An easy one to start…
Why are you here? To give you money… which is the only purpose in the universe.
He really gets around…
This fundraising business must be paying off. Melbourne Australia on Tuesday, Pasadena on Thursday. Yowza.
That’s a strange “block”
It’s actually the scientology PR building
And then they were one…
Every item on this NOI “convention” is scientology.
Pot luck Thanksgiving?
Most churches provide Thanksgiving dinner. This “ideal” org can’t even afford that, it’s bring your own.
The Jive Asses
Bet you the band itself will be the biggest influx of people they have seen since the ribbon yanking.
How to flourish and prosper and not go PTS…
It’s simple: Do NOT turn on TV. Do not look at the internet. Do not read magazines. Stick to reading ONLY things LRH wrote. And only listen to people who quote him liberally.
Wow — Melbourne being saturated with VIPs.
First the ChanMan and then 3 days later Alfraudie Johnson. You can expect Melbourne to be SH Size in a matter of days, months, years, never.
Check out the disaster relief made possible by the IAS…
That is impressive.
Scientology staff demographics
Getting older and older… New staff are few and far between. Average age has 10X since Golden Age of Tech II (or something)
An all-Ideal California…
They had better hope there is never a new org in Fresno or Bakersfield or Oakland or, or, or…
Funny, these ideal orgs were supposed to generate new groups, missions and orgs. There has not been ONE in 20 years. Miscavige bought a building and opened one in Dublin for no good reason and that’s the only one. No ideal org anywhere has ever created a new org.
Demographics…
Like I said.
Another potluck in another “ideal” org…
Thanksgiving, scientology style.
OMG
This is a “career” that pays you nothing. You don’t need to study 4 years to get a minimum wage job and you would be getting 3X what you earn in the best “ideal” org…
I guess there are two IAS World Tours
Alfraudie in Melbourne and the Venezuelan Miracle in Miami.
Wonder if she is going to describe how she brought peace and happiness to her nation thanks to your support of the IAS….
They will tie you up…
…until you pay up.
It’s ALL about the money…
Get those kids filing…
I often wonder why the OTHER two “ideal orgs” in Silicon Valley have not taken over the tech industry yet? Are they waiting for Mountain View before they get started? They have DOUBLE the ideal orgs most cities have and all the other ones are definitely “clearing their zone”, I know that because I have seen their promo pieces saying they are…
The fastest ideal org completion in history?
If you don’t count the first 15 years where they got nowhere? Just start counting now? Hell, why not wait to start counting until the day before the ribbon yanking and then you can say “Fastest Ever — Just ONE DAY.”
Damn…
Sorry I missed this one. I hope Dave attended though. He needs some help on the PR front.
Another lamb being led to the slaughter…
Perhaps someone will warn him beforehand and he can give this a second thought.
What does Havana nights have to do with making money?
Or Toronto. Or anything?
Location: TBA. And it’s two days from now…
Do something exciting…
Russian roulette is exciting and may be better for your health than joining staff…
Help Ron clear the planet…
Guys, hate to break it to you. Ron died in 1986 and is nowhere to be seen.
vv
Someone should bring that INDIANA JONES promotion to the attention of Spielberg & Lucas and those in Hollywood who own the copyrights to the INDIANA JONES franchise. It is such a blatant ripoff of the films and associated products it should be a relatively easy copyright case. Surely Spielberg and Lucas would be appalled to see their work used by these con artists for fundraising. Stealing money has been so profitable the amounts available for a legal challenge should make the effort financially worthwhile in addition to the moral imperative implicit in taking on this evil organization.
“Get those kids filing…”
Er one follows the HCO PL “Files” to start with.
The only reason the CF’s of the entire world of Scientology are screwed is you simply cannot get people to follow simple policy.
LRH wrote “there is no route to GI than via CF”. DM thinks its via Ideal orgs.
What is the point in building beautiful empty buildings when the mind of the Org (CF) is in chaos.
Because he can thats why.
The holiday season “flourish and prosper” seminar touts how to handle THOSE relatives, “the ones who bring everyone else down”.
So, I hate to break it to you scientologists, but if you’re the one sitting off somewhere at the Christmas party trying to spot PTS symptoms and suppressive valences, maybe, JUST MAYBE, you might be one of THOSE creepy relatives who bring everyone else down.
I thought the esteemed Sikh speaker scheduled for the Sacramento cherch, Mr. Mundy, should understand with whom he’s getting involved, so I sent this heads-up via his Temple contact form:
“I humbly request that you please advise spokesman Darshan Mundy that Scientology is a mind-enslaving cult which destroys families, drains participants of their money, and persecutes any who question their nefarious practices. I’m sure someone of Mr. Darshan’s high spiritual attainment would want to be informed of this, so as not to be associated with such a malignantly evil organization.
Thank You and Blessings”
Love to see if he cancels…
“come in and help make our files ideal”
Recycling.
And the NOI thing is fascinating. I keep waiting for the Damnation Navy trying to put ethics in on the “fruit of islam” heavies from the NOI…
Its been said many times but once more with feeling: The Nation of Islam are not Muslims. The religion, their beliefs, have nothing to do with Islam or the Koran or any Islamic Sect. Just like Hubbard created a Fake Navy with the Sea Org, the NOI take Islamic names for themselves and dress like Muslims but that’s the extent of the similarity between NOI and ANY faction of Islam. The reason they take these fake names is because they believe (with some justification) that their AMERICAN names are fake, i.e., names given to them by their slave masters back in the day. As to why the names they take on are Muslim names, as well as the reason for the Muslim garb, well, you’ve got me there. Many of the people who assisted in rounding up the Africans in Africa and selling them into captivity to the Americans and Europeans were Muslims back in the day. Doesn’t make sense for these identity-searching people to embrace THIS group, but, hey…
I know. Those NOI women with the funky headdresses look more like nuns rather than conventional Muslim women.
What is a “Chronological Golden Age of Knowledge Completion”?
Dave,
Disaster Relief Update:
Masterson is now in the Weinstein and Franken HOT SEAT. The accusations have gone public. The best part is seeing the chameleons take on the shape and color of pretzels as they walk back their crock o’ loogies. A&E missed the boat.
Is Shelly exposure next?
“Join staff” and “career” do not belong in the same sentence together.
Join staff and you won’t have a career.
Ironic, isn’t it, that this wealthy “religion” can’t feed the homeless at Thanksgiving? Let’s do a potluck. Sheesh.
Denver has an ever expanding homeless population and many of them can be found within the immediate area of the ideal org. I was friends with some of the old members back in the day and they were good people who would likely be happy to feed the homeless. As with all the ideal orgs, they are supporting a money pit and I have to wonder how much of what little income they get goes up channels and feeds Miscavige. I doubt the day ever comes where the leader of this “church” actually sends each ideal org a check for say $2-3000 to feed the impoverished staff and some of the areas homeless just one holiday meal. I have read about what it entails to feed him and wonder what his grocery bill is every week. Hey OSA, I double dog dare you!
Thanks for the daily blog and the A&E Show, I’m a “religious” reader and watcher.
I find it odd that LRH/Co$ claim they can cure everything, yet have “member’s” that are in the medical/pharma industry. Vick Tipnes is the newest one I noticed Blackstone Medical, llc (sleep apnea)… Bob Duggan – Pharmacyclics (cancer drugs). I would like to ask them, “Which one is the lie?”. Your business industry or your religious beliefs. These weren’t just “jobs” to pay the bills, they are/were the CEO.
It’s a real head scratcher.
It’s a real head scratcher.
Yep.
Like so much in scientology.
But if you always look to the money you will usually be right.
Yes. The money. Its only about the money. Its not about clearing the planet. I’m ready to see this cult go down. I have watched every single show and read all about this Scientology group. I think you and Leah are doing such a great job exposing them for who they are.
Thank you for all your hard work on this.
On the last Leah Remini show when they put up a picture of the book “I-80” or whichever one it was, the author line had “L Ron Hubbard, C.E., PhD as his educational level. I assume “CE” means Certified Engineer and we know what PhD means. Yet the biographer, Russell Miller said LRH didn’t have any kind of a college degree and that he flunked out as an engineer and flunked nuclear physics class. Amazing that he would publish untrue things that could so easily be fact checked, even in the days before internet.
CE stands for Civil Engineer.
Thanks, Moxie. And there is a typo in the book title. It should read “8-80”.
These tiny orgs and their pot luck Thanksgivings. You’d think with all the thousands they receive that they could stand to treat their sheep to a decent meal at least once a year. They could budget for this. I’m having 8 people for Thanksgiving. With beer and a few bottles of wine, from hors d’oevres (a little pricey as I like cold shrimp and crab meat) thru dessert I’m figuring it will cost about $200 None of us drink that much and some not at all and of course they’ll bring stuff even though I’ve told them not to, but even if they didn’t what I’ll have including dessert will be enough. Most of these orgs have 25 people, optimistically, and they won’t be serving alcohol so I’d say 8 people at one of their dinners (salad, turkey, fixings, vegetables, dessert, soda ) would cost about $100 or so, which would mean feeding 25-30 would add up to maybe 400 – really, they can’t budget for that during the year? That works out to $8. a week to treat their people to Thanksgiving? How cheap can they get? That really turns me off.
Correction: 7 people + me = 8.
Aqua – “How cheap can they get? Let us count the ways! LOL They have become so dreadfully disconnected FROM THE WORLD itself, they’ll never accomplish anything worth noticing. other than negatively.. Day by day, week by week, sliding down the scale of humanity, at war with anything successful or humanitarian. And all the time, assuring (lying to) themselves about all the good they’re bringing to the world. What a sad record to bring to the holiday season.
Very sad indeed.
Yes, its beyond amazing how deluded they are about the “good” that they’re doing. Beyond belief.
Is the turkey going to be stuffed with rice & beans or will that be a side dish…???…..just askin’…..
Really Aqua??…..SODA???…..No way…..they’ve already mixed gallons of Kool Aid…lol!
Many years back (1971) I gave a Christmas cake to the Director of Processing to give to the auditors. Later I asked her if the auditors liked it and she admitted that SO staff had eaten it. They were on rice and beans and couldn’t let the cake go. So sad to accept that way of life.
I gave a cookie to my AOLA auditor and she turned it down citing the reference that auditors weren’t to take any gifts of any kind from public. To not take a cookie was such a make wrong of her pc, of me. I think a cookie doesn’t count as a gift. But she was being literal.
One tough cookie.
Treating people right is a reasonable way to live, and you know what LRH said about being Reasonable.
How to flourish and prosper? Lie. Should read ‘How to help flourish and prosper the Church of Scientology’ Group Dynamics 101: Every member of a group never can speak badly about their former group, but the group can certainly speak badly about the member (including release of confidential confessionals)?! If a member of a group wants back in, that person must ask each member for forgiveness regarding upsets; however, a group does not have to ask the former member for forgiveness should it upset them?! Unbalanced 1D:3D. #hypocrisy
Absolutely. Ask for forgiveness? who do they think they are. God? I’m sure they believe they are something. So glad everyone is voicing out about this cult. it takes alot of guts to be part of something you thought was amazing, just to find out its not anything of the sort. A true hero.
I’ve only scratched the surface of the bureaucratic policies regarding groups, but I remember reading that LRH requires a former member to go to each individual of a group and essentially ‘beg for forgiveness’. I think it works differently. The group should publicly disclose its transgressions, beg to keep its IRS tax-exempt status, and promise to fix all issues and grant unconditional surrender for its crimes, and of course amnesty for any former member who spoke out. While we’re going down this pipe dream, require reconnection of families and free auditing for harm-done. (This is called social responsibility, like a 4D ethic action for those senior ex-members – right?!)
Yeah, right. Who’s living in the insane world now?
Oh, christ. Vick Tipnes is the most arrogant, self-congadulatory asshole….aside from Grant Cardone.
He’s worse than Cardone? That’s a lot of arrogance!
Michael Roberts must be pulling down nice commissions scamming people into making IAS donations. Thats a guy right there making use of his D list celebrity status to line his pockets courtesy of the Scientology Crime Syndicate.
That must make Michael Roberts a thug, right?
D-list? That would be a step up for Michael Roberts. D-list would be a good goal for him.
Let’s see…himmm…you’re an African Anerican family, right? In need of “repair”.
Well, OK! Good news, because Scientology can help you with that!
Scientology is just gonna fix that family of your right up, yessiree! Guaranteed!
Except, er, we just can’t TELL you its Scientology.
We cant even say that word out loud!
Yes, we know. Sounds crazy. But still, we just can’t.
Trust us. It would ruin everything.
Is there a special tech when the family is black?
Just kidding. But really how weird is that poster?
Made me cringe.
Good point, Marie. Families are families. And its not like African Americans have any advantage over whites, stat-wise, when it comes to alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, criminal activity, fatherless babies, illiteracy and joblessness – nowadays these are very much White as well as Black problems.
The one about Orlando and “the fastest ideal org completion in history” has me scratching my head, too. Usually I can see how they have mis-represented or twisted some underlying truth, but I can’t fathom how the drawn-out travail of the that sad little org’s struggles could be said to have any element of “fast.” Except I supposed that they could be “postulating” that if they ever do manage to finally raise all the money needed, that then they would somehow get the renovations done in record time – but that’s really putting the cart before the horse!
The only thing I can think of that would really fit, is that they’re going to tell the story of the Dublin/Firhouse ideal org, which was fast-tracked in record time in an unprecedented effort that apparently didn’t involve the locals (who only had a mission, not even an org) having to raise one thin dime, because Miscavige wanted it done for some reason. I would think that would get under the skin of some of the local orgs that have been left to struggle for years and years, and even suffer as they languish while further burdened by the ongoing expenses of a building they purchased but can’t occupy, like Orlando.
I’ve also been trying to figure out, on the NOI promo they have been referring to creating “family repair” centers. That vaguely reminds me of one of Scientology’s past efforts to create something like “groups” (that they claim thousands of), but I can’t remember exactly what it might have been – does that ring a bell with anyone, who can put a name to it?
Oohh, the Inane Asinine Stupefying World Tour is coming to Melbourne (insert multiple exclamation marks here). I can’t wait not to go. I demand that I can’t wait not to go. I’m quivering with non-excitement that I can’t wait not to go.
Indiana Jones and the…I..uh…uh…
Tipnes and Lee look like the worst kind of used car salesmen.
And the Temple of Doom. How apropos.
That sounds like a ride at Disneyland…
“Those” relatives. (Prepare for rant) But CoS tech solves everything when applied correctly…and the family is the building block of society/highly encouraged by CoS…and people actually find their family unit closer after CoS…..and, and, and…
FFS, after everything being published about how the family DYNAMIC is really viewed/applied in CoS, and for those who don’t watch what is happening outside the bubble, there’s plenty inside the bubble to show the importance of separation from “those.” You know, those who love you and won’t discard you because you don’t agree on the exact same belief system.
Could CoS prove any more thoroughly that they don’t value family except as it relates to dollars and adherence? That promo is so inconsistent with all the “pro” stuff they spew, it’s amazing to me (though it shouldn’t be) they continue to place it on promo.
Sorry for the ramble, it just makes me furious.
Always interesting to see the block parties for Clearwater on here since we’ve never seen them anywhere else and we’re what I would consider local (St. Petersburg). Usually these funnies are posted after the event but this one is this weekend. Very much considering dropping by just to see what the reality is versus the photos they share to their parishioners.
The Indiana Jones ripoff is one of the best photoshop fails of all time and it has made my entire week.
The Havana Nights flyer isn’t too far behind it, either, with David Lee pointing at the reader and font vomitrociousness exploding all over the place.
All tied up – looks like Luis Garcia and maybe Erin Hodges Plumb.
Free publicity for those nasty SPs again!
I like the Havana nights poster. Fifty dollars a ticket, the event is in two days and they have yet to tell you where it’s going to be held.
LOL.
I’ve had an ongoing thought that there are parallels between the ‘smoking cigarettes’ phenomena and the rise and fall of Scientology.
Smoking was made famously attractive by Hollywood, geezers, especially people like Dean Martin had one hanging out of his mouth 24/7, John Wayne loved ’em and they were very popular in the movies of the 60s – 80s. Major sports were sponsored by tobacco companies, their advertising was everywhere. Then the reality of what smoking actually does to you started to become very obvious. Big tobacco companies hired big time lawyers and fought court battles for a decade or more until eventually even they had to admit the damn things kill you. The body count against tobacco consumption could no longer be legally argued away. And now, smoking in a public place like restaurants etc is taboo. Geezers, remember the aircraft cabin smoke and every seat had an ashtray?
The same sort of life & time lag of that sort of truth has developed around and with Scientology, (in ratio of course, tobacco consumption was huge and use to be done almost everywhere). The orgs and SO establishments have had their day and lawyers once again were required to keep them propped up, but the evidence of the damage being done to people’s lives is becoming too big to sweep under the legal carpet anymore. Scientology, like tobacco is simply bad for you. If there ever was a such a thing as ‘standard Scientology…’ please stand up! The Indie field puffed away like crazy but have either gone the same fate as the orgs or are diminished and in hiding. Just what are the abilities gained by Scientology again? I keep forgetting. A lack of mass runs rampant with Scientology tech, some die hards still insist on a reality of it and even less have an affinity for it.
It is so obvious now that after so many decades of delivery by the orgs that they have failed to produce the products and OT states they claim. The human rights abuses are 24/7 and the orgs are now empty.
These flyers are the old tools all polished up by desktop publishing but a polished turd is still a polished turd.
Michael Chan may as well be called Phillip Morris.
“Ash tray, STAND UP!” Thank you.
Several of these posters are perfect examples of what not to do. Throwing in cursive fonts that strain the eyes is a bozo no no.
Michael Chan must have been cloned by the Raëlians, he’s everywhere. Everywhere but on the Fleecewinds, where he used to ply his trade. That ‘power fsm’ stuff just means he was good at sucking money from the minions. Now Mickey is ashore, why? Because there isn’t any money on the Fleecewinds, it is all hiding ashore.
All the rest of the posters are a ‘hooray for us’ type of thing that only preaches to the choir. A choir that is getting smaller every day.
I love the ad for the ‘Universe Corp’. As staff have a lot of time on their hands, they have time to go clear or even OT. That is easy to do if you don’t have to do your job and actually ‘serve’ the any public.
Why no ads for body routers? That must be the most thankless job in the Clampire.
Michael Chan! There he is again!
This guy is MY new rockstar posterboy of scientology, Tom Cruise be damned.
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me?
M — I — C …

I have a few questions to Mike Rinder or anyone who know.
What is the latest on the TV station of the Church of Scientology?
Is it true that David Miscavige left INT to supervise that TV station?
That info is from Tony Ortega’s blog.
However, if DM is in L.A., how come NOBODY saw him there entering the studio or otherwise?
What is the latest on the TV station of the Church of Scientology?
Empty and lifeless, like the ideal orgs.
Is it true that David Miscavige left INT to supervise that TV station?
It’s true he left Int. I doubt it was to supervise KCET.
However, if DM is in L.A., how come NOBODY saw him there entering the studio or otherwise?
He is afraid to be in public. Someone might ask him questions or serve him with a subpoena…
He is afraid to be in public. Someone might ask him questions or serve him with a subpoena…
So he is following in LRH’s footsteps – just in an upgrade in living status from the Bluebird trailer but still in a prison of his own making.
Or toss pig shit on him….
I usually toss the pig.
Throwing a pig at David Miscavige! That’s animal abuse! If you do that, I’m gonna call the SPCA and report you!
Tony Ortega has said that his sources tell him that Miscavige has ordered that all the SuMP content they’re supposed to be “broadcasting” be produced internally, but that it’s not going well and it’s being blamed on people’s incompetence. While that sort of blame-laying seems to be Miscavige’s modus operandi, it’s almost certain that Scientology doesn’t have people with the skill sets to produce media of quality suitable for putting out into an environment where it’s going to be widely viewed and critiqued, and doubtless that they don’t have enough people to produce a full broadcast schedule full of content.
My best guess, is that Miscavige and some of his sycophants kicked around the idea of their own broadcast station and decided they ought to be able to do it, perhaps doing something like their version of Pat Robertson’s 700 Club, having no idea of what was really involved. In other areas, they’ve managed to pull things off by hiring out crucial work to outsiders when they’re in over their heads, such as for legal work – and recently, using a lawyer as their spokesperson. But in the sort of history that they apparently didn’t research, Christian Science’s failed attempt to establish a broadcast channel in the late 1980s, required them to hire over 200 outsiders, and they already had radio broadcast experience and a well-established news-gathering operation. I recently thought to look it up, and Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network requires an annual budget of $300 million.
I’m curious to see if SuMP doesn’t make some token attempt at getting something like a website “channel” going before the end of the year, and what Miscavige says at the New Year’s event when he’s made some fairly specific unfulfilled promises, while members have apparently been lead to believe that SuMP was going to broadcast to “billions” and be the answer to all their public relations and recruiting problems.
At some point someone who made large donations to sump will see the light, leave and sue the “church” for fraud because the promises haven’t been delivered. I think that’s what happened with the Garcias with their donations for something in Clearwater and subsequent lawsuit.
Serve him with a subpoena… glorious GLORIOUS words to the ears of the whole world.
The Jive Asses – LOL! Seriously though isn’t it time they updated those billious yellow outfits.
They have had new suits in FP for years, but it never gets approved. THere is always more pressing things like setting aside for food when COB is in the UK for 2 weeks a year…
They come in handy when they have to double as Volunteer Ministers.
Heh Heh. Zing.
You can see their uniforms from Target 2.
We need hard evidence so let us get some people in their and starting taping and recording all the abuses. This person should be military (retired) who can withstand their mindf*%$ing crap. Then with all who have freed themselves from this horrific situation can be the actual people in court visible no longer in the shadows. All who are still stuck in this hamster wheel of horror will see this and hear and it will be on record. We know that they are watching the episodes of ” aftermath ” because of those lame ass videos they are using as PR. Funny my late father ( miss u so much dad ) was in advertising with a book publishing co. and would wine and dine the possible buyers, this was a long long process at times but majority signed on. No harassment pr following with signs ” what is Jack’s crime(s)?” Well he raised six children, he served in the US Navy as a navigator on a PBY aircraft (drops sonar bouys to capture the enemy) He was married to a wonderful woman. We went camping and many road trips. That is family for God’s sake. Crime would be he did not go into this pysch game and lose everything plus I am so hyperactive even now at 57 and when I was a young girl that church could not contain this Tasmanian Devil and they would of set me free. To me ADD/ADHD was a gift became a volunteer firefighter/EMT then became a Paramedic, chaos was my friend because of the situational awareness I was at peace in that roll and my patients were some of the best people I had the honour to take care of. We never picked or chose what 911 call we wanted we went were needed. I listened and cared for all like they are my family. And today I am running a Doggie Daycare and Boarding in WA state the less complicated one on west coast and it is a blast taking care of awesome dogs. So I digress ,time to infiltrate this circus and take down the puppet master and have justice ready to go a head with prosecution. Sorry about my little rant. God Bless to all involved in “aftermath” and to all survivors it ain’t over until some ones start singing (it will be DM’s closest allies) keep being nervous lil Davey you will make a mistake and then the law will pounce.
Hamster Wheel of Horror. It has a nice ring to it.
Perhaps that’s where the term, “made as a wheel,” comes from, or at least a good example of it.
There we go again, another typo! “Mad as a wheel” I meant to type. I really need to see an optometrist, I’m overdue but insist there’s nothing wrong with my eyesight. We won’t go into aging and mental memory afflictions, someone might try to sell me Scientology to fix that!
Maybe I should consider retiring from retirement and stop fooling around with computers as a pastime. I know that would make a few happy on this site at least.
As long as the hamster is not abused.
You mean like the pig you want to toss at Miscavige?
Whoa what does this have to do with the blog anyway?
I have no idea, Gloria. Of course, I don’t have very good ideas anyway.
🙂 You do crack me up sometimes OSD.
‘Sometimes? Just…sometimes? I’m handing in my comedy card. That’s it! Finished! No mas!
Ok! OK! ALL the time! 🙂 Jeesh, OSD – male ego much ? 🙂
A virtual potpourri of insanity and disconnect from reality.
Wait a minute! …
THAT is what scamology is.
Potpourri AND insanity? Whoa! Sign me up!
“Come into my parlor,” said the spider to the fly.
Ok…but you’ve got to get rid of the fly. The spider can stay.
considering the upward trend in average age of Scientologists, perhaps phase 2 of the ideal org should be the Ideal Geriatric Org
No bout a doubt that! Pretty soon they’ll appoint someone to walk around their Idle Morgue waking people up. Hey, it’s tough waking some of these folks up!
Time for some Upper Bedrock TRs.
Yab a bab a doo!
Bedrock TRs? Is Barney and Fred involved?
I have often gone to the Org before
But the Golden Age was nothing that I’d seen before
All at once am I saying my goodbyes
Knowing I’m on the street where they live
There’s no honesty in the things they say
I can hear a voice that tells me I’ll be on my way
Does entrapment pour out of ev’ry door?
Yes, it’s just on the street where they live!
And oh! the God-awful feeling
Just to know somehow I am near
The overpowering feeling
That there never was an OT or a Clear
Minions stop and stare
They don’t bother me
For there’s no where else on earth that I would rather flee
Let the time go by, I won’t care if I
Won’t be here on the street where they live
Moxie, This is your Best effort yet! I chuckled All the way through!
But wait, there’s more!
There’s no business like org business like no business I know
Everything about it is concealing
Everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that crappy feeling
When they are stealing your car and house
There’s no people like org people, they scream when stats are low
Even though you once were truly in the fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
They will find a way to steal your precious gold
Let’s all shut down this show
I have no words. This the the Golden Age of Moxie.
?
Now that’s some funny shit!
Good rhyme!
Moxie this is so very clever! Some of the younger people may not “get it” but I do! I remember when this was a hit in the 1950’s from “My Fair Lady”. Thank you for being so clever!!
Outstanding post, Moxie!
Thanks Surfer!
My pleasure Christine – all for a good cause.
Hmmmm ” No business like show business” was sung by Ethel Merman. She was not in My Fair Lady. Just saying.
Who said it was?
Christine said it was from My Fair Lady.
C’mon Moxie, don’t you read your fan mail ?
She was responding to my first one which was from My Fair Lady. The second was from Annie Get Your Gun. Check out the time stamps.
Moxie, you gotta go somewhere with this. Great to see your hilarous ditties here, but you deserve a wider audience. Maybe you could find a pianist (or do you play yourself?) and open for Cathy Schenkelberg’s “Squeeze My Cans” somewhere.
Thanks for your appreciation bixntram.
Michael Chan…….I think I dated his Sister? I know I shot his uncle…..
His great grandfather Charlie Chan was quite an actor too.
Damn, I missed his Aussie visit. Gosh, life can deal you some bad cards at times. He’s my hero!
No. I shot the sister and you dated the uncle.
Well, I shot the sheriff. But I didn’t get the deputy.
Just a little more practice, Aquamarine. You’re almost there.
Ok, then, will you stand still?
C’mon now! I’m old, honey! Sitting still might be a tough one.
Number One great grandson?
?
You mean my grandson isn’t great? I don’t know how to break it to him.
Are these posters that go up in places for the general public to see?
Bonnie, Only the General Scientology koolaide drinking public sees these posters inside their tax free money extraction/extortion buildings or by email to them. These posters are not intended for anyone but hypnotized robots to get them into a locked room so they can fleece them with no interruptions from reality.
Thanks Robert. I assume this is another way to suck more money from people that show up at these things?
That is why the non kool aide consumers can readily detect that giant sucking sound that is always present with Dave and His closest minions. It is also why Dave likes Hollywood Blvd so much; there is a huge supply of CICSMFs to be found and exploited!
With all that sucking you end up as a straw man.
A guy who sells straw? Well that sucks.

Hillarious Mike!
Wasn’t that always his name?
It is always what he has done but his name rhymed with teddy …… freddy!
And Betty.
If you take his first name and put the accent on on the last syllable, you get “Alfredd E.” Ring a bell with anyone? “What, me query? I don’t have time; gotta get to the bank again before my plane leaves for Australia.”
Well I’m certainly not going to worry about it.
How I miss that magazine.
Always amazed and stressed by Thursday posts. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be continually asked for money and potluck dishes for years and years. So sad for the members being squeezed month after month. I know they are good people or they never would have gotten involved in the first place. I also worry for the graphic artists that create them. No doubt they are under pressure to pump out hundreds of unique designs but may also be held accountable for low turn out for the events advertised. I hope they can get out and use their skills for their own livelihood. So glad for all who are working to save them.
I love the funnies, Mike! How ever do you get access to these flyers?
Seeing kids in these ads, makes me so sad.
Lots of horseshit, no horse.
Lots of horseshit! They use front end loaders to get rid of the constant piling up of horseshit. It’s a NEVER ending chore…
To paraphrase Led Zeppelin, The Stench Remains The Same.
She was only a horseman’s daughter
But…..ALL of the horsemanure
Shouldn’t that Thanksgiving Potluck invitation say, “Bring your favorite checkbook to share”?? 😉
My town puts on a wonderful FREE community dinner each Thanksgiving. Not just for the homeless; the food is great and a lot of people come. A number of local restaurants and stores chip in. There’s live but non-intrusive music. There’s a big glass urn for donations, but no one pushes it. The dinner really is free. What are the chances of a scion org putting out a “voluntary” contribution jar? About the same as that of a snowball in hell.
That’s a lovely and generous gesture. Sounds like you live in a great town, Bix.
I was about to name the town, but for now I’ll just say it’s in Vermont; don’t want some robots showing up at the community dinner handing out WTH pamphlets.
LOL! I hear you.
Bix, you’ve already mentioned enough details that OSA could probably find you if they wanted to – I’ve sort of paid attention, because my second home is in the region, and I sometimes pass your way.
If you ever hear someone shouting “bigot” at you on the street, keep in mind that it just might be a fellow SP 🙂
Two local churches & the Boy Scouts in our hometown collect donated food & then this week end we make food baskets (boxes of food) & deliver them to the needy families in the area. We meet at the church, all the food is broken into separate food groups & boxes filled. After all the food deliveries are accomplished….we meet back at the church for home made pizza, soda & home made desserts for all the participants!.
The Boy Scouts and those churches are way off policy. I mean, come on, where’s the exchange?
You bet, Briget. They even fleece the sheep at their Christmas parties. Disgusting.
