Thursday Funnies

October 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

    Free Ice Cream Apparently George is George is a whale who supports this mission. He is like the Good Humor Man...     Really not looking good... Bobby Wiggins is sadly not much of an advertisement for "OT VII Super Power Completion"   This their plaque? They can't even get the first name right?   Such a terrible lie And they put it out every year around this time. Seriously? Now that's an offer you can't refuse...       Worst photoshop ever Looks like a cardboard cutout pasted onto the … [Read more...]

Another Aftermath Foundation Success

February 24, 2019 By Mike Rinder 114 Comments

I mentioned recently that we would have a write up from one of latest people helped by the The Aftermath Foundation. Here it is. With some interesting insight into the reality of the latest "ideal org" demonstrating the massive international expansion of scientology.   I was introduced to the world of Scientology in June of 2012 when I traveled from Utah to Michigan to do the Narconon program at the "Freedom Center" in Albion. After completing the program I was recruited to remain at the Narconon center as a staff member, which is a common practice at Narconon. I was a withdrawal … [Read more...]

Empty Buildings, Empty Promises

January 13, 2019 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

The saga of empty "ideal" orgs continues. Miscavige shows up to yank his ribbon, they import people from out of town to make a "crowd" -- always inflated by a factor of at least 5 -- they take photos and video and then the circus leaves and things settle back into the normal void on nothingness it always was. Except the few footsteps echo in large, deserted marble halls now, instead of the moldy carpets of an old strip mall. Desperate to get anyone to come into their empty palace, they start promoting for people to hold "events and functions" -- because they don't know what else to do … [Read more...]

Detroit Ideal Org Fail

December 22, 2018 By Mike Rinder 56 Comments

Ok, this is an “ideal” org.  According to scientology this means instant “10x expansion.” This is the promotional piece they put together to let everyone know what a great job they are doing. Notice anything missing? The biggest crowd they can apparently manage is 10 people in the chapel -- staff and public combined. And always great to see a kid looking at the pictures of the fake people in the org mag... This is the REAL result of the ideal org program. Same people. More real estate holding. … [Read more...]

Miscavige Ribbon Yanking Shrinkage

October 22, 2018 By Mike Rinder 53 Comments

With no fanfare or pre-announcement (scared of being arrested perhaps?), David Miscavige, the True Leader of scientology snuck into Stuttgart and yanked his ribbon. A month ago. He made a quick in and out dash into the danger zone of the Federal Republic of Germany. What is most remarkable is that they managed to get anyone at all to speak on a podium at a scientology event in Germany -- but the "dignitaries" were less than stellar, though they did present a problem in that three of them were quite tall.  Even with a forced perspective shot of his standing in front of them, size was … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

October 11, 2018 By Mike Rinder 85 Comments

  Hey Phoenix... Rather than worrying about Albuquerque and raising money for them, why don't you do something about your completely empty ideal org right there?     Hey UCNH... You going to invite the survivors of violence at the hands of scientology? That would fill your venue... You do know who you are getting into bed with I assume? And just don’t care?     International Speakers? But they have no name?     Heading rapidly towards St Hill Size Of course they are. They've been slacking off since they became … [Read more...]

More Ideal Org Idiocy

June 4, 2018 By Mike Rinder 92 Comments

  Some of the claims made about Ideal Orgs defy belief. Even for a cynical bitter defrocked apostate on the fringes of the internet. This is the latest fundraising pitch for the Detroit ideal org. Detroit org has been there for half a century (perhaps more?) and it has created absolutely NO impact. They admit nobody in Detroit even knows what scientology is. They probably know the word and the information from the internet and The Aftermath and Going Clear -- but in the minds of scientologists that means they don't know what scientology REALLY is. They are only aware of the … [Read more...]

You learn about what they've tried to do to me on @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder's podcast.

We talked about some of it in the interview.

But I don't care...Scientology is a paper tiger.

@yashar This whole week, I’ve been wondering how many people Scientology has following you in the streets or working to hack you. I know the answer isn’t zero. I don’t recall ever thinking that about someone speaking out against the Catholic Church.

What do you want to know about #scientology? @LeahRemini and I are planning more Listener Questions on our #FairGamePodcast.

What does #scientology really think about God —right from the horse’s mouth. It’s not what they try to tell the world in order to seem normal. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-vs-god/
