My apologies — had a very busy week and was flying all day on Thursday to get home. I just couldn’t manage these in time.
Remember — this was the biggest event ever!
Seems they rounded up 15 or so people and got a few dressed in Star Wars costumes to fantasize about saving the universe with light sabers.
Then they asked them to give real money to save the universe.
Fiction writing magic
And of course, fiction writing has NOTHING to do with scientology…
At least that’s what they tell the contestants.
The best they’ve got
Not much happening in the “ideal” org in Atlanta.
A. Single. Purif. Completion.
That’s worth putting out a promo piece….
Free PR advice
Mirit is famous for her excellent PR videos from hurricane sites — remember the PR masterpiece from Carolina “there is no damage here, we don’t see anything except empty streets” when she was not within 100 miles of landfall?
No wonder it’s free.
The Top!
Brad and Alice Spence, filers extraordinaire…
Sure sounds like quite a pinnacle of achievement.
Here’s some good marriage advice
Get married after dating 3 weeks…
This is what they promote?
They made a Clear!
Yes, one.
They are really making “100% Clear New Zealand” now…
Mixed messages
These guys need Mirit.
Nelson Mandela Day is a comedy thing now?
The first one was a huge success
If things are so great in Detroit, how come there are still Sea Org members there manning the org?
Just some fun….
Playlist for any scientology fundraiser should definitely include:
Help!
Can’t Buy Me Love
Magical Mystery Tour… the comments section is open for additional thoughts
For scientologists only!
It’s an IAS Reg event, how would that go over with “raw meat”??
John Ghan…
He’s been inspiring people for decades?
If he’s such a genius and his postulates are so good, how come L. Ron Hubbard Way looks like a ghost town? Why aren’t there at least dozens of people doing their OT levels at AOLA?
We will take anyone from anywhere
It’s desperate times in Narconon. Might be their end of days.
This is impressive?
Or inspiring?
It looks like a white trash convention in a trailer park…
“Align yourself with real social reform groups…”
Just doing what Ron says.
You know Lydia is going to be working to take this over and convert it to a full “LRH tech” activity.
Well, it was the greatest thing in history…
But apparently came and went and nobody noticed or said anything more about it?
See local acknowledgements…
WTF does that mean?
It’s a state of the art backyard pizza oven!!!
If you ever needed proof we ARE clearing the planet — this is it!
OMG that COB is just the most amazingly huge bigly being. Not just a bbq. He bought us a cake! Isn’t that something?
All of this cost half of one of his custom shirts or the eyelets in his hand-made shoes.
At Stevens Creek, they’re “all in for an Ideal California”…all six of them. Fierce hombres. Fixed dedicated glares. None under 50. Oh, yes, this will definitely happen.
What is it with these loser Senior Citizens who need/want to dress up and delude themselves?
My Entry
Million Stylez : Where’s my wife?
You Know Who probably already has that one
I hope they enjoyed that ‘desert’ cake…was it made of sand?
FYI: I contacted the Beatlemanax FB page, and inquired. This was the result:
Me: Just received this promo. Are you all Scientologists? Just wondering. Either way is OK.
FB Beatlemainiax: We are not.
Me: OK. Have a good gig. Knock’em dead.
Please don’t give them a hard time. We musicians stick together. Work is work, no matter how you get it.
Pathetic. They look like they’re reaching too hard for ANYONE to come in to their Cult building. *look what we offer”, it’s like the drug dealers who try to lure you in , get you hooked, then Rob the life out of You.
That’s what Scamology comes across as.
How can they get away with this blatant trademark infringement?
I thought the people who owned the rights to Star Wars were very stringent when it comes to anyone using their trademarked characters and other properties to promote their own agendas.
I would especially expect they would get a whole lot of lawyers to send letters to the scam telling them to “cease & desist” using their trademarked property.
Beatles song? How about Back In the USSR?
Scientology’s bullshit galas, with lunatic clapping seals kissing COB’s ass, one is reminded of Soviet style gatherings under Stalin. Who will be the first to stop clapping? And definitely reporting on each other is a requirement in scientology. And let us not forget about disappearances, the Hole, and “erased” former members who are no longer in good standing.
Yes Back in the USSR is appropriate for the most Soviet style “church” on earth.
Kelvin is happy because after the purif, now he can do double shifts without dragging? It’s all about work. What about having the energy to swim, or run, or go to the playground with nieces and nephews? Or even stay up late reading or watching TV? There is no joy in scientology.
and if he’s “on post” that’s a STAFF comp.
There is a slim chance that he works for a local scio wog type business (like Sterling Management or some such BS) … but the money is on that he is just straight up contracted staff.
So this is either doubly pathetic, that they don’t have a paid public comp, or it’s weak bait to lure in new staff: “see! you get to do the purif when you’re staff!”
HEY! Atlanta Ideal Org got A! Single! PURIF! Completion! That PROVES SOMEONE was in the org doing something.
BTW, was that in the last WEEK? MONTH? … ALL THIS YEAR? I mean,
The Purif is such a LONG and INVOLVED step on the BRIDGE, RIGHT?
This shit is just PATHETIC. I always read through this Funnies column on a typical Thursday release and always feel sorry for the poor souls I see on display in these glitzy panels who are trapped inside this cult … traipsing about inside their *horrific* little delusional bubble and — all the while — being relentlessly and systematically sucked dry of their precious time, money, resources and, indeed, their very lives. They are like victims willingly turning their necks towards a vampire’s fangs and who say “drain me”. Sick! But at the same time I can’t look away….
It’s like a the proverbial car crash.. gotta love mikes sarcastic commentary lol
I used to feel sorry for these still in cult members. At some point I stopped feeling sorry for them.
Believe it or not, for a time I felt sorry for Elizabeth Taylor. So many illnesses, so many unhappy marriages. Well, as regards my compassion for her bad health, that didn’t change. But the relationships? She lost me after a while.
I’m going to draw an unlikely parallel between the Still In Scientologists and their delusions and the late Elizabeth Taylor and her delusions.
( And btw I admired ET too – very much, in fact. it just so happened that I saw her in person up close twice – she was just so breathtakingly beautiful that you simply had to stare.)
That said, she was not someone who embraced reality.
Child of Hollywood, first married at 18 to Nicky Hilton, young rich, a heavy drinker who beat her, they divorced. I get it.
Married again on the rebound to a much older man, Michael Wilding, a father figure. Didn’t last, they divorced. I get it.
Third husband Michael Todd, head over heels in love with him, married a short time, he dies in a plane crash. Now she’s widowed. Terrible for her. Tremendous loss.
Takes up with Eddie Fisher, good friend of her late husband. Convinces herself she’s in love with him when actually she’s just trying to hold onto her beloved dead husband by being with the man who was his close friend. Marries Eddie Fisher, busts up his marriage to Debbie Reynolds. Shocking behavior back in the day, but I know how crazy and destructive intense grief and sudden irrevocable loss can make a person, so I don’t judge, I understand. I don’t approve at all, but…I get it.
Meets Richard Burton on the set of Cleopatra. Falls violently in love with him. He’s married and has never been faithful. She sets her cap, he dumps his long suffering and betrayed wife and marries her. She now reigns supreme as Hollywood’s heartless selfish, dangerous vixen but I don’t see her that way. She never loved Eddie Fisher. That marriage was a huge mistake on her part because it was merely a reaction to grief. She didn’t have to MARRY him. She could have fooled around and then let him go back to his wife and kids. Huge mistake. But I forgive her. She was never in love, now she is. I get it.
A dozen or so years later she and Richard Burton get divorced. Oh, well, they’re both heavy drinkers, alcoholics, coming into the relationship with tons of baggage, each of them. Ok. I’m still with her. I get it.
Then they remarry. Well, OK. maybe they’ll make a go of it. They were still in love and wanted to try again. I get it.
Then they divorce again. What’s this? Elizabeth, you’re not a kid anymore! Come ON now, are you EVER going to grow up? EVER?
Its right around here that she loses me.
Husband #7, a US Senator.
Husband #8, someone she met in rehab.
You see, once a woman reaches her 50s I think it not unreasonable to expect her to have SOME understanding of what kind of man she wants and needs. How old does a woman have to be before she actually grows up?
Speaking of delusions which go on for decades:
The Still In senior citizen Scientologists are Elizabeth Taylors to me. that’s all,
Except unlike her desperate, erratic, pursuit of some ideal love relationship into her 60s , the Still Ins pursue, ridiculously into their senior years, their fantasies about achieving OT and their other delusions about the expansion of Scientology. and, like Elizabeth Taylor they have long passed the point of being understood. The older they get, the more absurd and out of touch with reality they are. How old do they have to be before THEY grow up?
Back to ET for a moment. If she had wanted to she could have had her pick of viable men. But her delusions were more important to her, apparently.
The Still Ins – I see them the same way. Their delusions are more important to them than any real happiness they could have – more important than than their families, their livelihoods, and their own ethics and integrity to themselves.
Someone once called me breathtakingly beautiful………..but he was……,well, you know. I think he was exaggerating.
Off topic but since it’s been discussed recently here’s my 2 cents about the Bee Tees. Maybe I have my own Basic Personality but in the course of life I’ve probably adopted many aspects of personality from parents, friends, teachers, coaches and so on as well as book and movie heroes and maybe even a few villains.*
Sorting them all out to get to Basic Me using an emeter and calling them all bee tees would be a challenge. No wonder it takes years.
* I’m not sure about the villains. I always rooted for Sherlock Holmes to get the best of Professor Moriarty.
Nobody ever called me breathtakingly beautiful. That was a joke. One time a woman said she thought I had a cute ass. Good enough.
Got it on everything, Richard.
Don’t EVER settle for “cute ass”. That’s NO WAY “good enough”
No one should pass an entire lifetime without being called beautiful.
I consider it my responsibility to remedy this, forthwith.
Prepare yourself.
Are you ready?
“You are beautiful, Richard. You take my breath away”.
There!
Handled!
Now you can say that a woman told you you were beautiful.
With perfect truth.
Of course this isn’t the WHOLE truth.
I’ve never met you.
I’ve never seen you.
However its true that I did tell you that.
So, its not “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
But we’re not in court, after all 🙂
Regardless, I now feel like Clark Gable! Thanks for the internet boost, Aqua.
“Comedy for a Cause” No listing at all for which “comedians” will be at the event. I’m also guessing that it’s free because they are a “charity organisation” and, as we all know, $camology would fall over itself to get any freebies.

El Con would have been ecstatic if opioids and fentanyl had been around when he was still kicking.
Stevens Creek photo: the look on the woman, third from the left, says it all, “What the fuck am I doing here? Please, someone just shoot me now!”
This is just another list of failures dressed up as SUCCESS!!!
Sue Hunt in the Auckland promo as completing SRD tried to frame Aaron Saxton for Assault outside of AOSH ANZO 10 years ago. Then the video emerged of what SHE did and the court case was a bust for the kult. As I said at the time, a sick Hunt.
NarCONon now has uniforms for “staff”? They have failed badly here to get new facilities approved literally down the road from me a few years back. The residents and the local Council took them on and won, despite the legal process being heavily weighted in favour of NarCONon. Kult lost because they introduced beagles into their argument and did various other stupid things – $cientologists practising $cientology in front of witnesses is always going to go against the kult.
Hi Scooter. Always good to hear from you!
beagles?
hahaha!
I have no clue what that means, but it’s funny as all get-out.
I might use this once in awhile as a parting phrase,
“Bye for now! Watch out for BEAGLES!”
In the same Promo Scoots, is , Eileen Honour, recently back from Flag as a OT 5, and now a steward of Crimanon NZ and she’s PTS.
Do you loose your OT powers in the OT levels ,

A pizza oven this week. A rice, and bean oven next week.
it was a gift for the one year anniversary of “being open”
not for actually PRODUCING ANYTHING
not for high stats, 3X clears, for opening 2 new missions to flow to their org, for local PR capers and successes.
Nope.
Just.. being open.
Good job on NOT CLOSING within the first year of being ideal!
you go baby!
To add to the others : Elenor Rigby
Elenor Rigby. “Picks up the rice at the church where the wedding has been”
Father McKenzie “Darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there”
Elenor is staff or public, Father McKenzie is sea org. Both have hung on for a long time.
David Miscavige doles out the rice as pauses to spit on the beans, oh so obscene
Look at him wanking, playing the jock as he stalks through The Hole being mean, no one redeemed
All the lonely Sea Org, deceived by dear old Ron
All the lonely Sea Org, get back where you belong
Correction: “he pauses…”
Why did they have to pick up thr rice? Darning socks in the night would scare the shit out of me.
So how may ‘successful’ marriages does scientology actually have? LRH was on number 3 when he died, so he obviously had no success. Cruise has 3 divorces under his belt. Miscavage ‘disappeared’ his wife. Who would be stupid enough to take advice on a successful marriage from this group????
Ive apparently done something to draw in a cold (couldn’t have been that my son had one last week- right?)
Kat
Kat offered up:
“Ive apparently done something to draw in a cold (couldn’t have been that my son had one last week- right?)”
Well, you evidently DID have a child…. Isn’t that punishment enough?
Of course, in the twisted bubble, you might be PTS to something…. COULD IT BE … Thetan?
I want to wait until the the 4th round comes around. That should be great!
Disagree with scientology ” MEST “: Money grubbing, Ennui, Slavery, Travail…and leave the cult today!
Good lord, it ain’t scientology if it isn’t cheesey, tacky, clueless, tasteless, illiterate,false, nauseating, and draped in shitty super hero costumes! Oh yeah…don’t forget the statuses, trophies, and Orwellian
” success stories “, key components of one’s scientological spiritual journey…
And they keep pumping this shit out, like some kind of super-duper, whole track anus…
The perfect couple Grant and Siouxie Boshoff. Wasn’t he in prison for fraud, she kicked off staff, and both accused of libel/defamation for unkind/untrue things they said on Facebook about other Scientologists? Now that’s true love.
This is utterly petty and unimportant, but I find it annoying when girls named “Susan” morph their nicknames into the faux Native American “Sioux” and “Siouxie”. Its such an obvious attempt to be cute and soooooo ’70s.
If you have never been to The Stevens Creek Org you have not missed anything. It’s in an industrial park area away from any foot traffic. It looks like a Kafkaesque citadel.
Unfriendly, cold and isolated. I think Scientology is an anomaly in the Bay Area.
That grim description sounds like it might also fit the Ventura property that they are trying to help get the Santa Barbara org moved in to – except that the brutalist black glass Ventura facility looks even more like it might be Darth Vader’s fortress headquarters.
In the US the buildings they choose are pretty dismal. Wonder why that is?
They’re now buying the cheapest available aging commercial office buildings to put the remaining small and failing orgs in to, that no one else wants because they’re so dated and unattractive. The properties will also be worth very little whenever they’re sold off, possibly even just the value of the land under the presumption that the building will have to be wrecked, and the value of the inordinately expensive and unusual renovations will likely be lost. It’s a rather sad mess given that people donating are sacrificing more than they are able to, not uncommonly even losing their own homes, in order to fund the madness.
Even in the cases of the nicer and historic properties that they used to buy, and are still working on some examples of, those are often still hard to sell because they’re unusual – they’ve been trying for years, for instance, to unload the Hotel Alexandra in Boston that they bought and then changed their (or Miscavige’s) mind about. Plus most prospective buyers will still not assign much value to the renovations that have configured the buildings in ways not suitable for most uses, much of which might have to be ripped out and re-done to suit any subsequent owner.
It is just the most amazing real estate scam.
A legal church operates out of a near empty building. Convincing its parishioners that the reason there are so few parishioners is because their current building is inadequate, this church buys another building with no mortgage, paying all cash, all free money, no strings, via donations from the parishioners. Once bought, with the deed in its own name, this church renovates and furnishes its new building with more free donations from its parishioners. Then the church puts its old building up for sale, sells it, and keeps all of the money from the sale.
Amazing.
David Miscavige, it is very likely you read this blog. Very likely, or perhaps someone in OSA feeds you the salient points on a daily basis. On these assumptions I’m going to give you a compliment.
You are a clever crook.
You’re clever, yes, but not because you have any extraordinary mental gifts, per se.
This scam is very easily perceived as such by anyone with normal perception paying even HALFWAY attention. As scams go, the Ideal Morgue Scam pretty lame.
Your cleverness lies in your choice of victims.
The genius in the Ideal Org scam is your genius in choosing the right people to perpetrate this lame scam on.
Your genius lies in IMMEDIATELY cutting ANYONE loose who dares to even so much question the workability of this scam of yours.
And if getting rid of each and every Scientologist this way shrinks your numbers even faster, then at least the ones who remain are just that much blinder and stupider than the ones who just asked questions and disagreed and got booted out.
Inevitably, of course, your numbers will dwindle down to almost nothing, and these few will then have no choice but to leave. These few that will be left will be SO dumb that ANY crap you tell them will be believed.
But until that fateful day, you might as well keep getting free money from these imbeciles, right?
Therein lies your genius, sir.
I hope this makes your day.
It’s a fundraising scam more than a real estate scam, now maybe even devolving into a Potemkin Village propaganda scam.
I don’t think that most of the orgs, particularly the small and failing ones left to go “ideal,” owned their own buildings – though a few, like Kansas City, did, and I think in their case may even have made money to support the org by leasing out parts of the property. Miscavige is now probably having to subsidize most of these projects to even get them finished and keep up the illusion of “expansion,” which I think may mark the beginning of Scientology having to start to spend down reserves in order to keep things running.
On a related note, it’s interesting that we’ve recently heard some rumblings from the upstart Independent Scientology Advanced Organization of the Great Plains (AOGP), which is in Kansas City. They are presumably former members of the KC CofS org, which is about to go “ideal,” possibly even disaffected by all the fundraising, and perhaps the general debacle of moving from a modest property that even provided them a source of income, to an impractically grandiose one.
BK mole gave us:
“I think Scientology is an anomaly in the Bay Area.”
I believe you could have most properly stated:”I think Scientology is an anomaly.”That it’s still more-or-less running along like a square ball bearing is a wonder; particularly given the super-qualified twerp controlling the slow-motion train wreck of an organization (or rather, DISorganization).

AND THEY’RE STILL INCOMPLETE IN CENTRAL FILES? How many years have they been ‘working’ on that mess?
A proffer of an appropriate song: Something to the tune of “Matthew’s silver hammer”(or whatever its name was.I was already more interested in other artists when “Hammer” came out. There’s gotta be a way to tie it into ‘Davey-boy’
Here”s what I don’t get about Central Files, updating of:
Bear with me as I’m not much of a tech person:
Why don’t they just scan all the files. Scan every scrap of paper, label the file. Then give it to someone else who shreds the paper.
Now, IF and/or WHEN the person in that file becomes “active”, THEN it could all be re-printed. But in the meantime, just keep it on the computer.
They could have a kind of assembly line: File Scanners, File Labelers (or maybe there’s software that automatically alphabetizes the material, or whatever ) and then File Shredders, then, CF callers or emailers.
I’m assuredly missing some steps – CF researchers might need to be before the Callers to obtain current phone numbers and addresses, etc., but you get the concept – a Central File Update Assembly Line. They’d get it done a lot faster!
If Hubbard were alive he’d streamline the process, for sure.
Miscavige has no problem altering the tech. This we KNOW. Why doesn’t he go on a Lost Tech hunt and find this better, faster way to update CF, you know, “the way Ron always wanted it”.
He’d get a great zInt event out of it. The sheeple would be in raptures, and I bet he’d get a lot more of them volunteering.
Edit: Int Event, not zint event 🙂
Very simple Aqua. El Con Hubtard policy states that the files are paper filed in a file cabinet. It would be out KSW to do otherwise and that is a suppressive act to violate KSW.
You’re 100% right on that, Wynski and I don’t disagree.
Here’s the “but”:
Miscavige has/had NO problem altering OTHER tech – plenty of other tech!
He redefined the FN! This is/was a huge alteration that changed a great deal, directly and tangentially about how preclears are audited as well as how students are trained as auditors. NOWHERE does LRH say that the needle has to swing 3 times to be an FN! DM changing the definition of an floating needle is a HUGE alteration of the tech, wouldn’t you agree?
And, respectfully, I get that you don’t think it ever worked anyway and that any changes are irrelevant anyway, but whether it works now or ever worked in the past is not what I’m addressing now.
My only point is that, for whatever reason(s), when and where it suits him, whether it be auditing, training, admin or ethics, DM has, demonstrably, NO problem changing the tech and then, afterwards, ordering a major campaign to convince the sheeple to go along with it as “Standard Tech” which is now being taught/done/etc “just as Ron always intended.”
So why not update CF with modern, workable, sensible, fast methods?
I could answer my own question by saying that, his PR to the contrary, very likely DM doesn’t WANT CF’s to be updated. That busy orgs, recovering people to Scientology, etc are not part of his ACTUAL plan. PR to the contrary, he doesn’t WANT orgs to be busy because busy orgs and planetary clearing etc. are not his real game. The game he’s REALLY playing is his own personal, exit strategy game. The Ideal Org Program is in fact a real estate scam so that when the end comes he and his lawyers can exit with as much money as possible.
That’s my own personal conspiracy theory, Wyn. I’d be interested in your opinion because you never pull any punches. There’s a lot to read so if/when you get a chance I’d enjoy hearing what you think.
Well, the “3 swing F/N” is based on the Hubbard statement that an FN is a “Rhythmic sweep of the needle across the dial” and the idea that in order to be rhythmic you cannot adjudge that unless it has been back and forth more than once…
Everything Miscavige does has as underlying basis from Hubbard. It is part of the perils of scientology — Hubbard was all over the map on his “standard tech” such that you can find contradictory statements for many things and it is all in which one is taken as gospel.
Thanks, Mike. Yes, I’ve heard that about the new definition of an FN being based on the definition of “rhythmic”. But I disagree. The VERB in that sentence is “sweep”. A sweep is an action in one direction. If its in 2 directions one would say “sweep back and forth”. But LRH doesn’t say its a rhythmic sweep back and forth. A rhythmic sweep of the needle on the dial would be (IS) a sweep that PROGRESSES AT THE SAME PACE. Its not jagged; it doesn’t stop and then go. For the duration of the sweep, there’s no slowing down, then speeding up, etc. And its not the LENGTH of the sweep that makes it a floating needle either. Of course if it hits the other side it will sweep back. But it doesn’t HAVE to hit the other side to be a bona fide FN!
But then for arguments sake lets say DM is right, that an FN MUST go back and forth. Let’s ignore the verb “sweep” and base the definition of an
FN solely on the adjective modifying that verb, i.e, “rhythmic”.
Ok, then – why 3?
Why not 4?
Or for that matter, 2?
2 is more than 1, after all.
Mike, no worries, I’m just venting. Its obvious that I think this new definition was pulled out of…you know.
Correction: “sweep” is not used as a verb in here. It is a noun. I was so annoyed while thinking about this stupid FN definition that I made this dumb grammar mistake. A sweep. A motion in one direction. Its a noun.
Aqua, I think that paper files provide a useful sort of make-work in Scientology, as strange as that may seem. And CF is actually marketing or prospecting files, not member records, that get used occasionally, in what may be one of the few desperate ways that Scientology has left to find anyone who might fall for their badly aging lure.
Plus, as Wynski points out, there’s no Hubbardian “scripture” to cover computerizing them – which would also have to involve creating some system for flagging and following up on them from time to time.
The huge effort that they’re apparently making to contact “recover” people who were involved in the past, and the stories of a few who do actually get dragged back in, both fascinate and shock me.
Thanks, Peacemaker. Yes, the make-work reason makes sense to me.
I can see the cult wanting to use these mountains of paper as an appeal to keep the sheeple bonded and united in the ongoing, doomed, Ideal Morg scam.
I can also see the mountains of paper as a great excuse to keep them IN the orgs, physically. The orgs need bodies – bodies inside, doing SOMETHING, for crying out loud. They’re not getting cleared, they’re not becoming auditors, they’re not doing Basic Courses – ok, well get them in here on a Help Flow. Let them FILE. Give them SOMETHING to do. Makework. Yeah.+
And yes, out of hundreds of people contacted a few, inevitably will be drawn back in. Its a shame. But then, after having bee n out, for how long will those who’ve been sucked in again stay this time? I would think not very long.

“No Reply” – a good Beatles tune representing the community they’re in after a new Idle Morgue opens up.
“I’m A Loser” – for having swallowed the $cientology LRH codswallop in the first place.
“Carry That Weight” – an ode to L. Ron Blubbard’s tremendous girth.
“Don’t Bother Me” – the comment the public makes to desperate $cientologists on the street giving out “free” personality tests.
“Eight Days A Week” – a typical Sea Org slave’s working schedule. “I’m So Tired” also a familiar refrain.
“Nowhere Man” – David Miscavige post ABC News Ted Koppel interview excepting Idle Morgue openings.
“Sea of Monsters” – the Cult of $cientology
“She’s Leaving Home” – you won’t see her ever again as she’s just joined the Sea Org and you’ve been disconnected.
“The End” – where $cientology is soon headed.

Very creative Catherine. I have to admit to you that I’m jealous of your talent.
I often try to make funny posts and regularly fall flat on my face.
I must admit it’s nice to see someone here who has the talent to make posts that are really funny and don’t appear to have taken a huge effort to create.
Well done, Catherine.

It sounds like we got addressed DOWN. Meh! We probably deserved it.
The Stevens Creek group is a classic. They sure are a group I’d like to party with. To see these people and particularly the kids makes me sad.
The Stevens Creek gang would be rejected by most trailer parks. SCARY-LOOKING crowd.
Hellter skellter whould be the best
Beatles song to rep Scn.
Also a good one from the “WHO”,
WHO ARE YOU.
BTs and clusters and service facsimiles
Reges and pledges and debts to infinity
Big OT packages, tied up with strings
These are a few of my least fav’rite things
When the Ron barks, when the Dave bites
When I’m feeling low
I simply remember my least fav’rite things
And get off my ass and blow!
Fucking Great
ROTFLMFAO! OUTSTANDING post, Rich! You gave me my laugh for the day and I thank you! I’m still chuckling. Whew! Now that’s some funny shit.
I’d like to thank my registrar, my auditor, my C/S, LRH and especially COB for making my leave of absence permanent!
Brilliant!
How many NOI Freedom Medal Winners are there? I thought the Freedom Medal was something that you got after a long time. But it seems that every NOI has that added to their name. And still nothing about NOIs anti-Semitism.
Dawn, if you look real close, you’ll see me handing them out. I had nothing better to do today.
Mohammad Khalil Ullah is not a member of the Nation of Islam. He is from India. He received the IAS Freedom Medal for his work in Calcutta.
Thanks, IS, I was wondering about him. What a relief. With a feeling of dread I had been on the verge of Googling him.
I wonder who’s hands those are in Mirit’s flyer? No way she’d chance breaking a fingernail on a keyboard like that.
Wot! No May 9th happenings? I guess promoting a pro-pedophilia, anti-homosexual book is not longer good for business…
That Stevens Creek photo was taken right before daily product conference.
*they only wear their uniforms when there’s a public on service … Saves in the laundry bill.
I’ve seen them walking around in their underwear.
I had to laugh at the photos of the billions of folders in the Central Files for the org. There are TONS of folders yet only a handful of people in Scientology. Are all those people who won’t answer the phone or come back to Scientology SP’s? No – I think the people left in Scientology who decide not to look are the SP’s and the few newbies who wonder in “curious about it” are poor victims, ignorant that the CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY is not safe and we all know with total insouciant certainty that they will be fleeced, maimed, financially ruined and possibly killed. Scientology – circling the drain for many years.
Stick a fork in it. Scientology is done.
And yet some of the stories of people they manage to “recover” are astounding, showing that if they are desperate enough to devote large amounts of virtually free labor to combing through vast files of old members, they can find a few people who are still susceptible marks. One might think that is so incredibly inefficient that they would actually do better putting similar amount of effort into trying to attract a few new people, but maybe it’s a sign that their “raw meat” recruiting prospects are now so hopeless, that old records like central files are actually a marginally more productive resource.

IKR? And they’re still writing to me after I left scn in the rear-views 40 years ago. If they had ANYTHING on the ball, I’d have gotten my goldenrod years ago. It’s not as if declaring me is going to lose them any income…. It’s been just shy of 39 years since I gave them anything but the bird.
Peacemaker,
You shouldn’t be surprised at this.
Outflow does equal inflow.
That this is Hubbard’s terminology for an ancient principle does not negate its efficacy.
It works.
Call it whatever you like. Call it Outflow = Inflow. Call it Ham on Rye. Doesn’t matter what name you give this concept.
Get the word out enough, and people will pay attention to what you’re saying.
Get the word out enough about a product and people will reach for what you’re selling.
All advertising, all sales, are based on this principle.
Nature propagates this way.
People propagate this way.
Not to get esoteric on you, but the Beatles sang:
“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.”
In other words, to receive love you must give love.
Ghandi said, “BE the change you want to see in the world”.
Which is just another way of saying that Outflow = Inflow.
All right, that’s enough, I ‘m even making myself sick.
CF projects can be a mind-f*ck for those working on it.
Thousands of thousands of files, and the vast majority of them are useless –
someone conned into buying a DMSMH, never did a thing, never responded, dozens of carbon copies of letters sent with no answer back.
thousands of “moved” Address Unknown
tons and tons of nasty notes back, returned envelopes with angry words scrawled across them, demanding to be removed from the mailing list..
…
“wow, why is our org so empty? if we had allll these people on lines, just THINK of how big our org would be? why don’t these guys come in? How can so many people have reached and then not continued?
why is there such a big backlog?
how come the org staff hasn’t handled this all along? How can there be SO MUCH just PILED everywhere? Why hasn’t someone been posted here?
It screws with you, because the mountains of names and files makes it seem like people WANTED scn, but where are they?
why do soooooo many people, the VAST BULK of them, who encounter Scn, never go on to do it?
it skrews with you in tiny ways in the back of your mind. It like, it gives you both hope, because of the quantity of names, but also makes it all seem hopeless because even with 25 thousand names, you know that there are 3 people in the academy and two PCs in the HGC.
………
(I worked with all of this for a long time. I have no idea how they squirrel it all now, but back when we “did it as per LRH”, a name was added to CF and a file was made only if the person purchased something. They had to have bought a book at least. If they just came in for a personality test or sent in a “request for information” they did not go into CF. (there were other procedures for those)
We’d do all kinds of things to ‘get books into the hands of the public” – so you could go out on the street and sell some half drunk guy a 2.00 faded paperback DMSMH (the ones that had been in the front window and were faded) (discount! easier to sell!) … get the guy’s name & address, and notch up another NNCF. New Name to Central Files.)
We ran with 10-30 NNCF in average weeks. Those were “the good days”
no clue what ratty-nuts things they do and count currently.
Now, would these gatherings be classified as Hootenannies for Shindigs?
Damn, Peggy L, you’ve got me over a barrel. But, keep doing it! It feels great!
LOL. Let me work on that. I’m confused too:)
‘Surfer Dude’, I have always looked forward to your humorous replies. While recapping the “intriguing” uses of the Freewinds, I always thought that we Aussies were the only people who exported live sheep to other countries. The only difference is, apparently, our sheep don’t return home.
