“Children’s” Dumbed Down Way to Happiness

July 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

You have to wonder "Why?" The Way to Happiness is about as simplistically written as anything could be. It's been dumbed down ever dumber to attract the under 6 year olds? And it has "colorful cartoons" drawn by the same person who draws the anti-psych cartoons for CCHR it seems... So, I tried to go to the website listed on the promo piece and the address does not exist. I check on Amazon and another children's book called Making Good Choices is all that shows up: I did eventually find this version. I checked a few pages. They HAVE dumbed it down, though the concepts are … [Read more...]

  One of these 3 didn't get the message Arms folded is the only way to go. All of them missed the memo about not smiling.   Narconon not flourishing They are disappearing from the face of the earth....   We finally made 2 Clears We have to tell the world with a special promotional item because it's such a rare thing...   Like really rare... So we made ANOTHER poster for the same person.   The St Lucia Sickle Cell Association hasn't done their homework... Or they are just really hard up for a place to show a … [Read more...]

  That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days?   Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]

  Bring on the Regges... Taking a break from saving the world to make some money.   In the Sea Org for 48 years... Demoted from Flag and the Freewinds to CLO EUS and now he is going to tell you how to be OT? Hmmmm BTW - he is a nice guy. He was Chief Steward on the Apollo. One of the most thankless jobs of all time.   Your questions? How about this one. Are you addressing the human trafficking occurring at Flag?   The only thing they are less qualified at than human trafficking... Is teaching anyone how to be a good … [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...]

    JAW at it again? "Superfan" John Alex Wood elicited a "Fuck scientology" from Eric Idle. Perhaps the Pythons will have something to say about this?   Well, not sure about best... But certainly poorest.   How sad... His life was a mess. So he moved his family to Columbus to join staff. No doubt with promises of a place to say and good pay. Expect he will reach out to the Aftermath Foundation in about 6 weeks...   Wow, what an honor This is actually a thing?   Erm, what about "Done Sir"? That was last month. All … [Read more...]

Grooming the “Next Generation” of “Org Execs”

October 19, 2019 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

This is how scientologists are groomed from an early age. Indoctrination into the Hubbard "study tech" which teaches you that if something he said doesn't make sense, it is simply because there is a word or symbol you have not understood. According to Valentina Smith, these are the "next generation of org execs". Valentina is one of the Admins on the "Scientology - Perth" Facebook group (where this was posted). As I recall, she is one of the lonely staff of the Perth "ideal org", though I may be mistaken. Scientology increasingly relies on second and third generations to be their "new … [Read more...]

      It's an "ideal island"... Like they now have an "ideal Florida" with 3, yes, 3 ideal orgs in a state with more than 20 million residents. Just think, they will have ONE org for an island with a population of 3.6  million. Actually, that should really be ideal -- 99.9% of the population will never come in contact with scientology. The other 360 people will be the unlucky ones. But in fact there are dozens of even more ideal islands (nations) in the Caribbean that are entirely scientology free zones (except when the Freewinds is in port). Odd how the “OT … [Read more...]
