Still Not St Hill Size — And Never Will Be

January 30, 2021 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

Sydney "ideal" org has gotten quite a lot of airtime on this blog as they send out promotional items that are routinely forwarded to me. Also because Australian -- and Sydney happens to be my favorite city in the world (close second, London). They, like all the other "ideal" orgs are evidence of the complete failure of this "bright idea" program in every respect other than swelling the coffers of scientology. For those of you who have not been around scientology for the last 25 years, let me explain how this "ideal org" program got started. It was a confluence of (un)fortunate … [Read more...]

Ideal Orgs, St Hill Size and Imaginary Bunnies

April 11, 2018 By Mike Rinder 103 Comments

Another "Oops" from within. And this one is sadder than most. This couple "had to sacrifice many things in life" in order to hand over the needed funds to be anointed a "humanitarian." And it was all for naught. That is truly sad. I imagine these are good people who believe they are helping their fellow man. But setting that aside, let’s discuss the imaginary bunnies that spread tall tales believed only by those in the bubble. Pam and Ed make a rather startling admission. When they say "during Boston's St Hill size days" this was in the early 70's... nearly 50 YEARS ago. St Hill … [Read more...]

Boston — The Model “Ideal” Fail

November 10, 2015 By Mike Rinder 154 Comments

  This is another demonstration of the complete fail of the "ideal org" strategy. Boston is one of the oldest and once largest orgs in the United States (it may still be one of the largest with 20 or so staff). But it is important for a very particular reason. THIS is the org that L. Ron Hubbard wrote about as "proof" that it was not just him who could expand an org rapidly to SH Size. In LRH ED 339R-1 written on 10 October 1982 L. Ron Hubbard wrote: "It only took a few weeks to build the old Saint Hill org. That they did the same thing a few years later in Boston shows that … [Read more...]

Disastrous EUS OT Committee Report

January 26, 2014 By Mike Rinder 100 Comments

The recent information from WUS resulted in one of our Special Correspondents forwarding this report about the EUS OT Committees to me.  It doesn't have stat grids, but what is lacks in numbers it more than makes up for with hype. Some poor soul compiled this information to forward to "Int Management" (there is no such thing -- there is no WDC. No Exec Strata. No ED Int. No Snr C/S Int. Warren MsShane testified recently that Heber is "President CSI though he is "semi-retired"). Trying to make themselves look as good as humanly possible, this report in a combination of inflated or made up bs … [Read more...]

Help This Man Save The World NOW! Where Is The IAS?

May 17, 2013 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

Read this NOW!!!  It is URGENT!! The world is coming to an end SOON!!! Act NOW!! Boston is taking the lead in the Nutball Stakes -- zooming past the Valley Comic Doorknobs with this follow up to their fridge magnet email. But the real question about this is WHERE IS THE IAS WHEN YOU NEED IT? Surely the IAS could spring $150 for 1200 DVDs to be run at Gold and $100 to ship them out. This is after all a Humanitarian program (that I fully support) and it could get a LOT of "good PR". So, why is Kevin Hall having to BEG people to give him money to get DVDs that the church can run off at … [Read more...]

Church of Scientology — Wack Jobs?

May 16, 2013 By Mike Rinder 31 Comments

Just a bit of lighthearted amusement among the real news being generated by Corporate Scientology, but it illustrates an important point about the state of Scientology.  This email is being sent out by Boston Org with no message, just the subject heading "Freedom Alliance Mystery Magnet." What are they thinking?  Not much apparently. Not even a Paypal button like Austin to give them $25,000?  But then again, I guess it makes about as much sense as the other garbage that is sent out to convince local org public to give money to other orgs for their "Ideal Buildings" when their own org … [Read more...]

Have They No Shame? Vultures Circling Boston

April 16, 2013 By Mike Rinder 60 Comments

This needs no comment.   Except -- Oh, how f***ing predictable. Way To Happiness Booklets? Come on... I think what these people really need is a set of the "LRH Encyclopediaa". Or the ACCs.   Pleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee.    Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 5:15 PM Subject: Way to Happiness for Boston Disaster Please see below from the PES Boston Org. The recent bombing during the Boston Marathon has left the city in a state of turbulence. To help with this, we are shipping over thousands of Way to Happiness booklets which … [Read more...]
