Thursday Funnies on Saturday

    What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program.   Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on?   A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts...   Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend...   The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this?   Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [Read more...]

  The Time is Now! Of course, it ALWAYS is. Until tomorrow, when there is something better....     How can it be more? Last week was "everything you ever wanted"?   It's really easy... Except for people who have access to the internet.   Wonder if this is legal? In most states gambling is restricted     Why is this Russian? Barcelona only delivers to Russians?   It's the next big thing Re-do your Purif and SRD. Why? Because you can...   Big Think? Ya think? None of these pix … [Read more...]

    As I put the podcast announcement on the blog on Thursday, The Funnies took a back seat. Here they are, in all their glory...   6th Anniversary of futility They've brought in 2 NSO professional FSMs to host their Sea Org Org anniversary. Home utterly pathetic.     Applied Scholastics Open House Hosted at LA Org. Though this is a completely "secular" activity. Wink wink.   Good luck with that This program has already had trainees on it for a year and they haven't even sent their people to START!   Class … [Read more...]

  What A Deal! The best investment you can make is give us your money so we can invest in real estate and we will give you a phony certificate. Financial Planning par excellence.   Dinner and Graduation Enjoy a romantic evening in the grip of the regges.   It's Inspiring Too!   Did She Graduate Anything This Week? These orgs don't seem to have much in the way of graduates. Instead, "graduation" becomes "hear from..." while the regges hover.   Yeah, Right.... "Now"??? Been working on it for decades and it's not done. What are you … [Read more...]

A Mission Microcosm

September 5, 2021 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

  The real state of scientology Missions. This is a mission in the hotbed of scientology -- Los Angeles. This is where scientology has traditionally been strongest and has done the most recruiting. This Mission is surrounded by scientologists, outside of Clearwater, you will not find more scientologists living within a 20 mile radius of this mission. Yet, they have an ex-SO member as their "OES" (in direct violation of Hubbard policy about the hiring of ex-SO) -- and she is the Supervisor. Apparently there is nobody actually posted in the Tech Division who can even be a … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
