A scene from the SNL spoof of "We Stand Tall"

A scene from the SNL spoof of “We Stand Tall”

 

Questions, questions….

Anything with very deep pockets.

BALL (2)

As long as they have their own bank accounts…

BALL (3)

If you are prepared to ante up before you leave… in which case we would LOVE to see you.

BALL

 

 

 

Yeah right….

Still working on CF. That is the “model” ideal org.

 

CF

 

 

Nothing is free

Not even making gingerbread houses. How pathetic.

GINGER

 

 

The Dating Game

It’s migrated to EUS now…

HANNAH

 

 

Food, glorious food…

IAS

wow, it’s dessert AND dinner. Better be prepared to pony up some serious cash for this treat.

IAS2

 

 

Pasadena is going SH Size

It’s going to be the first teenage SH size org.

KID

 

 

Future OT IX and X Director of Training

If he hasn’t been busted, blown or more likely died of old age first…

Not so Mighty My Mammy

Maybe it should be GrandMammy?

And then what happened? Crashed and burned and never recovered.

MM

And it isn’t now. And hasn’t been since 1975. Did you also know that Philadelphia was once the capital of the US? And the Roman Empire spanned half the globe.

 

MM2

Did you also know the “Staff Captain” was abolished around 1979?

MM3

And how many of them are still there?

MM4

 

 

It’s being video’d

The code word for all scientologists “you need to show up to create a good [false] impression to show at the next event.”

NY

But how cheesy can you get, these posters look like they are from the 70’s and this is what passes for “big news” these days?

A success without substance

“It was fast.”

SD

 

 

Hmmm

If they are so good at teaching people how to get money, how come they don’t have any?

Read the small print

This church charges for Christmas dinner. No charity here.

A minor detail

Be good if you learned how to spell while you are now conquering the universe with your super powers…

SP (2)

Spaceman

Why don’t you drag yourself back from outer space and do something about the state of scientology. You don’t even have to visit the other side of the planet. Right here in the US would be good. Detroit needs some help. Hell, Orlando is a total shithhole and that’s just down the road.

Screenshot (685)

 

 

Seriously?

TAX2

 

 

Nothing the IRS would want more for XMas than…

An ideal Valley Org. Fer shure.

TAX

    “Orlando is a total shithhole ”

    Perhaps the place you stayed in on your income was below par.

    I stayed at the Hyatt as I do when in Miami from time to time.

    Keep up the good fight, for all the good it does

      is a total shithole.

      We usually stay at the Omni Resort Championsgate when I stay overnight in Orlando — very far from a shithhole. The boys like the lazy river and waterslides.

    I think it’s finally over! The COB stepped down and apologized for everything that he ever did! And it was all due to the very thoughtful Christmas Eve gift given to him by the most dedicated Scientologist that he ever met….Tom Cruise. Mr. Cruise gave him the most sought after item by any little boy. An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! Unfortunately, early this morning, the news reported that he had “shot his eye out”. |>.0|

    Merry Christmas Mike and to the rest of the SOS Group (Survivors of Scientology).

    Nice piece of Promo, for the Mighty Miami which claims it has promoted over 70 people to all sectors of the Sea Org (International management, Office of Special Affairs International, Flag, Bridge, IAS, CLO EUS, etc.)

    Yet, surely this is in dis-accord with what David Miscavige’s attorney Wallace Jefferson declared in 2014 in Rathbun v. Miscavige et. al.:

    ” Plaintiff asserts that Mr. Miscavige exercised control because he leads the Sea Organization, a religious order within Scientology. But the “Sea Org” is not a corporate entity; it has no physical or legal existence. It is not incorporated or established pursuant to legal formalities. It has no constitution, charter or bylaws, and no formal or informal ecclesiastical, corporate, or other management structure. It has no directors, officers, managing agents, or other executives; no employees, staff members, or volunteers; no income; no disbursements, no bank accounts or other assets; no liabilities; no stationery; no office, home, address, or telephone number. It does not create or maintain any financial, personnel, or other records. It can neither give nor receive orders because it has no one to either give or receive them or to carry them out. It cannot sue or be sued. ”

    Is there perjury or fraud involved in and of the above statements? The billion dollar answer is,….YES, and I hope the courts recognized it and indict and convict for both.

    My very best wishes for the Holiday Season Mike and family and to all here. And of course to david miscavige and his conniving elves, his gift is graciously posted above in this post with sincere wishes it comes true in a competent court.

    Hubbard sprayed is confusion over the “state of clear” and it worked! Look how we chased that carrot and put up with the nonsense allowing him to call it a “science”.

    You have your Mest Clear, Past Life Clear, Dianetic Clear, Scientology Clear ad naseum…

    This is a great blog and I think just about everybody knows it. Mike, you keep us informed of the latest CoS shenanigans from an insider’s point of view and you do it with the wit of a professional satirist. I know you’re on a bigger mission than to just play funny man. To varying degrees many of us share that mission too. You have given us a platform to do that. I have heard a few complaints that some of us ought to tone down our rhetoric in order to make this forum more inviting to UTR scientologists. My feeling is those who are teetering will see a free exchange of ideas, a concept consistent with the expressed ideals of communication per scientology itself. Anyway, here’s a hip hip hooray for you with a complimentary tip of the hat.

There was talk of the Sea Org symbol on the Jedi helmets but it never came to pass.

      the “wasband-OT8” had to come to my home to give me the balance of the $ i get for alimony. Once again the “payroll company was to blame.”
      He tried to drop it in my mailbox & drive off quickly. Old and worn out as I am, I got to him & gave him an earful as a nice holiday wish: I said: “i know that you & your mother cannot speak to me as I am declared.” I told him he should be brave & be aware of the lack of help that Scientology has to offer to the world. I told him that the Vol Ministers is a sham..& that J. Travolta’s child probably needed his anti-seizure drugs. That they were probably denigned him; so the child died. The “wasband” said: You were never declared.” I said “I have the letter” You gave it to me, or had it mailed to me..he is just a manipulative liar. The he anted to go; so he said: “I will call you this afternoon.” It is 10:30pm; NO CALL. WHAT A SURPRISE. coward tha he is

          That’s what it’s called sometimes. The traditional lunch is often seafood, tiger prawns are brilliant this time of year. We had tigers, lobster, roast rack of lamb, fresh vegies and sticky date pudding with caramel sauce & vanilla ice cream. Lot of fresh cherries, pecans, heaps of wine, champers etc. and I wonder not why I feel a bit woozy right now.
          It’s damn hot and a day at the beach is often an option. Box Day is always hosts an international cricket test match. This year it’s the West Indies and it’s always played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It’s summer down under and we revel in it. Bushfires are a hassle but it’s part of life.
          Hope it’s all good up your way.

              Plenty of room, especially for another surfer. You know… I think Sydney has 21 surfing beaches but anywhere can be good on the eastern seaboard up to Gladstone Queensland, north after that the Barrier reef takes the swells and mashes ’em. The tropical north is it’s own head trip, heat, sun, rain and fruit of unimaginable variety.
              I live on the wilderness coast on the southern part of the country. Long way from anywhere and not many services but it’s cool. Fishing is great, water is pristine, oysters everywhere and yummy too.
              Christmas cheers to you too Dude.

    “A comedy reading of ‘An Ideal Christmas Carol’? What’s so funny about being locked in a room and not being able to leave until your wallet and bank account are empty? At least the big New Years event in LA is actually on 12/31, and at a nice hotel too. Thank you Bob Duggan for setting that up. Or did Travolta and Cruise kick in too. Neither of them has been very public in any ‘dissemination’ lately.

    All this OT 9 and 10 stuff looks like it actually going to happen. Or will it? I think that 9 and 10 will be the newest flail used to get everyone back into the mOrgs and redo everything they ever did. I expect the dwarfenführer to announce that 9 and 10 will only be available once some ridiculous stat is met. I wonder how the ‘faithful’ will enjoy the new cat-o-nine tails?

          That’s an interesting one. I don’t believe Miscavige has actually PERSONALLY come right out and said OT IX and X will be released this year – isn’t it all carefully crafted rumour and nudge-nudge wink-wink till now? Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. If he does, it will be blatantly in the face of his own arbitrary targets not having been met. If he doesn’t the increasingly restless VIIs and VIIIs will continue quietly – or not so quietly – disappearing. And it’s such an open secret that there is NO IX and X anyway, that the ridicule will be heaped upon him will reach new epic proportions. Straight up and vertical. In fact the column inches of ridicule would reach to Venus and back, and… etc.

    You know, I’m a big advocate for gratitude. Having traveled to to 2nd and 3rd world countries, it gave me a very different perspective. Gratitude is a game changer. “Nothing new can come into your life until you’re GRATEFUL for what you already have.” Bernard Beckwith. And, especially traveling to Africa. These folks have very little, yet, they’re some of the happiest people I’ve ever meet.

    So, first and foremost, I’m very, very grateful to Mike for hosting this blog. Everyday, it’s something new and entertaining! I can’t imagine your blog not existing, Mike. You’ve done a spectacular job with it! Wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas & New Years’! May 2016 be your best year yet!

    Now, on to you posters. I have never encountered such an amazing group of people as you guys are. Your posts not only entertain me, they also teach me. You guys are just so wonderful to communicate with. It makes my day, every day. Thank you so very much for being here. I’m grateful to all of you!

    Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas and New Years! May 2016 be your best year yet! And…may the BEST day of your past be the WORSE day of your future…

      Hannah Mets was married at 19 a few years ago. Mets is her maiden name. Unless she just prefers to not use her married name, I’m assuming she got divorced before joining the SO, and also, I’m guessing, in order to be able to join the SO. Well, she’s on her way. Give her another 30 years in the Sea Org and, whenever her “dynamics” need to be “re-aligned” she’ll have plenty of assistance, and should be able to cake-walk thru another 4 marriages and divorces, with possibly an abortion or two as well. Very well done!

        Yes, with her first divorce from her “forever beloved” at 22, after only 3 years of marriage, and with the always friendly guiding hands of her SO seniors, she should have no trouble racking up another 4 or 5 “soul mates” by the time she’s 50.

        All those poor young people being put through the SO Grinder. Chewed up and spit out in the end. If DM had an ounce of common sense he would take a handful of the top SO people and treat them well. Which means no violence, RPF, abortions, or other nasties. Let them flourish. And then present them to the world as the best of Scientology. He could actually have some great ambassadors to the religion. People who have not been abused who could go out into the world (and be able to keep a straight face) and tell the world about it. But alas, it’s not meant to be. He has all but ruined everything and sooner or later there will only be TWO members left at the end. It will be interesting to see how DM and TC attempt to continue the religion. Or divvy up all the money and go their separate ways.

          If David Miscavige had an ounce of common sense, he would treat the Sea Org workers decently, pay them a decent wage, ensure that they had adequate medical care when necessary, hat them, train them, and allow them to have children, giving his workers and execs alike adequate family time and with facilities for good loving care for the babies and children. If he had a grain of common sense he would realize that a group who kills their own second dynamic is doomed.

            Show me a group who sacrificed their children – the ancient Hawaiians, the pre-Colombian Indians, just off the top of my head, and no matter what their talents, their abilities, their sensibilities – they came to a bad end.

            When I did LOC I realized that the Sea Org had a HUGE block on their second dynamic. Its a huge arbitrary and a fatal one. A group cannot forbid its members to have children and still have the faintest chance of survival. The Catholic Church knows this VERY well. Their nuns and priests are strictly forbidden to marry but their parishioners are nothing but encouraged to have kids, kids and more kids. The more kids, the more Catholics. Simple logic. But then, the Church of Rome has survived for 2000 years in no small part due to this firm policy of (I’ll call it) “Make Children, Make More Children, And Have These Children Make Children, and so on, and so on”.

                Right! Herod was a Roman official posted over Judea, and those babies were not strictly Roman but Judea was a Roman TERRITORY so they were POTENTIAL Romans if only just slaves for Rome. Herod definitely contributed to the fall of ancient Rome.

                David Miscavige takes it to the max and per his own written policy forbids Sea Org couples to become pregnant, and if they do, encourages the killing of his own Sea Org members in the womb With this policy he speeded up the demise of the Sea Org considerably. He’s doomed himself and the Sea Org, and don’t think he doesn’t know this. He’s not stupid, but then he can’t help it because he’s a suppressive, a sociopath.

                Pick whatever name you like for someone who needs for everyone to be incapable or dead so that he can be safe.

                By forced abortions, he is getting rid of future child labor slaves, robots, and PMM’s (Potential Money Makers). Maybe he truly believes that Scientology is growing in membership and that they really can do without the kids. Which would truly make him psychotic if he actually believes what he is spewing!

          You know .. Piltdown Man .. doesn’t exist .. Native State refers to you as an all in all complete OT .. Axiom 1 .. also a complete nothingness but still you .. completely alone .. no communications .. no game .. no sense only looking how bad off others are .. wishing that others will come up to the same state as you have .. be a nothingness .. refers to axiom 11 a) where you can create or destroy everything .. for yourself and also for others ..

          As a young man I asked me .. what happens if everybody is an OT and is in his allegedly native state .. I found it would be complete boredom in all eternity .. not so nice to think about it ..

          But I found also, that you can do that every second .. it is not forbidden, only LRH said that your mind would do that .. but in hearing and reading LRH rules .. your mind is you yourself .. erasing a mind would be the same as erasing yourself .. be a nothingness is native state .. which is not a great target .. it is boredom forever ..

      Agoraphobia:
      Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where the sufferer perceives the environment to be dangerous, uncomfortable, or unsafe. These situations can include wide-open spaces, uncontrollable social situations, [others]. Agoraphobia is defined as a subset of panic disorder, involving the fear of incurring a panic attack in those environments. The sufferers may go to great lengths to avoid those situations, in severe cases becoming unable to leave their homes or safe havens. Agoraphobia can account for about 60% of phobias.

    That Staff Member is still smiling because he’s JUST JOINED and hasn’t had every possible fun moment removed from his schedule. Let’s see a photo of him in a few months!

    You’d think, with all of the GIVING that is done by actual real religious movements/Churches to their flocks that scientology would see the money-grubbing difference their marketing and promotion gives a regular person.

        OSD, they both flatter and love bomb these gullible kids to get them to sign the SO contract:

        “You want to be trained so that you can get some wog job and earn a salary, draw your pay and come home and watch TV? Anyone can do THAT. But YOU – this is WAY too small a game for YOU. Earning a good living, getting married, having a family – any idiot can do THAT well! YOU need a real challenge, a bigger game, a MUCH bigger game! YOU are Sea Org material, amongst millions who are not. YOU are someone whose life could make a REAL difference in reversing the dwindling spiral of this society and this planet.”

        The kids eat this up. In fairness, they’ve been raised in the Scientology bubble, and it has somehow been “communicated” to them from an early age that their “whole track purpose” is to be in the SO.

        One heavy koolaid drinker some years ago shared with me out of the blue that he “knew” that his then 2 year old son’s purpose in life was to be in the Sea Org. I asked this guy how he knew this about his 2 year old. He just shrugged and shook his head and said, “Its just a knowingness”.

        So, you see, some of these Bubble Children never had a chance to find out who they really are and what they really want to do with their lives. No chance. They are untrained in any profession and given their goals from the day they’re born, and as such, ripe fruit for the SO recruiters.

            I am glad to hear that, good for Bella. I think this shows also that there’s no question that there’s really no hope for ever hearing Tom Cruise question the church. He is gone in that regard. Guess if you’ve had money out your ears long enough, some identity damage really should be anticipated, but, why should he care, really? Bestowed with every gift imaginable, wouldn’t you accept? accept saying, yes, this is the church for me and i am absolutely in line with whatever the church wants me to say, i say hell yeah i’ll say it and goodbye to the rest of you. – because – Even if the church burned to the ground forever after tomorrow at noon, Tom thinks to himself, hey, i am still happy. Happy without your daughter is a willingness unsalvageable, we aint no rocket scientists, after all.

    Wasn’t Janadair last seen working in the ‘galley’ in PAC? You might want to send a Gung-ho Group out to PAC to recruit her back to Miami to be an Executive.

    OK, let me see if I understand this about the Central Files maintenance party in Tampa. Item #5 on the “To Do” list is “updating the charts (will need some knowledge of the bridge).”

    Does that mean that they are going back and putting together some sort of color-coded progress chart on everyone in Central Files, including people who bought a book in 1973 and never had anything to do with Scientology after that?

    If so, is there a “theological” reason, like they believe that in some future lifetime, they want to be able to let the new meat body for that thetan to resume progress up the bridge exactly where they left off, 35 million years previously? If so, does that mean that they are ultimately supposed to engrave all the records in Central Files on titanium plates and store them in vaults as well? Paper’s not going to hold up for 35 million years…

    Or is this just an “arbitrary” imposed by either one of Hubbard’s policies or some pulled-it-out-of-his-ass decision by Miscavige?

      JPC,

      Don’t even bother getting ahead of the decending curve of scientology. It will just lead you to the entrance of the rabbit hole. (you know. . . trying to clarify insane action is futile). In the Sea Org it would be North Korean style hard labor to maintain control. In Orgs and wogdom it is make-work to maintain control, keep interest and avoid idleness.

    Good old Russ McKevitt is coming to Flog to try and fleece a few more felons into the fraternity of greed.

    Yo Russ,
    If you are ever out this way again, stop by and we can pick up where we left off after you and Rick Kimura decided to show me the Dead Agent Pack on Mike and Marty so as to handle ‘my out ethics situation’. That is if you have drilled up properly to confront and handle suppression and get ethics really in on this planet. It doesn’t seem like a big problem, after all, I’m such a small little thetan you guys should be able to git-er-done in short order.

    Hey, now that we are on the subject of short orders, say hi to See Oh Bee for me when you report how it went handling me.

    Get out of there Russ. It will not end well for you and your wife. Run ……. when you get off the plane in Tampa, get in a taxi and go man…………….. you can stay with Rod and Lori.

    The more clams that show up, the fewer extras the criminal cult of $cientology has to hire to have an audience. Would be great if no one (except staff and Sea Org slaves) shows up. Then they resort to CGI and Photoshop to show an audience.

        “actors needed to play scientologists”,
        really, what this gig was ever all about from the beginning…

        If Christmas is about gratitude and giving, well, i have a couple of things i’d like to say:
        Thank you Mike.
        Inside a moment all alone things can get a little creepy thinking about things – all the truth that was hidden from me. They even kept mom an dad from seeing me…

        On this Christmas day, well, isn’t it wonderful that all those memories become something to be rather proud to remember because we got through it, we put it down because it was wrong and we made all those nasty secrets known. It is ok to say I DONT THINK SO to a scientologist, in fact it is a sort of duty for those of us who used to be inside, who used to be fooled into giving ourselves away. Our chance for peace is in knowing that our kids won’t be fooled again. Things are so wonderfully different now… now that we are free to speak.
        But the real joy is in knowing that we are not alone in each other. We are really together with each other. The thing between us is a thing that a newcomer can walk up to and in an instant easily recognize and it is good and all this goodness will surely endure. The world is a better place and we are better people, after all.

    Really? You really can do that? I think you should tell us in advance what you plan to effect in the world….effect it by your intention….so we can then check out the affect you actually had. People would flock to super power if you did that….man what fsm commissions you could make, what good you could do for mankind. Can your intention pick up what I’m thinking right now? I doubt it so I’ll just say it…..MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of the wild and crazy posters in Mike Rinder’s blog. Have fun watching the kids open presents, enjoy the presents you get, eat till you can’t, wait a while and then eat some more, guzzle some booze and most of all let’s keep hitting Miscavige till he fades away and all lost family will be back together for Christmas 2016.

    Mike, thanks for the weekly coverage of what appears to be the most tasteless multi-level marketing scam in the world. With all the money they rake in its seems they could afford real marketing and promotion pros. But the standard is set by the brilliant, stellar genius David LHD Miscaviage. The image is overseen by a two bit, uneducated shyster so I guess I should not expect more.

This is Scientology...

If your spouse is resistant to Scientology or doesn't want you to donate more money, Scientology officials will tell you that you’re PTS (potential trouble source) and that you need to disconnect from them.

There are many, many examples of this.
