Not surprisingly, the volume of promotional materials coming out of scientology has been remarkably reduced as they don't want to be overtly telling people to come in to the organizations (even if secretly, this is IS what they want).   They're still only delivery basic courses This "ideal org" doesn't have much to show for millions invested.   Highest Ever! They saved them up for the last week of the Birthday Game. And these numbers won't Clear even England (let alone the rest of the UK) EVER.   Poor kid... She can read better?

  Twin Cities is #1 Seriously? 37 weeks at number 1 speaks volumes as to the state of scientology. This place is deader than a doornail... and they are the best.     Few Apply, All Are Chosen And why do you always leave out the bit about terrible pay in the middle?   Why no mention of Scientology? It's being held at Joburg Org. According to Google maps that is the corner of Langermann Dr and Grays St. They can't even get the address right?   They spelled it right one this one...   Celebrate 10 years of … [Read more...]

Typical, they can't even get their quotes from Ron right   Talking Half-Heads? What happened here?   Another young life wasted... But she was an employee of Grant Cardone, so it's not a whole lot different. She just won't have as much free time or money.   This is all they could muster?

  The planet gets a little saner? How is this when the number of new non-Clears is outstripping the number of Clears every day by 220,000 to 1? You are literally in a bubble of unreality.   This is the reason to Clear them? I thought it was because they are aberrated?   Oh, that makes sense... You know that 22 of the 25 largest cities on earth (with populations above 8 million) are in countries that don't even have a single scientology org? This includes China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey and Korea   They finally got one Clear And a … [Read more...]

  The new look Crossed arms are so 2019. Holding an empty 3 ring binder is the new thing. Sure says "determined" to me?   Here today, gone tomorrow Just look at ANY of the ideal orgs that have opened and see how many of the people they touted beforehand are there today.

  I have kept a few of the "Christmas" promo pieces, but the number of them is ridiculous so I just ignored most. The amount of promotion about scientology pretending to somehow be part of the Christian Christmas "scene" is crazy. As always, they are trying to create "religious image" and look like "real churches."   A new civilization... And nobody in Sydney is even aware they exist.   Most of them have no scientology at all... The vast majority of countries in Asia have no scientology presence.   The graybeards... This is the … [Read more...]

  New Years is on Saturday! The wog world is behind the times. Only scientology is fully at cause over matter, energy, space and TIME... This will "literally be the most EPIC!" How could anyone possibly miss it? I bet Tom Cruise won't be there... Or Elisabeth Moss. Or Laura Prepon. There are going to be a whole lot of people who manage to resist the most epic event ever... And look at this -- they will hold your children in pens for the duration of the event! That's cause over Matter. They are even trying to get people to come for the event by offering a free dinner. Bet … [Read more...]

  It's an Extravaganza  And it's being done by Quentin Strub no less. He was the CO WISE EUS back in the 1980's and has risen no further.

By filing a fraudulent takedown request Watchtower is just sticking to the usual cult playbook, but I expected more from @TeamYouTube. They have a responsibility to shield ex-cult creators from obvious attempts to silence and censor by their former faiths. https://youtu.be/OxEkKyXk-uo
