Thursday Funnies

October 31, 2019 By Mike Rinder 40 Comments

    JAW at it again? "Superfan" John Alex Wood elicited a "Fuck scientology" from Eric Idle. Perhaps the Pythons will have something to say about this?   Well, not sure about best... But certainly poorest.   How sad... His life was a mess. So he moved his family to Columbus to join staff. No doubt with promises of a place to say and good pay. Expect he will reach out to the Aftermath Foundation in about 6 weeks...   Wow, what an honor This is actually a thing?   Erm, what about "Done Sir"? That was last month. All … [Read more...]

An “Ideal” and “St Hill Size” Org Struts Its Stuff

June 19, 2019 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

Presented personally by Mr. David Miscavige with both "Ideal Org'" AND "St Hill Size" status, Joburg org epitomizes the pinnacle of scientology organizations on earth (not counting the artificially inflated Tampa Org that is home to the many Flag rejects and people trying to avoid Flag registrars). And here we see what they are so proud of:  2 Clears in one week and one person “flying through his training” — apparently they didn’t have a single course completion to announce in the same week as the 2 Clears. This is the best. of the best. And compared to other scientology orgs, it is.  … [Read more...]

Maiden Voyage Shrinkage

June 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 117 Comments

  There is a lot of shrinkage in scientology these days, and now Maiden Voyage is added to the list. (Yes I know the graph is meaningless, it’s how scientology always presents their “expansion” so it seemed appropriate...) For decades there have been 5 main events and a Seminar for every Maiden Voyage: "Opening Night" -- a summary of the "accomplishments" of the "OT Ambassadors" "Org Night" -- an update on Ideal Orgs "Source Night" -- the Sherminator with a veritable avalanche of hagiographic mumblings "Special Night" -- either something from Author Services or CST or … [Read more...]

Everything is INCREDIBLE and ON FIRE We are fundraising for our construction documents... Woohooo. And the AO Africa is opening (maybe -- been promising that white elephant for a decade now). And that is important because?   This is Durban Ideal Org! Not really. It's a hospital where they provide blood transfusions for those who have been sucked dry by the regges...   Great news 5 people finished something! With the Howarth's leading the way. One Clear. Likely the only one this year...   Join staff now We have the greatest rugby team on the … [Read more...]

  Hi, give me your money Just wanted to make sure you knew that is what I am here for.   Off the crossroads of the world? That's good? I thought you wanted to clear the world? That's the Freewinds line... Though they spend most of their time tied to a dock.   Yep, IMpossible You had it right   Not really... You haven't reached .001% of these people in all your years of existence.   Where will your name be? Perhaps left off the list like so many others who gave and gave and then were declared. No money back. No name on any … [Read more...]

Scientology Hype

June 18, 2018 By Mike Rinder 155 Comments

It's Maiden Voyage season again -- "A celebration so spectacular it will take your breath away" -- and the hype-o-meter is peaking. Actually, it's that time of year David Miscavige makes a scuba diving trip to the Caribbean and "the elite" (used to be OT VIII's only, but there are no longer enough of them with enough money to fill the ship) are told to attend to listen to 4 events "up close and personal." Each year it is the same pattern. They start with an event recognizing the "amazing work" of the "OT Ambassadors" doing crazy fundraising events, along with some false stats they … [Read more...]

Scientology Events

March 7, 2018 By Mike Rinder 114 Comments

They are really getting desperate for people to show up at events. Now they are using something Hubbard said in 1957 about Congresses as if it is somehow speaking about "Int Events." Two things: 1. Int events are NOT Congresses. Nothing like a Congress in fact. 2. I guess whoever sent out this promotional piece is unaware that Hubbard CANCELLED Congresses, stating they "crashed stats" as everyone went off into preparing for, calling in and attending the Congresses and they forgot about training and auditing. As Hubbard would say, they were canceled with an atomic branding … [Read more...]

Flag OTC Minutes

February 11, 2018 By Mike Rinder 107 Comments

Some epic news hot off the press from the mighty Flag OT Committee...   Fundraising, fundraising and more fundraising. Orlando NOW has 35 staff. Wow! And they are "doing very well on recruiting."  Once again, scientology discloses the fact they are spending tens of millions of dollars for a building for people that do not exist. 35 staff (and you can bet this figure is bs as EVERY figure ever presented by scientology is ALWAYS bs) is supposed to be the size of a Mission. They have another 165 staff to go to be SH size and a real "ideal org." They're not even 20% of the way … [Read more...]

The Shrinking World of Scientology

February 1, 2018 By Mike Rinder 141 Comments

It is hard to imagine 10 or 20 years ago that the March 13th event in LA would NOT be held in the Shrine Auditorium. It was one of the BIG events that was always held in a big venue. Back in the day, there were also big events for Auditor's Day and May 9th held at the Shrine Auditorium. The Auditor's Day event was first to go. It was too close to the IAS event and too soon after the Maiden Voyage -- AND it was not a big money-maker and celebrating auditors was not high on Miscavige's priority list. First Dear Leader stopped attending, then it became a "local" event (ie no central … [Read more...]

Leah Remini and Mike Rinder share their outrage over the news that Scientology is going to try to repeat its defeat of the 2013 Garcia case by forcing the Danny Masterson accusers to drop their lawsuit and submit to the church's internal kangaroo court.

Opening position for Clearwater's negotiations with David Miscavige should be for Miscavige to show he wants a thriving downtown by a) recruiting a theater chain and b) stopping Disconnection. One brings a major draw to the district. Other shows they can change.
