First 5,000 OT VIII’s

February 14, 2021 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

OK, so they have not been able to get 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs in 40 years, so they have come up with a new plan. Half as many through OT VIII. The 10,000 is derived from some obscure Hubbard statement about 10,000 people being able to control the destiny of earth. Here is how Clive Rabey put it back in 2014: ORIGIN OF THE 10,000 TARGETThis campaign was primarily based on the following LRH quote:"At any one time on Earth there were not more than about 10,000 people of a caliber that was sufficient to do a little steering or leading. There's only about 10,000 of them, really." - … [Read more...]

Big News: We Nearly Got Someone to Come In

February 7, 2021 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

Scientology: the blind leading the blind... Can you imagine any scientology organization being so starved for anyone coming in to take a service that they produce a promo piece about someone who announces a "big win" that someone is GOING TO come in at some unnamed time in the future? This is the true state of scientology today, small and miserably failing organizations. The only thing keeping the place afloat are the whales who continue to hand over cash for "planetary campaigns" and "ideal orgs." They have a single location where they are funneling the few people on service -- … [Read more...]

10,000 On Solo NOTs Rah Rah

April 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

I did a posting in February 2014 entitled 10,000 on Solo NOTs Update. At that time, they announced they have 6,433 who were "on or through" Solo NOTs. That is more than 6 years ago. And they were "targeting" to to be at 7000 by the end of 2014... Not even close. In those 6+ years, they have advanced 1317 or a bit over 200 per year. Of course, that is if you take their figures at face value. Which is always a risky proposition when it comes to scientology statistics. They are stat manipulators and fakers par excellence. You know they have not removed the dead or declared from this list. … [Read more...]

“Auditing on The Level”

January 14, 2020 By Mike Rinder 67 Comments

Another illustration of the crazy that is the scientology bubble. And it gets worse the higher one progresses on "the Bridge." I am not questioning that there is a problem with over-prescription of medication or too much diagnosis of depression or anxiety. I am questioning the bizarre conclusion: "I am auditing on the level, which ultimately will handle the disgusting goals and purposes of that criminal profession." How these deluded OT VII's can possibly believe that getting rid of their body thetans is going to handle psychiatry is something I would love one of them to explain … [Read more...]

The Impossible Dream

January 8, 2020 By Mike Rinder 77 Comments

Done? Since Day 1 the target has been 10,000. Now suddenly they cave and declare victory when they reach 75%? Let's not forget this has been going on now for 30 years. Trying to get people "Onto" ("or through" which is absolutely meaningless) Solo NOTs. In 30 plus years 7500 people on planet earth have reached the top of the Bridge. That is a TINY number of people. A large number of the 7500 are no longer alive or scientologists. A large number started and never completed the endless level. The entirety of Europe has apparently achieved 800... And they are PROUD of … [Read more...]

The True Measure of Scientology “Expansion”

December 14, 2019 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

On 6 January 2014 I published a blog post entitled Straight Up and  Vertical - Not which included information about the target of "10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs". At that time, almost exactly 10 years ago, they claimed to have 6410 people who had accomplished that feat. Ignore whether this number is true or not, we will take them at their word. Until 2014 they had managed to get 6410 people cumulative onto Solo NOTs. Many of them are no longer scientologists. Many of them have since died. What is important is how many are making it to the "top of the Bridge" each year. That is, … [Read more...]

By filing a fraudulent takedown request Watchtower is just sticking to the usual cult playbook, but I expected more from @TeamYouTube. They have a responsibility to shield ex-cult creators from obvious attempts to silence and censor by their former faiths. https://youtu.be/OxEkKyXk-uo
