Johannesburg “Ideal” Org — Truth Revealed first published 2 April 2013

March 8, 2020 By Mike Rinder 12 Comments

See my announcement on Friday -- I am revisiting earlier posts during my vacation. Each day there will be a different one. This details the reality of an ideal org from an insider at the time. Things have only gone downhill since....   I have written a number of articles concerning the Miscavige “Ideal Orgs” scam. I have compared it to policy and shown it is squirrel. I have pointed out how it has destroyed the LRH Birthday Game and the idea of staff moving up to OT. But this write up puts everything into perspective. Strip away the hype and hoopla, the lies and false … [Read more...]

  Twin Cities is #1 Seriously? 37 weeks at number 1 speaks volumes as to the state of scientology. This place is deader than a doornail... and they are the best.     Few Apply, All Are Chosen And why do you always leave out the bit about terrible pay in the middle?   Why no mention of Scientology? It's being held at Joburg Org. According to Google maps that is the corner of Langermann Dr and Grays St. They can't even get the address right?   They spelled it right one this one...   Celebrate 10 years of … [Read more...]

More on Ventura

February 24, 2020 By Mike Rinder 75 Comments

A tidal wave of Shermanspeak engulfed Ventura county as scientology's Dear Leader yanked his ribbon in front of his latest real estate investment in an industrial area next to a freeway. The screaming headline at scientology.org is typical: SCIENTOLOGY IDEAL ORG RISES LIKE A LEGENDARY KING WAVE IN VENTURA’S SURF CITY And it goes downhill from there. This is a "Seaside" Grand Opening that marks a milestone for Scientology’s spectacular growth across the Golden State. Growth?? Where? Every org is struggling and there are less missions than ever... The smarmy surfing language continues: … [Read more...]

California is All Ideal

February 23, 2020 By Mike Rinder 52 Comments

The great ribbon yanking ceremony was held at the Ventura industrial facility yesterday, and they came from all over the United States to witness the wonder of Dear Leader spouting Shermanspeak. A special correspondent was there to get some shots -- though of course, scientology had done their best to keep the prying eyes of wogs and malcontents from getting anywhere close to the "festivities". Our correspondent reports they had blocked off the road where the Org is. Security was across the freeway and all along the road attempting to prevent those damned public from seeing what was … [Read more...]

  On the road again... Mystery ailments and a mystery cure. Who said scientology doesn't cure physical conditions? She can drive again!     This quote is not about joining staff... Typical, they can't even get their quotes from Ron right   Talking Half-Heads? What happened here?   Another young life wasted... But she was an employee of Grant Cardone, so it's not a whole lot different. She just won't have as much free time or money.   This is all they could muster? A CLO, an AOSH and an Ideal Org and the best shots they … [Read more...]

More Tampa Org Fail & Ventura Pix

February 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

(Note: this came in a few weeks ago and I overlooked it). I have done a few recent posts about the state of the two best ideal orgs on earth -- the artificial "model Class V" org in Los Angeles that is manned by 200 Sea Org members (who will be there regardless if they are doing anything that generates even enough income to support their $50 a week "wages") and the other artificial "model Class V St Hill Size" org in Tampa that lives off the crumbs from Flag. The people who do not qualify for Flag services are sent there. The Flag public have their children join staff there to avoid them … [Read more...]

Closing Orgs in “The Greatest Era of Expansion in Scientology History”

February 18, 2020 By Mike Rinder 101 Comments

There has been some discussion on the blog of late about Day and Foundation Orgs. It is an interesting topic in the face of scientology's bold statements about their "greatest expansion in history." I have commented that almost all of the Foundation Orgs have been closed by Miscavige as he rolls forward with his "ideal orgs" real estate investment scheme. Newcomers to the subject of scientology may not understand what this terminology means, so I thought I would be provide you with some "source" on the subject, taken out of OEC Volume 7 which contains a section about the "Foundation … [Read more...]

An “All Ideal Cali”

February 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 63 Comments

Somehow, they are focusing on the number of staff needed for this to be an "ideal org". There has always been a rush to try to get people to sign up for staff, and the opening of an ideal org is the only real excuse they have. They tell people that with their ideal org they will suddenly have a massive influx of public and everyone will earn a living wage. It never happens. The only people who can exist on staff are those who have some other form of surviving with no money -- they live with their parents or they have a spouse that works a normal job, or they got an inheritence or someone … [Read more...]

“New” Scientology Churches in the Last Decade — “Expansion” Debunked

January 15, 2020 By Mike Rinder 62 Comments

This is an article that recently appeared on scientology.org -- and it proves scientology "expansion" is slower now than it was 10 years ago, even when measured by their ridiculous standard of number of buildings renovated. Here is what is listed in this article of the scientology churches around the world (not the CLO's or AO's):   2010   JAN 23, 2010 -- Brussels JAN 30, 2010 -- Quebec City FEB 6, 2010 -- Las Vegas APR 24, 2010 -- Los Angeles (not even a new building?) JUL 10, 2010 -- Mexico City JUL 18, 2010 -- Pasadena JUL 24, 2010 -- … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Decade

January 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 60 Comments

  Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year's Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of  "Standing O" calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on sentence. At the outset, let's remember that the "turn of the decade/century" event in 1999 was held at the LA Sports Arena -- a FAR larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium. Given the unprecedented, massive, straight up and vertical expansion they claim to have … [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.

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
