Thursday Funnies

    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...]

  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.

Another Ideal Org Failing Miserably

August 4, 2021 By Mike Rinder 73 Comments

The latest news from another "ideal org" -- this time in Auckland. This is the ONLY scientology outpost in the entire country and is one of the oldest scientology organizations on earth. What passes for "accomplishments" in these orgs is pretty remarkable. Word on the street is that not only are the "ideal" orgs not paying their staff, they are also not able to pay their bills. Utilities. Copy machine. Paper supplies. Here we see what this ideal org is so pumped about. They got one guy to complete a "lecture course" that consists of basic lectures on Dianetics. There isn't much of … [Read more...]

How Long Will They Try To Milk This?

June 23, 2021 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

They are still being "inspired" by their PR response to the pandemic? "Events are held daily".... meaning they put this on a video screen somewhere and if there is anyone who happens to be sitting around in the vicinity they count it as an "event." Everything scientology did to respond to COVID 19 was simply for photo and video ops -- and months after the fact they continue to try to beat the last whimpers out of this dead horse. It's only because they have nothing else to present as there is nothing happening in the world of scientology. The pandemic has proven there are only two things … [Read more...]

You Can “Be It All”

May 13, 2021 By Mike Rinder 6 Comments

You can almost smell the desperation in this new promotional piece. The "ideal" org in Auckland is clearly in need of staff. They have a handful and are making no progress towards achieving St Hill Size (and thus the "Make-Break point" where they actually become viable). Their newest pitch is pretty pathetic.   This is the video they are wanting everyone to watch... It's very short. And very, very amateurish. Certainly not a SuMP production. Their sales gimmick is that you don't really have to give up anything to be a staff member. You can do all these others things … [Read more...]

Saving New Zealand One Body Thetan at a Time

May 8, 2021 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

Hubbard's Body Thetan story

  This is another in the series of scientology promotional pieces that reveal far more than they intend. Apparently, the senior OT scientologists at Flag believe this lady is going to "save New Zealand." This is the sort of magical thinking these people pride themselves in. They aren't merely deluded, they announce it to the world as if this is perfectly normal. And inside the bubble, IT IS. That is what is so remarkable. Sorry Marion Moffat, you have been on staff for decades in Auckland and have accomplished absolutely no impact on anything. Now, because you are telepathically … [Read more...]

Some Funnies

This is a random collection of things sent in recently. There is little rhyme or reason to them.   Hubbard Logic Wrap your brain around this. So, if there is anything you disagree with in scientology it is because you haven't properly recalled what you already knew...   Roping in an Ideal Org What they are actually doing is roping in some suckers. Though at this point, I cannot imagine anyone participating in any event like this that isn't already intending to hand over some cash. The more important question. Why is the Valley OT Committee wasting time on Albuquerque … [Read more...]

Another Ideal Org Fail

February 13, 2021 By Mike Rinder 54 Comments

So much to unpack here. This is an "Ideal Org" -- Miscavige flew in and yanked his ribbon in January 2017. An "ideal org" that in 4 years, like all the rest of them, has gone nowhere, let alone St. Hill Size. According to Hubbard, they should have attained St. Hill Size in a "matter of weeks" and there should be a Universe Corps team there getting all the staff through their OT levels. Instead, the ED and OES have just now completed their Objectives! Yes, the course that comes right after the introductory TR's course and before any metered auditing takes place. And they are … [Read more...]
