AS IT APPEARS SCIENTOLOGY DID NOT PUT UP THIS POSTER -- BUT IT IS BEING TROLLED BY IT (AS WAS I) I AM REPLACING THIS POST. BUT IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED.... This has to be one of the more remarkable things in the history of scientology "dissemination" efforts. And there have been plenty of really bizarre episodes. New York "ideal" org is trying to attract people to "The COS" (they do NOT use the word scientology) with Hamilton tickets for $20. Like anyone who is not on staff in scientology would ever know what "The COS" is... Scientology claims to have the answers to all of … [Read more...]

Well, that looks inviting... Bubbles Champagne I guess Africa is going to achieve their goals now. And all for R100 per person! Epic. This one is a bit more expensive Chippendales have come to Celebrity Centre finally? Bye, bye Santa Barbara For only $25 you get to see the empty Ventura/Oxnard building. Bet Santa Barbara is happy scientology is leaving. But it could be 10 or 15 years before their new building is ready based on other cities. WE DID IT! ...you could call it a victory, I guess. Don't want to tell you what it is, because … [Read more...]
Miscavige Broken Promises
The string of promises concerning "planetary clearing" and ideal orgs is a long one. But perhaps nowhere illustrates the miserable failure of this "planet clearing strategy" than South Africa. The "Kyalami Castle" referred to above is the empty building that was purchased in 2008 to be the home of the "new AO Africa." (Similar buildings were purchased in Canada and Mexico to "open" AO Canada and AO Mexico - they too remain abandoned shells). Eight years later, this building remains unused. Except to hold pep rallies (read fundraisers) every now and then. That this particular empty … [Read more...]
How To Handle “Negative News”
Here is an email circulating in the scientology bubble. From: Vern Jones Sent: Friday, March 03 Subject: Handling Entheta in the News I recently have been experimenting with handling the amount of entheta news displayed on the CNN home page I use. As most know, home pages usually carry an array of news stories in various categories. I suspect that they keep stats (numbers of hits or clicks) and then increase the selection to similar ones to those that receive the greatest number of hits or clicks. This is an online marketing method that I am convinced is also used for the … [Read more...]
Reefer Madness
Koko's gone kookoo over the "legalization of marijuana" in California and is on some sort of crusade to get her little corner (Glendale) to somehow secede from the rest of the state when it comes to the notorious loco weed. Don't they know what Ron wrote about marijuana in Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health? He railed against alcohol being legal, while marijuana is less physically harmful and "better in the action of keeping a neurotic producing." Why aren't these women going after legalized alcohol? Why are they so upset about marijuana? They don't believe Ron? Here is … [Read more...]
Scientology, Where You’re Always Worse Off than Everybody Else
Another in the continuing series of provocative essays from Terra Cognita Scientology, Where You’re Always Worse Off than Everybody Else Is it just me, or did other people feel slightly unworthy inside the bubble? On one hand, all Scientologists are taught they’re more able than anyone else. On the other, there were always members who were: Richer More successful More creative Friendlier—without being “theety-weedy” Who kept stats and applied the Conditions Who used a personal Admin Scale Who went exterior at will Who always gave the best wins at events Who didn’t drink wine (last ti … [Read more...]
Seattle Ideal Org Open 12 Hours A Week
Things are progressing pretty slowly on "the wholesale Clearing of our area" when they are only working at it 12 hours a week. As with many other "ideal" orgs -- they have been moved away from the city center. They are not the worst, they are in the fairly near suburbs. Some have ended up in industrial parks and alongside freeways where there is no body traffic. The volume of people walking past orgs has traditionally been a measure of their likelihood of success. "Body routing" line has always been one of the few methods of attracting new people into scientology. You see the staff from … [Read more...]

It's the Real Deal this time... Not going to cancel this one. Absolutely going to happen this time. Just $100 to take a tour of the "new building." Flag LOVES Tampa Because Tampa sends them MONEY. "Remote Reg GI" is money they collect for Flag. Nothing crass about this. H-E-L-P!!! As with EVERY "ideal" org, they can raise $25 million but they cannot get their damNed backlogged filing done! It's monumental Of course... Bubble is back from her enormously successful reg tour to S. Africa where she spoke to crowds of 10 or more people. It … [Read more...]
