This is "All New" because "The Time Is Now" Sounds like the same old, same old to me... I would love to know what is "all new" about this? "We just pronounced it all new, so it is"? Sort of like the 25 anniversary of the Freewinds? And I would love to hear how GAT II has made building ideal orgs faster and more certain than ever! Must be why Orlando, Boston and Santa Barbara have taken off like rockets, heading for Target Two... Seems a little contradictory that ONLY an ideal org can properly deliver GAT II? Keep Those Cards and Letters Coming Some truly bizarre re … [Read more...]
CSRT Staff Report Directly To Miscavige Daily
This just in. A new begging email from Sheryle Festa trying to pitch the "L. Ron Hubbard Hall" as something urgent for planetary clearing. Or something. I am going to compile a posting about the L. Ron Hubbard Hall boondoggle at some point, but I just wanted quickly get this one out as it contains a remarkable bit of honesty. Chairman of the Board is over this project -- there are no vias -- there is no via between the Staff of CSRT and Chairman of the Board. He is overseeing every detail. Each day CSRT Staff report directly to Chairman of the Board. They are Commodore Messengers of the … [Read more...]
Orlando Magic
No wonder the "ideal org" in Orlando never gets mentioned even though it is BY FAR the closest org to Flag and Tampa -- both of whom are busily trying to raise funds for Miami and Atlanta. This is Orlando's "ideal org" website, last updated sometime in 2011, though they seem to have an automatic counter that adds a day from "Ideal Orgs Seminar 2011." They got a "building approved" -- hooray for us! An instant "ideal org" -- plucked right out of a hat. Amazing. It truly represents Miscavige's ideal org tag-line "just add water and mix." It looks … [Read more...]
The Flag World Tour Is Cominng(sic)
This probably should have been saved for the Thursday Funnies as it is so ridiculous. But then again, most promotional items that emanate from corporate scientology qualify for the "funny pages." The latest gimmick in their desperation to even get people to tell them they are coming: confirm your attendance, you will receive a free bookmark! Hurry, get in before the RUSH, while supplies last. And the "pitch" is really convincing "to make email confirmation more popular and convenient for you" -- ha. Anyone that believes this is for the benefit of the target sheeple deserves to go to t … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Just to kick things off -- here is a recent Facebook posting about the newly formed Clearwater Postulate Guild (I kid you not): I really think these people need to touch bases with reality. But they had better be careful what they are "postulating" for as a Clearwater government that was "uptone" (ie not in fear) and made sane decisions vis a vis the church may not be to the liking of the "OT's" and their Postulate Guild. Before they start clearing anything down under, maybe they should start by clearing their MUs? Or at least getting an ideal spell checker. They didn't … [Read more...]
Flag and Tampa OTC Minutes
The leak plugging efforts just don't seem to be working. They even have a full time person in OSA Flag assigned to get to the bottom of this situation. But the OTC Minutes just keep rolling in. And though they have taken out a lot of embarrassing statistical specifics, they still have what should be embarrassing details (I think most of these people are oblivious to how ridiculous they are). Part of the problem is that they can turn ANYTHING into good news and "huge impact" so they THINK they are relaying good news. The delusion is a sight to behold. They remind me of the proverbial fleas … [Read more...]
Hear Ye Hear Ye, “Good News” From Flag
This week's "good news." (Well, it's a bit old, preempted by other more important news). Thing are not getting any better at Flag. Their completions are in the same range for months on end. By now one would have expected to see some evidence of the masses "pouring up the Bridge" -- it has been 9 months since the release of GAG II and opening of Miscavige's Folly. But they pump out the "good news," telling the world they are going nowhere. I guess these days, anything that isn't another expose in the media or lawsuit being filed is fantastic news. And if it is shouted from the … [Read more...]
Money, Power, Servitude
This new book is a must read for anyone interested in scientology and what goes on inside the church. Peter Bonyai recounts his experiences from the day he first walked into a mission in Pecs, Hungary through his life in the Sea Org and ultimately to his departure 10 years later. I helped Peter by editing the english translation (he wrote it in his native tongue and translated it himself). I found the book fascinating and compelling. Peter has a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing ability to analyze both the insanity of what he experienced and his internal responses and thoughts, … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Please, please, please come in. Pretty please. They will resort to anything to try and get people to come into their idle morgues.... Really? The Wobble. Cupid Shuffle. Teaching poker "moves"? Just like Ron says. Scientology v. Dudeism A Special Correspondent sent this in to me, she thought it was amusing, and so do I. Anyone who has ever seen The Big Lebowski will get the joke, but whether you have or haven't, the comparison to the scientology facebook page is pretty funny. Let's not forget church of scientology is on the "cutting edge of internet dissemination" … [Read more...]
Flag OTC Minutes And New Program
Well, the "minutes" have become virtually useless. With no information included, they are certainly not going to inspire anyone into action... I let a few stack up and if I don't have anything urgent I publish them just for the sake of having a record. And letting OSA know that their efforts to prevent these from falling into the "wrong hands" are not going so well. Don't forget, this is the FLAG OTC -- the biggest and baddest of them all. And they have absolutely NOTHING to say other than announce a few completions (Student Hat? Objectives?) and some vague … [Read more...]
