Scientology Kool Aid drinkers prove once again they have absolutely no shame. Any disaster is a good enough reason to insist on taking your money. The church of Scientology LOVES a good shooting or natural cataclysm. Great photo opportunities to send some ringers and a camera crew out, but even better for fundraising "you have to give us money now so we can help the _____ people of ______" (all that money buys is the camera crew, the rest goes to commissions and "reserves"). But Scientology Disaster Capitalism has a new twist. It's not just a good sell for handing over money to the IAS, now … [Read more...]
Scientology Contraction
Thank you all for your reports from around the world. These reports provide a snapshot of the Church of Scientology in its current state. This is only a sampling, and I hope that others will continue to send in reports from their areas so this can be added to with more detailed information and it can become a useful source of true information for Scientologists and the media. One of the reasons for doing this is that every time Pinocchio Pouw "speaks", or a church lawyer stands up in court, their Miscavige penned statements drone on about the fabulous international expansion of Scientology … [Read more...]
Scientology IS Shrinking — More Proof
See the message below. Say goodbye to another Scientology Church. As you might have heard, Celebrity Centre London and the London Ideal Orgs are merging to form London Org & Celebrity Centre!

We need your help! Anyone that can volunteer their time and come to London Org to work on getting the files in order will be most appreciated and commended! We're here from first thing in the morning till last … [Read more...]
REAL Expansion STATS
One of our Special Correspondents sent in this very well constructed chart. In keeping with recent posts, it highlights once again, USING THE CHURCH'S OWN BOOKS AND WEBSITE, how there is NO EXPANSION anywhere other that supposed Missions in Asia and Russia and former Soviet satellites. There is no real expansion since the mid 90's. Funny, the granting of tax exemption to the churches at the end of 1993 was supposed to have marked the beginning of the golden age of Scientology. At least that is what Miscavige said. He announced that because HE had personally brought the IRS to its … [Read more...]
Dante’s Inferno — Scientology Style
Here is the ultimate admission that corporate Scientology has arrived at its final destination. Giving money IS the new auditing. Turning over cash provides "case gain", confers remarkable abilities and powers on you and it gives you status (at least according to the endless stream of promotion, emails, videos and events). Everything anyone could ever want from a journey to spiritual enlightenment and "truth revealed". The descent into MEST -- which is after all what money represents and that old saying is very true, money can't buy you happiness (or love if you follow the Beatles … [Read more...]
Voldemort Tent Update August 30
Well, you will be happy to hear, that like Jack Nicholson in The Shining, He's back. (Had to make a trip to Los Angeles to meet with lawyers to try and figure out how to wriggle out of the Monique Rathbun lawsuit). But in His absence there was lots of excitement in downtown Clearwater over His tent. Actually, over the illegal destruction of two live oak trees to make way for the tent. He no doubt issued the order to chop down the trees when He was not in town so he couldnt receive any embarrassing phone calls from the city. Interestingly, none of the reports, even Tony Ortega himself, r … [Read more...]
Miscavige’s Motto
Finally, some (accidental) truth in advertising. This IS what the orgs and "Humanitarians" have been led to believe "If you build it, they will come" -- so it's interesting to see it being stated overtly. But it is NOT the whole truth. The truer statement would be the actual Miscavige Motto -- "If you build it, they will believe me." THAT campaign has worked with the sheeple. They DO believe that the purchase and renovation of buildings is proof of massive international expansion. It even worked with some media for a while (you never see ANY statement from the church that doesnt include how … [Read more...]
Another Disconnection Tragedy
So many responses to yesterday's post about disconnection. Gayle Smith just posted a comment that I feel deserves not to be overlooked. I am making it it's own post. Disconnection What I can say about it? It feels like so little because mere words fail me to convey the significance of its damage. I’ve come close to the edge more than once because of it. I’ve been spun in by it. I’ve come close to giving everything up because of it. What if you disconnected from your own son and never got to say “I love you” again? What if you discover that the reason a loved one left the Church of Sciento … [Read more...]
The OC is On Fire! Updated with Shots Of Bustling Org
Note: there was no Graduation last nite due to a special Sea Org only event "for SO Day" but I bet Voldemort was just not feeling in the mood after his weekus horribilus. So. instead we have some news from across the country. Hundreds of thousands of dollars and a year after the OC "Ideal Org" finally opened, their Non E campaign is off the ground. And boy, the news is amazing! They got a donation from someone in NEW YORK. They put up billboards around Disneyland (stupidest place ever -- the people at Disney are TOURISTS, NOT their public) and, wait for it, as they saved the really big … [Read more...]
Prices Are Going Up While We Are Going Down!
The Smiths are at it again -- throwing out more confusion and hidden data to try to drum up some business. Not only is Miscavige planning the super extravaganzapalooza of amazingness to blow the minds of the sheeple with Super Power, Cause Resurgence, GAG II, the meter, dictionary and a whole new building in a circus tent with fireworks, dancing elephants and clowns, he also plans to make a shitload more money with price "changes" (increases) as it just wouldn't be fair to let people "rocket up the Bridge faster than ever, ever, ever" without making them pay more for the privilege of getting … [Read more...]
