The First Clear Country

November 15, 2022 By Mike Rinder 26 Comments

You heard it here first. The First Clear Country is going to be the United States, according to ASHO. This is the organization that was created SOLELY to deliver the Briefing Course and Power Processing. They haven't had a Briefing Course for 20 years, since Miscavige decided it was "off-Source" (even though the course is almost entirely simply listening to the lectures Hubbard delivered to the Briefing Course students at St Hill in the early 60's) and Power Processing is the MySpace of scientology services. A "thing" in the past, nothing today. So, apparently they have turned their … [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...]

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...]

  The Chan Man He is going to singlehandedly make Canada ideal, like he has the US (except for those who are still trying...) If this guy is SO powerful, how come all orgs aren't done yet?     The Magic of Chicago? Bringing out the best in your child... Plus Freewinds "goodwill" tour and the Top Gun Chicago Air and Water show. Every one of these is a disguised recruitment event. Trying to get anyone to show up they can pressure into joining staff. Why not start with Marcy Sargeant?   Wick Allcock is still in Melbourne? He HAS been "put out to … [Read more...]

  We have quite a selection this week! Dilettantes Get Away Does this prize include an approved CSW from the Course Supervisor and D of P to not report to the org during the trip? (Of course there is no org in St. Thomas or anywhere else in the Caribbean other than Puerto Rico... despite the Freewinds leading the charge on clearing the planet there for 25 years)   For Eternity  For anyone who doesn't know about this -- I recommend you check it out. Scientology has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of tax exempt money to preserve the scribblings of Hubbard for all … [Read more...]

How Empty is Scientology?

October 10, 2021 By Mike Rinder 97 Comments

One of our regular readers, Doug Sprinkle, was in LA last week and went for a walk around the scientology complex. Outside of Flag, this is the largest scientology operation on earth. It should be bustling with people in the middle of the day... Unlike Flag, this IS a place for new public to be sucked into scientology. While Flag is a reflection of how many people are making it UP the Bridge, LA is a reflection of both that and how many people are COMING ONTO the Bridge. Things are not looking good. We know Valley is a wasteland. Never hear anything at all from Inglewood, Pasadena or … [Read more...]

Thanks to everyone who submits these each week...   Financial Security Workshop The irony is that the place will be swarming with more Regges than participants. The last place anyone should go for financial security is into any scientology building. Let alone Big Blue where LA Org, ASHO and AOLA Regges will be hovering. Not to mention IAS, WISE, ABLE, CCHR, WTH etc etc   Not much hype The most important beings in the universe don't get the hype that the dudes in the hazmat suits spraying Defcon 9 get.

Massive Dissemination Success in Los Angeles!!!!

July 8, 2021 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

    Hot off the press... This is a new level of desperate. Announcing to the world that they got a single person to buy a book -- some person looking for a romantic partner who is apparently a nerd got caught on a MeetUp.com phishing expedition by a reg at LA Org. Take note of the defensive attitude in this "promotion" piece: "anything new or different gets rejected by those who don't understand it and haven't taken the time to understand it - thus through mental laziness find it easier to reject and discard it." So much to unpack in that sentence. First, … [Read more...]

ASHO Promotion

November 16, 2015 By Mike Rinder 116 Comments

This is a recent email ASHO sent to SHSBC Graduates. The Snr C/S apparently doesn't have enough work to do, so is writing letters. He valiantly tries to worm his way around the fact that ASHO no longer delivers the Briefing Course -- it's no longer the home of the Briefing Course it is now the "home for all Briefing Course alumni to get training and processing" and "the top Survival Rundown delivery unit on the planet." This is like an email from Harvard to alumni if Harvard had been closed down as a university and converted into a Grade School. The straight up and vertical ideal PAC … [Read more...]

ASHO’s New Role

May 26, 2015 By Mike Rinder 117 Comments

For some time I have been commenting on ASHO being an org without a role. With the cancellation of the Briefing Course they have resorted to pushing "debugs" and "Basics." But now they have a new title "The Clearing Org of the Americas" This says an enormous amount about the abject failure of the "ideal" org program. Class V (local) scientology orgs are supposed to be the ones that do the "clearing."  But the vast majority of them (all?) cannot do so. Literally, they do not have the staff trained to be able to deliver the necessary actions to certify someone as "clear." And this is … [Read more...]

Awesome show today ... as usual. It inspired me to resurrect a site I started in 2008 on #Scientology. It fell into disrepair some time ago but it's coming back. Keep up the good work!

If you haven’t, please follow the amazing journalist @TroMcManus. She does outstanding work! The harassment she gets from #Scientology for just doing her job is absolutely uncalled for. Thank you for your incredible reporting Tracey! https://twitter.com/GrowingupinSCN/status/1637250281216917504
