Disconnection For All

January 24, 2021 By Mike Rinder 17 Comments

Here is a new ad from WISE explaining the incredible value of "disconnection tech": The scientology "Admin Tech" people at the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises are hawking some more of Hubbard's "religious scripture" (which is what they call it in scientology) as "secular management technology" which is what they call the same thing at WISE. These 3 booklets contains the "secrets" to dealing with Suppressive Persons. Including disconnection. Like the scientology euphemism "confront and shatter" which is actually an admonition to "run and hide, sever all connection" with an … [Read more...]

The Benefit of Goodwill According to L. Ron Hubbard

October 4, 2020 By Mike Rinder 32 Comments

Well, here is some more brilliant advice from the "non-religious" part of scientology, the "World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE)." Touting the words of Hubbard concerning goodwill and how important it is. Obviously, goodwill IS important. It is also something that scientology has none of. How is that possible if they are so in Source? Ron has laid out exactly how to attain this cherished goal. Why are they failing so badly? Maybe scientology should hire some experts from WISE to help them out...   … [Read more...]

Religion?

August 30, 2020 By Mike Rinder 35 Comments

The question is often asked -- how can scientology call itself a religion? It doesnt have most of the things that "normal" religions have -- worship services, a belief in God, relying on actual gifts and not charging for services, a kind, gentle approach, focus on families etc etc And of course, L. Ron Hubbard was extremely derisive about religions (I will do a post focusing on his views one of these days) until he realized it could have great benefit to use the "religion angle." But one of the things that is most incredible about this business that masquerades as a religion for tax … [Read more...]

WISE Advice for Scientology

May 26, 2020 By Mike Rinder 38 Comments

Here is some expert advice from WISE that scientology could use. The first line is an eye-opener. Just think of this. Scientology CLAIMS they have a product NOBODY can do without. And they have an absolute monopoly on it. Everything in the business is copyrighted and trademarked to be sure there is no competition. It is not just the cure for all illness, mental AND physical, it is the answer to all problems on earth and in the universe and has the ability to restore you to native state as an "Operating Thetan" capable of creating the entire universe, being in complete control of all matter, … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

March 19, 2020 By Mike Rinder 52 Comments

  There were no Funnies last week, so some of these are holdovers and thus slightly dated.   Celebrate Verbosity If number of words was the measure of a man, I saw homeless guy who talks to himself constantly on Hollywood Blvd -- his output must be in the hundreds of millions of words/ A new Messiah?   Perth? They've got about a dozen scientologists in the whole state of Western Australia (and they are responsible for Indonesia too remember...) Grand delusion. BTW, the Ron's Journal they quote from is 1974. Nearly 50 years ago now...   This is … [Read more...]

  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’s Decade

January 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 60 Comments

  Dan Sherman conjured up a verbal orgasm of gushing babble to hype the sheeple at the scientology New Year's Celebration. No need to attend the event, you can read all about it at scientology.org in 10 minutes and spare yourself the pain of  "Standing O" calisthenics every time Dear Leader actually completes a run-on sentence. At the outset, let's remember that the "turn of the decade/century" event in 1999 was held at the LA Sports Arena -- a FAR larger venue than the Shrine Auditorium. Given the unprecedented, massive, straight up and vertical expansion they claim to have … [Read more...]

  An "Extravagaza" On Wednesday night. Should be a big draw. Maybe they can get the Palestinian community to show up in support...   Damning with Faint Praise This worth a promo piece?   They will feed you... If you just agree to sit through this stuff. It's like one of those Time Share offers or "your cemetery plot awaits, come for a free dinner at Rudy Tuesday's to find out how to secure it."   What ideal org alliance? I thought California was done? And does this poster make ANY sense? You could be Olivia Newton-John? Why? How would that … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies on Saturday

March 30, 2019 By Mike Rinder 95 Comments

  A bit delayed due to the news of the shooting in Inglewood Org. The victim/perpetrator must have been a scientologist as Eddie Parkin and the STAAD League have not taken to Twitter to blame The Aftermath for inciting the "hate crime". Their top story is still the Christchurch massacre. Eddie seems to go into hibernation when there are no new episodes of The Aftermath airing (which speaks volumes about the actual reason they exist...)   Disaster Response Training In other words, instructions on how to hand out WTH, pick up trash and do nerve assists. What does this … [Read more...]

  Distinguished Speakers... Who cannot be named. You can bet this turnout is going to be YUGE.   It's Monumental And it's from 10 years ago! And you know what the "next strategy" is that is going to be revealed? We need more of your money.   Should be even YUGER... Flag public are going to be being harassed to attend this mercilessly. Some will show up to help keep Ethics and Regges at bay. Still, if they have 200 people it would be a miracle.     Your Ideal Scene Well, I can imagine a few them would be thinking "how about … [Read more...]
