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
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?
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
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!!!!
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”
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?
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...]
Just How Desperate is LA Org?
You likely saw the videos on Tony Ortega's site of the 2 guys ("Reckless Ben") who went into LA Org with hidden cameras. In that last video towards the end you witness the desperation of the regges to get $15 from them. It is really pretty pathetic. This is the "largest Class V org and 'model' ideal org" and they are spending time to try to convince this kid to get $15 right now with every sleazy tactic there is. I didn't think it could get more pathetically desperate than that until this recent Facebook posting was sent to me: First, I assume "Betsy" is an org staff member who is … [Read more...]
How Cool is LA Org?
LA Org is the "model" for all scientology Class V level organizations -- even though Miscavige made it into a Sea Org installation. Oddly, the "model" cannot be duplicated in other places in the world and it remains the only Sea Org Class V org. There used to be another one -- St Hill Fdn in the UK that was supposed to service the "local East Grinstead public" in the Castle, but apparently Miscavige closed that down as if you enter your location as East Grinstead on scientology.org it directs you to London Org and Brighton Org. I hadn't realized he closed down that org too in his era of … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The new look Crossed arms are so 2019. Holding an empty 3 ring binder is the new thing. Sure says "determined" to me? Here today, gone tomorrow Just look at ANY of the ideal orgs that have opened and see how many of the people they touted beforehand are there today. Most of these people will never actually start, they just agree to sign up to be left alone for a while. Big Ben! That's a lot of "secular" stuff for an organization that claims to bring more people onto the Bridge than anyone else on earth... The Year of Bahamas … [Read more...]
