The South African Scientology field is being treated to some history lessons from some of its most illustrious members. While the church is busily trying to black PR the Joburg 18, they are simply sending out their stories. Anyone with half a brain can read this and the letter from Gaye Corbett and know without a shadow of a doubt "This is no SP, in fact, if someone declared her and her husband they are either insane or a sociopath." Thank you for standing tall Wendy and all the rest of the Joburg 18 and friends. There was an old term "Founding Scientologist" reserved for those who had b … [Read more...]
Counter In-tent-ion Update — The Circus is Coming to Town
Charlie Frago of the Tampa Bay Times has provided a new update on the requirements the church has to meet to satisfy the city for the GAG II/Sooper Power weekend of over-the-top back-patting and self-congratulations that the planet is at last now being cleared by a building. Looks like the city is basically allowing the church to close off Fort Harrison to hold the ribbon cutting. This is good news for all outside observers. Glimpses will be had of the magnificent celebrations, what He has to say will be heard ringing through the streets of Clearwater for believer and non-believers alike, … [Read more...]
Counter In-tent-ion
The Tampa Bay Times is reporting the latest tent problems today, as church spokespuppets Mansell and Heller try to shift the blame to "out-of-town workers" who "don't know the rules." And City Manager Bill Horne says the church is complaining that they don't like the way they are being portrayed.... Oh, let the persecution bleats begin. All the nasty SPs are mischaracterizing their wonderful efforts to spruce up downtown with a huge flappy tent with a big sign on it. How could anyone possibly think they were doing anything other than what is best for the city? Here is the headline and … [Read more...]
The Sheeple Are Hyperventilating With Hype
Here is a random selection of recent hype from a variety of sheeple. What is interesting to note about these people and their comments is how well they duplicate what they are fed. They have been trained to hear and see things from "authority" and then regurgitate it as if it was their own thought. There is not much comment required, but I, as is my wont, have included a few: From: MarcB Registrar <[email protected]>Date: Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 11:12 AMSubject: Whoooooo Hoooooo!! Here We Go People!! : )To: MarcB Registrar <[email protected]> Ok... I jus … [Read more...]
The Squeeze Is On
See the story just published in the Tampa Bay Times about the plans the church just filed with the city concerning the upcoming events. Of course, in typical fashion they submit them two weeks before the scheduled events, demanding over-the-top special treatment. The usual time for applications such as these is 30 days. They are asking for Ft Harrison Ave to be closed entirely from Friday to Sunday evening. And all sorts of sidewalk closures. If the city doesnt bow to their demands there will be squeals of "discrimination" echoing through the empty halls of the SP building. Chopping down … [Read more...]
Hyperdrive Hype
OK, the hyperbole is STRAIGHT UP AND VERTICAL!!!!!! With Exclamation Points!!!!!! Here are 3 examples that have come in in the last few days. They are a follow up to the posting from this morning. Rest assured, this insane hype is just a warm up for the tsunami of shit that is cascading out from Flag and all orgs and missions and everywhere else now that the dates of the most monumental events in recorded history have been officially announced by one of Voldemort's minions. But for warm ups, these are pretty awesome.... Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 From: Making ANZO IDEAL … [Read more...]
Jobur Ideal Org and GAG II
Maybe the release of GAG II is going to solve the spelling/typo problems that seem to be endemic within the RCS. The old saying about not even being able to spell your own name right seems to be true, at least in the Ideal, SH Size org that is at the very dawn of a new civilization. Speaking of GAG II, the big announcement has now been made, and just in time to save the planet: GAG II is Friday 15 November through Sunday 17 November (gotta have some quality time to do this one right and hard sell all those meters and materials....) The IAS Event is Friday 29 November and the Patron's Ball … [Read more...]
Too Little Too Late
The disasters just keep on rolling. These three emails came in this morning. Larry, Moe and Curly Joe couldn't make this more slapstick.... First, after years in the "planning" SMI is sending out an URGENT email that must be answered TODAY to give information about delivering "GAG II." Wonder what happens to the Missions that DONT have trained C/Ses, Co-Audit Sups and Auditors (ie practically every "Mission" listed on Scientology.org)? With GAG II "imminent" this is like asking at the altar whether your bride is a virgin. It's a bit late for that sort of "Oh, I forgot to check...." The … [Read more...]
Ty Dillard Enters the Krazy Rumors Race
Not wanting to be left behind by Mike Smith and David Wilson, Ty Dillard is rolling out the latest rumor. Though for what reason is very unclear. Trying to keep public from going to Flag to do their "OT Objectives Co-Audit"??? Seems a bit strange when they have been HAMMERING "OT's" to get to Flag to re-do their Objectives. But, good news, GAG II is "likely" going to be released "within a few weeks." And for you OT's who "have wanted to do it" [that is redo your Objectives] this will make it easier. Funny how if you are willing to pay, you can do almost anything you want. I wonder if an … [Read more...]
Attempted Damage Control
With Voldemort still playing hide the ball on the "Grand Opening"/GAG II/Super Power/IAS events, the damage control scrambling is full force. This email is an attempt to make everything seem "normal" (or at least as normal as it can be inside a bubble of babble). Two weeks in a row the promise of "we are announcing the date at the next graduation" has passed with no announcement. But continued dead silence only aggravates the problem. So yesterday Lauri Webster sends out an email trying to take everyone's attention off the elephant in the room and get them thinking instead about what … [Read more...]
