Here is some new hype from the original St Hill (and now home to the infamous IAS "Eunuch Man" statue): Dear Xxxxxx, I wanted to inform you of the great expansion that is happening at Saint Hill right now. First of all, you will be pleased to know that we are experiencing an incredible OT boom, having people come from all around the world to do their OT Levels. In fact we now have 127 people auditing on the Solo OT Levels. The expansion does not end there, in fact, we are right now finishing the construction of our Central Qualification Organization that will be manned by a total of 40 Sea … [Read more...]
How Big is Scientology?
The question as to how big scientology really is comes up often. The organization does not make its membership figures known though they have a good count with the total number of IAS members. Of course even that is inflated as it is notoriously difficult to get OFF a scientology mailing list and as long as they can still send you junk mail you "count" on their statistic. Over the years, spokespeople have variously claimed 4, 6, 8 or 10 million "members" but then refuse to define what a "member" is though a few times they have stated it is "anyone who had bought a book or taken a service … [Read more...]
Old St Hill On Life Support
Things are not too rosy at old St Hill. Their new Auditor mag clearly demonstrates how pathetic St Hill is -- and this is what ALL ORGS are striving to be like! Of course, they no longer have a Briefing Course to deliver - the original PURPOSE of the organization. But without having to devote resources to delivering the BC, one would imagine they would be doing a bang-up job of making up for that with everything else... Not so much. No wonder a new "Command Team" of Flag trained nobodies was sent to replace John Danilovich. This place is disappearing faster than a snowball in the … [Read more...]
The Prodigal Son Proclaims St Hill “ideal”
They put up the monumental, epic news about the opening of the "ideal" St Hill on the scientology.org website. And what a doozie it is. The headline is typical shermanspeak overhype, and the text that follows is every bit as laughable. The church claims that "more than 2000" were in attendance. If you can find close to 1000 people in the photo above it would be a miracle. More like 500. And you know this was the BEST shot they could come up with. Here is a small sampling of prolix word salad from the mullet man: A pivotal moment in what has proved a season of … [Read more...]
UK “Expansion”
A recent hypemail from "Ron's Home" caught my attention. Of course, Ron's Home is where they no longer deliver the St Hill Special Briefing Course and St Hill Fdn no longer exists. Hey, there are all sorts of indicators of "milestones" and "straight up and vertical" in scientology. Just as long as you proclaim the contraction is actually expansion, the sheeple buy it. War is peace. But what really made me this stand out to me was the LRH quote. This is the quote that "10,000 on or through Solo NOTs" is based on. Somehow the sheeple have come to accept that if there were that number … [Read more...]
It’s Magic: St Hill Is Highest Evers
How do you make instant "highest evers statistics"? It's easy, just combine TWO orgs into ONE. It's like a "golden age" expansion formula that Dear Leader has conjured up. Here is something from the latest UK Advance! mag. What is really amazing is the gleeful way they promote the closure of another org, one that L. Ron Hubbard himself put in place and wrote NUMEROUS policy letters about. How do they call themselves "on source scientologists" who are "dedicated to keeping scientology working" and "doing what Ron says" and yet get all excited about "the merge of Saint Hill … [Read more...]
Cognitive Dissonance
Do these people even realize what they are saying? Do they have ANY concept of the orders of magnitude they are dealing with when they keep saying they are "making planetary clearing a reality?" I guess they think this will convince people they need a LOT of money because the number is so big, rather than make them realize they should just give up and come up with some other plan for clearing the planet as this one they are operating on is nothing but pure fail. They recently started publishing "Clear Numbers" again as you can see in this recent page from the Auditor … [Read more...]
Why Isn’t Anyone Doing What We Tell Them?
This was just mailed to me. It is a little dated, but one thing you can be certain of -- things have not gotten better since this was issued. It might be difficult to read as this is a scan of what appears to be a photocopy of a fax of a "goldenrod." But I am laying out the important things here anyway, which are the figures on the first page which explain why this interrogatory is being issued. For those not familiar with an "interrogatory" it is something issued by the Ethics Department intended to help them get to the bottom of a bad situation by interrogating people about what they … [Read more...]
The Auditor Mag
St Hill has a new system of distributing the Auditor Mag in a digital version. About time they moved into the 20th century. Though they probably print and mail copies too at enormous expense. You can click on the link here to see it and increase their stats dramatically.http://issuu.com/dpmaoshuk/docs/auditor_magazine_386-english But there is really only one thing of interest: the "Recent Completions" stats. Of course, they don't give any time frame for the completions, but you know that it is a pretty lengthy span when the same person is listed as completing "Student Hat", "Pro … [Read more...]
More Stats From The Bubble
This is another unintentionally revealing look at the true state of affairs with GAG II. It makes a graveyard seem like a bustling hive of activity. First -- 90 Student Hat Completions (supposedly a GUARANTEED two week course) means that this is the size of the existing active AOSHUK field. Everyone had to redo this course (you can bet that the 90 did not include any NEW comps as they admit they didnt do 90 in the 7 previous years). Funny how this is what they hype -- at an AOSH they are proud of their Student Hat Completions and that this is 30X. They have 30Xed something that didnt even … [Read more...]
