Thursday Funnies

November 11, 2021 By Mike Rinder 23 Comments

 

 

 

Lots of found parking spaces and caught the green light…

There’s been a pretty big devaluation of “OT phenomena”

 

AOLA could use some of this…

Wonder why these guys who are so good aren’t 10X the success of the orgs?

 

Instead of being on course?

Oh my….

 

Unites?

This is the big IAS event this year? Wow

 

The First Ideal Continent…

Just Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane to go for an ideal “Continent” — but not a single org in India, China, Indonesia etc.

Seems just a little bit of a hollow accomplishment.

 

Part of the Bubble?

You are ALL part of the bubble. It’s the unreal world of scientology….

 

Check out those crowds

And that’s the staged shot

 

LAPD Hollywood Division

Still sucking up to scientology

 

What is it with Graduation?

Oh yeah, nobody is on course or getting auditing. So they have to use up some time with “Red Ribbon Week” and a Latin fusion band.

 

 

Not the association one would want…

 

A virtual “briefing”

But very nothing virtual about the fundraising. Just try to pay with some virtual money…

 

Mexican graduation at Flag?

 

Bet this gets a huge turnout…

Not

 

No better place to be

Christmas in a bubble, what a joy.

 

Oi Vey

It’s the old BS “you can be a scientologist and a Jew too, see we have Hannukah candles on our promo…”

 

This is just weird…

Is this what these people aspire to?

Go OT and grow a tail….

 

The Valley is Uniting too?

And they have the Jive Asses?? OMG.

 

Everyone has an IAS Event….

This is the second one?

But Malmo scored Jeff Pomerantz. He must be so 1980’s that he gets assigned Malmo.

Next stop, Harare.

 

Sis and Bro

Check out her list of credentials. Impressive!

 

Second Anniversary

Two years and not even a blip on the radar.

Even though this org is manned almost entirely with Sea Org members.

 

Eternity awaits…

How is this possible? I thought we are all eternal spiritual beings already?

 

More law enforcement being co-opted

 

Fly solo

In an old biplane?

 

Look at those stupendous results

Sold 2 books!

 

New Era and WISE

All one big ball of wax

 

Yeah, right….

After 20 years they are racing to completion

 

They got one Humanitarian

Don’t nag a rise

 

The guy who won’t join staff…

 

Celebrate the implant

It’s a lot of fun!

    It’s hypocritical when the co$ flat out lies about members being able to be Jewish and a scientologist too. It’s deceitful! Like Joy Villa saying she’s a “Christian and a scientologist”. And if I remember correctly, recently, didn’t a member of the City of Clearwater’s D.D.B. state, during a public meeting, that “a lot of scientologists are Christian’s too” (or something very close). In 1993 the co$ was granted tax exempt status. In agreement with the irs granting said exemption, the cherch stated a scientologist practices only scientology. So, either you are a scientologist or you’re not.

    All so vague, nothing like their old school advertisements for specific, well-defined services delivered like some futuristic technology.

    That Jeff Pomerantz flier is one of the few things I’ve seen out of Scientology Sweden that isn’t in English. Any idea why they do that?

    Jeff Pomeranz: “Next stop Harare.”
    I’ve been laughing for hours and maybe tomorrow too.
    Who knows what condition that org is in.
    So snarky.

      Yeah, it is all the time. The string keeps getting wet and it unravels so we spend just about every day doing it up again. We tried bungee cords but people kept stealing them, tying them to trees and jumping off cliffs and railway bridges.

    Yea, O.T.’s are good at postulating and finding parking spaces.
    I guess these days it’s pretty easy to be O.T. in any parking lot at any church of Scientology.
    “I’m so O.T., I found a whole parking lot full of spaces”!

    Shane and Amanda Beats live in Melbourne not Brisbane. They are desperate for an ideal org in Brisbane but I doubt anyone is going to the current org.

    I love the flyer about doing the OCA and buying Dianetics. Most people are forced to so they can get the hell out of there are doing their so called “free personality test.”

      You are correct Joe. The Brisbane org has a set of very dilapidated, narrow set of steps leading up to a couple of 50’s dated rooms. A couple of girls seem to be bored having to only talk to each other for the few hours they are open for business. It could be easily mistaken for an old ‘D’ class escort agency and massage parlour.

    Omg. Matt Reeve WAS CO WISE ANZO back in the day before all the Idle Morgue crap came in.

    And now the brag is he’s been busted down to a DEPUTY post in the local org. That means he’s probably Day AND Fdn staff because there is SFA staff on either org.

    What a thing to promote!!!

    The real world of $cientology is collapsing nicely.

    So exciting to see all the great promotion for “much ado about nothing”.
    The absurdity of all the success seminars so people can make more money to go into more debt donating to the cult. Just psychotic.

      This is part of a reply posted on the ESMBR site:

      The term “NRM” [New Religious Movements] is used repeatedly throughout this paper. It was Scientology Inc. paid apologist, [J. Gordon] Melton, who coined the acronym “NRM” as a substitute for “cult.”

      This is superficial, lazy, “scholarship,” like so many other papers.

      The reply was interesting with an aspect of scn Inc. attemting to attain credibility.

    There are many ways to notice the shortening days in the northern hemisphere, one is by the holidays and another is the going for broke $cieno series of ‘briefings’ and ‘conferences’ and prosperity seminars that all run under the IAS banner. Soon the solstice will come and then all of the ‘reduce your taxes by spending on us’ ads from $cientology will come too.

Important Quotes

If the org slumps during this transition period, don't engage in "fund raising" or "selling postcards" or borrowing money. Just make more income with Scientology. L Ron Hubbard From HCOPL URGENT ORG PROGRAMMING
"We own a tremendous amount of property. We own a tremendous amount of material and so forth, and it keeps growing. But that’s not important. When buildings get important to us, for God sakes, some of you born revolutionists will you please blow up central headquarters". L Ron Hubbard Lecture 31 Dec 1960
"Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know is what you know and to have the courage to know and say what you have observed".- LRH from Personal Integrity
"It is necessary to happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists of professing to believe what he does not believe." Thomas Paine
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - Martin Luther King
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - Martin Luther King
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
“Communication is the universal solvent” - L Ron Hubbard
“When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.” Thomas Paine
"Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world would do this, it would change the earth." William Faulkner
"The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis." Dalai Lama
