Thursday Funnies

  This is the "Advanced Org" Their "Safe Pointing" campaign...   ASI's "Tasty Treats" Get yourself a shot of hot jolt -- while they try to sell you some "priceless" "special editions" of Ron's old, not very good, fiction.   He's Running in Circles He's "on Cause Resurgence" -- wonder if he's dizzy?   No Org Graduates? Just someone from Flag?   An example to others? Oddly for Chicago, she is young. This poster is a bit misleading given the other old people we have seen...     Avoid bad decisions Like paying $6 … [Read more...]

    What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program.   Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on?   A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts...   Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend...   The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this?   Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [Read more...]

Documented Way to Happiness Campaign Fail

November 20, 2022 By Mike Rinder 17 Comments

I think scientologists are losing braincells with each WTH booklet they distribute. Lydia Hopwood is announcing "proof" of the effectiveness of handing out WTH booklets and attaches statistics from the LA PD as "evidence".... Unfortunately, what she attaches proves the exact opposite (but is a great illustration of how scientology creates the illusion they are "helping the world" as I describe below). If it were the WTH booklets that caused the reduction in violent crime in the Foothill area, then what is being done in Pacific/Southwest/West LA as that is apparently far more … [Read more...]

  A Field Auditor? Wow, pickins are slim when they have to announce they have a field auditor...   On the Plaque! Unless something happens in the next decade before their ribbon yanking and he is no longer "in good standing"   Why is she not training at Flag? Because they know she will NEVER graduate   How pathetic Begging for people to download their app. And not only that, begging for 100 people OMG.   Technology so advanced it can only be delivered at Flag... Like running around in circles.   The Swept-Away beard … [Read more...]

More Panic in Los Angeles

October 16, 2022 By Mike Rinder 20 Comments

This is clearly part of the internal propaganda campaign that Miscavige is implementing to try to paper over the large cracks in the PR dam for the scientology public. The bad news is rolling in day-by-day, especially in LA. So, time to send out the SuMP team and film "massive dissemination" happening at "Dodger Station." That they have to beg for people to show up so that their activities can be filmed is VERY telling. That their message is now "We're here" -- as in, "Not YET gone" is pretty telling also. The walls are closing in on scientology. Winter is coming. … [Read more...]

  Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific.   First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal...   Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not   Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [Read more...]

  Be kind, be decent... Yeah, the guiding principles of scientology. Not   AOSH Africa taking over the world One country that is actually their zone, everywhere else they are poaching other AO's territory! And who the hell is this guy -- he is from Albania? Why is he promoting AOSH Africa and not AOSHEU?   Oh boy... Columbus is almost the BEST org in all of EUS? And the real scoop on this Sea Org manned org is that it is a complete morgue -- listen to the podcast Chris Shelton did recently with the SO member who The Aftermath Foundation helped … [Read more...]

  Did they actually have 2 completions in one week? They never show shots of the actual graduation...   More "Advanced Org" services What are these people doing? They're so desperate they are trying to attract raw public?   Monumental Achievements They got some people to play at Graduation! The bar is pretty low these days...

LA WTH

This "campaign" to stuff mailboxes in LA with copies of The Way to Happiness continues full speed ahead. The level of delusion on display here is mind-boggling. These people have been convinced to believe, in violation of everything observable to them, that putting a booklet in someone's mailbox is going to have miraculous effects: "just imagine the sanity spreading to beings who need theta and direction in their lives!" I get tons of "mail" like this -- pamphlets, leaflets, booklets, fliers, magazines etc etc in my mailbox every day. It all goes straight into the garbage without a … [Read more...]

More Mission Fail

November 21, 2021 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

The evidence of the sorry state of the once flourishing scientology mission network keeps rolling in. This is not speculation -- it is stuff they are sending out that announce just what a pathetic show it is. This latest is from the Sunland Mission. In the center of the largest concentration of scientologists on earth. Here is a very recent email. My notes are in red.   Hi Friends, I would like to share the recent wins we have had with Sunland Mission! Maybe you have already seen a recent one that we are very proud of. It is a 6’ by 12’ (it's YUUUUGE) Dianetics … [Read more...]

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...

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.
