The "Ideal Org" in Melbourne (where you can "have it all" -- guitars, Mercedes', kids etc) seems to be having some difficulty locating a few good men. They are advertising on a site called "SeekVolunteer" to try to fill various staff positions. Some of them are quite amusing. But certainly these "volunteers" are not going to be able to "have it all" like the ads promote... You see the Largest Private Relief Force on earth is advertising for volunteers to come help "dispense indiscriminate help"? How strange is that? And offering "free" trips to Japan, Nepal, Taiwan etc. (they … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it today. We all have much to be thankful for. Including the fact that we don’t have to treat anything we read here seriously. Remember most of those still inside the bubble today with compassion and understanding. Many of us have been in their shoes - pretending to be happy and thankful for the only thing that is truly important in this universe (LRH and the tech). Yikes. Hey why not move back there then? If LRH says this is where the next great civilization will spring from there, how come you're not there? You are giving money … [Read more...]

John Oliver on Scientology It's an ongoing joke that makes me laugh week after week... I honestly think this is enough to fulfill the quota for Thursday Funnies all alone. But people have sent me all sorts of other things so I will include them APU. But if you have not yet seen this, take a few minutes and watch. AC/DC I am SURE they would LOVE to be associated with scientology. Rock N Roll is here to stay Apparently this is the new theme for fundraising? Superheros are out. Rock is in. But if this is all they could round up for an Ideal … [Read more...]

They're going all out... It's an ideal Africa coming for sure. Just check out these amazing fundraisers. A monumental moment... ...when they demand you pay up. A catered meal will be served... You know you are expected to pay after that. Get the latest news... And drilling to get you up the Tone Scale -- which happens BEFORE you give the money. It's all downhill from there. Well, if THAT'S your goal... You should really save your money. Only the brave will survive... Actually, only the brave would … [Read more...]
Miscavige Ribbon Yanking Shrinkage
With no fanfare or pre-announcement (scared of being arrested perhaps?), David Miscavige, the True Leader of scientology snuck into Stuttgart and yanked his ribbon. A month ago. He made a quick in and out dash into the danger zone of the Federal Republic of Germany. What is most remarkable is that they managed to get anyone at all to speak on a podium at a scientology event in Germany -- but the "dignitaries" were less than stellar, though they did present a problem in that three of them were quite tall. Even with a forced perspective shot of his standing in front of them, size was … [Read more...]

The most important announcement in history... ...until the next event. And the announcement? "We need more money." We will pay you $12 an hour... or give you a "very upstat and meaningful commendation" A message from Carol Nolan I was the Deputy Command Officer Internal of OSA International for many years. Now I am doing fundraising in Africa. My career path seems to be on the decline... where did I go wrong? Is there any hope? Or is my next stop gig booker for the Jive Aces? He's back! Well, that is a relief. It was only … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Staff Pay
Remember the infamous "You Can Have It All" campaign to join ideal org staff in Melbourne? And the "Every Ideal Org = 10X expansion" hype that has been going on for years? Here is the real truth about "having it all" on staff of an ideal org. This staff member at Pasadena cannot afford the rent for a ROOM. Remember, Pasadena is one of the early "ideal orgs" -- True Leader yanked his ribbon there in July 2010. It is an org that had big whales supporting it, Craig and Sally Jensen (what happened to them??), located right in downtown Pasadena (not in some industrial park) and enjoys one … [Read more...]

Everything is INCREDIBLE and ON FIRE We are fundraising for our construction documents... Woohooo. And the AO Africa is opening (maybe -- been promising that white elephant for a decade now). And that is important because? This is Durban Ideal Org! Not really. It's a hospital where they provide blood transfusions for those who have been sucked dry by the regges... Great news 5 people finished something! With the Howarth's leading the way. One Clear. Likely the only one this year... Join staff now We have the greatest rugby team on the … [Read more...]
Not Making Planetary Clearing A Reality
OK - let’s take a moment and take the planetary Clearing challenge once again. LRH proclaims it's possible, so it must be true right? Don't these amazing "no numbers" graphs prove it? They show them at every event and the sheeple seem to lap them up. Let's ask the experts: How DO you get 327 million Americans to cross the Bridge? How DO you Clear the planet? (not just "make Planetary Clearing a reality") Well, according to scientology postulated math, all you need do is make every org ideal. So, let’s look at the BEST ideal org. The “model” that was touted repeatedly by True … [Read more...]
Headhunters Part II
The reward has gone up! Just last week it was $250 to $500. I wonder where this instant money is coming from? Certainly not from Orlando's Financial Planning Committee... Perhaps they have a whale who is tossing in some bucks (rather than joining staff themselves -- too smart for that I guess). Wonder if anyone is left in the housing they arranged for the Orlando "staff" who were flown in for the grand opening? You can bet that place emptied out a week after the ribbon yanking. They proudly announced at the time they were up to 120 staff. If they have 12 staff today I would be … [Read more...]
