Thursday Funnies on Saturday

  Mini Mike visits Flag Just dropped in to try to say hi to Mr. Mickiewicz.     Rogue's Gallery Only missing Grant Cardone to complete this pantheon of hucksters.   This is the "Advanced Org"? Why are they promoting free introductory VM services?   Meet the staff? Just an excuse to put the best looking woman on their promotion. Surely the ED or Technical Secretary or even a reg would be more appropriate than the receptionist?   This is very weird.... Two scientology celebrities talking about "total freedom" starting with … [Read more...]

Safepointing in Mauritius

December 31, 2022 By Mike Rinder 7 Comments

mm     I hope someone gets the word to the Yeshua Fellowship Organization that they are being taken advantage of. You can bet they have no clue that these policemen carrying a banner in a march is "all in the name of clearing our continent!" They have NO IDEA scientology is involved in this at all. Yet the "Advanced Org" in Johannesburg is claiming this as a "major accomplishment." If Miscavige was holding international events, this would be being touted as "full acceptance of LRH tech by law enforcement of an entire African nation" or some such … [Read more...]

  This is the "Advanced Org" Their "Safe Pointing" campaign...   ASI's "Tasty Treats" Get yourself a shot of hot jolt -- while they try to sell you some "priceless" "special editions" of Ron's old, not very good, fiction.   He's Running in Circles He's "on Cause Resurgence" -- wonder if he's dizzy?   No Org Graduates? Just someone from Flag?   An example to others? Oddly for Chicago, she is young. This poster is a bit misleading given the other old people we have seen...     Avoid bad decisions Like paying $6 … [Read more...]

  A Field Auditor? Wow, pickins are slim when they have to announce they have a field auditor...   On the Plaque! Unless something happens in the next decade before their ribbon yanking and he is no longer "in good standing"   Why is she not training at Flag? Because they know she will NEVER graduate   How pathetic Begging for people to download their app. And not only that, begging for 100 people OMG.   Technology so advanced it can only be delivered at Flag... Like running around in circles.   The Swept-Away beard … [Read more...]

  Why? Because Ron pretended he knew everything...   Seriously? This is good news to shout from the rooftops? Halloween is a bigger deal than Ron's Birthday or the IAS events?   I don't think so...   Keep those cards and letters coming... Not getting much input it seems   Really worried by the lack of activity...   The reality of life on staff...   ASHO They used to train the "Dukes of the auditor elite," now it's DJ's, pumpkin decorating and some "success stories" from the AO across the … [Read more...]

  The effects from our recent event? An AO creaming their jeans about being able to deliver the Purif and Objectives? Now THAT'S expansion!   The Advanced Org nobody needed... They're so focused on getting anyone in for anything because there are no public moving up the Bridge they might as well call themselves the "Continental Org" and close every other org down and they still wouldn't come close to using all their space.   What about locals NOT on service? They would NEVER turn anyone away if they could pay.... And they have an IAS card and clearance … [Read more...]

  How very appropriate Enter the world of Alice in Wonderland. Yes, it's OPEN!   Not funny, sad I have not had the opportunity to read the decision. The activities of scientology are NOT beneficial to the public at large. They are only photo ops.   AOSH Africa Busting open the bottom of the Bridge I wonder if Joburg or Joburg North or Pretoria (all 3 of them "ideal" orgs) have ANY customers?   They don't have certs any more? Just cheesy signs they hold up...   In true Chicago style... Half a dozen, tired old people sitting … [Read more...]

  Back after our Alaska vacation -- which was wonderful. It's a breathtaking experience, unfortunately no photos do justice to its sheer scope and grandeur.   There are a few more funnies than usual as it's 2 weeks worth, so some are a little dated: Unimpressive Numbers They really think that 10 OT levels completed in a week is going to accomplish anything? I see only two OTV's and most are OT IV (which along with OT 1 are the fastest levels). One NOT's completion per week is not going to get the 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs for a LOOOONG … [Read more...]

  AO Africa?? Never seems to reflect "Africa"... There's one token representative on the left of the shot.   Africa? She's from Germany. Not at AOSHEU which is just across the border?   No wonder... They are promoting "public are flying in from all over the world". Apparently there aren't enough scientologists in Africa to keep an AO busy   Accepting Applications from Upstat Persons Not really true. ANYBODY qualifies. And they're not "accepting applications" they are begging for anyone from anywhere to join … [Read more...]

  Be kind, be decent... Yeah, the guiding principles of scientology. Not   AOSH Africa taking over the world One country that is actually their zone, everywhere else they are poaching other AO's territory! And who the hell is this guy -- he is from Albania? Why is he promoting AOSH Africa and not AOSHEU?   Oh boy... Columbus is almost the BEST org in all of EUS? And the real scoop on this Sea Org manned org is that it is a complete morgue -- listen to the podcast Chris Shelton did recently with the SO member who The Aftermath Foundation helped … [Read more...]

Finally diving into @MikeRinder s “A Billion Years” - my third book by a former Scientologist this year. These are unbelievable stories that I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about
