Thursday Funnies

September 16, 2021 By Mike Rinder 42 Comments

Thanks to everyone who submits these each week...   Financial Security Workshop The irony is that the place will be swarming with more Regges than participants. The last place anyone should go for financial security is into any scientology building. Let alone Big Blue where LA Org, ASHO and AOLA Regges will be hovering. Not to mention IAS, WISE, ABLE, CCHR, WTH etc etc   Not much hype The most important beings in the universe don't get the hype that the dudes in the hazmat suits spraying Defcon 9 get. Not even a video!   Two water bottles That's the best … [Read more...]

An “All Ideal Cali”

February 16, 2020 By Mike Rinder 63 Comments

Somehow, they are focusing on the number of staff needed for this to be an "ideal org". There has always been a rush to try to get people to sign up for staff, and the opening of an ideal org is the only real excuse they have. They tell people that with their ideal org they will suddenly have a massive influx of public and everyone will earn a living wage. It never happens. The only people who can exist on staff are those who have some other form of surviving with no money -- they live with their parents or they have a spouse that works a normal job, or they got an inheritence or someone … [Read more...]

    Free Ice Cream Apparently George is George is a whale who supports this mission. He is like the Good Humor Man...     Really not looking good...

  Freedom for all California... One more empty building and California will be free at last! Not a chance ANYONE actually buys this. But the rah-rah seems to impress.   No we don't Not a one has EVER come back   Nothing quite like "Big Blue" It's ugly, dirty and empty. The celebration may be memorable, but not for the right reasons.   They're trying to sound fancy... If you have ever been to the "PAC Canteen" you will understand the crazy of them serving "lobster tail"   Scientology Thanksgiving  Not only are they NOT providing … [Read more...]

California Not Done Sir

October 9, 2019 By Mike Rinder 47 Comments

  After enormous hype and hoopla, the big "Put a Bow On It" "California Done Sir" event is over. And in typical scientology style, there are a lot of claims of "we ARE doing it" but the fact is, they are NOT DONE still. All of California has "united" to get the "final" org in California to "ideal" and the demands for money are apparently never-ending. This is the announcement they sent out to let everyone know that it was a "huge success" -- even though it was NOT what was promised. They still didn't complete it and still haven't been able to say "Done Sir" though this was … [Read more...]

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
