Somehow this just seems wrong When are they going to hold a Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of The Hole? Nashville is not rocking This has been an "ideal" org now for SIX YEARS and they JUST got a CCRD auditor and C/S. So much for "clearing their area." And so much for the "lightning fast" training promised with GAG II in November 2013 when all the trainees went for their "short" training program. Monumental breakthroughs! Earth shaking I am sure. Where has TC's brother in law been all these months? Food, glorious food Seems this … [Read more...]
Ron’s Journal 30
Yesterday, commenter Valerie made reference to LRH ED 301, Ron's Journal 30 in a comment. She sent me a copy of the issue and I glanced through it for the first time in a while. Looking at it newly, with the water that has passed beneath my bridge since the last time it had come to my attention, gave me pause about a few things. First, there are those who would say that everything written in here is the gospel truth, and it has all been altered by David Miscavige. But that is a very shallow view. It is undeniable that there are statements in this writing that are just not true. They … [Read more...]
OT Gobbledygook
You can handled ANYTHING with Solo NOTs. Except your finances. Connection to your family. The ever-shrinking orgs of scientology. The terrible PR scientology has everywhere. And pretty much anything else. 3 DECADES of bypassed charge handled with his first drilling of a can squeeze! That is really something, especially after saying how wonderful and stable it is to be an "OT V." 1 Solo NOT's completion per day. OMG. At this rate, they will have 1000 every 3 years. 10,000 in THIRTY YEARS. They don't even seem to notice how bizarre their statements are. I … [Read more...]
Freewinds “Religious Retreat”
The Freewinds is supposed to be the "top of the Bridge" where OT VIII is delivered to the teeming masses faithfully following the only path to spiritual freedom. It is the "advanced religious retreat" off the crossroads of the world. But the reality is that this ship, like the "ideal orgs" is an overkill of magnificent proportions. To accommodate the OT VIII population (scientology boasts "one completion every other day" in 2015) would not even fill the SS Minnow on Gilligan's Island. And this ship is manned with a full crew of "ship" Sea Org members who run the actual vessel, a full … [Read more...]
How Big Is Scientology Really?
Every now and then scientology accidentally exposes the truth about their actual size in their own words. Super Power was released in November 2013. This is after it had been promoted for 30 years. There was an enormous backlog of people who had been regged for the service over that time that were all now able to partake in the miracle. And it is a service that EVERY scientologist can do no matter where they are on the Bridge. It is something everyone is EXPECTED to do. And it can ONLY be done in one place. Flag. So the count of how many people complete it is a pretty good … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Another week of fun in the bubble. Eight Orgs-One Cause Get your money any way we can. Charging $75 for a "convention" featuring a singer, dancer, actor nobody has heard of is a good start. About the same as the Ellie Goulding tickets we bought recently. I know which show I would prefer. And just a note, why don't they get Toronto done? They have owned that building since the 70's. It's an "ideal building" and they have had it for 40 years... It's always about the money Food, glorious food Seems to be about the only thing happening in … [Read more...]
The World’s Largest “Ideal Org”
Another bizarre cow pie just landed splat in my inbox.... And as with everything else in scientology, the goalposts area moving target. Today's news may or may not be completely at odds with what was said yesterday, but the sheeple never seem to notice. The last announcement about the world's largest ideal org was that LA Org held that distinction. Guess not. At least not for this week. So, now you know, the "world's largest ideal org on the planet" is Milano. As announced by the redundancy department of redundancy. And then the next oddity -- they're holding one HUGE showing - … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
This week is dominated by two orgs on the endless quest to become "ideal" -- Miami and Edinburgh. But plenty of other fun too. Ridiculously amazing Ridiculously: so as to invite mockery or derision; absurdly. Amazing: causing great surprise or wonder How to handle a speeding ticket? Scientology is absolutely certain L. Ron Hubbard has taught them everything Master Your Control, Communication and Havingness with the 16th American ACC Lectures LRH tells a workable technique for reading people’s minds. Lecture Obnosis Learn what happens to your control of time when you ar … [Read more...]
SuMP Suckers
You sort of have to feel for the people that buy into the SuMP (Scientology Media Productions) pitches, and this woman has obviously jumped in with both feet. Instead of getting her roof fixed, she gives money for SuMP. A completely useless activity that serves no purpose other than as a hook to get money. And she actually believes that "we changed the whole dynamic in South America with WTH". And then the "media is all distorted" so you cannot rely on them to report about this massive success of changing Colombia, they never get it right. So, the ONLY source of "true information" is D … [Read more...]
The Truth About Scientology Staff
You may have seen something I put in the Thursday Funnies about how Tampa "model ideal double St Hill size" org is working on making it viable to be on staff. This is a another of the whopper lies in scientology -- somehow these organizations that charge people hundreds of dollars AN HOUR for services, do not have money to give a decent wage to staff members. Most live on income levels that are unsustainable without: a) a spouse or someone else who supports them or b) they work a second and sometimes third job in their "spare" time -- usually for a local scientologist. This working on … [Read more...]
