Now that Leah Remini is officially a Special Person (see Tony Ortega's blog this morning), the big question becomes whether Miscavige is going to attempt to enforce the oft-employed disconnection card with Jennifer Lopez. Everyone knows JLo and Leah are BFFs. They were hanging at JLo's party last nite and featured on the People Mag site (and everywhere else). It is also common knowledge that JLo's father is a Scientologist. So, what is the guy who proclaims to be the enforcer of "standard tech" to do? Would eh dare risk trying to force J Lo to choose between her dad and Leah? She IS after … [Read more...]
Message From A Field Auditor — GAG II is Like Waterloo
One of our Special Correspondents sent in this report: It's all true. Following is an excerpt of a message I received from a Field Auditor. He has one of the biggest field auditing groups in our area. He is OT VIII who remains with the Church because of his family of Kool Aid drinkers. But maybe this will change the scene. "They have revived the Survival RD and the BTB about short grades and said that they really were from LRH. "Everything needs to be redone from Student Hat. You have to do it once and then M4 and then once more. Then Pro Trs because they say Clay Table Processes … [Read more...]
What a Coincidence? Busted.
A Special Correspondent sent this in. Hilarie Rockl was formerly the DSA Vancouver and before that the CO OSA Canada. Now they are public still trying to "get in good standing with COB." No idea who Colleen Weinstein is. Setting up public with pre-written "personal emails" smells of desperation. Big time. Just received this message from Ray and Hilarie Rockl of Vancouver OT Committee. As I read it, it became hauntingly familiar. A friend had just forwarded me a message sent to Seattle Scientologists from Colleen Weinstein. What a freaky coincidence that their seemingly personal messa … [Read more...]
The Warehouse VIII
Here is the first promo for the Warehouse Mark VIII. Funny that something that has sat in a warehouse for 9 years is presented as "the future has arrived"... The over the top claims are as ridiculous as they sound. This is an E-Meter with the cutting-edge technology to take you up the Bridge to Clear and OT with astounding speed and unprecedented certainty. This is why they sat, unreleased, for nearly a decade. Because Miscavige couldnt get an event together where He would be able to SELL ENOUGH. Speed and certainty of auditing played NO role in this. Otherwise they would have been … [Read more...]
Class V Price List (“Donations” When You Want Them Back)
This is a partial list of the new GAG prices for services in a US Class V org. I don't have a recent price list, so don't know how these numbers compare to pre-GAG prices. It appears there has been an effort to simplify things. Probably because Miscavige is convinced there are rip-offs occurring because it is too confusing and there are too many possible discounts and packages. You can be pretty sure that even if these prices appear to be LESS than pre-GAG prices they are in fact MORE than what was ACTUALLY being paid on average in Class V orgs through manipulation of discounts and … [Read more...]
A Man Walked Into A Church of Scientology….
This is the story of what happened to someone who went into the New York "Ideal Org" this week. Not only was the place empty, he found out where they are getting "Sea Org recruits" from these days.... Captain Miscavige should be mighty proud of this, one of his most important "Ideal Orgs" (most important because Tom Cruise has an apartment in NY City, so might need to come in for something someday....) Hey Mr. Rinder, This past Monday, I visited the Times Square Church of Scientology org which is located near the Paramount Hotel on West 46th Street in Midtown Manhattan. I went in … [Read more...]
Miscavige’s Golden Age “Ridge On The Bridge”
Captain Miscavige seems to have steered His sinking ship head on into another iceberg. In his clamor to get everyone to pay again to redo everything they have already done, He has blockaded the routes up the Bridge AND finally euthanized any remaining Field Auditors who survived GAT. A Special Correspondent has just sent in this report from a tech terminal in CMO LATAM. Apparently the price changes on training in Mexico are overwhelming. They only discussed training data and all figures here are in US Dollars. The Student Hat currently costs about $200. After the event on Friday, the c … [Read more...]
Scientology — The Art of Cognitive Dissonance
Somewhat random thoughts after returning from an out-of-town trip. Cognitive dissonance has reached an art form within the walls of the RCS bubble. Cognitive dissonance is described this way: Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information … [Read more...]
Günther Völler Writes To Captain Miscavige
To Mr. David Miscavige COB RTC ----------------------------------- Günther Völler Public Scientologist 13 November 2013 My name is Günther Völler. I became a member of the Church of Scientology in 1987 at Bern Org, later at Zurich Org, Switzerland. From the very first moment, I developed an intense interest in reading, studying, learning and applying the teachings of Mr. L. Ron Hubbard. I wanted to go up The Bridge, and I wanted to help others do so as well. Throughout the years, I have taken many courses and … [Read more...]
Update From Inside The Bubble
A new update from inside the bubble from a Special Correspondent. Tours Tours started right away after the ribbon was cut. Tours started every 10 minutes in groups of 75. It was very hot outside under the sun and many people just left instead of waiting around for a tour. It took many Cornerstone members at least an hour to start the tour, and they had priority. Each tour lasted 2 hours. Needless to say, this did not work well for most people. "There were four news helicopters circling" None of the public on the ground knew anything was amiss. They though the media was just rea … [Read more...]
