A "church" that is obssessed with money and features a J.Paul Getty quote about it in its " promotional material". Hmmm, yes, I'm feeling intensely spiritual, compassionate vibes emanating from these folks... It sounds TOTALLY legit. Sign me up!

Was thinking about the ongoing civil lawsuits today and wondering if anyone has tried to sue COS in small claims court? A few states including California require that you have to represent yourself and can’t have a lawyer present. I realize the settlement cap amount would be grossly less than what anyone suing Scientology deserves. But the thought of Judge Judy getting ahold of some of the Scientology upper talking heads makes me smile. One can dream.

Hey Mike, happy to read you wrote a book. Looking forward to it! Too bad it’ll only come out in subjectively 27 billion years, but worth it. I’ll set an alarm. Currently in hibernation, found a nice heap of leaves already. Goodwinter, then, you restless bipeds. (Seriously, WTF? You guys don’t even get a winter coat…)

“They’ll try to cash in on anything”

Strange, could it be that that Bart Billings is a $camologist?

And the list and the bullshit goes on and…so I’m guessing the answer is, “Yes, he is a $camologist.”

Tipsforsuccess is a cheap lookingsite no doubt based on $camolo0gy’s penchant free open source crappy software.

Readers comments –

Jan Houston-Solari, $camologist.
Chris Canicosa-Miles, $camologist.
Mary Gessay, most likely a $camologist.
Susan Regier, see above.
Arte Maren, need I say anything more.
And the others listed will be part of (or have ties to) $camology.

Yet another tiresome $camology site and racket.

“Chicago is often referred to as a ‘cleaner’ New York…”

Hilarious!

I don’t live there but I know the city of Chicago and its neighborhoods fairly well. Never once have I heard it referred to as anything like New York, cleaner or otherwise.

Could this be a not-too-subtle attempt on the part of Chicago Org to moon-rip NY Org staff?

Yo Chicago Org –
Give New York Org a break, OK?
They still haven’t recovered from the moon-ripping they got from tiny little Harlem Org in 2016.
Harlem had a hell of a time getting staff.
They “outflowed” all over the US for staff.
No luck with that gambit so temp Sea Org finally bit the bullet and moon-ripped from New York Org.
Your reference for this would be one of Mike’s articles shortly after Harlem’s historic ribbon cutting.
Make sure you clear your words now.
Much love,
Aqua

I’m not as surprised at Silicon Valley being up pretty high on the cumulative points. They can be dead quiet, no activity, but have deep-pocketed whales to call on. They also do quite a bit of cross-pollination of public with stuff like a Chen seminar to public of all surrounding orgs (SF, Los Gatos, Stevens Creek).

I don’t know exactly what the points are earned from, but I do know that at least three of those could be running on 2-3 whales who pad their stats.

If they want to know “three ways to start the step-by-step process of increasing … income”, I can offer a one-step one-way answer:

Get as far away from Scn as possible. You’ll have more time to produce what you want that can be exchanged for income. You’ll have more of the money you already earn as income to improve yourself and your ability to increase your income.

Simple. No other step will provide as direct and measurable an improvement.

I have never been to Ireland, but have always wanted to go to this enchanted green isle. How can the Dublin org be so ugly? I am actually shocked (and it takes a lot to shock me about this cult)

The list of Birthday Game standings made me laugh, and just as Rinder noted: “Wow, if Joburg is way up there, and Silicon Valley, OMG things are even worse than I had thought. They are both completely and utterly empty…”

35 years ago I sat in a Class 5 Org Advisory Council meeting as we were given the Birthday Game standings, and even then it was just as Mike said. We were #2 and we were, org production wise, tiny and in awful shape. Each of the Ad Council members looked at each other in disbelief, but said nothing. I can guarantee, however, our thoughts were all the same, “WTF? How can this be? If we are #2, what in the world is going on with the rest of the Orgs???” Empty
