Here is one of those LRH quotes the church sends out without apparently even reading what it says. Whether you or I find this quote credible, there is no question that the person who sent it out from New Era, and any scientologist who received it, accepts this as gospel truth. That being the case, one has to wonder whether they read this: ...if you see an impulse on the part of a human being to control you, you know very well that that human being is lying to you. Not is just going to—is lying to you. Check up the facts, you'll find out they're always true; that person is trying to c … [Read more...]

Here is a new paid press release from scientology in Clearwater. They are trying to make people think everyone is welcome to come on down to the Ft Harrison and hold their event under the grandeur of the Bohemian crystal chandelier. Anyone, unless it is someone that espouses an idea the church disagrees with -- despite its repeated claims to champion free speech. And any group that chooses to do an event there had better realize they will be used as PR fodder -- scientology promoting their presence as if it means a full endorsement of the church. But perhaps the most remarkable … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Human Rights? None of these guest speakers have any idea of scientology's deplorable history of human rights abuses. Betcha this invite would be withdrawn in a big hurry if you chose to speak about that... Fight for kids... How about fighting for kids not be disconnected from other family members? That would be fun. Michael Chan can revive the dead The St Pete Life Improvement Center has not been seen nor heard from for YEARS. Bet the turnout was YUGE... The Truth? Michael Chan will try to get every dollar … [Read more...]
Training For The Future
Following the recent post Scientology and “The Mechanism of Death” comes this, the Hubbard/scientology idea that training is "for eternity." As an added point of interest, Jessica Pantermuehl is one of Jenna Miscavige's cousins, who has of course long since disconnected from her and her mother Bitty -- Jessica's aunt. And though she no doubt knows how to confront and shatter suppressives she has not taken the opportunity to pop down to San Diego to visit her cousin and aunt (see Ron Miscavige post from yesterday). L. Ron Hubbard made the "training is for eternity" pitch many times. In fa … [Read more...]
The Unreal World of Scientology
Below is a recent email from one of the unfortunate SO members in PAC. The delusion is amazing -- promoting an entirely new era of EXPANSION and WINS at a whole new order of magnitude. And for this reason, they are re-showing the 1993 IAS event. That makes a lot of sense. The real reason the "War Is Over" event is being re-shown is because Miscavige believes it shores up his reputation with scientologists. In his mind, this is his finest hour. It shows him in the best light and confirms for all the sheeple that they can thank him, and him alone, for the survival of scientology and the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Monday Service? It takes all the dynamics to make a freedom... Huh? This is THE BEST... Central Files Team.... All 6 of them in this, the largest ideal org on earth. Consummate Con Man The REAL tech he learned to "help others" was Big League Sales.... This is Expansion? A rehash of Atlanta. A tiny Auditor's Day event in Pasadena for the entire LA area and a replay of the 1993 IAS event? Confirm Now. Who would want to miss this. Miscavige is feeling the hurt This tired old event gets rolled out whenever he … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Fail: London
Here is further proof of the total fail that is the ideal org program. This is one of the very first ideal orgs. 2004 if I recall correctly. The premises were procured at enormous expense and the old London Org, which had been at Tottenham Court Rd forever, was converted into a "Test Center" and Div 6 feeder for the main org that was moved to a deserted street right near St Paul's cathedral. The "CC London" was closed down and combined with this magnificent new org that was the answer to clearing not just London, but entirety of England, in fact the whole of the United Kingdom. And … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Someone commented last week that this would be the 100th edition of Thursday Funnies.... And I think that is correct based on the numbering of the link. \ Quite a centenary. And we have a lot of funnies for today. It must be noted that these weekly funnies would not be possible without the support of many who forward the information to me each week. Tampa Has No Speakers How bizarre - this org is nearly "double SH Size" and they don't have anyone to deliver a Tone Scale lecture other than importing a mercenary blood sucker. More strange quotes... Many scientologists … [Read more...]
More Ideal Fail: Phoenix…
This is the state of the Phoenix "ideal" org. The have put out a "Big announcement." Might even be epic. Milestone. Unprecedented. TWO people "graduated" something this week. Likely they finished reading a book. Yes, TWO. And it is such big news they sent out a promotional piece for it. Now THAT'S massive international, straight up and vertical, 63X expansion. ...and Twin Cities Just in case anyone still had doubts that perhaps Phoenix was just out of step with the rest of the straight up and vertical ideal org expansion, there is this from Twin … [Read more...]
A Lone VM Answers The Call
Once again, Scientology's own "PR" exposes the embarrassing truth about the scientology world. Though they repeatedly boast having "the largest private relief force on earth" (or some variation of this) that attend every major disaster, somehow apart from the photo ops the church puts out, nobody else in the world seems to know anything about them or notice their presence. That is because they are far from being a "force." They are a ragtag collection of people who are rounded up, persuaded to pay their own way to a disaster site, given a t-shirt and expected to pose for … [Read more...]
