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...]

Thanks to everyone who submits these each week...   Financial Security Workshop The irony is that the place will be swarming with more Regges than participants. The last place anyone should go for financial security is into any scientology building. Let alone Big Blue where LA Org, ASHO and AOLA Regges will be hovering. Not to mention IAS, WISE, ABLE, CCHR, WTH etc etc   Not much hype The most important beings in the universe don't get the hype that the dudes in the hazmat suits spraying Defcon 9 get. Not even a video!   Two water bottles That's the best … [Read more...]

  It's the best they've got... Funny how they tell you sitting in a sauna will make you "Think More Clearly" and lo and behold, the success story says just that!   Get your kids in for an OCA! Find their ruin! Lydia Hopwood is a menace... Trying to earn FSM Commissions from kids, pimping them right to the reg.   Well, not really. Not even "salvaging Columbus" actually. Wonder how many of these are Sea Org members and other staff shanghai'd and told to "replace themselves" in order to go home. This will be down to less than half this number in a … [Read more...]

New revelations from @TroMcManus. Of course #scientology has records that document their abuses but claim they can keep them secret. The USSC disagrees, but they continue to assert it and when law enforcement doesn't press they get away with murder. When will it end?

Tracey McManus@TroMcManus

Valeska Paris sued Scientology last month in Tampa federal court, alleging she was trafficked as a child.

Three years ago, she tried to pursue criminal charges.

Clearwater Police couldn’t get evidence from the church.

Of course he didn’t.

When you’re second in command of a borderless totalitarian state and cult of personality you can’t risk being asked about prison camps, forced abortions, conversion therapy, forced family separations, and the first in command physically abusing his workforce https://twitter.com/RaminSetoodeh/status/1526945227382018051

Tom Cruise took a selfie with a fan after his #Cannes2022 talk. But he didn’t take any questions from the audience:

@LeahRemini @MikeRinder Thank you for brining further awareness to the authorities of this cult! Scientology uses conversion therapy which is not illegal in Ca. I have been through plenty of it with this CULT and its abuse. Im grateful now to have my free and beautiful GAY life!
