It's Saturday, it must be time to hear from Terra Cognita again... The Bestest, Most Monumentalest Event Ever Ever The longer I stayed in Scientology, the more I hated going to events. When I first got into Scientology at my local org, events meant everyone getting off course to listen to a Scientology celebrity talk about a piece of LRH tech. And we students weren’t even expected to make up the time! The speakers were spontaneous, funny, and full of “ARC.” They encouraged feedback from the audience and everyone had a great time. Nothing was scripted. The events weren’t filmed. There wa … [Read more...]

Saving the Galaxy Giving money to buy a building is the height of humanitarianism... Conspiracy Theories... It's not JUST the psychs. It's also the bankers. Politicians. Psychologists. Government. Media. Ex-members... and more. Should be exciting. Saving black families road show. Knowing who you can trust according to the NOI. Wow. Enough time This is being held in a "mission" that is in a printer's shop in an industrial area. Sure it's going to be a blowout! The elite If you are "doing it" how come your org STILL isnt St … [Read more...]
London Is Calling (for your money)
The disaster capitalists are at it again... They are helping the victims of terror by giving them (not the terrorists) copies of the WTH. I am sure they will find the precept about not murdering someone really helpful. Once again, the insanity of this is that THIS IS WHAT THE IAS CLAIMS IT IS FOR. You give us your money and we use it to help at every disaster all over the world. Yet, here they are, asking for money to get WTH booklets -- that they are charging .66p (85 cents US) for EACH! They COST them no more than 20 cents. Not only is this NOT a serious enough disaster for the … [Read more...]
The World’s Fastest Growing Religion ;)
Scientology has routinely claimed it is the "World's Fastest Growing Religion" - in fact, this video is shown in EVERY scientology org as an introduction to the subject (it is even listed on IMDB). Below is an interesting article forwarded to me by one of our Special Correspondents. It will come as no surprise that scientology doesn't rate a mention. It is not even included as an "Other" when that includes: African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, Native American religions, Australian aboriginal religions, Baha’i faith, Jainism, Shintoism, Sikhism, Taoism, T … [Read more...]
Line Snapping Fun
Another post from my friend and former shipmate, Gary Reisdorf. Agadir Line Snapping Fun I was just leaving the most forward room on the Apollo, the foc'sle, when I heard the commotion. The most forward cabin was the Deck Force’s storage room, called the Bosun’s Locker, where we stored all of the paint and ropes we used when working on the ship. Being a Deckhand, I started my day preparing paint, paintbrushes and rollers for a day’s painting and ended the day cleaning brushes and rollers, all in the Bosun’s Locker. Being the most forward part of the ship, it was away from seniors, office … [Read more...]
Treating the Mentally Ill: Scientology vs Psychiatry
Treating the Mentally Ill: Scientology vs Psychiatry I always had a hard time wrapping my mind around Scientology’s policy on dealing with the mentally ill. L. Ron Hubbard wrote that Scientology was for the able and that those not up to standards need not apply. He and his church didn’t have the time or energy to deal with the depressed, the neurotic, or the insane. Saving the planet before it exploded was hard, grueling work. Dealing with crazy people was a distraction. Not until sufficient numbers had gone “Clear” would Scientology handle these people. Psychiatry and Drugs … [Read more...]
An Ideal Org
I was in San Diego last weekend and swung by the new "ideal org." Here is what scientology displays on their website, presenting this as "California Dreaming Becomes Reality": Here is the non-dreaming reality: It was 6pm on Saturday -- Memorial Day weekend. Just two blocks away, there were literally thousands of people in the streets going to restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp District. They literally overflowed the sidewalks and spilled onto the traffic. This is not an org that lacks nearby body traffic. The entire ground floor is windows (used to be parking … [Read more...]

This is what "honors" looks like? Wonder how failure looks? Related to Lord Xenu? An extra from Clockwork Orange? Doesn't shout "happiness" to me.... What's with the teddy bears? Now they have them "listening" to lectures? Motley Crew They are proud of 3 Clears? What happened to 10X expansion? Caek Apparently they had a cake but nobody showed up for their demo? Internet Strategist She should be helping scientology solve their internet problem... The only thing they have … [Read more...]
