Wonder how Lori Hodgson, Cindy Plahuta, Mary Kahn, Sara Goldberg, Lois Reisdorf and so many others feel about how scientology "honors" mothers. Scientology presents itself as champions of the family. Masters of communication and relationships. They proclaim communication is the "universal solvent." Yet there are repeated examples of scientology tearing families apart. Forbidding communication. And destroying relationships and lives. The control mechanism of disconnection can no longer be brushed under the carpet as the church has tried to do for decades. Pretending it is an "individual … [Read more...]

David Miscavige: The Chosen One?
Is David Miscavige the Chosen One? Miscavige has certainly run a concerted campaign for years to convince everyone L. Ron Hubbard personally selected him to take over after his passing. The scientology.org official hagiography of Miscavige includes to this day this out of context quote about "real scientologists" that has been reinterpreted as if it means David Miscavige. “So forgive me for not managing the Church when it almost fell into hostile hands. It all came out all right. Why? Because real Scientologists made sure it did. My faith was justified.” That real Scientologist L. Ro … [Read more...]
Quotes from Source
Over the years, David Miscavige has gradually been positioning himself as not only the "anointed" one, but as the actual successor to L. Ron Hubbard in every way. He is not only the "Finder of Lost Tech" and the originator of "Command Intention" he is now mandatory to "acknowledge" in all "success stories." If you fail to recognize and thank "COB" it is treated as a bad indicator that you are disaffected or perhaps a plant. They sell the water and whatever else that "COB uses" at Flag like it is the American Dental Association seal of approval on your toothpaste. And now, the final … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies
Ribbon Cutting Fever... These days they will cut a ribbon for anything - a waterfall? Really? No brains required... Surely if you don't need to pay attention to "file CF" there is something a little more entertaining than this they could be showing. How about "The Master"? "Body Snatchers"? Yes, that’s right! You will be able to see Meg Ryan (and Tom Hanks and Kevin Kline) at Tampa Org CF this Sunday. We’re hosting a DOUBLE FEATURE MATINEE Watch two romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan while working on CF.

More OT IX & X Nonsense
This email, perhaps more clearly than anything I have seen demonstrates the insanity that pervades scientology's endless carrot dangling for "eternal spiritual freedom." When you have finally spent enough time and money to make your way through OT VIII "the first real OT level" -- you are now instructed that in order to continue to long-promised OT IX and X (which do not exist) you will have to start at the VERY bottom and repeat all that over again in order to be eligible to take the next step. The illogic of this is astonishing. The only reason to do the Student Hat, Purif and … [Read more...]
Tampa Ideal Hype
The latest promotional items from Tampa org - this is "ideal hype" because everything Tampa does is "ideal." They are on an all out over the ramparts effort to recruit staff - perhaps because they are losing so many. And then this 6 pager... This tells you everything you need to know. Even the Dir Reg cannot survive on staff pay alone -- she has to have a "Supportive husband who runs a successful, expanding business" (David Tapia runs an Allstate Insurance agency in downtown Clearwater...) This is the first pilot org. The first ideal org. The first ideal SH Size org … [Read more...]
Ruthless/SuMP
Been a few interesting days leading up to Miscavige's birthday bash. Though they apparently sent out decoy messages that the event was canceled (maybe it was and then changed to being back on again which would not be unusual) it seems this was the "gift of expansion" that Dave wanted for his birthday. So he went ahead and yanked his ribbon to commemorate the occasion. Apparently there were dozens of security people surrounding the place yesterday as the faithful awaited the arrival of the Grand Ribbon Yanker. The stage was built and the anticipation was high. I don't have confirmation of … [Read more...]
