Scientology Non-Disconnection Policy
Somewhat buried under the coverage of the demise of Gawker and its greatest hits including publishing the infamous 2004 Freedom Medal of Valor video of Mr. Cruise making an ass of himself,, comes this from the International Business Times (and apparently Us Magazine, though I haven't bothered to check that). It's a strange position to be in for scientology. They deny it's "not them" keeping Tom away from Suri. Yet, if they are to be taken at at their word, they are throwing Mr. Cruise (they don't want him referred to any other way -- just like Mr. Miscavige and NOT Captain M … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
It's a Blockbuster OTC Meeting Revel in the good news: Only $6.4 million to go. More Blockbuster News This Ideal Org had a single person complete a course. The Student Hat no less. That is cause for a massive celebration and a promotional piece. Why CF? "Because its files of people who have bought something." Makes total sense. Truth is, nobody has a good answer. Los Feliz Mission? How low can you go -- a Mission is holding a fundraising event for an org.... Mighty My Mammy LRH is still dead guys. Most of those … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
For the record. These have been accumulating for a while. The Special Correspondent who so diligently forwards these to me noted that it is interesting to look at these over time as you can see the false promises and pitches roll out and the things that are said in March that will happen in April go by without comment and then you start seeing new targets on the same thing in June. It is truly the donkey with the carrot on a stick -- the only difference being the donkey is being ridden by vampires that inexorably suck the blood out of it, til it falls to the wayside and they jump on a new … [Read more...]
SuMP: An Update on Progress
Why am I not surprised. The mystery has been solved: How come the greatest advance in planetary dissemination in history has been unnaturally quiet? Not a single ad has appeared. The airwaves have not been flooded with all the good news about scientology. In fact, it is deafening silence from the center of the universe as we know it. Remember how much hype there was about how this was the "uncorrupted communication line to the billions" and all sorts of other vast overstatements? This is the headline and first paras of the article on scientology.org.... But the explanation of SuMP's … [Read more...]
Integrity
Another installment in the ongoing series of essays by Terra Cognita. See earlier posts here: The Almighty Stat, The Reg, The Horrors of Wordclearing, Why Scientologists Don't FSM, Respect, The Survival Rundown - The Latest Scam, Communication in Scientology... Or Not, Am I Still A Thetan?, To Be Or Not To Be, An Evaluation of Scientology, Fear: That Which Drives Scientology and Justification and Rationalization. Integrity One of the most bandied about words in Scientology is “integrity.” LRH wrote, “What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. And when you lose that, you h … [Read more...]
Scientology Success?
Here is how they manufacture "success" stories in scientology... They actually send people a template on what to say! And believe me, it is a well-learned lesson in scientology that inflating your accomplishments NEVER gets you in trouble. In fact, it often results in much adulation. Understating your "accomplishments" however can be a fatal mistake. UPDATE: A Special Correspondent just sent me this which is appropriate to this post. How is it that everything is going SOOOO great and yet he is sending out emails soliciting "successes" -- why isn't this guy so busy … [Read more...]
The Merchants of Chaos
Who are the Merchants of Chaos? Scientology teaches that Suppressive Persons are Merchants of Chaos - relaying only "entheta" and generally upsetting people around them with bad news. Seems quite sensible you would not want to associate with this sort of person. And of course, L. Ron Hubbard declared the media are ALL Merchants of Chaos. A Special Correspondent sent this letter to me, pointing out just how much "bad news" the ED of St Louis is spreading around to one and all. This is of course an art mastered by the IAS through the likes of Michael Roberts and Jeff Pomerantz and the … [Read more...]
