Some of the claims made about Ideal Orgs defy belief. Even for a cynical bitter defrocked apostate on the fringes of the internet. This is the latest fundraising pitch for the Detroit ideal org. Detroit org has been there for half a century (perhaps more?) and it has created absolutely NO impact. They admit nobody in Detroit even knows what scientology is. They probably know the word and the information from the internet and The Aftermath and Going Clear -- but in the minds of scientologists that means they don't know what scientology REALLY is. They are only aware of the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
As a result of a holiday, flying across country and mostly the deterioration of my gray matter, I mistakenly thought Thursday was only Wednesday and I missed the Thursday Funnies... But never fear -- here they are in all their glory (?) Perth on a roll Nobody graduating anything, but they have brought in a TV show contestant to try to attract some interest Wizard of OH With a special skit to "take our ideal org to a done." Huh? Strange ideas You know what you said has nothing to do with what building you are in? Doesn't even register on … [Read more...]

Ideal Org? They quote Hubbard talking about building the FUNCTIONS and use this to persuade people to give money for a building. Nuts. Old People Seminars He is probably too old to audit. Otherwise they would have him in the chair collecting $1500/hour. Become employable... So you can hand over what you earn. Looking very humanitarian... Wonder where these guys found the money? Why Pay? They do these "exclusive, one time only" briefings for free all the time? Everyone knows they are just fundraisers. Victory is at … [Read more...]

Armageddon is coming... Only the true believers will be saved. I guess it's lonely then... How is "Target 2" working out for you? Because Target 1 is a big lose. Check out the "Driver License Training" First up speaker. Tough Enough? Or stupid enough? Huh? Something stinks like rotten fish. An empty org... It's the "ideal" scene. WHAT? Come for afternoon tea Stay to be regged. We have to get someone to show up to this place in the boonies somehow... I thought those … [Read more...]
Orlando Hype
This is the headline scientology has on their website announcing the "new" org in Orlando. A STAR BURSTS IN “THE CITY BEAUTIFUL” AS A RIBBON FALLS ON THE NEW CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY Complete gibberish. And it goes on for paragraphs, starting with this: A “Magic Kingdom” of a metropolitan region where enchantment is routine, the surreal is real and stars are wished upon, the “Theme Park Capital of the World” is entirely unique. Home to wonderlands such as Walt Disney World, SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter among many more, Orlando’s massive playgro … [Read more...]
The Scam of Orlando
The holes in the decaying fence around scientology's shrinking empire continue to grow. Those holes are about the only thing that IS expanding in the scientology world. Today, the Chairman of the Bored is supposed to yanks his ribbon in the parking lot of a new building in an Orlando office park. Last time they postponed at the last minute. They now moved it forward a week at the last minute. Maybe it will just be all CGI - the first Jurassic Park style yanking? They could still show it at the next event along with all the other CGI “fly through” and “exploding graphs” and that’s what is rea … [Read more...]

Next time around... Wow, that's some foresight. The Final Moment? Who wants to take bets how long after this final moment they have another fundraiser? It will probably be announced before this one is even held... Food, glorious food Gosh, they couldn't even drag old Michael Roberts along for this apparently. Dallas is so dead they don't want to spend the money to fly anyone there... Nothing says service... Like an empty HGC. Is that a funny light fixture or did they actually send this out with whiteout on it? Foothills … [Read more...]
There Is No New Church of Scientology in Perth
This is Scientology's headline on their website following David Miscavige's parking lot ribbon yanking: DOWN UNDER’S “CITY OF LIGHTS” WELCOMES NEWEST CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY This is a double lie. First, there is no "new church of scientology" in Perth. There is a new building, but that is not a "new church." It's the same crappy little scientology group that has been there for 50 years and has never amounted to anything. Second, nobody welcomed them, except themselves. Here are a few excerpts of Shermanspeak about the opening: Perth may be far-flung, but the city’s can-do, entrepr … [Read more...]
The Final World Class Ideal Org…
This new poster says a lot. This is the "final world class ideal org for America"?? Wow. Scientology of course has no problem making outrageous statements and blustering on through as though everyone will simply agree because they say so. But I wonder how Boston feels about being relegated to the "non-world class" category? Or Philly? Austin? Detroit? There is apparently NEVER going to be any org in Houston, New Orleans or Charlotte, let alone an ideal one. But even more interesting than their stupidity is how much this reveals about the state of scientology in the age of the … [Read more...]

Though Orlando apparently didn't make their target for opening last week (what a shock?) they are making up for it with an outpouring of promotional pieces that is impressive in it's volume, if not the content. It's a constant flow of travelers... So...? Well, for one thing, they will NEVER find you. If the travelers are so important (like they are going to go on course instead of DisneyWorld?) why aren't you located anywhere they could possibly see you? I'm giving him a cleared planet But he doesnt care, he's handling "Target 2". Plus, you're not giving … [Read more...]
