I included an item in the last Thursday Funnies about a Vancouver scientologist trying to solicit positive reviews for the org -- lamenting there were only 7 reviews and by adding his 5 star review he had bumped the average up to 4.1 from 4.0. Uh oh, look what happened.... Val Ross alerted me to the fact that his post is now the FIRST image on the Yelp site for Vancouver org! Begging people to give good reviews. And the average Yelp rating has gone down to 3.9 with a massive 10 reviews now... Scientology and social media are oil and water. … [Read more...]

The Top? Wonder what the Freewinds thinks about that? They're pretty much forgotten in the scientology world. You gotta love the “brilliant” describing the run-around-a-pole rundown... It is quite brilliant I guess making people pay to have you tell them to run in circles. They just found number 8? It's definitely "coveted" -- they sold them for $500 back when they were released. Wonder if they'll get $15 for it now? Fold Arms. Stare. We will give you dinner if you come... What is being "Beyond Victorious"? Perhaps this is OT IX? … [Read more...]

An acknowledgement brunch... Translation -- cheese in the mousetrap. The regges are waiting. Learn how to be cause over your own art I am left wondering, how can anyone NOT be cause over their own art? It's not someone else's art? Come for the tacos... They need something because the "Call Center Director" as a "special guest speaker" isn't a big draw. Money, money, money What else is new? The ideal org 4D campaign - one woman handing out "some booklets" Now that is some big time planetary clearing. Kiddie … [Read more...]

Thanks to all who attended the book event last night at Penn. It was great to see so many supporters, people interested and old friends. My appreciation to Marci Hamilton and the team at Child USA for organizing the event. And now, some l Holiday Cabaret?? Isn't this a CC thing? And they are giving a free dinner? Plenty of regges will be on hand. Sunday Service Because we try to pretend we are like a Christian church. I guess the Lead C/S at ASHO doesn't have anyone to C/S so he is reading Hubbard out loud in Chicago. They're loading up Chicago … [Read more...]

Why is "Graduation" never just graduation? Because they don't have enough people completing anything. The results are in? Form where? Did they take a poll there too and discover it has the worst reputation of any group in the country? What it's like a the top of the Bridge No different, you just have less money. The Bay Area is Dead They're going to try to revive it. How strange, there are 4 ideal orgs there... Raven Kane (Campbell) has a new name? Why? Effective Management? Howe to write a … [Read more...]

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...]

The Time is Now! Of course, it ALWAYS is. Until tomorrow, when there is something better.... How can it be more? Last week was "everything you ever wanted"? It's really easy... Except for people who have access to the internet. Wonder if this is legal? In most states gambling is restricted Why is this Russian? Barcelona only delivers to Russians? It's the next big thing Re-do your Purif and SRD. Why? Because you can... Big Think? Ya think? None of these pix … [Read more...]

AO Africa?? Never seems to reflect "Africa"... There's one token representative on the left of the shot. Africa? She's from Germany. Not at AOSHEU which is just across the border? No wonder... They are promoting "public are flying in from all over the world". Apparently there aren't enough scientologists in Africa to keep an AO busy Accepting Applications from Upstat Persons Not really true. ANYBODY qualifies. And they're not "accepting applications" they are begging for anyone from anywhere to join … [Read more...]

Bunny Rabbits and Freddie Mercury Impersonators What symbolizes ideal orgs better than this? And a trip to the Blue Mountains... Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra will be ideal in no time. Forget about the rest of Asia and the Pacific. First? Is that a sad state of affairs if this is true? Did you see the latest census numbers from Australia where 2000 people in the whole country identify as scientologists? And three of their six orgs are still not ideal... Yeah, sure there are dozens every week Not Canada Day Graduation... Chris … [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...]
