Thursday Funnies – Thanksgiving Edition
Thanksgiving and food is the theme of today's Funnies. But nothing ever really overshadows MONEY. Potluck Thanksgiving Seems so odd for a church NOT to PROVIDE a Thanksgiving dinner for those in need. In scientology bring your own and then we will rape your wallet when you get here seems to be the norm. And why would you want to go to a Potluck rather than being with your family. Sad. Not Potluck? I guess they didn't get the memo... The Great Year-End Eternity Sale But hurry, if you don't get your money down by midnite … [Read more...]
California Dreaming
Some thoughts on the latest "ideal org" to open in San Diego this weekend. Shermanspeak Ah, the magnificent prose: Follow the Pacific Coast Highway down Southern California’s meandering shoreline along a 70-mile stretch of sandy beaches basking in the most perfect weather—anywhere—and you’ll arrive to the city of San Diego. Such was the location for a sunbaked Saturday afternoon amid San Diego’s downtown skyline—a sublime setting to celebrate the city’s new Church of Scientology. The insane claims: the ribbon yanking on this building is "hailed as a moment for the American Dream" … [Read more...]

St Louis is Rocking Really. Even Fran got in on the act. And "Why I Did It" can be summed up this way - I am led to believe I am doing something good handing over my money. Milestones! Now we know the exact definition of "milestone" - 5 hours working in CF. Have you heard about the huge field meeting? Neither has anyone else.... They don't have a huge field to meet. Unless it's a milestone huge field meeting with 5 people. The elites the planet is depending on Seriously? Then we should all kiss our asses goodbye. Mighty … [Read more...]
Newest “Ideal Mission” is Hiding any Scientology Connection
This is the announcement of the latest "Ideal Mission" on the scientology.org website. Here is the Mission's website that has NO MENTION of scientology -- it is called the "Orange County Life Improvement Center": Even when you click on "Counseling" this is what you see: Why are they hiding the scientology connection? This does NOT seem very "ideal"?? Surprised they have "Church of Scientology" on the front of the building. Perhaps they put that up temporarily for the ribbon yanking video? Seems that being scientology isn't much of a selling … [Read more...]

Silicon Valley Groundbeaking A year after completing their funraising they are finally going to beak the ground. At least they spelled it right this time.... But what the hell is the CCHR IC EUS doing there? New Year's... It's either the 17th of December or the 27th? Save the dates.... Make sense out of this, if you can Somehow the theme seems appropriate Free lunch But really, there is no such thing. Especially not in scientology. Can you handle the truth? The Chanman is going to explain the Whole Track … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Fail – More
Anniversaries of ideal org ribbon yankings are being celebrated routinely these days. Yet, in fact, there is little (or nothing) to celebrate. San Francisco is one of the first 4 "ideal" orgs -- way back in November 2003. That is 13 years ago. In all that time, they have NOT even achieved St Hill Size. This was the level of operation L. Ron Hubbard said was a "viable organization" -- that is above the "make-break" point. Thus, by Hubbard's reckoning any org that is NOT SH size is not viable and cannot make it in the world. He also said this: So, what is wrong with these … [Read more...]

It's Yuge Biggest since the Portland Crusade. Er, by the way, the IAS had NOTHING to do with Portland. There was no "IAS event" about Portland as IAS events didn't exist then. Wait -- what about THE Turning Point event? The War Is Over!!! Wonder if she is going to survive this monumental assault on the COB's ego that she forgot about his greatest accomplishment? ASHO, Home of the Briefing Course Apparently not. And as the person who sent this "success" to me commented. Her "wins" could have been achieved by retiring. Far less costly and perhaps more … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
I periodically publish Valley Org OTC Minutes that are sent my way. Haven't had many of late, but then this one came in. The OTC is all aflutter as they apparently completed their fundraising target (for the time being at least) thanks to the "OT Warrior Princess" stepping in at the end to put everyone out of their misery. Of course, they are still "collecting" the actual money, even though they have celebrated their accomplishment. And while they are collecting they are apparently still offering half-humanitarianships. They have raised all the money yet are still offering discounts to rake … [Read more...]
An Epic Bust: Scientology Ireland
Got a new email from an old fake friend who usually circulates the latest slime about Ron Miscavige. This time he/she was announcing the wonders of the new "Dublin Office." Prompting me to instant action, I dutifully followed the link to the scientology site to see what they had to say about this monumental accomplishment that had attendees at the IAS Event gushing about the miracle of being able to set up a whole "ideal org" without anyone even knowing! (As usual, their heads are firmly planted in the sand - it has been the topic of a lot of media and social media coverage over the … [Read more...]
