Thursday Funnies

October 27, 2022 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

This one is going to be the real story.... We are circling the drain, more unpopular than ever, stats going down, more leaving than coming in newly. So, give us your money.   Any excuse for a fundraiser... They're supposed to be GIVING OUT candy. They don't even know what Halloween is in Australia.   Gosh, what happened to Africa? Maybe they're not doing so hot despite their promotional pieces that always say they are? Then again, AOSHEU could be full of bs too.   Trick and treats? I think they might not understand the Halloween concept … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

July 14, 2022 By Mike Rinder 25 Comments

  AO Africa?? Never seems to reflect "Africa"... There's one token representative on the left of the shot.   Africa? She's from Germany. Not at AOSHEU which is just across the border?   No wonder... They are promoting "public are flying in from all over the world". Apparently there aren't enough scientologists in Africa to keep an AO busy   Accepting Applications from Upstat Persons Not really true. ANYBODY qualifies. And they're not "accepting applications" they are begging for anyone from anywhere to join … [Read more...]

“We Wanted a Big, Booming Org” — And We Don’t Have One

June 27, 2021 By Mike Rinder 43 Comments

Well, I have to ask. Where IS the big, booming org in London? (Or anywhere...) And what does a staff member completing the PTS/SP Course have to do with a big, booming org? Now she is going to be able to confront and shatter the suppression that is preventing the org from expanding? In fact, this course teaches scientologists to stay the hell away from "suppression" -- they cannot confront nor handle it, let alone shatter it. So, that isn't going to help... Once again, this is the blind sheeple demonstrating their cognitive dissonance. 40 years ago, Hubbard said in an LRH ED "we … [Read more...]

Repair of the “Black” Family?

June 2, 2019 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

It would appear the NOI ethnic is pervading scientology. Nobody in their right mind would conduct a seminar called "Repair of the White Family." They would of course be labeled as racist. Why wouldn't this simply be "Repairing the Family" (no matter what the skin color?) When the NOI gets involved, apparently norms fly out the window. Because they consider they have to fight for the black man in a white dominated world. They do not allow whites to attend their services. They are militantly pro-"black" and and anti-"white", especially Jews. Remember, this is the organization … [Read more...]

Scientology Medical Quackery

February 9, 2019 By Mike Rinder 126 Comments

Scientology is often criticized by those who claim it practices medicine without a license. They protest this heavily, claiming they do NOT treat or cure illnesses. Of course, in the scientology world, mental illness is NOT an illness. It is just a bunch of false labels used to persuade people to buy drugs (kind of like scientology is a bunch of false information used to get people to buy scientology)... In scientology, being prescribed a "psych drug" makes you an "illegal pc" ineligible for auditing (though plenty of illegal pc's have been persuaded to hand over money, only to later be … [Read more...]

Ideal Org Fail: London

September 13, 2016 By Mike Rinder 102 Comments

Here is further proof of the total fail that is the ideal org program. This is one of the very first ideal orgs. 2004 if I recall correctly. The premises were procured at enormous expense and the old London Org, which had been at Tottenham Court Rd forever, was converted into a "Test Center" and Div 6 feeder for the main org that was moved to a deserted street right near St Paul's cathedral. The "CC London" was closed down and combined with this magnificent new org that was the answer to clearing not just London, but entirety of England, in fact the whole of the United Kingdom. And … [Read more...]

London Ideal Org is BOOMING. Not.

July 3, 2016 By Mike Rinder 91 Comments

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G fail. This email was recently sent out from the executive in charge of getting new people onto the Bridge in London's "ideal" org.  And of course this is the ONLY org for a city with 10 million resident - imagine if there was ONE laundromat in all of London and the owners were announcing "we are cleaning London's clothes" and actually stated their goal for the last 25 years was to do the laundry of every person in London, but they still only had one small laundromat that nobody even used because their prices were too high. He is so very proud of the fact that one person a … [Read more...]

Ideal Org “Successes” A Work In Progress

August 11, 2014 By Mike Rinder 83 Comments

Apparently these "ideal" orgs don't have anyone actually completing anything to give "success stories" so they resort to getting (and publishing) "successes" from people "in progress" on services. This is the best they can come up with? A further indictment of the complete failure of the "ideal org" program and GAG II.   … [Read more...]

London Calling

February 1, 2014 By Mike Rinder 29 Comments

This is a report sent in from a Special Correspondent that was originally in response to an earlier posting about the New Years video. It deserves its own posting as by the time we ironed out the difficulties getting the shots, there was a new posting up and this would have been lost. A lot of specifics about the state of this "Ideal Org" confirm everything else that is being reported about orgs around the world. Remember, this is the org that is so heavily hyped in the "We Are Clearing The UK" idiocy that routinely emanates from inside the bubble. This is also an org that cost 10 million … [Read more...]

This is destined to be an #SPTV classic comedy moment. @blownforgood and @claireheadley share details of their "first date" in the Sea Org. It's near the end. If you're not subscribed to my channel yet, please do so... There is also important content.

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
