Thanksgiving Funnies

November 25, 2021 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. Thank you. No Thank you. No, thank you... But in the end it's only Ron that matters.   Eradicate the Reactive Mind I've got a faster, better, cheaper idea. Don't buy into the idea in the first place. In the end, they coax you into believing you created it in the first place.   Holiday Escape Rooms? They lock you in a room with a reg and see if you can get out without going bankrupt?   Big News You can bet it has something to do with you giving them your money for their holidays. That is always … [Read more...]

More Ideal Org Fail Proof

September 2, 2018 By Mike Rinder 81 Comments

The Colorado Rockies parking lot that doubles as an "ideal" scientology org in Denver has just sent out an exclamation-laced update announcing the amazing news that they had 19 people on service IN A MONTH (July)! And you can bet most of them were on "Basics" courses, Student Hat and Purif. Remember, this "ideal" org, like all the others, is supposed to accommodate 200 students IN THE ACADEMY and has 40 auditing rooms and is supposed to be servicing 300 - 500 people in Division 6 each week. But more than 6 YEARS after being announced as "ideal", they have seen so few people (other … [Read more...]

The “Exact Person” Behind the “Entire Drug Epidemic”

July 14, 2018 By Mike Rinder 89 Comments

More bizarre news from Denver via IAS Freedom Medal winner Meghan Fialkoff. While Denver HCO are busy trying to ferret out whether anyone in their field is NOT disaffected, they had some pretty remarkable news (though you have to wonder if there was anyone there to hear it). Apparently, like L. Ron Hubbard announcing the exact 12 men on planet earth who were trying to stop scientology, it seems Meghan Fialkoff has found THE PERSON responsible for the "entire drug epidemic and drug pushing" in this country. This has got to be a powerful dude. Anyone who attended this event, I would … [Read more...]

More Denver in Distress

July 8, 2018 By Mike Rinder 156 Comments

Here is the "Interrogatory" that preceded the "HCO Summons"... This is pretty revealing. Not attending events "expected of Scientologists." Appearing to drink excessively? Failing in some area of life, "yet do not seek Ethics help"? "Scientologists who are not participating" or "helping OTC"? Can you imagine the state of this "org" that this is what they are devoting their time to? The moral police. Not resembling much the oft-proclaimed “what is true for you is true” and “you don’t have to believe anything in scientology” and “think for yourself”... They clearly have … [Read more...]

Denver “Ideal” Org – The Lie of “Expansion”

January 23, 2017 By Mike Rinder 135 Comments

Here is the REAL story about an "Ideal Org." These buildings are what scientology inform the world is "proof" of their massive international expansion. The hype is that "ideal orgs" "expand 10X". They are STILL circulating this poster. Denver had its ribbon yanked in 2012. Nearly 5 YEARS ago now. Miscavige claims that THIS is the strategy to make all orgs the size of old St Hill. First they have to be made "ideal." And then their "straight up and vertical" "10X" expansion begins. And they never look back. Oops -- Denver just let the cat out of the bag. Five years later, … [Read more...]

The Denver Idealish Org Fail

August 27, 2016 By Mike Rinder 82 Comments

  Here is an interesting item sent in by a special correspondent. One of our favorite "ideal" orgs is the Colorado Rockies overflow parking lot in Denver. They continue to hold regular IAS "briefings" there, though it is a wonder they can cover the airfare it costs to get there. It is touted by Miscavige and his PR minions as one of the "50 ideal orgs that PROVE the massive international expansion of scientology under the brilliant leadership of Mr. David Miscavige." Everyone inside the bubble is pretending this (and all the rest of idealish orgs) is a functioning, ongoing, … [Read more...]

Pasadena Is Going To Do It This Time. Really.

June 21, 2016 By Mike Rinder 82 Comments

After years of promises, now we know: in 6 weeks Pasadena IS going to be "SH Size". Remember when they had the Sea Org Mission "making them SH Size"? It was about 6 months ago. Fizzled. Remember when they opened the "Ideal Org" in 2010. Nothing. Even with their "ideal org" 6 years later they are still not SH Size. How can that be? L.Ron Hubbard said in the original birthday game that announced "SH Size" as a target that it only took a matter of weeks to accomplish. That they just wanted a big booming org and they got one. In 2003 Miscavige said the "why" for orgs not making it to SH … [Read more...]

Las Vegas Redux Plus Bonus

June 6, 2014 By Mike Rinder 83 Comments

I had put up an earlier report showing the Las Vegas org parking lot with ONE car taken at 7pm on Saturday.  That seemed a bit unfair as orgs shut their doors at 6pm on Saturday apparently and you couldn't expect anyone to be there "after hours" just because they like the place. So, I asked if someone could swing by and take some new shots during the week and during peak production hours. Special Correspondent Mark Fisher obliged and sent in these photos as well as a good write up to put this in perspective. Mark Fisher is an old time management person -- a trained evaluator, in fact he … [Read more...]

Watch #TheDeepEnd on Hulu. Fascinating 4 part doc study of cult leader @_tealswan by Jon Kasbe and @BitsSola. Also listen to interview by @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames on @alittlebitculty podcast. Cult leaders are all cut from the same cloth. My take: https://www.mikerindersblog.org/off-the-deep-end/

Because everyone is currently in love with Tom cruise again due to maverick and have conveniently forgotten he’s a weird little carnival barker for a dangerous cult, here’s your reminder to check out #ScientologyTheAftermath on Netflix!
