Total Knowledge. Total Certainty. With that, who needs to pay for anything else? Final 150? 150 more staff? Seriously? Never been past that building and even seen a sign of life... There aren't even 150 in this photo? Epic Anniversary! The Command Team has set the standard for the model ideal org -- funny model, it's still the ONLY ONE after a year. Present Time with regard to specific things... Huh? They actually promote this? Sounds like the Mad Hatter talking. Spiritual … [Read more...]

Going Clear Paranoia
An article in THR today: As usual, Scientology is shooting itself in the foot. They send goons to screenings and have Freedom "reporters" doing clumsy, noisy investigations. Contacting Academy Members to try and influence them not to vote for Going Clear is such typical ham-fisted Miscavige "PR". He never ceases to amaze. HBO should send him a large fruit basket when Going Clear is nominated. And they should take out a full page as in the NY Times thanking him for his contribution if it wins Best Documentary. And if it does win, and I get a chance to say anything about i … [Read more...]
Epic Expansion News From AOLA
Hot off the press. A Special Correspondent sent me some shots of the new Advance Mag that arrived in his/her mailbox. It is an epic and monumental edition with news that of vital importance to every scientologist. They found a bird. If that isn't OT I don't know what is... Well, maybe this? They heard two car alarms! And talk about 64X expansion. They had 5 people complete OT III in the past 3 months (or maybe 6?)... What an epic and monumental demonstration of massive, straight up and vertical expansion that page is. In the IDEAL AOLA. Wow. … [Read more...]
Going Clear Is Everywhere
The hits just keep on coming. From the LA Times: This is the FilmRise webpage: And it is also available on Vimeo: And if you want to do it the old-school way, as of today, you can buy the DVD on Amazon for $16.99. So anyone who has not been able to see the film on HBO or in a local theater can now order it from Amazon or watch it as a streaming video. Miscavige's annus horribilis is just not getting any better. Next up: Louis Theroux's My Scientology Movie at the London Film Festival on October 14. Followed by Leah Remini's … [Read more...]
What Real Churches Do
A small point in the overall scheme of things, but something that struck home with me a few days ago. Jack is now attending pre-school. His school is part of a local Methodist church. They are located in the church facilities and are part of the church's programs. There was a parent-teacher-church meeting to begin the year that Christie and I attended. After talking with Jack's teachers we went into the church proper with all the other parents (there are a dozen different classrooms for children of different pre-school ages) and sat in the pews. The minister Opened the gathering with … [Read more...]
New OT IX & X Are Closer Than You Think
Remember when the prerequisite for OT IX and X was that you had to be a Class VI auditor and all specialist auditor training courses? And thus the OT VIII's were all being hammered to get on auditor training.... Could not do that these days, as there is no Briefing Course. Of course, like most of what happens in the church of scientology today -- this is a moving goalpost. The prereqs are whatever thing Miscavige is pushing as his latest fad. After Class VI the "prerequisites" became that they had to do the Basics to be allowed onto OT IX and X. And then the Congresses and ACCs were a … [Read more...]
Some Observations From Haydn James
This is a posting that was sent to me by Karen DeLacarriere written by Haydn James. She thought it was too good to be left as a posting in the Outer Banks Group on Facebook and asked me if I would like to post it here. Haydn has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years. He is one of the nicest and most intelligent people I know. He wrote a little introduction and then his post follows. He makes some interesting observations. As you know I am pro the tech. I sat down one day to do a dispassionate evaluation of Scientology the subject and its operation past … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Bringing Peace to the World And this is to be accomplished by... Fundraising for ideal orgs. Of course. 64X Expansion That's why 3 "ideal" orgs have ONE graduation in the atrium of AOLA (not even in "Leb Hall"?) AND they have to bring along guest speakers (regges) to try and attract anyone. Within Milliseconds Scientology Will Be Available To Billions Huh? Anyone on earth can read this blog... Scientology is available in milliseconds right now. You gave money for that? Oh shit If Portland is the best in the whole … [Read more...]
