And, what’s very telling at that event in Albuquerque with Ms. Kingsley is that the staff member, sitting down at the table (right frame) has both fists clenched while she’s putting on her game face.

Pressure in paradise.

Yes I caught that too, Oracle. Discrimination on the basis of gender. Then what can you expect when the leader is a misogynist

The woman at the side of the other one (“in her left boob”) picture — that is the IAS registrar, who used to be married to LD Sledge. I think her name is Kathy but not sure. She’s a top IAS reg.

ALL of her dynamics, including her latest 2-D, are upside down and inside out now.

Exactly. Thanks for the logical, truthful breakdown.

1. Let’s say ONLY one half of the claimed 12 million scientologists resides in the US. That would mean about 2% of he US population are scientologists.

2. Let’s also assume that these scientologists are evenly distributed across the US (an assertion the “church” denies when independent polls turn up only a few thousand scientologists in the US; the “church” claims these polls are unfair, as large numbers of scientologists reside in a few areas such as LA and FL). In other words, we stipulate–in the “church’s” favor–that there are no more scientologists per capita in LA than in Utah, Mississippi or Wyoming. 2%

3. The LA metro area is home to approximately 18 million people. This means that–super conservatively estimated–about 360,000 scientologists (2%) reside there–in convenient traveling distance to the Shrine. Again, this number would be expected to be much greater, if the “church’s” claims were applied.

If not one single person outside of the LA metro area were allowed to attend (and the invitation makes it clear that “world-wide” attendance is expected), only 6,300, or 1.75% of these Angeleno scientologists would be lucky enough to be able to attend! And this is not a surprise event–scientologists world-wide KNOW it’s coming. A ticket scalper’s wildest dream!

Cut the world-wide number by a factor of a whopping 6, and assume there are “only” 2 million scientologists worldwide. Keep the rest of the generous assumptions, and only 1 in 10 Angeleno scientologists would have to show up to fill the Shrine!

Why oh why is the “church” struggling to arm-twist people to attend? Why does there have to be a “please show up; we need you for the video” plea? With 12 million or even with 1 or 2 million scientologists worldwide, this is impossible to fathom!

It is part of the “smoke and mirrors” to qualify for tax exemption. It keeps the Show on the Road and Scientology Working. Lawrence Brennan, a Scientology Staff member turned whistle blower – writes all about in in his affidavit found on the internet. (Thank you for coming clean Lawrence Brennan – RIP).

You wouldn’t want them to kill real naugas, would you?

Whatever happened to those Infinity Club jackets? All they ever showed were people’s heads and the logos shooped onto stock jacket model photos. Were there ever any real ones?

Here is how it works at Flag. First there are staff who have the job of herding some public and staff into
the auditorium. The staff have already been briefed that cooperation is needed to have a “service” as part of tax exemption. It is mainly low level staff that can be spared for 30 minutes without slowing down the flow of money. Someone dresses with a minister collar and reads some words of wisdom from LRH. There is a choir made up of a few staff that sing a couple songs. Sometimes the baby of a local Scientology public gets a sort of welcome ceremony. The baby gets introduced to its parents and welcomed to the world. Pretty corny. No one pays any money. No praying. No acknowledgement of any god. Just enough bullshit to qualify as a “Sunday service”. Okay, we got that act out of the way. BACK TO WORK!!!!

I think you have a Scientology visitor Mike. Should we write up a knowledge report and send it to Dave?

Its great to see your blog making a difference.

That’s true, OSD, but then you can’t sleep for long because you continually have to keep clapping and acknowledging and getting out of your chair for standing Os. Events are actually a unique type of torture, i.e. Can’t sleep, must sleep; can’t stay awake, must stay awake.
