Thursday Funnies
Pirates and Whales What a combination. How fitting. More pirate parties.... And more. Seems to be contagious. Do the Survival Rundown at ASHO Of course. Nobody wants to do auditor training any more... Or can. Wonder if they ever actually HOLD these conventions? Or is this just a survey to see if anyone bites? This is the best they've got? This guy has been in the SO for about 40 years and had never climbed beyond being in charge of "WISE" in EUS. This is the best they've got? Dave Petit and … [Read more...]
Scientology Disconnection
I originally posted this on my blog in 2013. I feel it is worth reiterating. I have updated it a bit. While Scientology spokespeople have routinely denied that “enforced disconnection exists”, anyone who is familiar with the church of scientology knows only too well about disconnection. Like so much else in the scientology empire, its an ugly truth to be hidden from the “wog” world through a game of carefully worded deception of the same order as Bill Clinton’s infamous “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” When you see a church spokespeople emphatically state “there is no po … [Read more...]
Buy Your Super Power NOW – in 1978
Here is a blast from the past. This appeared in The Auditor issue 155. Published in 1978. Sign up for your Super Power at ASHO! This is when L. Ron Hubbard announced that Super Power would be available at Saint Hills "within 6 weeks." Of course, Ron said it, so it must be true. And ASHO got the jump on making a few extra bucks and started selling it. Can you imagine if you paid ASHO in 1978 for Super Power and then had to wait for it to be delivered in 2013? If you were 40 when you paid for it, you more than likely died before it was delivered. This is typical of … [Read more...]
To Be Or Not To Be
Another in the series of posts from our special correspondent, now known as Terra Cognita. See earlier articles: An Evaluation of Scientology, Fear: That Which Drives Scientology and Justification and Rationalization. To Be or not to Be: Is Scientology Worth Saving? I recently helped my dad fill out a medical level-of-care form. Choices ranged from doing everything humanly possible to keep the patient alive, to “do not resuscitate.” Followers of Scientology face similar choices. Lots would like to keep the church alive. Many of you reading this have chosen to step away from the pat … [Read more...]
It Didn’t Take Long
It was clear to everyone this was coming. The SuMP launch is done. Funny, haven't seen any shows broadcast yet on the airwaves - not TV or radio or even anything on the internet?? You can be sure that if someone else "opened" a "broadcast center" it would begin broadcasting. Ideal orgs will continue, but there are too many areas where they already HAVE an empty ideal org or there is absolutely NOTHING happening even when they have a "new" building (Hello Philly? Detroit, New Haven, Chicago etc etc etc). The dead ideal org horse has been beaten to dust in all but a few cities. So what's … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
OMG -- It's Yuuuge Kevin and Barbara Wilson, executives extraordinaire are going to be the new ED and D/ED Valley. Wonder what is going to happen to their incredible WISE business. Anyone know the protocol for selling a Mark Super 7? Not really. Probably better off just throwing it in the trash as it is now worthless. Scheduling problems They seem to be constantly changing these events -- when nobody RSVP's that they will be attending, they just change the date. And apparently none of these EVER have anyone RSVP. It's … [Read more...]
Who Needs OT Levels?
According to this promotional piece, L11 handles everything. So why bother with OT levels? Or anything else for that matter? But then again, there are a lot of "success" stories about every scientology service (Student Hat, Purif, Objectives, Grades, Dianetics, PTS RD, Word Clearing and on and on ad nauseum) where the person proclaims it holds the answers to EVERYTHING and has made them TOTAL CAUSE on all dynamics or "no longer effect of the physical universe" or whatever. Of course, none of them are true. I saw something today proclaiming that OT VIII absolutely "cures" "amnesia on the … [Read more...]
