A lot of people are curious about the "CF filing" that scientology obsesses over. It is a mystery to many of the uninitiated, though certainly anyone who has been around an org knows about CF and its perpetual backlog of filing. "Central Files" is a Hubbard invention to keep track of everyone that has ever bought a book or taken a service in a scientology organization. Each person has a file folder (or many as time goes on) that includes copies of all invoices (yes, invoices for payments are still written with colored copies to be filed in Accounts Files, Student and PC Files and Central … [Read more...]
Scientology “Facts”
This is a page from the Int Scientology News "New Years" edition where they repeat what was said at the New Years event for the few hundred remaining scientologists who managed to ignore the dozens of phone calls, visits, texts and emails about attending the video showing of the annual spectacle of bullshit. A big feature of every Miscavige Event is numbers. Strange numbers. Weird "factoids" that you cannot wrap your mind around as you sit at the event. Marc Yager ("Cueball" to Miscavige, who loves calling people by derogatory names) is the master of this technique. It's an official … [Read more...]
The Hungary Games
Things are not looking up for scientology in Hungary. This is the call that went out recently, and it is enlightening just how much trouble they are in: HUNGARY NEEDS OUR HELP TO SECURE THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM! Dear fellow Scientologists, Hungary's freedom to practice religion freely - particularly Scientology - is in danger and needs immediate help. The Hungarian government is currently working to suppress the right of Scientologists to practice our religion in Hungary. They literally have pad locked the doors to the PC folder room at the Budapest Org with an alarm system that a … [Read more...]
Scientology Shriveling
With great fanfare, scientology screams "expansion" every time they cut the ribbon on an old org relocated to an expensive new building. Recently we saw one of their upcoming projects, Perth "ideal" org, talking about how they are going to be clearing "Malasia", Singapore and Indonesia. There is no thought of opening ORGS in these countries. Instead, they desperately fundraise to buy a new building for a small, failing org that has ALWAYS been small and failing and proudly proclaim this will herald a new era in countries thousands of miles away. Pure insanity. Remember when … [Read more...]
Ireland — Seriously?
For the latest proof that the "ideal org" strategy has NOTHING to do with "clearing the planet" but is simply a real estate, money making scheme and PR campaign for internal scientologists, look no further than the "ideal org" of Ireland. Here is a new pitch they sent out which I have highlighted to note some significant points. First thing to note: this "org" is being sponsored by the IAS -- they must need to invest in some more real estate to satisfy IRS requirements. But that "sponsorship" is ONLY to buy the building and renovate it. NOT to "set up" the "ideal org" because this … [Read more...]
Still Waiting for Scientology OTs to Change the World
A day late due to extenuating circumstances, but here is this week's installment from Terra Cognita Still Waiting for Scientology OTs to Change the World All Scientology Operating Thetans—OTs—are handed the responsibility of clearing their environments after returning home from Flag and the Freewinds. They’re expected to transform their local communities—ideally, into some sort of Scientology-based utopia. If that’s too much, tidying up their neighborhoods and/or giving touch assists to Uncle Dick is helpful. At the least, walking Rex more regularly is good for their Fifth Dynamic. Before … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
Some recent notes from the Valley Ideal Org OT Committee. A few things of note (and there is a lot more to be gleaned from these notes): They have stopped including stats They have the same old same old people attending their meetings it would appear the opening of the new "ideal org" changed nothing. They are back to working on "CF" and collecting money for other ideal orgs The stats at the bottom of this posting show that for AN ENTIRE YEAR Valley org had 6 new public start on service and $208,000 in VSD (less than one intensive of auditing a week) - for this they invested … [Read more...]
Austin Org
One of our regular readers stopped by the Austin Org yesterday, since he was town for the day. Here is his report: There was an unstaffed table out front under their awning (their façade is back a few feet from the street), with some free movie tickets, free personality tickets, and brochures sitting under rocks so they wouldn’t blow away. They looked like they had been there awhile, a bit wrinkled. There were a couple of older posters in the windows, one for OCA. I spoke with Barbara McFadyen who has been in for decades. She is apparently an OT VIII who appears to … [Read more...]
Form Letters
Desperation in the bubble. The "senior" officials of the senior orgs of scientology are sending out form letters begging people to show up at "special briefings" about how orgs are going to "clear their zone"/"go St Hill size now." Wait, I thought that with the ribbon being yanked on "ideal orgs" there comes automatic "10X expansion"? Inglewood has been "ideal" now for years. SFO for much longer than that. Tens of millions of tax free dollars expended... And they are NOT clearing their zones? And are NOT St Hill size? Dear Leader has been selling the ideal orgs strategy for 15 years … [Read more...]
The 10X “Ideal Org” Expansion
The expansion is R eally setting in at the largest Ideal Org on earth, where, a month after their glorious ribbon yanking that heralded the dawn of clearing their zone, they are taking North Hollywood by storm. Check out the amazing accomplishments they are so excited about: There are "some" new people who started on a service out of the 20 total. I guess the number was too large to actually count if you only have two fingers so they settled in "some" which sounds better than 3 "Many" people are "completing a course and resigning for more." How amazing is that? And the huge new … [Read more...]
