Though there has been an "official L. Ron Hubbard biographer" since I first hired him in 1991, there is still no L. Ron Hubbard biography. "LRH biographer" or more often now "The Biographer", Dan Sherman spends his days penning prolix fluffery for David Miscavige to read from a teleprompter at his "international events" and Ideal Org ribbon yankings. Over the span of 25 years, the silver mullet and his team of biographical "researchers", headed by Andy Lenarcic, have gathered an enormous amount of information, photographs and artifacts about the life of L. Ron Hubbard. They have … [Read more...]
The Real State of Scientology, St Louis Style
It's been a year since St Louis org sent out the last edition of their magazine (Clear View) that included recent course and auditing completions. St. Louis "services" many surrounding states, including the eastern half of Missouri. Western Kentucky, Southern Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas. St. Louis itself has a population of nearly 3 million. Here is what they have accomplished in the last year. Donna Williams by the way is a staff member at the org. And the girl at the bottom, Allie Lane, was raised in Scientology. She is the daughter of STL Org Executive Director Chad Lane. Needed to … [Read more...]
Danish Kids in Danger
Something needs to be done about this. Apparently Danish schools believe their children are going to be educated by hearing a lecture from the DSA and watching "An Introduction to Scientology"... This would be like "educating" children about child sex abuse by having them attend a briefing by a representative of NAMBLA. If you are in Denmark, perhaps you can do something about this. Unless these kids are provided a balanced perspective with all the information, this may result in them being lured into scientology sometime in the future. And while we are here, those stats are nothing … [Read more...]
Black PR Around Scientology?
OMG surely not, with the advent of ScientologyTV there is black PR in the air? Your questions answered? I wonder if they will address these: How come we have ideal orgs and they are empty? Why are there no NEW orgs? Why are there no new missions? How come nobody is curious? Where is OT IX and X? Can you show me a mf Clear? If the tech works 100% of the time, where is everyone? Why no new celebs in scientology for 2 decades or more -- what are they doing at CC? Why don't we ever see our OWN governments adopting LRH tech -- how come it's always somewhere we have never heard … [Read more...]
Scientology Fake Photo Shoot
They actually sent this out. Perhaps the most blatant admission ever that their photo ops are staged fake news. No doubt this photo (if they actually got anyone there) will be touted as evidence of how booming things are with “10x the number of graduates at ASHO” or some other blatant lie. What is so amazing is that the participants become willing partners in the deception, almost proud that they are helping to show the world how scientology is expanding. … [Read more...]
Scientology TV Bombing Badly
While there is no way of getting actual audience figures for Scientology TV, there are some available metrics which give some idea. I did a recent blog post about this. Now here are some more unalterable statistical truths. Google tracks interest in websites and gives them global rankings, with #1 being the most popular site on the web, and higher numbers indicate descending volume of traffic. Scientology has spent millions and millions promoting "Scientology.org" -- on billboards, in online ads, TV ads and now featured prominently on "Scientology TV." Every infomercial and ad on … [Read more...]
Stolen Valor
Scientology has a habit of trying to gain credibility by aligning themselves with legitimate organizations and causes, making it seem they are part of it. They are imposters, seeking to gain goodwill or some other advantage by preying on the good name of others. Recently my daughter, Taryn Teutsch, has been attempting to inveigle herself into the #MeToo movement with crazy and false claims that I am a "wife-beater" -- and after it was pointed out that "wife-beating" isn't what that movement is about, she then began claiming I "raped" my ex-wife. Odd this allegation only just surfaced, 11 … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Interesting, there seem to b as many, if not more, pitches for people to join staff this week than give money. A first ever. They must be feeling the pinch. After all, there has not been a St Hill Size org made for decades, and the ones they announced previously have all shrunk... Dinner and a show The Ft Harrison is obviously empty -- the numbers on Super Powerz and the Running Around a Pole Rundown have shrunk from even their original small number as they have chewed through all existing scientologists on earth. Soon they will be offering paid seminar weekends … [Read more...]
Flag is BOOMING (In their minds)
This is a report from the Flag local door-knocking campaign to "recover" all the people who have faded from view. Recognize that even these paltry figures are padded. Nobody reports "stats" in scientology without inflating them to make it seem like things are better. Probably the vast majority of the numbers represented here came from knocking on the door of members of the OT Committee and asking them what service they put their children on over the summer holidays. But even with that in mind -- this is very revealing. Since January 2018 they have managed to get 569 people onto a … [Read more...]
Scientology TV (Cult Shopping Network) Fail
Despite what scientology says, apparently people are NOT "Curious?" At least not to hear the official propaganda from scientology. The problem with the internet is that it makes it so much harder to hide your bs. This is an image from Google Trends. It is not doctored. It's not lies from bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the internet. It is available for anyone in the world to see (including the scientologists). No bias. Just raw numbers comparing the interest in scientology tv to the interest in Scientology The Aftermath (don't forget, The Aftermath is not currently airing … [Read more...]
