Dirk Niblick just put up an interesting comment quoting from "The Wake Up Call." For those who may not have heard of this -- though if you spent any time in the church and attended even a single event, it is hard to imagine you have NOT -- it is one of Miscavige's favorite "accomplishments." Written after 9/11 it was intended to be the "Come to Jesus" message for the faithful to get busy. It was mostly written by Dan Sherman. Miscavige wanted to put out the issue, but did not plan on writing it himself. So, he called Marc Yager, Greg Hughes, Guillaume Lesevre, Lyman Spurlock, Ray Mithoff, … [Read more...]
Scientologists At War
If you have not yet watched this program, go to his blog and watch it. Though somewhat outdated, it is a pretty objective view of the "Independent Scientology world" a year or so ago. Marty and Tony Ortega were both very good. Thoughtful, intelligent and well-informed. Mosey was magnificent -- calm, rational and cogent. Roast Beef Productions crammed a lot into a little time in a well constructed and edited piece that didnt dip into sensationalism but treated this as a serious issue of religious freedom. Of course, the Church of Scientology looked like abject fools and their statements … [Read more...]
Dani Lemberger Speaks
Dani has earned the right to be heard. He and his wife Tami have put their money where their mouth is with their Dror Center. I have a great deal of respect for their demonstrated personal integrity. In addition to being stand up people, they are a lot of fun to be around. Mike Rinder Ron’s Single Biggest Mistake I got into Scientology at the COSMOD Mission, San Francisco, in April 1980. Didn’t take me long to become an avid Scientologist. I had huge wins on realizing I am an immortal spirit and on going exterior on TR0. I then did the NED Auditor Course, audited another student a … [Read more...]
Scientology Summer Of Love
Here are a couple of recent emails sent out by what can only be classified as rumor-mongers extraordinaire. I am posting them as a matter of interest and to comment on a few things within the confusion bombs they dropped on their "selectees." My of my, with official rumor spreaders like this, who needs SPs to create confusion? Hi Everyone, Reliable rumors have it that Superpower, Cause Resurgence Rundown, Golden Age of Tech 2 and opening of the new delivery building will all happen "soon", with the best rumors being "in July". Some say early July, some late July. Some … [Read more...]
Scientology Disconnection — Where Are The Declare Orders?
This is the third in a series of postings concerning Disconnection. See: Disconnection -- Scientology's Nasty Secret and Who Qualifies To Be Declared? There has been an evolution (devolution) of “Declares” in Corporate Scientology. Some years ago, in order to be "declared" there would be a “Declare Orders.” A recounting of supposed facts and their alleged associated “crimes” would be printed on goldenrod paper (the “colorflash” of the Hubbard Communications Office – home to Ethics) and sent to those concerned and placed on the public notice board. After all, the theory of this was t … [Read more...]
Scientology Vulture Culture: Wall To Wall Regges
This email was just sent out broadly. Apparently there is a new type of Reg now being installed in orgs. "Planetary Dissem" regges have been at Flag for years, the infamous Dick Story sort of created this niche for rip-offs, getting people to donate for distribution of WTH (paying exorbitant prices) or selling special limited edition leatherbound books that theoretically financed "broad dissemination campaigns" (but never did). Now, in another classic "propaganda by redefinition of words" routine, "planetary dissemination" includes FURNITURE for "Ideal Orgs", UNIFORMS for staff, FART TV … [Read more...]
The New Scientology PR Offensive
Should have said the new Scientology PR IS Offensive. Once again it seems the arrogance of the church is going to be put on display for all to see -- exposing the incompetence and false data that pervades "all aspects" of medicine, education, business, economy and religion. And WE of course know, as we ARE the experts on all things. Sooner or later they are going to have to wake up. They are increasingly known as money-grubbing human-rights abusers just a step above pedophiles on the popularity-meter, but they are going to "expose" everyone else for not knowing what they are talking a … [Read more...]
Miscavige on Miscavige: Promises, Promises
One of our Special Correspondents sent me an excerpt of Miscavige's only print media interview. It is of interest for a number of reasons, but most significantly, it makes clear why he is scared of the press. He has no control over revising history with the media as he does with his internal public (try to find an event video in any org on the planet that has Heber Jentzsch or Ray Mithoff in it.... they have been written out of history). There is no mystery why the DVDs of his speeches are guarded like the Crown Jewels and extraordinary measures are taken to prevent anyone from recording wh … [Read more...]
Haydn James: Life Out From Under Corporate Scientology — Freedom!
This is the next in the series of "Life is Good" postings from people who are flourishing and prospering after leaving corporate Scientology. Mike Rinder The freedom to be, do and above all, have Haydn James Well, the nightmares did eventually end. I no longer woke up in a sweat. It was always the same nightmare, always the same scenario – despite being on staff for 31 years and having left staff and the Church of Scientology, I mistakenly thought I had somehow returned and was back in the grip of David Miscavige’s corporate Scientology. But after some months the nightmares ended. Now, e … [Read more...]
Church of Scientology — Ashamed of their Own Websites
Thanks to Karen De LaCarriere and Steve Hall for bringing this to my attention. And kudos to DeathHamster for the good work in documenting the facts for the world to see. Please read this new posting on Steve Hall's site exposing the activities of the Church in putting up hate sites about anyone who dares speak about the RCS or its associated entities.... All those who have been honored with one or more of these sites knows where they come from. But their source is masked because they are so filled with lies and vitriol the church doesnt want to be associated with them. And perhaps is even af … [Read more...]
