Toronto Files Fail

March 13, 2021 By Mike Rinder 73 Comments

OMG! Toronto is thinking about finishing their files. Like every single org on earth, they are incapable, even in this age of computers, of keeping their paper files up to date. They probably have millions of pieces of paper lying around unfiled since the 70's and now, 20 years after the "ideal org" evolution began, they are going to handle their backlog. One might ask the question, what have they been doing for 20 years? One of the only orgs on earth that was not required to buy a new building in order to become "ideal" they have sat frozen in time since 2003 unable to raise the money … [Read more...]

Canada – The First Ideal Country?

December 29, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

Hold on a second. The scientology definition of an "Ideal Country" is all EXISTING ORGS with "ideal buildings"... This is what they push all the time. We need an "ideal USA" -- that does not mean an ideal org in every city. It doesn't even mean an ideal org in each State. It simply means, all the orgs that ALREADY EXIST need to have new buildings purchased for them (or in the case of Toronto and Los Angeles, simply renovate the one they have -- which STILL isn't done in Toronto). Scientology hasn't opened a new org anywhere in recent memory. By this definition, the following COUNTRIES … [Read more...]

Oh Canada

May 17, 2020 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

Here's some news from Canada. It's a pretty good snapshot of scientology across the planet. The hype about Extension Courses is going to come back to bite them in the butt once the lockdown is over. "Intensive gains" from reading books. Who needs auditing? If this is so good, why would anyone ever need to go into an org again? It's going to be interesting to watch how many people use this as an excuse to avoid coming into orgs in the future. It is pretty funny that after two months they are still "accelerating towards 10X."  With the staff and Sea Org pretty much idle, they are … [Read more...]

The Largest Private Relief Force on Earth — Canada Edition

October 2, 2018 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

You know how much scientology loves to tout their amazing relief efforts and the power of their "tech" and the vast numbers of people they can launch at a moment's notice to do what nobody else can do in the face of disasters. Well, here are the 3 proud Canadian Continental VMs. Yes, 3 of them. Not really the largest private relief force in Canada one would suspect. And what are these 3 actually doing? Trying to convince other religions they should join forces with them... Now that's some serious disaster relief. Other than that they brought about "a reign of calm in the face of … [Read more...]

Newsflash: Cambridge Org is Now "Humanitarian"

April 23, 2013 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

The first org in the world is now "humanitarian". What an honor!  Seems like the right amount of money can buy a status not only for anyONE but for anyTHING. I am not sure even the Popes of the Middle Ages sold indulgences to entire churches? And how appropriate it is to spread the largesse so well piloted for individuals to whole churches. No need to keep your ethics in/train/audit or DO any humanitarian work/good deeds -- just GIVE the appropriate bribe, payment, pay off er... donation and all will be taken care of. Then you can proudly … [Read more...]

Thank you so much @azhlynne for your continued efforts to expose the lies told by the #psychoterrorcult that is #scientology. My daughter is being used as a tool of Fair Game -- which is the real violation of human rights. A brainwashed slave putting out Korean POW style videos.

Jack is 9 today. Funny, intelligent, kind and a perfectionist about everything he does, he makes my life a joy. Growing up too fast, but each day he becomes more of a companion.

The council was willing to make Mark the sole council-rep on the DDB, but because Mayor Hibbard also wanted to remain on the DDB they decided to simply ignore the DDBs request.

1. Longtime Scientologist Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) slamming "Going Clear," gives you some insight into Scientology talking points and how people like her remain trapped in Scientology.

Cartwright has donated over 20 million dollars to Scientology.

Yes, twenty.

Yes. And wild cult advocacy and education. 👍

Yashar Ali 🐘@yashar

Would it be fair to say you strongly associate me with wildlife advocacy and education?
