Thank you all for your reports from around the world. These reports provide a snapshot of the Church of Scientology in its current state. This is only a sampling, and I hope that others will continue to send in reports from their areas so this can be added to with more detailed information and it can become a useful source of true information for Scientologists and the media. One of the reasons for doing this is that every time Pinocchio Pouw "speaks", or a church lawyer stands up in court, their Miscavige penned statements drone on about the fabulous international expansion of Scientology … [Read more...]

Dance With Leah
Tonight is the first show of the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Of course, the biggest news of the new season is the inclusion of Leah Remini after her headline making break with the church over disconnection, the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige, and the lies that were told to her. The most recent headlines have centered around her comment on the Ellen show that she "lost a lot of friends" as a result of her brave public departure. It's time to show her how many friends she has made. You can vote after the show airs tonight. It broadcasts on ABC (in the US) at 8pm. Watch the show … [Read more...]
REAL Expansion STATS
One of our Special Correspondents sent in this very well constructed chart. In keeping with recent posts, it highlights once again, USING THE CHURCH'S OWN BOOKS AND WEBSITE, how there is NO EXPANSION anywhere other that supposed Missions in Asia and Russia and former Soviet satellites. There is no real expansion since the mid 90's. Funny, the granting of tax exemption to the churches at the end of 1993 was supposed to have marked the beginning of the golden age of Scientology. At least that is what Miscavige said. He announced that because HE had personally brought the IRS to its … [Read more...]
It’s Straight Up And Vertical!
A denizen of the fringes of the internet (not sure if he or she is unemployed to boot), sent me an email that got me thinking. The message was quite simple: I've been an avid reader of your blog for a long time, and before that your posts on Marty Rathbun's blog. I'd like to let you know about corporate Scientology's straight up and vertical expansion in Houston, a city of over four million people. While Dallas has an Idle Morgue, opened by COB himself, Houston has only a dingy, run down mission, barely visible from the street. The fastest growing religion on Earth has a presence in … [Read more...]
Irish Library Campaign Fail
One of our Special Correspondents conducted a review of the "LRH Books Into Libraries Campaign" in Ireland. Before you review the results, this is another COUNTRY that has been announced as a DONE. These figures come from a study of the computer system used to track books in all Irish libraries. The catalogue of each library in each county were reviewed to find out how many "Basics" and "L. Ron Hubbard Encyclopedia" volumes are actually IN the library system (or ANY other LRH non-fiction title). The breakdown by County follows: Clare: 1, Carlow: 1, Cork: 14, Donegal: 28, Dun Laoghaire Rat … [Read more...]
Big Brother Invites You to Attend
There has been considerable discussion about the email circulated yesterday requiring information be sent in to Wig Adams at Flag for photo ID cards to be issued. Here is the email being sent out from Flag in response to that with a much shorter list of information being asked for. What made the email yesterday so believable is that they ARE in fact planning to issue ID cards to keep the unemployed, bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the internet out of Dave's Palace and Nuremberg Rally Events. See earlier post on this here. Notice the non-committal tone of this email "you re … [Read more...]
Monique Rathbun Sues David Miscavige

The Church of Spin
Miscavige sockpuppet, Karin Pinocchio Pouw is at it again. The "church," as they always do, have turned the Shelly Miscavige missing person report into an excuse to launch more of their patented footbullets. With a straight face, they are alleging to the Hollywood Reporter and other media that this is "ill-advised, ludicrous self-promotion"? Say what? Does anyone in the world, other than the most addicted KoolAid drinker, really believe that filing a missing person report is "ill-advised", or better yet "ludicrous self-promotion". It is clear from the media reports that the … [Read more...]
Scientology Spokespuppet Footbullets
Karin Pinocchio Pouw -- the woman behind the curtain that is the name affixed to the public statements of the man behind the woman behind the curtain, David Miscavige -- has stepped in it once again. Responding to reporter Dana Kennedy in a piece published this morning in the Hollywood Reporter, Pouw/Miscavige once again assert that disconnection does not exist, it is merely a "personal choice." Here is a passage from the article: Karin Pouw, a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology, tellsTHR that there is no such policy of disconnection. "While none of this is a comment about … [Read more...]
