personally I doubt if too many process servers would waste the time to book a flight to Oz and then there is the questionable legality of serving process on foreign soil.
Any no show will be likely due to the bad rep Scientology has down under.
I mean from what I’ve researched it’s almost as bad down there maybe even worse than it was during the Anderson Report.
Good point on the operating state of a Type 3. “Evahbody is agin’ im” His life truly must suck. All that money, yet he can’t communicate and is compelled to withdraw and hide. Sitting in complete charge of all the truly marvelous LRH tech and He cannot or will not use it to untrap himself. Can’t or won’t trust anyone to audit or repair him. Sabotages everyone else’ Bridge progress because He himself will never have it. Literally, He can’t have it because He knows He’s not willing to do what it would take at this point for it to work on him. A thoroughly trapped being. Wow. I almost feel sorry for him.
The underlying logic and sales pitch for Ideal Orgs is very old. Basically they are saying that you can buy fame and fortune: just donate along with everyone else to make us look good:
“If you donate money to buy your local Ideal Org building, then people will stop thinking you belong to a creepy cult because creepy cults don’t have big fancy buildings.
And, when you sit in your fancy new building the world will see that they TOO would like to be sitting in such a fancy new building and so the multitudes will join Scientology just like you did and they will pay large sums of money for Scientology services just like you did. Just you wait and see.”
It really seems like they have discontinued selling auditing and training to new people. They are just regurgitating their own people to donate more or re-do the Bridge. GAG I and GAG II are so bad, that no new public can hold it down.
That pretty much sums it up Robert.
Looks to me they’ve gone into competition with the RC Church.
Problem is though the Church of Scientology may have millions salted away unlike the RC Church they don’t have billions in gold reserves that they looted from the “New World”.
Meaning in this “competition” they could end up like the FSU that’s the *Former* Soviet Union.
Interesting point Robert. I’ve known some very degraded, monied people, who would NEVER be seen in a dive eating a hot dog or be caught dead in a thrift store. I think they identify to their mest surroundings in a way that is abhorent to them, because they have no inner sense of confidence in who they really are, because they are degraded. Some of the most beautiful spaces I’ve ever seen were created in modest ways by modest people. How can these idle orgs ever be beautiful when they are connected to so much fraud and human suffering.
“…a ration of exclamation points to make it an official church communication” Funny, Mike!
Now, could the vagueness about DM’s time of appearance have less to do with dread of the media than than His dread of another visit from Apostate Air Lines?
From what I’ve been told, one of the first Ideal Orgs, Los Gatos, went from about 100 staff at its original grand opening roughly 10 years ago to about 12 staff currently.
Seems like it was establishing the pattern for the future.
When I brought this up to an OT long-time friend, suggesting she not donate to a similar boondoggle in her own city, she answered back that she was told by the SO that, “We’ve learned a lot since those first Ideal Orgs were completed and opened.”
She drank the kool-aid to the tune of $30,000 anyways. Disconnected from me and a few other OTs who were coaching her from the sidelines. Oh, well.
Lurker,
I’ve noticed many flacks for the Church these days say “we’ve learned from our mistakes” then continue to make them.
Back in the old days to some extent this was true.
Now a days they just shoot the messenger then continue down their merry way down the road to perdition.
Yea, that’s been going on for years; “Oh yea, well it was screwed up back then, but it’s all fixed now” If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that….. Well I’d almost be able to buy an intensive.
They get new staff off the high of the new org, coercion of OTs, or a naive young person who’s had a win or two. Then, because they pay no living wage, life gets more and more difficult to sustain and the staff drifts away. It’s a classic roller coaster caused by good old fashioned suppression, aka, someone’s stupid idea that humans don’t need food or shelter.
TC’s jet can’t get that far without multiple fuel stops. Looks like he’ll have to book a flight with Malaysian Air…
One thing I see in these comments is the natural, predictable result of Miscavige’s shrinkage of the Scientology religion so that it exists only inside Idyllic Orgs. No more missions, no more field auditors. The natural effect of that administrative shrinkage…engineered by Miscavige…is that there are fewer and fewer places someone can go to learn Scientology or receive Scientology auditing. And in a place like Australia, that means that the distances one must travel to get “approved” Scientology are longer and longer and longer. Remember that one of the barriers to communication is DISTANCE. So Miscavige has been putting more and more public out of COMMUNICATION with Scientology. It seems to me that’s the PRECISE OPPOSITE of what LRH wanted. Hmmm.
Exactly!
How did Davy get to the Taiwan mOrg opening? It is too far for the little jet they own, will Travolta loan them his 707? I just can’t see Davy in a Quantas coach seat.
It’s not too far away for a G4 (or 5) or a BBJ (Being Business Jet). He went to Joburg on Cruise’s gulfstream. One stop from London. Same to Australia from LA. Probably Fiji or Tahiti.
Intriguing. I wonder if Deputy Source Miscavige reimburses Cruise (or Travolta, for his plane) for any of it? Like chipping in for the gas or something lol. Or if Cruise is expected to foot the whole bill for His Majesty.
Simple: they will collect more money and then have a great video to show at May event. No other interests or purposes are involved in this.
whale bait
Let’s see how the economics of having DM at the Sydney Grand Opening work out.
LAX-SYD is 7,500 miles. The Boeing Business Jet that Davey apparently charters in his role as the leader of the World’s Fastest Growing Religion(tm) costs about $15,000 per hour including fuel. It takes a 747, a faster airplane, about 15 hours over and about 13 hours back. The BBJ, including extra tach time for a refueling stop ought to be about 19 hours and 16 hours. Add another 5 for a detour to Auckland and a leg from Auckland to Sydney. So that’s about $600,000 just for the jet time, plus all the security and other members of the “wog” entourage (highly paid wogs being much safer than starving Sea Org).
In other words, Dave might be about to spend $750,000 to grace the Aussies with His presence, to open an org that in a good year might contribute $200,000 per year in Gross Income. Sounds legit.
Or, one could take the opposite view of how this will get paid for. Suppose they get 400 people to show up at this event, not unlike the attendance at the Portland Ideal Org grand opening (the last one away from a HQ location with lots of staff to bus in). That means that Dave has spent almost $2,000 per person for each guest at this gala event. Do you think Dave is going to reach deep down in his pockets and donate his expenses from his reserves? Hell, no! He’s going to reg the locals for everything they’ve got in order to cover his lifestyle, not to fund anything even remotely related to the actual business of delivering Scientology. I’d hate to be one of the lucky 400 in the audience!
Excellent number crunching as usual JPC!
NZ – 40,000 have reached for scn and nobody got them in? Did the ability to pick up a phone, answer an email or just talk to people just disappear because they had no idle morgue? But now they can. Lord save me…
And Sydney – I am willing to bet that the paranoid pope will not pitch. He will “punish” them for deferring their opening just like Pretoria. You can’t expect him to be available at any old time folks!!
Plus I have never seen so much help offered regarding accommodation etc. They obviously know that there are not enough active scientologists in Sydney to create a speed bump in the road at the grand opening. This should be fun…I hope the Sydney “Outs” will be there taking pics…
He is talking about Central Files which are not confidential, MegR. Your auditing and ethics files are supposed to be confidential, but as we now know, are not.
TY for answering. There are are too many files for a Never IN to be aware of.
And also what their financial resources might be. That’s even *more* critical!
They may not have any public, they may not have any common sense… But Oh My God do they have Ribbons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Lisa Terpstra. She was assigned to be my watch, er my “buddy”, when I first arrived to the RPF. That’s one thing they don’t tell you about that you are on 24 hour watch for an undetermined period of time when you arrive to the RPF. She went with me EVERYWHERE, to the bathroom, the shower, while I ate. Super creepy. She was a nice enough person. VERY serious and stern. I bull baited her for a long time. She was fun during that. But sad to see her stuck there on the sinking ANZO ship. After she worked so hard to get reprieved. Lisa, get out of there. It’s not too late to have a life.
It’s a bit sad to see the Terpstra name in the context of the Ideal Org racket. Just guessing, maybe Lisa is a daughter-in-law of Elaine and Gerry? They were mainstays of Scientology in Australia in the early 70s and have spent their lives trying to help, despite all the crap. There are a few awesome people hanging on in the CofS – the Terpstras are still kha khans in my universe.
Agreed. Gerry and Elaine Terpestra are good people, no doubt about that. I can’t remember whether Lisa is the daughter or daughter-in-law.
Personally, I don’t think he will make it. Hopefully, he will be answering questions, under oath, in Monique Rathbun’s lawsuit
Now we’re talking!
Under Oath means nothing to a Scientologist. They will only tell “acceptable truths” Under Oath. Ask Mike Rinder about affidavits he was forced to sign “under oath” while he was in Scientology. Under Oath is something the WOG world uses to suppress self-respecting “law abiding” Scientologists. Although seeing Miscavige deposed would be humorous, expecting him to tell the truth is preposterous as he is above the law, just ask him.
Exactly correct Valerie.
Wog law is way down the importance scale from protecting the well-being of the church. If you have to lie to protect the church or Miscavige, that is no overt as it is the “greatest good.”
Look at the recent testimony of Warren McShane and Allen Cartwright and Tommy Davis in the Monique Rathbun case. One lie after another.
Look at the statements sent to the media (they are even lower on the scale than the courts) — “there is no such thing as disconnection” and “we are experiencing our greatest expansion ever.”
Lies piled on top of lies. Under oath. For publication. Standing on stage. It doesnt matter. The ends always justify the means.
Yes, to an SP, they are always above the law and lying is OK if it protects the SP. So DM will lie easily and often on the stand. BUT I hope he does take the stand so that the lawyer for Mosey can take those lies and disprove them in open court and on the record for all to see. And I hope that the lowly media will pick up the story and publish all the lies they catch him in! And who knows, maybe that will snowball into a federal investigation and shut down of Int and the church and a forensic audit of all books and IAS etc resulting in DM doing the perp walk in orange. It could happen. Let’s all postulate it happening and see if reality is what we all agree it is. 🙂
Hey I agree with you Val and Mike…..
But still I’d like to see the rabid lil squirrel deposition just for fun.
I mean if it promises to be anything like this one:
http://rundbrief.org/kd0044/archiv/sc-i-r-s-ology/veritas/mailings/sw-2-1.htm
It’ll at least will be good for a few guffaws 🙂
And this is exactly the sort of comment they will gather up and give to the court to keep it sealed on the basis that it is being done merely as a public spectacle.
Mike,
As far as I understand any testimony given to a Civil Court is a matter of public record.
I doubt if even Miscavige’s “dream team” can suppress any testimony that makes him look like the incompetent moron he really is.
My comment withstanding.
Also the trial is already a public spectacle.
I doubt if my humble opinion would have any bearing on the Judge’s consideration of suppress testimony.
Testimony in a deposition is not testimony in court and is not always considered “public record.” There are plenty of depositions that are not publicly available.
And no Robin, your statement alone would not turn the tide. But there are a LOT of people who have made similar comments and they will be compiled together in a large binder like they always do and it will “prove” their assertions about how this is being done only to harass.
Well okay Mike.
Seems I had a mis-u on my understanding on the difference between testimony and a depo.
Thought they were given the same weight in court.
My bad.
Though I will say that there are many of us who feel that Miscavige is actually much like a ventriloquist dummy that is being directed remotely by some unseen intelligence 😉
Sorta like GW and Dick Cheny or something like that.
Anyway I’ll restrain my comments accordingly 🙂
Robin — they are given the same weight in court, especially if video’d — though a live witness before a judge or jury gives a better chance to determine credibility. But the vast majority of deposition testimony never makes its way into court. It is discovery. Portions of it may be used to support arguments and motions that are filed, and it is used to impeach witnesses at trial.
I see.
So the basic effort would be to squelch any deposition given by Miscavige prior to it being entered in open court.
Right?
Correct sort of. A deposition isnt “entered in open court”. It can be publicly available without any restrictions or limitations. But that means it is accessible to anyone who wants to read it. Not that it is “entered in open court.” If restrictions are placed on it then the only parts that become “accessible” are those that are filed in court to support motions or arguments — providing they are not filed under seal.
Thanks Mike.
For taking the time to clarify it for me.
😉
The most amazing thing is that there might be not a single sheeple who has not heard the phrase in one or another form: “the truth will set you free.”
And yet it does not seem to dawn on them that thinking this through any intentional effort to hide, deny or misrepresent the truth is therefore an actual effort to enslave.
Any sheeple knows that disconnection exists, as they were by now asked numerous times to do so. Yet they do not cognite on the obvious when they read the statements DM has released released denying disconnection exists.
They have eyes, yet they do not see.
Scientology will wait for the results of their filing for a Writ of Mandamus.
If the decision goes against them, and it is appealable, scientology will appeal it.
If the decision goes against them, and it can not be appealed, that is when I expect difficulties in arranging a schedule, jurisdiction etc (will the deposition take palace in CA or in TX, will a judge be present during the initial deposition, if it occurs or be required after reading the transcript of obfuscation.)
It is possible, though unlikely David will try to end the case by attempting to settle.
Not that “unlikely” in my opinion.
But personally I doubt if Mosey and Marty will want to settle.
Though Marty and I don’t see eye to eye on many things he does have integrity. So does Mosey.
Just my humble opinion.
Being a Never In, I find the email / letter that Panda has written very disturbing.
It is openly letting people know that your files are not confidential. I thought that pretense was still defended by the cherch
I didn’t write it, I posted it (see the “quotation marks”). It was written by Dave Beck, the ED of Auckland Org. This Comment Section format doesn’t allow for different fonts/colouring to make that kinda thing obvious, unfortunately. I could’ve just sent the email on to Mike, I suppose, but it seemed appropriate to this thread.
“…please invite all of your friends and family!! Let us know so we have record of everyone coming and can ensure they are accommodated!”
Translated = We need to know exactly who you’re bringing so we can run extensive background checks on them to ensure they desirable. If not, look forward to sec checks for being around a PTS/SP.
I chuckled when they said to bring your own family and friends. Before it was closed to outsiders and even the faithful had to have clearance and an ID card to get in. Now they lack enough people to make a crowd so they encourage you to bring your “wog” family and friends so as to fill in the crowd.
….and what happens when “family and friends” are not allowed in when they arrive? They can just hang around and patiently wait until it’s time to go back home?
Or… So we can check their availale credit card limits and bank balances
Oops Mike – can you remove that link and replace it with this one – (I had the wrong link cued up)

I love it that David Miscavige’s every move is getting revealed and exposed.
He is one man that is in a self-created prison of his own making. Captain David Miscavige will never be able to walk freely, think freely, speak freely and just BE!
He has put himself in a prison cell and thrown away the key.
He has to have body guards and bullet proof everything because of the people he has harmed.
Don’t anyone hurt him physically, please? Let’s just watch him unravel – this is too much for any human being to endure for much longer. He will find out he is human, has no super powers and will take himself out by the nature of universal laws of “cause and effect”.
On a side note –
Listen to this video of L Ron Hubbard – a rare interview. See what he says about “Suppressives”. I would love to hear what others think about this rare interview with LRH!
http://www.oursites.org/davidpopovich/myself.htm
When I first left the church, there were few websites revealing the truth about Scn. and no blogs available to read.
My first interest was to find out who LRH really was. I had been in the church for 25 years and felt I had the right to know who I dedicated most of my adult life to. Also, I couldn’t remember a time when LRH was not being attacked by someone, so figured there must be information about him I didn’t know about.
I came across this video on YouTube. It shocked me. The condition of LRH’s teeth, the lie about how many times he was married, how incoherent he sounded when he was explaining what Scn. is, his whole demeanor came off so flim-flam. This video definitely helped me to move on.
Anyone on the fence about the church should watch this video. It answers a lot of questions.
Gail, thanks for posting the video. I also was shocked to see the condition of his teeth. He said that people know you by your mest and teeth are mest. I wonder if he was lying about the money in the Swiss bank account.
Yeah I saw the “Shrinking World of L Ron Hubbard” and was unimpressed by the obvious slanted “journalism” attempting but failing completely in objectivity.
Allegedly they interviewed Ron for over three hours yet only presented about five minutes of this interview.
Probably the worst parts.
Aside from they’re fawning acceptance Home Office (MI5) and SMERSH’s proclamations of how bad Scientology is which I found somewhat grating and hypocritical especially accusing Scientology of being “authoritarian” was a perfect case of pot calling the kettle black.
At least Scientology hadn’t created an Orwellian state completely under the watchful eyes of millions of CCTVs and killed thousands of mental patients (many that could be considered political prisoners) in the name of “mental health”.
Not that they aren’t working to catch up these days. Especially around the Pac Base.
But they still haven’t reached the body count yet of many of the “mental health” organizations they quote in the broadcast.
No media bias there:
http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/types-of-media-bias/
Yeah right.
Gail – I don’t see the video – can you post the title so I can watch it? thanks
remoteviewed, you know there’s no such thing as SMERSH, right? That they were bad guys from James Bond books whom LRH wove into his paranoid fantasies?
Re remoteviewed — I see your points. And I wonder if _Scientology_ was in charge of the world, what atrocities would have been committed against supposed “SPs,” anyone saying anything positive about “psychs” and so on.
After all, we’d rather have you dead than unable. And never fear to hurt another in a just cause. And its win or die in the attempt.
If Scientology never committed comparable overts to some of the abuses you rightly name, it may because they never got to the point that Hubbard wanted of having it be Scientologists in the courts and government to say what was right or wrong.
I watched this video too (and countless others when I got out).
It struck me that LRH lied about his marriages and I thought “Why?” I wondered if he was ashamed about it because even though divorce wasn’t commonly practiced in his generation it did happen.
It then made me wonder what else he was or could be lying about. Who knows?
As for the condition of his teeth, it’s not a big surprise to me that they didn’t look so good. Ron was a smoker, which discolors the teeth. Dentistry was not advanced in the cosmetic area then. Even in general practice it wasn’t so great and many people born in his era commonly had dentures around their middle age, since root canals and crowns were not the routine treatment to save teeth as they are today and implants didn’t exist either.
We are used to seeing better looking teeth these days with all the advances in technology. Also, people are more enlightened on going to the dentist regularly for preventive care which goes a long way in health and appearance.
Doloras, there was such a thing as SMERSH. SMERSH is an abbreviation for “smert shpionem”, Russian for “destroy spies”. It was an amalgamation of Red Army and Soviet intelligence agency counter-intelligence units formed during WWII to streamline anti-Nazi counter-intelligence activity. It was broken apart after the war. Ian Fleming later used the abbreviation for his books.
The point here is that when Hubbard was talking about them, it didn’t exist. It was just as much a fantasy as his persecution complex regarding psychs.
I think that the term ‘ SMERSH’ is quite descriptive in the image that it invokes.
Dianetics was being infiltrated by govt agencies from 1950 and onwards. Ron was trained in spy-ops in WWII, by the US navy.
You can argue these 2 points, and Ron’s subsequent policy solutions, but one could also argue an effort to due-diligence.
The net result is that once started, policy evolved (or devolved), and resulted in the current mess.
It is too easy to critique something out of context, and will not resolve much. And this subject does tend to persist.
Hmm. I guess there was a real SMERSH, but I think it stood for Специальные Методы Разоблaчения Шпионов (Spetsyalnye MEtody Razoblacheniya SHpyonov; Special Methods of Spy Detection).
Hubbard saw SMERSHs and SPs everywhere. His motto should have been “Just because I am paranoid does not mean they are not really out to get me.”
Have there actually been any threats against DM’s creepy little life?
I always thought the heavy security for himself was just his own thinking that everyone is after him, because he’s so great and they are all SPs anyway and they want to do him in. (When it’s just the other way around, I know….)
Anyone have info on this?
There have been no actual threats that I am aware of other than Keith Henson way back when who made comments about firing missiles through his window or something. Of course, anything, no matter how far fetched or clearly a joke, is used to proclaim there are “terrorists” out there threatening violence. So, for example, I were to write a post discussing the hypothetical future of the church and said “well, if Miscavige gets run over by a bus tomorrow” that would be put in a file of “threats” that is then added to other similar comments and aggregated into a “big picture” that is used with law enforcement when they want public access blocked off or you will see them trotted out if Miscavige is unable to prevent his deposition from going forward with requests for special security, limited access, confidentiality etc etc of his deposition.
Maybe he should invest in a bullet proof lexan bubble to live in. Hey, He could call it His Church!
Only if it’s magnifying lexan so he looks taller….
Mike,
I was on ARS around the time that so called “threat” was made.
Keith from what I remember was just *joking* but the Church using the overweening paranoia post Murrah Federal Building bombing was able to get him labeled a “terrorist”.
Seems like the Church the (In) Justice Department didn’t have a sense of humor.
Anyway Keith was probably lucky that he didn’t make the comment after 9/11 or he’d probably be doing quality time at Gitmo’s Camp Xray because Homeland Security are real sour pusses when it comes to that sort of thing which makes the Justice Department almost seem carefree but anyway I thought the whole incident was absurd and like St. Gerry of Armstrong, Steve Fishman, Arnie Lermer, et al OSA managed to create another martyr and receive another big honking foot bullet in the process.
Typical of the hypocrisy of the Church these days using the engines of the state to reign destruction on their enemies while the “scriptures” preach continually about Government’s injustice, incompetence and destructiveness.
Accurate about Keith, Robin.
Thanks Mike,
Yeah I was rolling my eyes and shaking my head in disgust when I read about Keith.
Obviously it shows just how far out the Church’s TR0 bull bait is.
Don’t see a video.
IM,
Due to much of the jagged “sound byte”, “editing” on the so called “doc” I didn’t really get what Ron says about SPs that is that much different from what he’s said in earlier HCOBs and PLs.
Maybe you can quote for us what you think he says that is any different ?
Personally I like what he says in A Talk on Rhodesia on the subject.
Hubbard says in this video – “Critical People are not Suppressive”
“People that deny the rights of others are Suppressive”.
How does criticizing Scientology deny the rights of others?
People can look for themselves and the truth is the truth!
I know, I know – It does not have to make sense – IT’S SCIENTOLOGY!
Another example of how the church is not following its own policies as set forth by LRH.
“I know, I know – It does not have to make sense – IT’S SCIENTOLOGY!”
Well there ya go IM 😉
I thought some might appreciate the smell of desperation in the air here in ANZO.
“A Message from
The Executive Director
Auckland Day
Hello,
Well I am sure that everyone has heard that the
Sydney Ideal Org Opening is on the 3rd of May so now is the time to book your tickets for that weekend. Be sure to make it for the whole weekend, as there is a big Ideal Org event on the Sunday night that has a lot to do with New Zealand and getting our Ideal Org DONE! So book your return tickets to NZ for Monday morning and be at the event so we have the numbers to show the rest of the Continent that we really want to make this happen. When you have your tickets booked please call the org here and let me know as we are then letting the people in charge of running the opening event the numbers coming from New Zealand.
Locally, we are launching the project on getting our files done and we are having a Files Party night this coming Saturday night on the 5th April at 6.30pm in the org. This is a chance to get stuck into the files and help us get them into use. You can look up people you might know that aren’t currently on lines and get their details and get them recovered.
This is a very key thing for the Auckland org to get started as there has been 40000 people reach for Scientology in New Zealand and we need to start finding them and getting them contacted and let them know the fantastic changes that have occurred with our religion and that they can get standard tech in the org.
I look forward to hearing from you soon with your details for going to the opening and I really want to see you Saturday night to help on the files.
Much Love,
David Beck
Executive Director
Auckland Day”
Good Lord. 40,000 people?? You know AK Org was set up in the late 50’s- early 60’s so it’s been in existance for about 55 years. That includes any book they sold that they could get a name and address for – which Scientologists are fanatical about. They sell you a book for $10 and then DEMAND your name and address- creepy with an extra helping of creep. And if they reached 40,000 people, how come the New Zealand cencus only shows 170 Scientologists in the whole country?
Because only .004% of New Zealanders like kool aide
Do you have a source for the census data? If it’s correct and from the 2013 census, that’s about 200 less than the 2008 census.
Also… anyone else from Auckland reading this blog?
I live in Auckland (I’m a never-in). Picketed the old org in Panmure in 2009 and got followed home by some of Mike Ferris’ goons.
Find out what happened so people can get recovered? And to think it is just a mouse click away….
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but look at Tony Ortega’s site today. Lots of big news. One thing that shocked me after the big shock about Lisa McPherson attorney Ken Dander, was that the Kool Aide drinking big whale, Bob Duggan, made his millions as the CEO of a PHARMACEUTICAL company.
OMG. The church rails against all drugs and pharmaceutical companies, and even tried to get Tory Christman to give up her epilepsy medication. And in the early 90’s the church smeared Eli Lilly, a big pharmaceutical company in its famous media attack in USA Today Magazine following the Times article on the church. So to have the church be known for it’s anti drug and even anti medical profession (medicos), now their biggest contributor Whale is Duggan. So the rumor that DM is in bed with pharmaceutical companies must be true.
It would be interesting to see what kind of companies comprise the investments where Davie has his millions earning even more millions on interest payments earned in the markets.
Chicago-area big whale Randy Kretchmar was able to stay on staff for years as wife Sheryl Berman brought home the bacon while working at large advertising agency. When Eli Lilly moved their business to this same agency while said wife was senior executive, she stayed right where she was, while Greg Bashaw quit and began his downward spiral ending in his suicide. Noted in this blog earlier with OTC status by org, Randy had retreaded OT8 and Sheryl completed OT7. See, shilling for big pharma isn’t always so bad….
Dear ED Dave Beck – Don’t waste your time – they won’t come back!
Remember Standard Tech was promised by LRH. Then in 1991 – the BASICS were released with “we found that SP’s altered the tech, never mentioning WHO they were. Standard 100% pure LRH promised in 1991. Then again in 1996. Then Dave, those SP’s were still in there the whole time because in 2007, a new BASICS were released with another story about SP’s. Are you getting it Dave – SP’s are everywhere!! The Psych’s – they must be the Psychs! Now Dave – we are in Present Time and once again – Standard Tech was not Standard until NOW!
Wogs call that fraud and a rip off.
Clubbed Seals call that LRH 100% Standard Tech and use it as the justification as to why Scientology does not work. David Miscavige calls it – $cientology $tandardly Applied $$$$$ He wins – you lose Dave – that is Standard Application!
The reason they are not coming back Dave – They were promised 100% pure standard tech the last time they were in and it did not work.
There is a thing called “crying wolf” once too many times and THAT IS the Standard Tech, get it?
Now that the internet makes the truth about Scientology available to all who care to look – your cult is dead, Dave! Sorry to break the news to you buddy – we all know you are just trying to “help”.
Get out Dave. Hop off the hamster wheel!
Oh, and Dave, can you tell us exactly who the SP’s are that have been in Scientology since the beginning of time? Just apply that piece of tech, would you Dave. It may help you wake up!
Unbelievable how trained Scientologist’s don’t even notice the glaring beacon of SP’s are EVERYWHERE and they are never named! LOL
“There is a full weekend of activities, so please plan for this. Sign-in starts from 2pm Saturday, the 3rd of May.”
Bring your Credit cards, Inheritances etc as you’ll be regged all weekend!
Well this guarantees Sydney will be idle within 18 months
I’ll go a six pack of Cadillac beer it ends up being way less than 18 months. I say four months after opening the place is fit for a morgue. Lets shoot for the Fall solstice (Spring in Sydney) which is Sept 21st.
I am in favor of opening the Sydney Org.
Because it’s the only way the KA drinkers
will wake up. Give them 18 months.
( Ideal org business model failure)
You are being generous. I think the bubble gets popped within 2 months of the Grand Opening. Can you imagine? Sitting there – waiting for people to come in – not a drop!
I wonder if Chris Shelton can give us any information on how it was in the Twin Cities after they opened up. I think it now has been a few years since its Grand Opening? From what I hear – the building is vacant and most of it closed up to avoid 90,000 sq.ft. of heating bills during one of the coldest winters in a long time!
Can anyone who was in during and after a Grand Opening of an Ideal Org post what happened and how many staff members blew?
Based on the distance public lives near the Org
and amount of spendable money they have, X number of credit cards
divided by number of days food supply in pantry.( Mormons have one year )
Variables are number of children that can hold a shovel, rich parents that are
close to 100 years old, owners of Brothels and gambling casinos
Whale factor, makes over 50 million per year.
I have a few old friends from staff in TC. Though I live in Washington state now. I’d love to hear from any of them.
If they were to add gmail.com to my handle here, they’d reach me. =D
Maybe Davey just feels a compulsion to have an org where Mike was born.
I guess they will have to put lots of Men at Work to burn the Midnight Oil to get The Church ready for a Crowded House. Sorry couldn’t help myself.
