Thursday Funnies

March 10, 2022 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

Hall of Fame? An an "extraordinary" briefing on GAK Extension courses. Nothing about actual graduates.   Woohoo! Our files are current.  Or they were last week. They're probably backlogged again already. The most sophisticated administrative system in the universe....   Get Virtually Briefed... By a registrar! Haha   LRH Birthday Celebrated at graduation? Oh dear. What a downgrade.   A Must See Event! Your money will magically disappear....   All Ideal USA Can you imagine how incredible it will be?\ The USA will be … [Read more...]

Super Bowl BS

February 9, 2022 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

  Unfortunately, it's that time of year again. Each Super Bowl, Scientology does their best to litter the parking lot with fliers people have been handed out and just as quickly thrown away. Usually it is these "Drug Free World Booklets" and also Way To Happiness. And you know neither of them make mention of scientology. There is absolutely NO evidence at all that handing out their booklets "results in less crime and less drug use." These fools really believe that a pamphlet is going to stop a criminal from committing a crime or anyone from using drugs? The only PROVEN result of … [Read more...]

We ARE Clearing the Planet — Proof

January 30, 2022 By Mike Rinder 29 Comments

Some news from the model ideal org in Los Angeles. Over 880 Clear (or "near Clear") in just the last few years alone. Best case scenario, the "few" years is the minimum it can be which is three. That is a bit less than 300 per year. 6 per week. More likely, the "last few years" is since they went "ideal" in 2010. That is 12 years. About 75 per year or 1.5 per week. Most likely they are counting this from when they became a full Sea Org "model ideal" in October 2014, with 200 imported SO members. That is 7 years. Confirming that is the likely time period, here is their hype … [Read more...]

  Nothing is Happening Repeated showings of "Brief Breath in Eternity Event" -- all have limited seats available (they are showing it in the broom closet). Wonder what their "human rights activities" were on MLK Day?   Saving Mankind "a little at a time" -- like REALLY little. Like not measurable.   Columbus Org Birthday Not sure what this is about. But you gotta wonder what they have to celebrate? A whole bunch of stranded Sea Org members....   Is Tony Muhammad Invited? Remembering is one thing, he doesn't think the Holocaust was … [Read more...]

LA Org — The “Model” Ideal Org

January 15, 2022 By Mike Rinder 45 Comments

This is the model ideal org that all orgs are supposed to follow... The one manned entirely by Sea Org members (which is NOT able to be duplicated by Class V orgs anywhere else). This says a lot about the state of this org. They need to ROUND UP and CALL IN people in order to have 30 people in the shots.... They don't have 30 people in the org already? They have to call in actors? What is up with that? … [Read more...]

How Empty is Scientology?

October 10, 2021 By Mike Rinder 97 Comments

One of our regular readers, Doug Sprinkle, was in LA last week and went for a walk around the scientology complex. Outside of Flag, this is the largest scientology operation on earth. It should be bustling with people in the middle of the day... Unlike Flag, this IS a place for new public to be sucked into scientology. While Flag is a reflection of how many people are making it UP the Bridge, LA is a reflection of both that and how many people are COMING ONTO the Bridge. Things are not looking good. We know Valley is a wasteland. Never hear anything at all from Inglewood, Pasadena or … [Read more...]

Begging for WTH

July 10, 2021 By Mike Rinder 29 Comments

  In typical scientology fashion, the WTH IC Los Angeles Org is offering "free" WTH booklets as part of trying to ingratiate themselves with this community. Of course, NOTHING is free in scientology, and this is a perfect opportunity to raise some more money! Though 200 booklets printed on their internal printing press would cost them a few dollars (just the cost of the paper itself) they are demanding that the full price of a $1 per booklet be "donated" so they can give these things away. They don't mention the fact that WTH will make a handsome profit on this - like 90 cents for … [Read more...]

Massive Dissemination Success in Los Angeles!!!!

July 8, 2021 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

    Hot off the press... This is a new level of desperate. Announcing to the world that they got a single person to buy a book -- some person looking for a romantic partner who is apparently a nerd got caught on a MeetUp.com phishing expedition by a reg at LA Org. Take note of the defensive attitude in this "promotion" piece: "anything new or different gets rejected by those who don't understand it and haven't taken the time to understand it - thus through mental laziness find it easier to reject and discard it." So much to unpack in that sentence. First, … [Read more...]

“No Reging”

May 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 75 Comments

This is a bit old. I had overlooked it and then noticed "No Reging"[sic]. This is a very interesting development. John Alex Wood is still alive and kicking? Who knew? But more importantly,  I think this is an indicator the pandemic is going to have a significant long-term effect on scientology. Not only because people are not coming in and paying for services right now and are instead hiding out at home doing a $20 Extension Course, sending in a chapter every few weeks. But because this break is changing the mindset of the sheeple. It's like someone who has had a headache every … [Read more...]

There’s “Good News” in LA and Another 10,000?

April 25, 2020 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

Well, it's always good to know that there IS good news. You can just imagine it: "Thanks to your support of the IAS [$10 million collected in the last month] we have provided disinfectant to 3 teams [and one video crew to film them before they were asked to leave] who have been bringing order in the chaos in Burkina Faso [not a peep from Pasadena or N. Hollywood]" This is how we "can be at cause over our 4th Dynamic"... They are so delusional. And more good news, apparently LA Org has decided they can get 10,000 onto extension courses. Flag has been trying to get 10,000 onto or … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard claims his "scientific research" proves he went to heaven. He also opines how #scientology must replace the "false Gods" of #christianity and other religions. It's one of his truly unhinged scribblings that they don't want people to see.

So many people expected that #GhislaineMaxwell would walk free from this trial, but the story told by @BradEdwards_Esq in Relentless Pursuit reveals exactly how she and Epstein worked together. It's a shocking and compelling read. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Relentless-Pursuit-Victims-Jeffrey-Epstein/dp/1471195317/ref=monarch_sidesheet https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/1476458297897201667

Watch #TheDeepEnd on Hulu. Fascinating 4 part doc study of cult leader @_tealswan by Jon Kasbe and @BitsSola. Also listen to interview by @sarahjedmondson and @nippyames on @alittlebitculty podcast. Cult leaders are all cut from the same cloth. My take: https://www.mikerindersblog.org/off-the-deep-end/
