Holiday Funnies

December 24, 2020 By Mike Rinder 28 Comments

A special edition of the Funnies just for the holidays. There is an apparently endless stream of "Holiday" promotion -- though scientology of course does not recognize Jesus as anything but part of the "R6 bank."   Virtual Freewinds Wouldn't you like to be at the Freewinds for the holidays? So, to entice you to go there, they are holding a virtual concert in Los Angeles? WTF?   Virtual Hawaii And the point of this? Strictly a fundraiser obviously. What does Bodhi Elfman have to do with Christmas? Or Hawaii? Or anything at all?   Well, they are going to … [Read more...]

What Is Needed?

October 18, 2020 By Mike Rinder 94 Comments

What is needed? You don't need to tune in to get an answer to this question. It is IAS Anniversary event month and there is no IAS event. They are scrambling... Money, money, money is what is needed. It’s the only thing that is ever needed. “We need to keep our 4th dynamic campaigns going that are helping billions of people every week... blah blah blah” Hubbard laid it out: MAKE MONEY. MAKE MORE MONEY. MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PRODUCE SO AS TO MAKE MONEY. Scientology is exclusively about money. If an activity does not generate income it dies a very fast death in the scientology … [Read more...]

All-American Hero

September 10, 2020 By Mike Rinder 36 Comments

This guy is an "icon" and "all-American hero" because he has given some of his ill-earned cash to ideal org campaigns, but more so because he has persuaded others to part with their money. Who can forget his wacked out video on Tony Ortega's site: "You're going to pay this money fucking eventually"? It is an interesting microcosm of the crazy world of scientology that this is what is lauded.  He is a hero figure for scientology. The ONLY criteria for being a hero, humanitarian, icon, champion or any other title you can think of is giving money. While Hubbard said it was the "lowest … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

January 23, 2020 By Mike Rinder 44 Comments

  One of these 3 didn't get the message Arms folded is the only way to go. All of them missed the memo about not smiling.   Narconon not flourishing They are disappearing from the face of the earth....   We finally made 2 Clears We have to tell the world with a special promotional item because it's such a rare thing...   Like really rare... So we made ANOTHER poster for the same person.   The St Lucia Sickle Cell Association hasn't done their homework... Or they are just really hard up for a place to show a … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

January 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 56 Comments

  That Cristian Vargas sure gets around... He seems to be the only person organizing events these days?   Big news From a "former" investigative reporter and a retired Army officer. I am sure they are experts. Just as sure there will be a lot of correlation without causation involved in this (almost by definition you have to be mentally ill to engage in a mass shooting -- how come scientology hasn't yet "taken over the field" on mental healing and handled this problem? Are they not just as responsible as "the psychs" who they claim know nothing but they have ALL the … [Read more...]

Scientology Delusion Is Strong

April 24, 2019 By Mike Rinder 102 Comments

There is so much wrong with this that it's hard to wrap your wits around. These Ideal Org Whales have become like the privileged aristocracy of years gone by who sat drinking champagne while the peasants were ground underfoot. They believed themselves superior in every way and acted as such. So too the scientology moneyed "aristocracy." These buffoons organized a junket to the St Regis Resort and Vanderbilt 5 star hotel in San Juan to bring their "help" to Puerto Rico... A little salsa dancing lesson.  A breakfast cruise. A bunch of toasts. And dressing up like the old aristocracy. … [Read more...]

@LeahRemini @azhlynne @UltioetVeritas @MikeRinder As fellow "Never-Ins" we enjoyed this latest podcast episode with Stefani. It's mind boggling that Scientology has tax exempt status. Hoping @TheJusticeDept tunes in as more and more people speak out.

@BenjaminDuckwo5 @MikeRinder @LeahRemini @KarendlaCariere @randomname7700 @KatLaRue7 @TeamSPNetwork @SkyBird03914123 @Deana828 @enfant_criminel Our best weapons are truth, facts and our voices. The more people who speak out, write to the government, law enforcement, the IRS & US Treasury the more headway we make. The pen is mightier than the sword and much better than any violence.

@Aimee43123992 @MikeRinder @MissAussieKylie @LeahRemini Like Mike says, we need voices. Pressure on the IRS & Congress. If there is enough public pressure change can happen. Write to the US Treasury Inspector General asking for an investigation into COS’ exemption. The address is on my blog:
