Thursday Funnies

August 18, 2022 By Mike Rinder 17 Comments

 

A lot of promo this week has been devoted to the massively, spectacular, epic wider bridge OMG! But there are some other bits and pieces worthy of comment…

 

Postcard Mania?

This is the venue, not one of the numerous completely empty Potemkin village buildings on N. Ft Harrison?

 

What is she holding up?

Why are they blanking out a routing form?

 

Deep questions and an epiphany

Scientologists love good conspiracy theories. Global Elites in secret perverted activity! Things TOO disturbing to share.

But scientology has the answer. The ONLY answer. So, join LRH’s army!

Wow…

 

The Chan Man

He is live in Los Angeles!

Peddling bs like he was sprinting to the finish line of the Tour de France.

 

Chicago still poaching staff…

40 year staff veteran from where?

 

“Veteran” staff member, from where?

 

The tourist org

You know they have an “ideal” org in Madrid?

And they speak Spanish there….

Is it really that much cheaper?

 

 

Now that’s a pairing

What do Long Island and Hawaii have in common?

A small and failing org is about the ONLY thing.

They probably don’t realize Hawaii is not AN island.

 

 

More discount pricing

How can it possibly be a more viable option to fly from Australia to South Africa to go the AO to do SRD!!!

This is something that can be done in any Class V Org — at least it used to be. Even if you can only do it in AO’s now, how can it be cheaper to fly halfway round the world?

I bet the AO in Australia just loves this!

 

Kiddie Corner

No words…

 

“Come on” advertising…

Did they beat the record? No.

Who started on staff? Nobody.

Top org? Not a chance…

Next strategy? Give us more money

 

Coming soon?

Why soon? What are they waiting for? They just need a “few references from LRH” — surely they know what they are?

 

More blanked out stuff?

Why?

And then this…

 

Why we did it…

We bought the bs, hook, line and sinker.

That ideal org in Philadelphia is a joke. But they DID get your money.

 

The last 300?

Not a chance. Unless they are fudging their numbers even more than they have been for the past 20 years.

And you can bet this includes everyone who has been declared SP or died since they started counting (they did get rid of BT’s, you can’t deny that… even if they went bad afterwards).

But I hope they DO announce this as being “Done Sir.” Because we can all then observe what changes in the world.

Not a thing of course. But after 20 years of hype, I wonder how they will play it?

 

Now that’s a “Done Sir”

We put on our party hats and “played this first part of the game” — that qualifies as a “done” in nobody’s book.

I think it was pin the tail on the donkey…

 

NOT a nasty webinar

Not like the OT VIIIs from the Freewinds do. Or the Super Power Pole Runners do for the FSO. Nothing as crass as that. Down in Harlingen they do it right.

    It’s clear all of these people should have

    SCIENTOLOGY SUCKER

    tattooed in bright red ink on their foreheads. Jesus fucking Christ you can’t make this BatSHITCrazy crap up.

    As always the pictures of small children make me want to vomit. Like Mr. Rinder, they are being sucked into a thing they will have to crawl out of, a moral crater, after age 25. They have no choice but, like baseball cards, I collect all these photos.

    To make a one-liner or one-paragraph, of all of Hubbard’s efforts using Scientology:

    ‘To give people wins and promises by which to gain their trust and participation as “Scientologists,” and then deliberately, organized and intentionally, to destroy these wins and betray these promises – WITHOUT letting people in on the fact that it is him, L. Ron Hubbard, who did and does so destroy and betray them.’

    This was for me an important realization that came in several, spectacular stages – each time returning more of my abilities.

    So I like to share it – with those who might now like to listen and maybe restore or confirm more of their own, native abilities.

    with best possible wishes,

    Koos

    Amazing that they are still successfully conning people into giving money to open their “Ideal” building (The Cunningham Building) here in Philly. They’ve owned it since 2007 and the only thing they’ve done in 15 years is some bare minimum required maintenance when they were about to be dragged into court by the city. It’s just sitting there an empty shell.

    I really hope they end up being forced to sell it, because it’s a really neat piece of architecture in a great location and I would like to see it developed by just about anybody else.

    “…the only guarantee of undoing this monstrous cesspool of aberration is Scientology.”

    That really worked for Danny Masterson, didn’t it?!

    It’s always the next great thing. It’s always expansion and success are right around the corner.. Decades have gone by with one bright idea after the next which is gonna be the thing to put Scientology on the worldwide map.
    Well the front page news that the scientologists are not reading is that Scientology is over.. Journalists and television writers, and comics up on stages are flaming Scientology and all the terrible things they do and the stupid things they believe.
    But Hey, let’s go to yet another reg fest, bloodbath event, where we can all enthuse about how successful we are not.

      Lili, I love reading your stories every Sunday. Thank you for sharing. I’m sure it’s painful to relive the past but I am grateful that you are out of the cult. Ex-Scientologists who speak out are very brave and I admire all of you. As a recovering alcoholic, I know that by sharing the wreckage of our past, we help others to recover. Thanks again. P.s can’t wait to read your book, mike.

        Hey Alabama, well done you on your recovery. It’s true writing some of these events from my time in Scientology can be rough. I think I’d feel braver if I used my real name, but …baby steps.

    Re: More Blanked Out Stuff

    Peter Alemis is a writer at the infamous STAND blog.

    “Born in Chicago, Peter graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.A. in Economics. He worked in finance in New York City and Chicago. He is a second-generation Scientologist.”

      And now he is a 2nd gen _recognized_ scientologist. Is he even clear yet? Too busy writing attack blogs for STAAD?

        Peter seems to have zoomed up the auditing side of the Bridge (he is, at least, an OT VI), grisianfarce, and is now taking some time on the training side. (For those who don’t know, the certificate he holds– Hubbard Recognized Scientologist–is what one receives after completing Level Zero. Like Peter, I am a Level Zero auditor.)

    LRH must be laughing his ass off somewhere – every time I see his picture he has the sly 1.1 smile. Oh Ron, how we don’t miss you.

      That {{groan}} is just a half-step away from laughing, which is an appropriate response, 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

“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

“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
