Aaron Smith-Levin did a video about the recent closure of the "Celebrity Centre Munich" and the abandoned St. Pete "Life Improvement Center" opened by the Tampa "Ideal Org." As every good scientologist knows, it is a High Crime in scientology to close or combine orgs. Since David Miscavige has taken over scientology, there have been many other closures and "combinings" -- including St Hill Foundation, specifically started by Ron himself with a lot of policy written by him about why "Foundation" (night and weekend) orgs were needed. Because Aaron … [Read more...]

Back after our Alaska vacation -- which was wonderful. It's a breathtaking experience, unfortunately no photos do justice to its sheer scope and grandeur. There are a few more funnies than usual as it's 2 weeks worth, so some are a little dated: Unimpressive Numbers They really think that 10 OT levels completed in a week is going to accomplish anything? I see only two OTV's and most are OT IV (which along with OT 1 are the fastest levels). One NOT's completion per week is not going to get the 10,000 onto or through Solo NOTs for a LOOOONG … [Read more...]

"Ideal" Continent Will be accomplished by getting buildings renovated for Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Never mind the fact there is not a single org in Indonesia, the Philippines, China, South East Asia, Oceania or the Indian subcontinent. Planetary Clearing is happening! More ideal-y-ness Community and Economic Development? If they're so good at this, how come their own communities are disappearing before their very eyes? They're down to a handful of scientologists in the major cities of S. Africa and you can count them on one hand in … [Read more...]

Unforgettable Performances and Awards That will be forgotten even before the event is over.... Nothing memorable about fundraising pitches, no matter how nutty they are. Leadership and Expansion This guy obviously know all about those topics... that "ideal" org in Bogota is tearing it up. Top Celebrity Guest So big, he or she cannot be named. But what sort of "celebrity" doesn't have their name mentioned? Either someone embarrassed to be associated (so why are they doing it?) or someone who is not in fact anywhere close to a "top celebrity" and … [Read more...]

May 9th Reduced to a "special graduation" Back in the day it was a major event held at the Shrine Auditorium Ideal Scenes and Ideal Orgs It's pretty ideal in the world of scientology. At least in their minds. Well, isn't that theta He learned how to be "light and gentle" on the PTS/SP Course. Must be a different course than I ever saw. Still Going Still a "Class VIII" Still a rimless zero Trying a new angle for some PR points Pretty soon we will be reading that the VM's have "formed a partnership" … [Read more...]

Lots of funnies about the Dear Leader in the Sky this week -- celebrating his birth on this earth, not so much his departure though (come to think of it, why isn't January 24th celebrated as the day he completed his OT work on this prison planet?). All people on this planet? He is helping them by giving money to renovate a building in Cape Town?? Hey Michal, why dont you join the Sea Org? Catching up to the internet era... Aren't they afraid people are going to see things they shouldn't by fishing around with their phones? A … [Read more...]

An International Top Executive Not top enough to be named... But this is going to "blow you away" Never heard that before. Wonder what happened? The WTH "movement" in 2014 seems to have petered out Kiddie Corner Sad 13,000 scientology staff in the world? Not a chance -- but even if there was, each one is responsible for clearing 573,709 people? You want to advertise this? Sounds exciting Not really. Maybe the only way... ...they can pretend they are "allied" with a legitimate … [Read more...]

10 weeks with Arte Maren... People PAY for this? Amount raised - $0 This is her birthday fundraiser that's been up for a year. She is the Snr C/S of the Portland "ideal" org Wait until you find out... Actually you have to pay more to get that ability because you really cannot confront life until you are done with OT III. And then OT V. And then OT VII. And on and on... That's a real stretch... Many of these people OD'd -- First guy on their list, Don Simpson was in scientology for a while. Didn't save him. Buried … [Read more...]

Take Control of Your Mental Health? What if we told you up front that after you pay tens, if not hundreds of thousands to clear the effects of your reactive mind, that you will eventually realize it was something YOU "mocked up"? How would your mental health seem then? Fully In Control of Life From reading a book? At least he/she won't need to waste money on auditing. Focusing on Human Trafficking I bet nobody has let Mona in on the secret that scientology is engaged in systemic human trafficking? And that Columbus org is staffed with … [Read more...]
Scientology Human Rights — An Oxymoron Update
Following up on this piece, Scientology Human Rights -- An Oxymoron, Tampa Bay Times intrepid scientology reporter Tracey McManus managed to speak to a number of the people concerned as covered in the story above. It turns out that Hillsborough County Commissioner Harry Cohen was unaware of any scientology connection. Turns out people who read this blog contacted his office and he then found out about the link. “This isn’t what I thought it was,” Cohen said on Tuesday, confirming he dropped out of the event. “Scientology and a human rights summit, I don’t know they are compatible with one … [Read more...]
