Thursday Funnies
Seven Years... ...and still not SH Size. Let alone producing more Clears in their zone than triplets born on the third Friday of each month. Not really a celebration at all. Just another ploy to reg and recruit. Graduation... ...every other week?? Not enough completions to make it worthwhile to do it each week? And they need to add another floor to their building? Is this a Joke? Who is going to pay $25 to hear Joke talking about ethics and discipline? Wonder what makes Joke an expert? Record Breaking? The largest trash relief organization on … [Read more...]
Busting Open The Gates to the Bridge
Remember the hype about how the bridge would be flooded with people thanks to reaching the billions with the new KCET studio? That scientology was going to have its own, uncorrupted line to the world? And that this was all going to be happening by the summer solstice on 21 June? Well? What happened? It's a month later? Still nothing to show for it. There was even word that there was going to be a "scientology TV channel"? This white elephant cost tens of millions of dollars and is a duplicate of the tens of millions of dollars invested in the same studios at Golden Era. Now … [Read more...]
Super Powering
More interesting factoids from the mouths of babes. Today we are blessed with the magnificent news on Super Power. The Super Power building opened, and delivery of Super Power began in Nov 2013. Nearly 4 years to rack up some significant accomplishments. Remember the HEAVY demand that all scientologists had to do Super Power -- the number who have actually completed in this time is a pretty good measure of how many truly dedicated paying scientologists there are on earth. 4,000 total. They have scraped up 1,000 per year or 20 per week in the last 4 years. Recall too, this building … [Read more...]
It’s a Dog Eat Dog World
This is a recent email to one of our long-term commenters. He also provided his response for your entertainment. What is most interesting about this is the desperation it indicates. This message is from the Advanced Org in the UK. That is supposed to be the organization that serves the orgs in the UK and Ireland. They should be providing the public that AOSHUK survives on. And remember, they have one of the oldest "ideal" orgs that is "clearing London". Hey forget all the other orgs in the UK, why aren't all those Clears from London flooding AOSHUK? Obviously they are desperate to get … [Read more...]
Platitudes, Bad Attitudes and Mother Issues
Saturday is Terra Cognita day... Platitudes, Bad Attitudes and Mother Issues A while ago, Mike posted a letter from Pete Sokoloff imploring Santa Barbara and Ventura Scientologists to donate more toward their “ideal” org. Pete included the following quote: “Anything for which the individual feels any misemotion—antagonism, anger, fear, grief, apathy—is something for which he has not accepted responsibility; and there is misemotion only when an individual refuses to accept responsibility in that sphere of action. He can control anything for which he has accepted the full responsibility. He is … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down Give 50 pounds to Plymouth and you get a teaspoon! Going to take a LOT of teaspoons to get an ideal org. Nothing like thinking small. Still trying after all these years... Sacramento was "ideal" in 2012 - how come they are still trying to get to St Hill Size? What happened to instant 10X expansion? Chanman hits AOLA How to be prosperous. L. Ron Hubbard is turning in his grave that a "WISE guy" is being promoted by an org. An SO Org no less. Teachers? Why? You are setting up a … [Read more...]
Battlefields: Scientologists vs. Critics; Can Decency Win?
Another article from Brian Lambert. While I am so busy working on Season 2 I appreciate those who forward me relevant, on topic articles to publish. It is a day I do not have to write something myself. (Thanks especially to Regraded Being and Terra Cognita who have been stallwarts in this regard). I try not to use too many of them in a row, but I feel it is better for continuity to have something every day if possible. Though there may be days in the upcoming weeks where it just isn't possible. Battlefields: Scientologists vs. Critics; Can Decency Win? "We are hypnotized by our surroundings … [Read more...]
Helping Billions
Our old buddy Colin Davie is at it again. This guy might well be one of the most unreal people on planet earth. He is also the perfect example of the money-grubber who is unembarrassed to say literally anything to try and get you to hand over your cash. In an environment when ridiculous hype showers down from the top, the world of scientology is a culture of lies - but even in that context this guy is breathtaking. He is like watching one of those "professional eaters" who stuffs 75 hot dogs down their throats in one minute. Mesmerizing, disgusting and weird all at once. Someone actually l … [Read more...]
