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
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
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...]
The SHSBC Is Dead
ASHO Day and Foundation have been "combined" into one org. AOSHUK and SH Fdn have also been "combined" into one org. Never in a million years would any scientologist have expected that TWO Orgs specifically created by L. Ron Hubbard would be closed in the "golden era of scientology." Unthinkable. But like many of the other blasphemies that have been wrought in recent years, it was hidden in plain sight with loud pronouncements of "greatest expansion ever." And then there is this: Saint Hills NO LONGER DELIVER THE BRIEFING COURSE. And this has NOT been broadly announced as not … [Read more...]
ASHO Is Booming. NOT
More "good news" for those who love Bad News. The air has gone out of the hype balloon that was the Pacifica Ideal Bridge. Remember, ASHO used to be two separate orgs, now combined into one... And they are now crowing about their incredible statistics: If "virtually every preclear completing the SRD and going into the HGC goes Clear within 2-4 weeks" how can they ONLY have made 17 Clears in 2 months??? That means that have a grand total of 8 people in the HGC (giving them the benefit of the doubt and taking the 4 weeks figure). And that is with 24 auditors. A 3 to 1 auditor to pc … [Read more...]
Not A Soul On The BC At ASHO Day
It seems Miscavige has turned his CGI into reality. He is forever showing empty buildings in his "fly-throughs" of ideal orgs. He is also continuously sending everyone BACK down the Bridge to "start over" or "redo" things. And of course pay for the pleasure even though he announces at these events that "some SP's" had screwed it all up -- but those "SP's" were the people entrusted with the JOB at the time. And while there have been many reports of empty courserooms (see posts here about the tour of Portland and the earlier one on Pretoria) this one takes the cake. According to a … [Read more...]
An Unprecedented Future For Mankind (?)
The tidal waves are coming. It's GARGANTUAN. And what is IT? A million file folders for the newest newly renewed ASHO and AOLA. Is this the third or fourth time for the "new" ASHO and AO? And they have been "Ideal Org/SH Size Orgs" for as long as those concepts have been floating around the bubble. So how come their files are in disarray AGAIN? But in all our excitement about the files, let's not forget to get yourself confirmed for the events. We have NO IDEA when they will be, but make sure you sign up now, before Thursday at 2, to confirm your attendance for a date sometime in the future … [Read more...]
