Thursday Funnies

October 17, 2019 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

 

 

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…

Bobby Wiggins is sadly not much of an advertisement for “OT VII Super Power Completion”

 

This their plaque?

They can’t even get the first name right?

 

Such a terrible lie

And they put it out every year around this time.

Seriously? Now that’s an offer you can’t refuse…

 

 

 

Worst photoshop ever

Looks like a cardboard cutout pasted onto the page

 

 

 

All new same old same old…

 

So desperate to get anyone to come…

 

 

The “real” Chiefs?

They’re serious?

Apparently these people are not from Kansas City or they would not dare send anything like this out…

 

 

Concerts, burgers, 3 course “gourmet” buffets

They will literally try anything…

 

Old Mick finally put out to pasture…

Apparently there was nothing for him to do on the Freewinds any more. He has been in the Sea Org nearly 50 years.

 

Wizarding Wonder?

The only real wonder is how much more money this is going to take before it ends?

The wizardry is escaping without being bankrupted.

 

Scrounge in the garbage…

Somehow this is SOOO appropriate

A celebrity speaker…

Who is so NOT a celebrity that we won’t use their name.

But we do have a reptile zoo for Graduation… That is a new one.

 

Blown away with specifics

“A lot of field activity” and “higher attendance.”

And its from the Sea Org members stationed in Columbus to try to make this place “ideal”

 

Does Dan York look like he is winning in life?

Not to me either.

 

More camel droppings…

They think this makes any sense at all?

 

At least she looks better than Bobby Wiggins

But not as fun as Behki Khoza BKBIG3

 

I can now take on the universe

I learned to tie knots, scrub the decks and row a lifeboat and I am “1000% better.”

Did they also give you some Jamaican ganga?

 

What we need help with…

Apparently, everything

 

The Battle Creek Bomb(ing)ers

They ARE putting an ideal org there. They’ve had an empty building for a decade, but it is happening now.

Really.

Well, not really.

We just have to say that.

We can’t say it’s hopeless…

 

It really starts with you giving us your money

That is what the IAS is all about

 

But how?

Buying buildings?

 

Now here’s some bs

From a master….

 

Fun time!

 

Festive celebration

It’s day of the dead. Of course it’s a reason for scientology to celebrate?

Dont forget, they have face painting!

Anything to get anyone to come in for any reason…

 

The Pasadena gray hairs found a kid…

Stuck her front and center.

 

Long Island?

Seriously? NOTHING has happened here for decades.

New Haven has had a building for a decade and done nothing.

But like Battle Creek, it’s going to happen now.

 

5 years since they were taken over by the Sea Org and became the “model” for nobody

They still haven’t cleared their block, let alone neighborhood…

 

I guess they had to get to Hawaii eventually

That and Albuquerque the two traditionally small and failed orgs in WUS

 

What is this magic kick about?

Now it’s the “history” of magic? Going to learn about Houdini? Hubbard’s Chinese rope trick?

 

Absolutely Classic

“It all happened one year ago today.”

Attention — see below for change of date???

 

They’re DONE with their fundraising…

Yeah, that was last week

 

Less is not more…

I don’t even know what this means?

    Last time I talked to him (six years ago), he was on staff in Nashville.

    A few thoughts.

    1 When the Columbus people (Margy and Tiffany) end their flyer with the words “This is True” that sets off the alarms in my mind. Why was that necessary to be said? Did they get called out on some lies in their previous flyers?

    2 Dan York charges $75, meanwhile you can go see The SpongeBob Musical for $40-$80.

    3 The thought that Michael Wisner was wearing a wig NEVER occurred to me.

    4. At first glance I thought the little girl in the Pasadena for Ventura poster had a 60’s style Bouffant.

    Just like engineer and highly decorated war hero Dr Hubbard with his three two wives, the cult that Ron built is still taking a highly proactive approach to the truth.

    Today’s Pinocchio Award:

    “In fact, going up the Bridge fast is such a good idea, even the US government allows you to deduct your donations.”

    For starters, given the adversarial relationship the cult has had with the US government, why trot it out as a witness now? Ignorant wogs that they are. Not to mention, if the US gov’t had any idea of what is sold as “the Bridge” and at what cost to the cult’s marks, it may even take another long look at this whole scheme.

    But if tax avoidance strategies were the mark of gov’t endorsement then selling drugs or running prostitutes should be even more highly endorsed. Look, no taxes. You get to keep all the money. That must mean Uncle Sam wants you to do this!

      But if you get caught with the drugs, you pay taxes on your ill-gotten gains (sort of like the Feshbachs did with their tax-avoidance scams – which by the way they have appealed to the 11th Circuit Court – they really do believe they walk on water.

      Can’t wait until that happens with scientology.

    So Duggan turns out to be the biggest whale supporting Ventura, even though she lives at the other end of the state. Plus they’re left trying to skirt around the embarrassing fact that another family broke up and the successful whale blew, and so it’s no longer Bob & Trish, just her and, nominally, the kids.

    The Foothills whale must not be that big a deal if the mission is still scrounging for a few thousand dollars to update their basement space so it doesn’t look so much like the set of That ’70s Show – though even the amateurish renderings they posted still slow it filled with old cast-off furniture from that era.

    Nearly a decade ago, Battle Creek was claiming that they were going to move into part of the property they bought almost two decades ago, while they renovated the rest, but apparently they couldn’t even pull off something that would have made sense. I checked and it appears that they are not as bad off as some orgs and are only stuck paying about $9,000 per year in taxes for the property that they’re not using, but interestingly it is still under the old name of the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY ANN ARBOR.

    Anyone want to bet that the “next targets” for Chicago include more fundraising, like paying for furnishings? Though I suppose they also have to do their central files, find housing for any additional staff who come but won’t actually be earning enough money to live on, and so on.

    I’m actually appalled at many of these Scientology advertisements. As a Cardiac Critical Care RN , I was horrified to read background info on Michael Wiesner and his proposed treatments for Coronary Artery Plaque. Hyperlipidemia or fat accumulation in the hearts arteries are not caused by calcium and free radicals that can be cleansed away with mega vitamins and IV chelation . It’s caused by a buildup of fats either by diet or genetic predisposition or a combination of both. Treatment with mega doses of vitamins DOES NOT TREAT the disease at all . In fact it is dangerous to every organ system in your body when you ply it with vitamins in doses too high for your kidneys and liver to clear . Thus making the Scientology treatment the TOXIC treatment that should be avoided like the plague if you value your life at all.
    Lastly, the Orgs latest obsession with Magic must be the only explanation they now have for Scientology’s practice of the oldest magic trick in the world. Known as how to separate a Fool from his money.

        Yea, all aspects of that purif is bullshit. It does nothing to rid the body of toxins. And so much of it is just plain stupid. Yea right, drink a bunch of straight liquid oil so that it replaces the bad fat. No, it just adds a bunch of unhealthy fat to what’s already there. There are ways to help the body rid itself of toxins, however dangerous amounts of vitamins, niacin, drinking liquid fat, and forced sweating ain’t one of them. And it can be really dangerous for many people.

    Seeing Jim Kalergis doing all these “magic of OT” talks, when he had been inactive for decades, leads me to believe he is wanting to get back in the fold for auditing or something before he dies, so these talks may be his amends project for the years when he told the registrars and others to get lost and he was off lines. Back in the day when he used to give lots of talks to Scns in the 80’s he was pushing 60 even then, which means by now he must be about 90 to 95 years old now.

        Jody, keep your knickers on. When I saw him giving talks in the mid 80’s he was 58 to 60 years old then. So add the years up to 2020 and that would be 35 years plus 58 would make him in his 90’s. If he’s younger than that then that means, to me anyway, that he looked way older than his age in the 80’s. So if he’s only 75 years old, then mozel tov to him.

          Who can guess ages? He may have looked older than his age back then but I never thought he was 60, maybe middle 40s. Suggest you have more exact info before announcing he’s 95 or something. At least try to be accurate. He may be still in but he’s a friend and a good guy.

            Jodie, I liked Jim’s talks back then too. I too think he is a good guy. He just looked much older than he was which made me guess his age wrong. But that’s just my opinion. I did wish him mozeltov for being younger than he looks. I also wish he could wake up, smell the coffee and get out of the church.

      I wondered what Jim was up to for years and was sad recently to see he was still in. I didn’t spot him in the Funnies though – I must be blind.

      And actually I think he was in his 40’s in the mid-to-late 80’s. (which would put him in his 70’s now) I could say more about how I know him but I won’t here. I remember hearing that Barbara had had a miscarriage during that time period. (And of course people, including my own mother, were trying to attach significance to it like PTSness/case etc. Same thing happened to me when I had a miscarriage and made the mistake of telling the org staff calling me on the phone – “Oh I think you need to come in to ethics…” What??? Thanks for that. “Go to hell” is what I wanted to say – not that that would have meant much to someone in the S.O.

      Which brings me to the other sad state of Scientologists – that of always having to be perfect. It’s a facade, but a necessary one, because to be sick, sad, have a miscarriage, a child with autism, a chronic illness, cancer – all mean you are weak, PTS, the effect of you case, not applying the tech, and thus it is YOUR FAULT. One of the most freeing things about getting out was realizing everything was not my fault!

        Excellent comment, Annie Oakley! I agree with you. I had a friend who was born premature with a birth defect that never got found out until later in life. So going untreated all that time, it got worse and worse and he ignored symptoms or explained them away until it hit critical mass and he ended up in the ER fighting for his life. So they put in an artificial heart valve and all was well. But not at Flag. Since he was on OT VII, they hauled him in to look for SP’s and one untrained little Flag ethics page even said he must be a bad Solo auditor or out ethics to have pulled that in. This from a guy who had never audited a day in his life and was not even Clear. (Everybody’s an expert!) Never mind that it was a birth defect from birth…. there had to be an SP or an out ethics situation that made him “pull it in.” That’s the mindset that they’ve been brainwashed with.

    Of there is anything that this evil destructive cult does that makes me wish it would absolutely be destroyed it’s them using an innocent child as a prop. And just what kind of life is that poor baby going to have? It just doesn’t get any worse than child abuse, and this is child abuse. And these old farts are despicable too IMO.

      Cult public are graying rapidly. Apart from staff and SO, org publics are seniors or closely approaching senior-citizenhood. And there are hardly any youngsters coming in except the children and grandchildren of the oldsters. All the 70s and 80s photos of Scientologists showed young people in their 20s and 30s and hardly anyone over 40. Today’s photos show some people in their late 50s, and many in their 60s and 70s. Can’t wait to see them on their walkers and their wheelchairs tricked out as pirates! Too funny!

    Bobby Wiggins, on the other hand, just looks like some poor, homeless person they grabbed off the street and cleaned up for a photo shoot. Of course, he probably can’t afford a decent dentist. If he keeps on giving to the cult, he WILL be homeless!

    ****Oops! I just realized the character was ‘Mr. Tudball’ and his secretary was “MRS. Wiggins’. I guess I’ll never be a Scientologist. I can actually admit when I’m wrong!

    I remember Mick Davies from the 70s. I am not surprised he is still “in” as from all I witnessed the boy had no talent, ability or intelligence and surely could never “make it” in the real world if he left. Maybe this is why the cult concentrates on child prospects? Get em before they learn enough to support themselves on the “outside” so they’ll be trapped forever.

    Katya auditing at SFO. She is merely another girl from Russia the cult has duped into joining with promises a better life. I’ve spoken with a few who were pressed to join the Sea Org but saw through the bullshit and did not fall for it. Personally, with my experience living and working in both the SO and Russia, I’d take the latter ANY day.

    About “Now here’s some bs”:

    Really? How desperate they are in promoting the author of a non -Scientology book to org public as a means to get people to attend some Purif seminar?

    If I remember well, using org lines to promote one’s external business is an ethics offense.

    Well, after having heard a long speech from an IAS fundraiser on chemtrail conspiracy theories during an event, as a means to make people worried for their future so as to make them “contribute” their money to the IAS for the solution (they didn’t state which Scientology campaign addresses chemtrails, anyways, I’m still wondering), I shouldn’t be surprised about these “PR stunts”.

    So desperate for money.

    The magic Man Stan Gerson is still around. I remember meeting him on the Freewinds in 1988.

    Scientology has really changed its Marketing. They will try just about anything to get people moving from “George the ice cream man” to Football. I heard Miscavige bought a large printing press and with today’s software they can just pump out these ad. When I was in Scientology from 1972-1988, people were curious about Hubbard’s wild claims. We proved that he was a con artist and that OT power was a myth.
    The “Church” now seems to be just a lot of social narcissism. Some become larger egos now and some become victims. But in its core Scientology is evil. These posters are just a cover up. My good friend has a son in Scientology and my buddy was about to be declared and his son was going to totally disconnect. I told him to just start lying. It was the best advice he ever got and he thanks me all of the time. Just do what they do and that is lie. It works. When they tried to recover me in 1990, I just joked with anyone who called. They got the message as they could see I was far ahead of Hubbard.

      George, the “Good Humor ice cream man” who is helping out the Foothills Msn, is not such a good guy after all. He and his wife Fair Gamed me when I left the church and was declared. First his wife, my friend of 30 years, spied on me for the church and reported back to them about me. I was suspect to them because I didn’t embrace with open arms, the idea of my son joining SO and being posted at Gold. Although I did say I would help him get all the stuff he needed to join SO in the PAC area instead. This wasn’t enough for them. They were investigating me because they felt I had “enemy line” on Gold, and that I could only have gotten that enemy line from reading certain SP’s on line blogs.

      Shortly before my declare came down for the heinous crime of reading on the internet, George, the man touting ice cream, told one of his workers that he was no longer to take jobs from “that woman,” meaning me, and that if he ever caught him working for me again he would fire him on the spot. See years earlier George referred him to me as a handyman and I’d been using his handyman services for years. But George’s Fair Gaming of me put the fear of God into him so he disconnected and he was not even a Scn. Just call it collateral damage.

      But in true Fair Game fashion, George let him know that any enemy of his would have to be an enemy of his employee too.

      This is what our church brings people to: spying, reporting, threatening and Fair Game. Oh and let’s not forget the biggest one of all: Disconnection. Both George and his wife disconnected from me with much make wrong and anger.

          Cindy,
          I probably should explain why I felt such an air of superiority over Hubbard. Foolproof loves to mock me because I am very proud to have been Jesuit trained. He only looks at the bad reputation that they had during the Middle Ages. What he does not know is that the Jesuits in the 1960’s were in revolt of the Pope. The Pope condemned some of their progressive books and it was a fight. When I started training I got an unbelievable overview of Philosophy, Theology and Metaphysics. By the time I got into Scientology, I was very well versed in all of them. Hubbard was to me then merely a plaything. I only wanted to know what he had. When I learned his total contradictions on OT VIII, I left him easily with no regrets. Hubbard was fundamentally flawed as is the entire subject of Scientology. After OT VIII, when they called, I just played with them.

        Thank you for the insightful information. You were certainly targeted by these Scientologists. My heart goes out to you for the pain you must have felt when they messed with your family.
        I avoided all of that because my kids were born after we left Scientology. My kids thank me everyday for avoiding this rotten “Church”.
        I was so lucky to have always felt an air of superiority over Hubbard. In the end that is what saved me

          George M White, Thanks for the heartfelt wishes. I am so glad you didn’t have to go through the heartbreak of losing your kids to disconnection at COS’s bidding. The Scn who told his employee to never work for me again was George Collins and his wife who reported on me to the church of Scientology was Debbie Collins. They are big drinkers of the Kool Aid and live in Shadow Hills, CA near Sunland.

            Cindy, Thanks for the names. I think it is very important to expose these people to the public. In fact, I think a national database of these people would really work. We could have all of the troublesome Scientologists tracked in a database.

              George M White, as far as I’m concerned, any person who is still IN the church and drinking the KA IS a troublesome Scn. They are the kind who will turn on their own grandmother on a dime to disconnect and to harm her using the Fair Game policy that the church still encourages, despite Tommy Davis saying on tv that they don’t do that anymore. We have scores of stories and testimony from ex Scns who left and who were fair gamed and disconnected from for no good reason. Just because someone decides to leave a faith is no reason to shun and fair game them. Other churches allow you to leave and even speak out and they don’t get vindictive about it.

                Then every Scientologist should be in the database with a danger code.

                Every one of them – staff, Sea Org and public, young and old – every doomed, damned, iced-blooded one of them, no exceptions, yes.

    OK, it’s early morning as I read today’s funnies. I just hope that when Stan Gerson performs Earth’s oldest recorded magic effect it won’t be the ol’ ‘pull my finger’ gag. More likely it will be ‘watch me make the money from your purse disappear’ before Thursday at 2:00.

    If they can photoshop crowds, DM and other promo to appear to be something they aren’t I wonder why they didn’t give Mr. Wiggins a little creative help on his “Super Power Look”.

    Wouldn’t it be fun to have a voting scale every Thursday to choose:

    – The Furthest From Reality
    – The Greediest
    – The Funniest
    – Most Likely To Succeed
    – Most Damaging To Mankind

    You’d have to number each piece but I think we’d all have a fun time giving our opinions. Or make a Google Doc Survey that we could go to. 🙂

      Bobby Wiggins does look sick. Cancer?
