  The Fun is Back! Until the regges show up.   It's Magical That's a good word for it... And it beats chanting every day for 12 years to not become a pig or a stone....     "Special" Commendations All you have to do is send in an Extension Course for 7 weeks in a row. Come in to the org and get a VERY Special Commendation. What a prize! You have to wonder if any scientology org has ever given out a "normal" Commendation.   It's a Festival Bet anyone that shows up on L. Ron Hubbard Way that day is a scientologist -- and a large … [Read more...]

      Lots of found parking spaces and caught the green light... There's been a pretty big devaluation of "OT phenomena"   AOLA could use some of this... Wonder why these guys who are so good aren't 10X the success of the orgs?   Instead of being on course? Oh my....   Unites? This is the big IAS event this year? Wow   The First Ideal Continent... Just Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane to go for an ideal "Continent" -- but not a single org in India, China, Indonesia etc. Seems just a little bit of a hollow … [Read more...]

This is the Freewinds — It’s Always About the Money

July 15, 2020 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

What the Freewinds has been reduced to... Hawking virtual seminars with AMAZING (all caps) "new speakers". Though there is not a single new speaker among them? And of course, they are all offering "business" expansion seminars -- they disguise their "learn how to make money" pitches as "expansion." Some talk about "prosperity" and one even explains that you can become the "Master of All Universes." Everything these guys is selling is designed to make it possible for you to pay for scientology. It's expensive. Especially when you get to the highest levels. People need hundreds of … [Read more...]

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/

Because everyone is currently in love with Tom cruise again due to maverick and have conveniently forgotten he’s a weird little carnival barker for a dangerous cult, here’s your reminder to check out #ScientologyTheAftermath on Netflix!

Happy, happy birthday @LeahRemini, my sister of choice. May the coming year be even more fulfilling and successful than the last. Your courage, work ethic, passion, loyalty and empathy inspires me. Love you Leelee.
