Thursday Funnies

October 6, 2022 By Mike Rinder 27 Comments

There is a bit of a backlog of Funnies. The ones that were too outdated I sent to the trash file. There are quite a lot, two weeks worth in one episode! Smile away...   They're "On The Plaque" until they're not... These things are VERY temporary.   The "Honor Roll" On it until you're not. These are the marks who have contributed to making Australia the first "ideal continent"...   Big Thumbs Up Come on in, the water's fine. Not that many regges...   Chicago is big So I joined staff. Cincinnati needs staff desperately, their … [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...]

Amazing Seminar! Blow Away!!!!

March 3, 2021 By Mike Rinder 25 Comments

  OK, I must have seen literally a thousand of these "come to this event, it will be incredible/amazing/spectacular/blow away" etc etc with endless exclamation points. They are the same people over and over talking about the same thing. They promise incredible information which is just one of these "FSMs" (who earn a commission on everything that is paid for as a result) rehashing some old Hubbard quotes as if they are a new revelation. And then they really get down to business with some good old Big League Sales and hard sell money-grubbing. What is particularly remarkable … [Read more...]

Valley Vultures Circling Again

May 28, 2020 By Mike Rinder 57 Comments

These Valley vultures just never stop. For some reason Valley is promoting the 100,000 chillies "game" That's another thing? Why are they always using euphemisms for money? It's "steps" or "miles" or "chillies" but never dollars? By the way, are chillies supposed to be chilis? Or is this some "gangsta" term they are using? Like "when they gave us the check we got the chillies up and down our spine"? I wonder if they think it sounds too crass to say dollars? Or are they worried about sounding too commercial? Do they think this is fooling anyone? Why would they WANT to fool … [Read more...]

Quinn The Eskimo

May 17, 2014 By Mike Rinder 49 Comments

Oh boy, where to begin? No comment on this guy's literacy level. But it still amazes me when I see it. 9 YEARS they have been doing "the fundraise" OMG that is a LOOOOONG time. No wonder the poor Valley are all wore out... You gotta love the LRH quote this guys pulls out of his butt and somehow twists into "so let's all hold hands and agree to turn over our money in one big orgasmic leap of faith." But it only gets better. Because now you know that standard tech delivered in a non-ideal org is just NOT KSW and thus the rate of expansion is hindered. Quinn, did you ever ask … [Read more...]

Crazy L. Ron Hubbard's 1980 letter to Pres. Reagan explaining his plan for a national sales tax and abolishing the IRS. It was a key theme of #scientology's war on the IRS... until they got exemption. Do today's proponents know? Full letter in blog post.

@MikeRinder just finished reading your book. I've been anti-scientology for about 30 years. Your book was so informative as to the mindset and the bullying, gaslighting etc. Every through I watched the documentaries and listened to the podcast, I found this book so much (/2)
