Guardians of the Universe? Maybe you should try to get some people to come to Flag before controlling the whole universe? You people are so utterly deluded it is laughable. Pasadena for Ventura How about Pasadena for Pasadena? The problem is there is nothing that can be bought that will make Pasadena, the ALREADY ideal org, a success. So, just move on, pretend we don't notice, and spend money on another ideal org in Ventura... Yeah, that makes sense. Proud to be Pirates I guess pillaging and plundering doesn't require you to be able to … [Read more...]
The “Top” of the Bridge is Collapsing
The "Mecca of Technical Perfection" (they don't seem to use that name any more, even though it was bestowed by L. Ron Hubbard himself) is becoming more and more desperate. Yesterday I included information about the shrinking world of scientology evidenced by the curtailed Maiden Voyage celebrations. Today we have more evidence from the "top of the Bridge" where they are now delivering the "Personal Efficiency Course"... This is described at the What is Scientology website as follows (emphasis mine): For many people, happiness is an elusive quality. Surveys show that “being happy” is w … [Read more...]
Scientology Still on My Mind
Our old friend Terra Cognita is back with more insight. Sadly, I imagine many readers here can relate to these observations. I stopped writing regularly about Scientology after I’d said everything I thought I needed to say. I’d climbed out of the rabbit hole. Exorcised my demons. Laughed at the hypocrisy. And finally capped my pen when I felt it was time to move on. And yet, I still think about Scientology. Not as frequently as during the first couple of years after I’d left, but I still have occasional conversations in my mind with those I left behind—with those still trapped inside the b … [Read more...]

Pasadena for Ventura? Why? You need to concentrate on Pasadena because your place is EMPTY. Drove past there the other day and not a soul to be seen anywhere inside... Maybe you could get out of the chicken suit and start doing something to try to make your own org produce anything at all. It's EPIC They're Gods and Goddesss. Pity they are so powerless they havent been able to renovate a building they purchased 15 YEARS ago... St Hill Size Founding Staff By the time they reach St Hill Size the founding staff are all going to be … [Read more...]
Battle Creek BS
The bs just keeps rolling when it comes to the "ideal orgs" campaign. The small, failing org that was originally in Ann Arbor, Michigan has never been more than a tiny mission. This “ideal org” story begins back in 2001, even BEFORE the official launch of the Ideal Org program. They were unable to pay their rent and had to move. A building was on the market in Battle Creek for cheap. This is a small town 50 miles west of Ann Arbor (which is on the outskirts of Detroit metropolitan area and is home to the huge University of Michigan) in the middle of nowhere. Battle Creek only has a pop … [Read more...]
Harlem Ideal Org Massive Fail
Harlem was opened as an "ideal" org on 31 July 2016. That is 3 years ago now. In that time, they have made 40 Clears. Forty. A little over one every 4 weeks. And according to them this is "BIG" news at the #coolestorgontheplanet. Well, hell, if they are doing so well and are so cool, the standards have dropped pretty low in the world of scientology. They're not going to be Clearing NY any time soon. In fact, they are going backwards on achieving that goal. Slightly modifying someone's adroit recent comment: this is like jumping over the sofa and declaring … [Read more...]
Kansas City Corn
It's a Disney dream from the deluded bubble-dwellers in Kansas. This is absolutely bonkers. Walt Disney spent time in Kansas City, so you should join org staff to make an ideal dream come true. What's next -- "the Kansas City Chiefs were good last year, but they need to be pushed over the top to make it all way. So join org staff." Or, "We are famous for our corn here in Kansas, so join the corniest team on earth?" Meanwhile, in Los Angeles the STAAD League are protesting outside Disney HQ because they are such "bigots"... Scientology has a hard time keeping their stories … [Read more...]

"Ignite" your prosperity That's a new word. Wonder if it will join "milestone," "epic" and "watershed" as a go-to for scientology promo? This may be the start of a new trend. You heard it here first. Of course -- all VERY religious. Even a $25 admission fee. Columbus is rocking Nearly half way through the alphabet -- what an accomplishment. 3 or 4 dedicated people working on this. They will have Columbus cleared in no time. Uh-oh They had to ship in Sea Org members to file their CF! OMG, how bad can things be. And those SO Members are … [Read more...]
AOSHANZO is Crushing It! (Not really…)
These guys are SO proud of what they are accomplishing they have to put it out for all the world to see. Of course, it helps to attract my attention when I see my brother and sister-in-law in the thick of it. Before looking at what they have achieved, let's put things in perspective. This is the SINGLE Advanced Org and SH for "ANZO" -- which in scientology speak is the "continental area" that includes Australia, New Zealand and "Oceania" -- which “obviously” incorporates South East Asia and Japan and China. But it is interesting to note that despite a single org in Tokyo and more rec … [Read more...]
California Dreamin’
The big push is on for an "Ideal California" -- as if this is going to change anything... The fundraising promotional pieces are coming hard and fast. Below are just a few from the last week. What is so incredible is that these people think that the last ideal org in California is going to make any difference to anything or anyone. Think about it. The third "ideal org" ever is in San Francisco. There are "ideal" orgs in Sacramento and 3 others in the Bay Area (Stevens Creek, Los Gatos and "Silicon Valley" -- remember when they were going to take over the world because they were … [Read more...]
