Seriously Jeff, you are getting excited about this? 21 Super Power Completions (and remember, this is the "surge" of people who paid for this over the past 20 years in order to be first in line). At 20 per week (providing it stays at this artificially inflated level) it will take a year to complete 1000 people. 12 years to complete everyone in the Tampa Bay area and 10,000 years to complete all the Scientologists on earth. Oh, wait a minute, these are just your phony numbers because if they were real you could not be excited about that as its like being excited about having invested in a … [Read more...]
Ireland — Miscavige’s Lies Just Won’t Go Away
Some recent media from Ireland. Still reaping the rewards of making up stories to tell the faithful about how wonderful things are "over there" (everywhere except where you are).... I bet Dear Leader just loves having his photo in articles like this all over the world. And particularly enjoys being identified as worldwide leader of a cult. Not exactly the positioning he is shooting for. He's got "Pope" in HIS mind, not David Koresh. Perhaps you should stop telling lies Dave? Nobody is going to bother with stories like this if you don't give them something to write about. If you have … [Read more...]
Solve It With Scientology
A lesson from the rewritten history of the Church of Scientology. Truly a blast from the past and a sort of time capsule into how things were 25 years ago before the Vulture Culture became the order of the day. People talk about the "good old days." Others sometimes comment that there were no "good old days" because everything was always bad because everything sprang from the evil mind of L. Ron Hubbard. Well, this makes for interesting reading, as it is evidence that at least one thing about the church really HAS changed dramatically, and it is not because of what LRH wrote. Back in the 7 … [Read more...]
Sydney Grand Opening
Captain Kangaroo must have cleared his schedule to make hisself available for the adoring smaller than expected crowds for the great day in Sydney. (Though they are not promoting He will be in attendance overtly yet, there are probably strict instructions not to let the SP's know, and OMG don't tell Bryan Seymour and Steve Cannane... what if THEY show up wanting an interview?) After promising February, then March, then silence, they are now scheduling the big day for early May. That should give Him enough time to get a video put together for the Maiden Voyage Scuba Diving Cruise. Doubt that … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Fundraising
I think this guy may already have attended Laurie Websters special course on how to fundraise (as opposed to reg). His letter is chockablock with cookie-cutter "save the whales/children/environment/old people" fundraising promotion that appears to have been taken from some sort of fill-in-your-name-here text. If you cannot be bothered reading the whole thing, at least go to the last page. If you just want to see some of the highlights, look at the sections circled in red.... And just as a note, the furniture they are to purchase is dictated to them. They are not making "bulk purchases" -- … [Read more...]
OC GAG II Students Not Even Close
How is it possible that 4 MONTHS after the release of GAG II and its super, incredibly fast training line-up, the IDEAL ORG in Orange County the MOST ADVANCED auditor trainee on the GAG II line-up is on PRO TR's? Maybe GAG II isn't all it's cracked up to be? Surely D/Source for Lost Tech didn't misrepresent his wondrous breakthroughs? Or maybe Orange County only has ONE person on auditor training? Or maybe Orange County only started their first person on GAG II auditor training a month ago? Whatever the reason -- this is more proof that GAG II is not solving anything and the … [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...]
