  OT Phenomena How "OT" is it to visit a friend in a foreign city and forget to bring his address and phone number?? Curing amnesia on the "Whole Track"? Hahaha The OT levels don't cure amnesia after breakfast.   No big surprise If you are flying in from all corners of the world in order to take advantage of the low prices they offer at AO Africa (compared to the other AO's, the prices are not "low"), you probably don't want to be paying airfares for repeat trips. It's a long way to Africa and a lot of money...   It's the final race to the finish … [Read more...]

    Wandering Wick Wore out his welcome in Melbourne. Now in his homeland creating big effects... Yawn. I guess he has been officially put out to pasture. He probably has a medical condition the SO doesn't want to pay for so they sent him back to NZ to take advantage of the free healthcare for citizens.   What does it take? Just some crazy wigs and an LRH quote it seems. Oh, and your money.   Graduation for Human Rights Day? Not enough graduates for a graduation. Not enough dones for an event about Human Rights. I know, let's put them … [Read more...]

This one is going to be the real story.... We are circling the drain, more unpopular than ever, stats going down, more leaving than coming in newly. So, give us your money.   Any excuse for a fundraiser... They're supposed to be GIVING OUT candy. They don't even know what Halloween is in Australia.   Gosh, what happened to Africa? Maybe they're not doing so hot despite their promotional pieces that always say they are? Then again, AOSHEU could be full of bs too.   Trick and treats? I think they might not understand the Halloween concept … [Read more...]

  A lot of promo this week has been devoted to the massively, spectacular, epic wider bridge OMG! But there are some other bits and pieces worthy of comment...   Postcard Mania? This is the venue, not one of the numerous completely empty Potemkin village buildings on N. Ft Harrison?   What is she holding up? Why are they blanking out a routing form?   Deep questions and an epiphany Scientologists love good conspiracy theories. Global Elites in secret perverted activity! Things TOO disturbing to share. But scientology has the answer. The ONLY … [Read more...]

    As I put the podcast announcement on the blog on Thursday, The Funnies took a back seat. Here they are, in all their glory...   6th Anniversary of futility They've brought in 2 NSO professional FSMs to host their Sea Org Org anniversary. Home utterly pathetic.     Applied Scholastics Open House Hosted at LA Org. Though this is a completely "secular" activity. Wink wink.   Good luck with that This program has already had trainees on it for a year and they haven't even sent their people to START!   Class … [Read more...]

  Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific.   First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal...   Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not   Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [Read more...]

  Not a whole lot of funnies this week. But as always, there are some good ones!   The Scam Goes On How, after 20 years, people are still turning over cash for this proven failed program is hard to fathom.   Hooray for my sec check! I'm in the middle of OT VII and I got a sec check! Wow. And then I found out I was in Power! Wow. Such incredible tech!!!! But as a Solo NOTs auditor and one of the top beings in the universe, how is it that you need anyone else to clean up your OWs or tell you what condition to apply?   Oh Canada... Lagging … [Read more...]

  "Ideal" Continent Will be accomplished by getting buildings renovated for Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Never mind the fact there is not a single org in Indonesia, the Philippines, China, South East Asia, Oceania or the Indian subcontinent. Planetary Clearing is happening!   More ideal-y-ness   Community and Economic Development? If they're so good at this, how come their own communities are disappearing before their very eyes? They're down to a handful of scientologists in the major cities of S. Africa and you can count them on one hand in … [Read more...]

  Unforgettable Performances and Awards That will be forgotten even before the event is over.... Nothing memorable about fundraising pitches, no matter how nutty they are.   Leadership and Expansion This guy obviously know all about those topics... that "ideal" org in Bogota is tearing it up.   Top Celebrity Guest So big, he or she cannot be named. But what sort of "celebrity" doesn't have their name mentioned? Either someone embarrassed to be associated (so why are they doing it?) or someone who is not in fact anywhere close to a "top celebrity" and … [Read more...]

  It opened the flows... The ridiculous things they try to assign cause and effect to.     Bottom of the Bridge at the "Advanced" Org They promote things that should be done in missions and lower level orgs. I guess when there is so little to talk about anything suffices.   He's BACK!!! Who knew he was gone?   More weird stuff at an "Advanced" Org They're going to teach people how to VIEW art???   Celebrate Mothers in scientology Disconnection from their children. Divorce from husbands who don't buy into … [Read more...]
