It is always interesting to see the publicly available information from some of these orgs -- standing in stark contrast to the PR lies that are spouted at the "international events." The New York Ideal Org has a Facebook page where they keep track of each Clear they make. As you can see, one of their staff members attested to Clear a couple of weeks ago. It's the latest entry on their FB page. But they are very diligent about announcing their clears -- apart from a few random posts about CCHR or the Birthday Event, it is pretty much all that appears on this FB page (which by the way, … [Read more...]
Missions Impossible
The world of scientology missions is even grimmer than scientology orgs. Here is the latest news from the "ideal" Mission in Ocala. This Mission was opened by John Travolta and Kelly Preston in their hometown as a gift to the community. They fully renovated a building and it was one of the first "ideal" missions. There were a few "celebrity" that came before it: Jenna Elfman in SOMA SFO opened to great fanfare and now an empty shell. Anne Archer's Santa Monica Mission - opened and then closed almost as fast. Isaac Hayes and Lisa Marie Presley in Memphis - sold off by Benetta Slaughter and … [Read more...]
Bubbles’ Durban Disaster
Here is the other promo featuring Kaye "Bubbles" Champagne doing her bit for the Durban org. The crowd size speaks volumes -- they managed to scrape together 12 staff and public to attend the special seminar from the head of the FLAG OT Committee. They haven't seen anyone this important in Durban org since never. And they had 12 people to show her Durban Determinism to Clear the Planet. Yet they are so proud of this turnout they put out a promo piece documenting it. Straight up and vertical expansion at a level never before seen. And it is all happening because of the brilliant guidance of t … [Read more...]
The Hype for “Saint Hill Size”
This concept of St Hill size is often talked about. Here we have the CO of the Flag Ship Service Org, the most expensive failed org in the history of scientology, telling people that she is sending someone to explain to them how they are going to go Saint Hill size RIGHT NOW. Hahaha. In scientology, TALK substitutes for reality. They talk themselves into believing their own hype. That "planetary clearing is a reality" or "we are expanding like never before" or "the Golden Age of tech is flooding people up the Bridge" etc There are numerous variations of the self-affirmation technique … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Answer to Perfect Recall: The File Clerk
Another in the ongoing series of essays from Terra Cognita Scientology’s Answer to Perfect Recall: The File Clerk Is it just mine or is your file clerk on sabbatical, too? Apparently, my guy’s been on vacation from just after I first walked through the front doors of that mission years ago. The file clerk I’m talking about is the one LRH described in DMSMH, who’s able to go back and grab any of the trillions of incidents on one’s time track—the consecutive record of mental image pictures, from “when it all began” to present time. All that’s necessary is to “direct” this little gu … [Read more...]
Miscavige Broken Promises
The string of promises concerning "planetary clearing" and ideal orgs is a long one. But perhaps nowhere illustrates the miserable failure of this "planet clearing strategy" than South Africa. The "Kyalami Castle" referred to above is the empty building that was purchased in 2008 to be the home of the "new AO Africa." (Similar buildings were purchased in Canada and Mexico to "open" AO Canada and AO Mexico - they too remain abandoned shells). Eight years later, this building remains unused. Except to hold pep rallies (read fundraisers) every now and then. That this particular empty … [Read more...]
How To Handle “Negative News”
Here is an email circulating in the scientology bubble. From: Vern Jones Sent: Friday, March 03 Subject: Handling Entheta in the News I recently have been experimenting with handling the amount of entheta news displayed on the CNN home page I use. As most know, home pages usually carry an array of news stories in various categories. I suspect that they keep stats (numbers of hits or clicks) and then increase the selection to similar ones to those that receive the greatest number of hits or clicks. This is an online marketing method that I am convinced is also used for the … [Read more...]
Seattle Ideal Org Open 12 Hours A Week
Things are progressing pretty slowly on "the wholesale Clearing of our area" when they are only working at it 12 hours a week. As with many other "ideal" orgs -- they have been moved away from the city center. They are not the worst, they are in the fairly near suburbs. Some have ended up in industrial parks and alongside freeways where there is no body traffic. The volume of people walking past orgs has traditionally been a measure of their likelihood of success. "Body routing" line has always been one of the few methods of attracting new people into scientology. You see the staff from … [Read more...]
S.T.A.A.D
Scientology launched a new website on 26 February 2017. Obviously it is a reaction to the tsunami of negative press they have been getting. Scientology has become the butt of so many jokes there is no way of keeping track of them all. But it was perfect timing for this to appear the same day as Jimmy Kimmel's crack in his opening monologue at the Academy Awards. Frankly, the new site is just a gussied up version of Freedom Mag. Much the same content and similar lofty sounding objectives rehashed to somehow look different: The truth is that it is a thinly veiled … [Read more...]
Lies Scientology Recruiters Tell You
Many people wonder how people in this day and age are recruited into the Sea Org. If you have Google, I think the chances are that you might check it out before you sign a billion year contract for anything. And that is part of the answer as to who the few are that join the SO today. SO recruits come from two buckets: A. People in less fortunate countries in Eastern Europe and Venezuela who are offered a visa to the US, room, board and a job. B. Children of scientologists. The first category are pretty easy to understand. If you lived in Ukraine and had someone tell you … [Read more...]
