Remember these posters above featuring Atlanta as the exemplary "ideal org" that had expanded by 10X upon having its ribbon yanked? Well, here is the REALITY ... We have seen a few of the "Letter Reg" letters from Atlanta over the years. This is just the latest. It comes with a bit of back story that indicates the desperation level of this empty org. The recipient of this letter, Doug, was only at Atlanta once in his life for about 3 days. They have been chasing him for YEARS, trying to “recover” him. They don't even know his LAST NAME! Yet, still they pursue him all … [Read more...]
An “Ideal” and “St Hill Size” Org Struts Its Stuff
Presented personally by Mr. David Miscavige with both "Ideal Org'" AND "St Hill Size" status, Joburg org epitomizes the pinnacle of scientology organizations on earth (not counting the artificially inflated Tampa Org that is home to the many Flag rejects and people trying to avoid Flag registrars). And here we see what they are so proud of: 2 Clears in one week and one person “flying through his training” — apparently they didn’t have a single course completion to announce in the same week as the 2 Clears. This is the best. of the best. And compared to other scientology orgs, it is. … [Read more...]
Crazy “Source” Quotes
Scientologists love to quote L. Ron Hubbard (or “Source” as he liked to be referred to) for literally everything. If Source pronounced it, then it is holy truth. If he said he had visited Heaven or Mars or psychs came from an evil planet called Farsec or you wash windows with newspaper -- these things were literally true. They choose odd things to extract from his writings and "speakings" -- sometimes they are completely out of context and have no meaning whatsoever, sometimes they are grandiose pronouncements of the importance of scientology and his technology, other times they are … [Read more...]
How Big is “St Hill Size”
There is a lot of mention of "St Hill Size" in scientology. It is one of the great catchphrases that motivates the sheeple "We are going St Hill Size," heard almost as often as "We are Clearing the planet" (but not as often as "will that be cash or check?"). But what exactly does St Hill Size mean and why is it important? St Hill is the name of the estate in Sussex, England that L. Ron Hubbard bought in 1959 and converted into the international headquarters of scientology. There were "difficulties" in the US and he decided the UK was a safer operating climate. That lasted for a few … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
A bit delayed due to the news of the shooting in Inglewood Org. The victim/perpetrator must have been a scientologist as Eddie Parkin and the STAAD League have not taken to Twitter to blame The Aftermath for inciting the "hate crime". Their top story is still the Christchurch massacre. Eddie seems to go into hibernation when there are no new episodes of The Aftermath airing (which speaks volumes about the actual reason they exist...) Disaster Response Training In other words, instructions on how to hand out WTH, pick up trash and do nerve assists. What does this … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
An evening that will change your life... Barbara Rubio? Seriously? I dont know these other women but "hearing what it's like to be up both sides of the Bridge" must be some sort of code for "don't end up like me" The Warriors... All 3 of them. Under the guidance of a full time Sea Org mission. Wow. Still using Brutus I suspect this is about as far from what Brutus wants as possible.... I guess these really ARE the only 3 people they can round up. I can grant you personal immortality... Ermmm, I thought that was a given? Begs the … [Read more...]
Auckland “Ideal Org” – Not Booming
Here is some new news from the "booming" ideal org in Auckland. Remember, this is the PROMOTION they send out -- it is what they are proud of. 3 completions. Yes, THREE. They should be having 3 completions per hour and even then would not be St Hill Size. This is how far they are from being a viable concern. I love the optimism of "save your seat" -- they are literally wandering around in an empty building... And finally, the ever delusional "we are going St Hill Size" and that they are "a new movement on earth"... This is pure idiocy. If they can round up 50 … [Read more...]

Empty Buildings, Empty Promises
The saga of empty "ideal" orgs continues. Miscavige shows up to yank his ribbon, they import people from out of town to make a "crowd" -- always inflated by a factor of at least 5 -- they take photos and video and then the circus leaves and things settle back into the normal void on nothingness it always was. Except the few footsteps echo in large, deserted marble halls now, instead of the moldy carpets of an old strip mall. Desperate to get anyone to come into their empty palace, they start promoting for people to hold "events and functions" -- because they don't know what else to do … [Read more...]
St Louis Blues – An Epic Ideal Org Scam
In truth, every "ideal org" is a scam -- but some are scammier than others. Boston comes to mind. New Haven and Battle Creek that have sat empty and neglected for more than a decade. But St Louis might be the greatest scam of idealiness of all. In terms that scientologists can really relate to -- it is epic, monumental and watershed. Here are a few relevant details: In 2007 scientology bought a new building that was to become their "ideal org." In 2010, the org ED, Chad Lane, announces in the St Louis Post Despatch * "the nearly 65,000 sq.ft. building is the ideal size for expansion in … [Read more...]
