“Massive” Announcement! The Bridge is now “Wider”

August 17, 2022 By Mike Rinder 50 Comments

The scientology world is going nuts with the "super-mega OMG!! announcement" that "everyone has been waiting for." It is BIG BIG BIG news. Because it's so monumental, it's going to be made at the next Graduation (since when was this a thing?) I haven't seen a frenzy like this for some time -- probably not since Super Power/Running Pgm. I would bet it has to do with the OEC training program Miscavige has been running. Only something he is personally involved in (and is taking credit for of course) could get this sort of attention. Probably some "lost tech" of how to get people on the … [Read more...]

Where’s Waldo?

July 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

  While Miscavige and the scientology organizations pretend they have no idea where Captain Miscavige is when it comes time to face the music in court, they are making a very big deal about him being right there at the Ft Harrison delivering briefings ever Friday night. "Talk about a Flag exclusive!" Dear Leader has been lapping up the adoration at Flag graduation each week, and Flag wants everyone to know. They devoted an entire, large format mailing piece exclusively to make his presence known. The ridiculous statements on the last page are clear evidence of the brainwashed … [Read more...]

  Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific.   First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal...   Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not   Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [Read more...]

Hall of Fame? An an "extraordinary" briefing on GAK Extension courses. Nothing about actual graduates.   Woohoo! Our files are current.  Or they were last week. They're probably backlogged again already. The most sophisticated administrative system in the universe....   Get Virtually Briefed... By a registrar! Haha   LRH Birthday Celebrated at graduation? Oh dear. What a downgrade.   A Must See Event! Your money will magically disappear....   All Ideal USA Can you imagine how incredible it will be?\ The USA will be … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Funnies

  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US. Thank you. No Thank you. No, thank you... But in the end it's only Ron that matters.   Eradicate the Reactive Mind I've got a faster, better, cheaper idea. Don't buy into the idea in the first place. In the end, they coax you into believing you created it in the first place.   Holiday Escape Rooms? They lock you in a room with a reg and see if you can get out without going bankrupt?   Big News You can bet it has something to do with you giving them your money for their holidays. That is always … [Read more...]

      Lots of found parking spaces and caught the green light... There's been a pretty big devaluation of "OT phenomena"   AOLA could use some of this... Wonder why these guys who are so good aren't 10X the success of the orgs?   Instead of being on course? Oh my....   Unites? This is the big IAS event this year? Wow   The First Ideal Continent... Just Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane to go for an ideal "Continent" -- but not a single org in India, China, Indonesia etc. Seems just a little bit of a hollow … [Read more...]

Some Funnies on Thursday

August 26, 2021 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

  Just a few of the things that have been forwarded to me recently. Some are a little old. But nothing really changes in scientology, it just gets smaller. People have been asking for Thursday Funnies to come back. It somewhat depends on what comes in. Once the pandemic hit, the volume of promotional items they sent out decreased. But it seems to be coming back now. Not sure if I will do this every Thursday, but here is an installment to satisfy the need for some humor on this topic.   "Get some of the most praised products!" Huh? And what might they be? This place is … [Read more...]

A few promotional items sent in over the last week. Of course, it was Mother's Day, which seemed oddly inappropriate to fall on the same day as Dianetics was published, because Dianetics reflects Hubbard's dystopian view of women -- a great deal of the book is devoted to the idea that women routinely seek to self-abort their pregnancies. Somehow, everyone supposedly has these "engrams" from their time in the womb... But it is also a reflection of the decline of scientology that "Dianetics Day" -- once one of the "big" international events where the newest Dianetics sponsored race car would … [Read more...]

This is a random collection of things sent in recently. There is little rhyme or reason to them.   Hubbard Logic Wrap your brain around this. So, if there is anything you disagree with in scientology it is because you haven't properly recalled what you already knew...   Roping in an Ideal Org What they are actually doing is roping in some suckers. Though at this point, I cannot imagine anyone participating in any event like this that isn't already intending to hand over some cash. The more important question. Why is the Valley OT Committee wasting time on Albuquerque … [Read more...]

Flag Graduation “Briefing Sheet”

December 2, 2014 By Mike Rinder 196 Comments

Another leak from inside the bubble. Here is the "briefing" for those who are going to be at Graduation -- and might possibly be allowed to "give their win" if "it aligns with the overall message" of this "promotional event" and as long as they DON'T use any "LRH quotes." It appears there is nothing that is beneath the "OMG, we couldn't do that, it would be horrendously crass and completely opposed to the fundamental concepts of scientology" threshhold. There is NOTHING they won't do. Thanks to COB and RTC for the incredible job of keeping the bs pure. … [Read more...]
