Thursday Funnies

September 9, 2021 By Mike Rinder 46 Comments

  Not as many Thursday Funnies this week. If you come across something that might belong here, please ensure you forward it to me. If you don't have my email leave a comment saying you have something for Thursday Funnies and I will reach out to you.   An Ideal Universe Not content with an ideal org. Or even a country. Or Planet. Or Galaxy. She is really "thinking big"... She is sure that by giving some money to buy a new building for this always pathetic and failing org in Brisbane she is "making a difference." The delusion is strong....   For some … [Read more...]

Some Funnies on Thursday

August 26, 2021 By Mike Rinder 69 Comments

  Just a few of the things that have been forwarded to me recently. Some are a little old. But nothing really changes in scientology, it just gets smaller. People have been asking for Thursday Funnies to come back. It somewhat depends on what comes in. Once the pandemic hit, the volume of promotional items they sent out decreased. But it seems to be coming back now. Not sure if I will do this every Thursday, but here is an installment to satisfy the need for some humor on this topic.   "Get some of the most praised products!" Huh? And what might they be? This place is … [Read more...]

Valley Org “Limited Space”

August 19, 2021 By Mike Rinder 85 Comments

Everyone knows scientology hypes their sheeple. But even the most glazed-eyed KSW nazis must be skeptical of the ridiculous statements they spew out. Look at the below. The guy who announced he was coming in to take over Valley "ideal" org to "boom it" and then never showed up, is going to give a seminar. Along with his son. Who also will not join staff in the org. This org, as they loudly promoted, is the largest Class V Org in the world (based on square footage) -- and yet they are saying "limited space." Does anyone believe this?   This is one of the promotional … [Read more...]

Damning With Faint Praise (And Another Podcast)

May 6, 2021 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

This is the best Valley ideal org OTC has got apparently: These two "success stories" are bound to inspire many other older, glasses-wearing "OT's" to join the powerhouses at the Valley ideal org. All those thetans working together to accomplish, er, well, to accomplish buying a building for Albuquerque... or something.  They seem to be a little short on specifics of what they actually do. But these women are doing it with gusto, whatever it is. Or at least with a tone of warmish enthusiasm. The Valley Ideal Org really does suck.  Here it is in daylight. Nothing but empty … [Read more...]

“Ideal Org” (In)Activity

April 17, 2021 By Mike Rinder 50 Comments

  We always say these so-called "ideal orgs" are merely empty buildings masquerading as viable scientology organizations. Perth keeps putting out "briefings" that prove this in their own words.   Just think, Hubbard said the MIMINUM to be "viable" and "above the make-break point" was for an org to achieve the size of Old St Hill. Not a single Class V org has stably achieved that status. Just as an idea of what this means, it requires at least 100 auditors in training in the Academy and 1000 auditing hours a week. This would translate, conservatively, into 25 … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

August 11, 2016 By Mike Rinder 84 Comments

Fearless Leader? Back in action with more ridiculousness. Wee gatherings and big gatherings -- but no details about where or when. That's a secret!   Highest Ever after Highest Ever Haha. If they are expanding like crazy and have all these Highest Evers, how is it possible that after 6 years as an "ideal org" they are still not SH Size. In fact, they don't even have their filing up to date!     The Foundation for Planetary Clearing There are apparently 50 or more of these ideal orgs. By now something should be visible in the planetary clearing … [Read more...]
