A brief study and dissection of Miscavamatics and Shermanspeak on a public website. The "PR tech" employed for internal public is also being rolled out for external publics. by Special Correspondent Richard Lloyd Roberts I recently stumbled on the website www.therouteout.com via Facebook. Sounding familiar and somewhat Scientology slanted my curiosity was peaked and so I decided to see what The Route Out was. I noticed that some of the likes were of Scientologist's that have not unfriended me yet. Here's the basic premise of the site and some quotes from the site. (Quotes from w … [Read more...]
Looking For A New Body For My Mother On Facebook. Seriously.
Tasia I have a couple of logistical questions. Oh, never mind. Let me just point out a couple of things, putting aside that this is lunatic fringe activity -- and certainly not something to put on Facebook! I am going to be charitable and address this from the most benign Scientological perspective: IF you find some mother willing to go along with this scheme, have you thought through the consequences? Some poor child is going to be raised with an endless stream of evaluation and invalidation because both you and its mother "know" who this baby was in its last life? So every gu … [Read more...]
Flag OTC Annual Report
More from the hushmail fairies. This is the annual report of the Flag OT Committee -- combined with the Tampa OT Committee. As usual, it contains some interesting reading. And it certainly contains proof that the largest, highest trained, most active group of "OT's" are like a pea shooter facing a battleship when it comes to making any sort of impact on society. Not to try to pick apart everything they say, but just a few notes of interest . From reading this, you can see they have gone to school on how to present information -- where there is no news, pick out a tiny example and make it … [Read more...]
The Running Program
Remember, this rundown consists of running around a pole. Nothing more. I wonder what miraculous results would come if D/Source For Lost Tech "discovered" a new rundown that "came from the whole track" -- and it consists of sitting quietly on the floor until you have a realization (sort of like meditation). I can hear the clubbed seals babbling on about the genius of COB and how this was better than any OT level and their entire universe has suddenly aligned and they now have limitless power and theta. Here is a recent over-the-top testimonial from a KoolAid drinker par … [Read more...]
Sunland Mission Stats — RIP
Here are some leaked stats -- sent in by Hushmail of course. This is one of the few remaining Southern California missions. Scientology.org lists 9 in the LA area -- probably they don't all exist, some even state they are only open three days a week from 5:30 to 9. This with 4 Ideal Orgs (including "the model") each "generating massive field activities across all sectors." (We don't count Valley as they are not ideal and therefore can't do anything) Evidence enough of the failure of this "why." You can see from the stats that the brilliant innovations of GAG II have not resulted in any in … [Read more...]
There Are Important Things To Read
My posting this morning is really a lighthearted piece of fluff that has little bearing on anything important. However, there are two other stories that anyone interested in this blog should read. They are actually important. First, go to Tony Ortega's blog and read his very well put together piece about Jillian Schlesinger. A remarkable young woman who walked out of the Sea Org at the HGB only weeks ago. And watch the interviews Karen #1 has done with her and posted on her YouTube channel. (Note, there is a second interview video after this one). Second, read the latest article on the … [Read more...]
The Crazy Stakes
A little light hearted entertainment in the deadly serious business of making money in scientology. You may recall some of the earlier entrants in the Scientology Crazy Stakes -- we have seen some wonderful pieces from David Wilson (who specialized in historical fact vs. fiction parallels) and Mike Smith (who specialized in getting his dates and facts so screwed up nobody had a clue what he was talking about). These two have gone strangely silent, opening the door for some new contenders to step into cage. Today we have a challenger we have not heard from before and something from one of our … [Read more...]
Enforced Disconnection — More Proof
My name is Sydney Osborne. I got in Scientology at the Denver Org in 1989 and was on staff as a sup and Director of Training from 1990-2002. I was on Mace-Kingsley Family Center staff (Scn field group) from 2004-2008 starting in Div 2, and later becoming the OES. I've posted on this blog a few times as XclassVStaff. I've known and worked with a lot of wonderful people in Scientology. The Church of Scientology continues to deny practicing disconnection, states there is no pressure from the church, and that it's voluntary on the part of its parishioners. I'd like to share my own recent … [Read more...]
The Truman Show – Playing At An Ideal Org Near You
Here is the news you have all been waiting for.... The final two weeks of results in the WUS "Ideal Org" Truman Show money grab game. First, the results from the penultimate week: There are some of these orgs that are just not with the program. Remember, this is cumulative for the YEAR. Hawaii has collected 0. Albuquerque $100. St Louis $5000. This might get them a shoebox in the middle of the road (in the immortal words of Monty Python in "Four Yorkshiremen"). So, how did they do to wrap up the year, in the sprint to become the "First Ideal Continent"? (Never mind the ONLY new … [Read more...]
I HELP UK Has Flatlined
Oh wow. The naked truth is really tumbling out of the bubble. Here are the I HELP UK stats. According to them, they are the fourth best continental area -- and they include all the field activities in India and Pakistan. This means there are four continental areas of scientology that are less expanding than they are (not sure how that is possible, but they figured it out I guess) This is worse than I could possibly have imagined. The true state of "straight up and vertical" unprecedented international expansion. Remember, the "Ideal Orgs" are supposed to generate "massive field activity" … [Read more...]
