This tells you all you need to know about the largest and most effective private relief force on earth Hurricane Maria did not devastate an outer islands of the Philippines or a remote area of Guatemala. This is a US Territory that houses a soon to be "ideal" Scientology org. I take nothing away from the fact they helped clear 7 houses around the org. Every little bit of help is appreciated by those who are suffering. But the emphasis is on LITTLE. Read their report below ad you will see they have rounded up 30 people! This is likely the full contingent of 10 staff and 20 public in t … [Read more...]

Scientology: Hollywood Reporter Writer Is Like Goebbels
Apparently, Seth Abramovitch of the Hollywood Reporter has caused some serious butthurt in the scientology world. A couple of recent articles seem to have put him on the Enemies List and scientology has responded in their typically understated fashion. On one of scientology's many Facebook smear pages, they repeatedly posted this: I guess the irony of this being posted on their own Facebook hate page "Leah Remini #AfterCash" never occurred to them? They keep repeating the big lie that Aftermath is about money... It must be obvious to even THEM by now that this docuseries does not … [Read more...]
The Scientology Committee of Evidence
It's Saturday. Yay for Terra Cognita! The Scientology Committee of Evidence The Committee of Evidence—Comm Ev for short—is one of the chief instruments the Church of Scientology uses to administer justice. Over the years, this court-martial-like hearing has changed from a method of gathering facts and evidence to something more sinister. Nine times out of time, the outcome is a foregone conclusion, played out for show rather than in the interest of fairness and justice. For many church members, there is little more frightening than being called before a Committee of Evidence. As every Sci … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
RB remains on hiatus, but I pulled out one of my early favorites. Back in the days when Going Clear was first released, RB introduced a memorable character, the Going Clear elephant in the room. Priceless. You could insert his twin, the Aftermath elephant and this strip could have been written today. … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The ChanMan Cometh Hold onto your wallets and valuables... Makes me wonder often -- don't these orgs have ANY Div 6 staff to do this? They rely entirely on full time FSM bloodsuckers? Hubbard would be rolling in his grave. Aha, found one Actual org staff out doing "seminars". Though I bet they have about as much clue as ChanMan on solving all these problems. Their "ideal" org in Florence Kentucky is empty. But shout out to them for at least trying to do something themselves. Unlike the "largest ideal org on earth." Things are thin at Flag They are … [Read more...]
WD 40?
This is pretty much a throw-away post for today. The relentless drive for "donations" gives birth to some really cray cray stuff. The opportunities for innuendo and puns are almost endless with something like this. I will leave that to the many humorous commenters that frequent this site. As I said, for personal reasons I don't have much time to devote to putting together a decent post today. Hope Tony O has something good... … [Read more...]
The Blame Game
Scientology plays an interesting game of taking credit for anything good AND bad in a person's life. For anything good, it's BECAUSE the person is a good scientologist "applying the tech" and for anything bad it's because the person is NOT a good scientologist and is not applying the tech and thus they are suffering their "just rewards." This "win/win" takes many forms and is a practiced art of the scientologist. If you are doing well in life and have plenty of money you are not only lauded for your "humanitarian contributions", you are expected to make sure that everyone knows it is … [Read more...]
OT VIII Success
When this is the best you have, scraping the barrel doesn't really describe it. After half a million dollars and years and years of sacrifice, the accomplishment seems to be more "I finally made it over the finish line" than anything tangible. It's all vague "I could say this, but it's not really that" and I am "naturally happy" or "I am OT"... blah blah All in all, a VERY unimpressive mandatory "success story" provided in order to be allowed to get off the Freewinds. But this is the one they chose to send out as broad promotion? Maybe they don't HAVE any others? Either way, an … [Read more...]
