  For a minimum donation of $25... We will teach you how to find a 2D! Using the Hubbard technology that guided him through 3 marriages, estranged children, lawsuits, abandoned wives and so much more.   Donating for promotion now This is supposed to be the PRIMARY thing purchased with funds paid for scientology services according to L. Ron Hubbard in his "What Your Fees Buy" But it's nice that you get a "Team Player" award... That's a classy touch.   Join staff in Austin Org Because there are lots of people who HOME SCHOOL (caps theirs) … [Read more...]

  OT Phenomena How "OT" is it to visit a friend in a foreign city and forget to bring his address and phone number?? Curing amnesia on the "Whole Track"? Hahaha The OT levels don't cure amnesia after breakfast.   No big surprise If you are flying in from all corners of the world in order to take advantage of the low prices they offer at AO Africa (compared to the other AO's, the prices are not "low"), you probably don't want to be paying airfares for repeat trips. It's a long way to Africa and a lot of money...   It's the final race to the finish … [Read more...]

  Of course, this week we have a lot of late Xmas or (as someone cleverly put it recently -- R6Mas) announcements and urging people to show up to the orgs for New Years celebrations reg events. Generic Please Come   CC has a DJ and Dancing   Angels? More implants from the R6 bank according to L. Ron Hubbard   Melbourne for Brisbane Because Brisbane can't do it for themselves...   You are not mortal BUT, we will sell you your "eternity" P   This lady is going to tell you how to get up the Bridge Make a LOT of money, … [Read more...]

  Join us lighting the Menorah Why?   It's a holiday party And the part they are not saying: they will be pressuring you to join staff and if you won't do that, hand over cash. It's the scientology way -- "Celebrate Christmas with us, it's a time of giving. You give to us."   This is a lot of stuff... How come ONLY the orgs that are "next to go ideal" seem to put on these endless events? And why does graduation always feature something other than graduates (spoiler: they don't have any)... The "Christmas Open House" is going to feature "LRH stories" … [Read more...]

    What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program.   Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on?   A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts...   Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend...   The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this?   Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [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...]

    Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything.   The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country?   What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money.   The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there...   Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why?   Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]

  These are the "top" scientology orgs... Wow, if Joburg is way up there, and Silicon Valley, OMG things are even worse than I had thought. They are both completely and utterly empty...   We are gearing up... A guy on his Method 1 is their Technical Team? They are going to be gearing up for a LOOONG time.   There are 77 neighborhoods in Chicago So, that means you should join staff. Wonder if they know Baskin Robbins has 43 flavors? That should be good for some signups too. And did you realize Chicago has TWO MLB teams? Everyone should sign up on that … [Read more...]

  How very appropriate Enter the world of Alice in Wonderland. Yes, it's OPEN!   Not funny, sad I have not had the opportunity to read the decision. The activities of scientology are NOT beneficial to the public at large. They are only photo ops.   AOSH Africa Busting open the bottom of the Bridge I wonder if Joburg or Joburg North or Pretoria (all 3 of them "ideal" orgs) have ANY customers?   They don't have certs any more? Just cheesy signs they hold up...   In true Chicago style... Half a dozen, tired old people sitting … [Read more...]

  The Time is Now! Of course, it ALWAYS is. Until tomorrow, when there is something better....     How can it be more? Last week was "everything you ever wanted"?   It's really easy... Except for people who have access to the internet.   Wonder if this is legal? In most states gambling is restricted     Why is this Russian? Barcelona only delivers to Russians?   It's the next big thing Re-do your Purif and SRD. Why? Because you can...   Big Think? Ya think? None of these pix … [Read more...]
