Thursday Funnies on Saturday

August 13, 2022 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

    As I put the podcast announcement on the blog on Thursday, The Funnies took a back seat. Here they are, in all their glory...   6th Anniversary of futility They've brought in 2 NSO professional FSMs to host their Sea Org Org anniversary. Home utterly pathetic.     Applied Scholastics Open House Hosted at LA Org. Though this is a completely "secular" activity. Wink wink.   Good luck with that This program has already had trainees on it for a year and they haven't even sent their people to START!   Class … [Read more...]

  May 9th Reduced to a "special graduation" Back in the day it was a major event held at the Shrine Auditorium   Ideal Scenes and Ideal Orgs It's pretty ideal in the world of scientology. At least in their minds.   Well, isn't that theta He learned how to be "light and gentle" on the PTS/SP Course. Must be a different course than I ever saw.   Still Going Still a "Class VIII" Still a rimless zero     Trying a new angle for some PR points Pretty soon we will be reading that the VM's have "formed a partnership" … [Read more...]

For some unknown reason, the AO's are promoting kids this week. Some of the creepiest stuff that seeps out of the bubble.   Only 3 more years.... They average about 300 per year (of course, not subtracting those who have left or died). They're getting excited about something that might happen in 2025. And when it does -- look out. Instantly the world will be putty in the hands of scientology. At least, that's what they are counting on.   Yes, ALL Denmark With a second "Ideal Org" the entire country will be ideal. Funny, before their FIRST ideal org, there were … [Read more...]

    Until I was left with only me.... You only think you got rid of all those pesky BTs and Clusters. Until you get to OT 6, then you will discover you are not ONLY you, but a whole lot more BT's and Cluster. Tens of thousands of them. How could you possibly be so wrong?   Not a lot of interest.... It seems people are NOT curious.   Limited Seating They have 2 folding chairs set up. One for Lance. The other is available. It IS limited seating....   The history of freedom... Delivered by those who promise it (for a hefty price) and … [Read more...]

  Lots of funnies about the Dear Leader in the Sky this week -- celebrating his birth on this earth, not so much his departure though (come to think of it, why isn't January 24th celebrated as the day he completed his OT work on this prison planet?).   All people on this planet? He is helping them by giving money to renovate a building in Cape Town?? Hey Michal, why dont you join the Sea Org?   Catching up to the internet era... Aren't they afraid people are going to see things they shouldn't by fishing around with their phones?     A … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
