These emails get stranger and stranger. Don't these people ever notice the contradictions in their statements? Call on me, so that I can help you convert that money into something really valuable and long-lasting... Well, if money is invaluable, then why is it that you are grubbing for it always? And why won't you accept anything OTHER than money before a service is delivered? But that isn't the real point. It is the "success story" that is included that is REALLY bizarre. Talk about unicorns and rainbows. “I had become almost instantly extremely sane and I dare s … [Read more...]
GAT II for Solo NOTs Is Coming!
What could be more exciting than hearing you have to start Solo NOTs all over again because you didn't have "all the tech, just like LRH wanted you to have..."???? This invitation arrived first... Come one, come all on Saturday the 17th in the FH Ballroom (must be REALLY important -- in the Ballroom? With the "Senior CS" not even the "RTC Rep" let alone Dear Leader...) Then this one arrived. Now it's on Monday in the "Boardroom"? Must be expecting a huge crowd... A fleecing we will go, a fleecing we will go, hi ho the derry-o a fleecing we will go. How … [Read more...]
New OT IX & X Are Closer Than You Think
Remember when the prerequisite for OT IX and X was that you had to be a Class VI auditor and all specialist auditor training courses? And thus the OT VIII's were all being hammered to get on auditor training.... Could not do that these days, as there is no Briefing Course. Of course, like most of what happens in the church of scientology today -- this is a moving goalpost. The prereqs are whatever thing Miscavige is pushing as his latest fad. After Class VI the "prerequisites" became that they had to do the Basics to be allowed onto OT IX and X. And then the Congresses and ACCs were a … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Epic event What other kind is there? And the easy answer to the question it poses is: very little, if anything. Many apply, few are chosen Oh, how they wish that were true. They practically beg to get anyone to join staff and now they are offering them full time training (tsk tsk, totally off policy) Champion team Not so much. 15 years later and Kansas City isn't even close to getting an ideal org, even though a building was purchased there about 10 years ago I think... Special Announcement Absolutely anything to make it sound "new" -- … [Read more...]
More Lies From Flag
Here are the latest batch of lies put forth by "Flag." Not just the "Mecca of Technical Perfection" and the "Friendliest Place on Earth" but "Global Vulture HQ." Interestingly, they being with a likely true statement. In all of 2014 they managed to make 393 OT VII's. Highest Ever! And at that rate, even making it to the 30 year old target of 10,000 is 7 years away. But wait, things are going MUCH better this year, averaging 10 completions "every single week." Unfortunately, I keep track of the drivel that Barbara Dews and Jeff Mintz send out and the average of OT VII Comps per week is … [Read more...]
Cause Over Matter, Energy, Space, Time, Force, Form, Location and Life
Nothing over the top here. And yet people will tell you that L. Ron Hubbard DIDN'T make absolute claims about OT and scientology doesnt make promises to achieve unrealistic things and that scientology doesn't falsely represent itself... Of course, there is always wiggle room - this statement means some "future" OT level is where it's going to be achieved -- even though those future OT levels don't exist. It was all supposed to be "OT VIII" and the release was delayed from 1970 because it was so powerful... But, nevertheless, this IS the pitch the church uses. It's why it is the quote … [Read more...]

Fred Harris Back From The Grave
A point of minor interest. Fred Harris was the original "Flag World Tour" team with Barry Watson in 1975/6. He then made his way to ASI and to Int where he was LRH PPRO Int for a while and GI Exec Int and various other posts. He also blew the Sea Org at least 3 times, only to be recovered. If you read Peter Bonyai's excellent book Money, Power, Servitude you will see he was also the person sent to stat-push Budapest Org so it could be falsely announced "St Hill Size." Total insanity. I guess they thought he did well, so he has been sent back to Hungary to try and scrape together … [Read more...]
“Successes”
One of the craziest things about scientology is the use of "success stories." These things are a strange mixture of self-affirmation, peer pressure and fear. People write them to accomplish one or all of the following at the completion of a scientology service: a. To ensure they are allowed to complete and be presented with a certificate, they write what they think they are supposed to say b. To affirm for themselves that they have in fact gotten something for the time and money they have invested c. To gain recognition from others for their "wins." In truth, nobody should need … [Read more...]
LRH Monument To Fundraising
Laurie Webster, vampire extraordinaire has continued to haunt those she previously bled dry for the SP Building in the hopes they have a bit more to give. The pitch isn't as dramatic as it was for the SP Building. She can no longer promise that by giving money you would make planetary clearing a reality with the release of Super Power (how is that planetary clearing working out Laurie?). So she has a new pitch to try and get her message heard among the demands for money for the IAS, Ideal Orgs, Planetary Dissemination, Narconon, CCHR, Criminon, book … [Read more...]
