The endless pitch... It's always about to happen. Donors of a New Eternity? What happened to the old eternity? Did you know? This "expedition" was a total catastrophic bust. But that doesn't match the scientology version in which everything Hubbard ever did was amazing... Missed a few... Poor. Overworked. Tired. Ethics trouble. Not clear. Exclusive (?) Briefing Why? The "latest news" is deja vu all over again. It's "coming".... Poor suckers Every "ideal org" that struggled to raise their last dollars, and … [Read more...]

Scientology Expasion is Biggest In History
Michael D splains the expasion which is the biggest in history (and yes, he spells it wrong twice in the opening para). He may be an IAS Freedom Medal Winner but it does not mean he can spell (he probably did the Student Hat too -- that apparently was no help either). Of course, it's ALWAYS the biggest in history... But let me ask you something Michael. What measure of expasion are you using? Certainly not the number of new orgs and missions opened. There were none. Certainly not the number of OT VIII's made. Nor the number of new people into scientology. Or courses … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Sleazy Fundraiser
Anything is good reason to hand over your cash in the world of scientology... A disaster. A new building. Ron's birthday. Your birthday. The end of the year. Thursday at 2. The Super Bowl... But this one, from Mr. CCHR himself, the Financial Investment Advisor, Author, IAS Freedom Medal Winner, Keynote Speaker, IAS Reg and all around homo novis, is over the top even by scientology standards: Bruce Wiseman is pitching people to give $20 a month for the "majestic" commercials (this last one was anything BUT majestic -- confusing drivel more like, with a condescending "we thought so" … [Read more...]
Scientology Tax Exemption — Muffins Strikes Back
Clearly, David Miscavige is feeling the mounting pressure on his most cherished treasure: tax exempt status bestowed on scientology by the IRS in 1993. It takes considerable effort to get a letter published about a relatively obscure subject in a major paper like the LA Times. It is apparently a response to an op-ed piece that ran last November. 3 months of work to get this miserable piece of misleading propaganda to run... Monique "Muffins" Yingling makes a rare appearance to argue on behalf of Miscavige. She has been as out of sight as the COB himself since her fateful appearance on 20/20 … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Sunday
Due to a brain fart, I messed up the days of the week. As promised, here are the Funnies today... It only takes a day? Wow, there are some others orgs that would like to know how you plan to pull this off... Rapper and Humanitarian... What a combo. But they forgot his number one profession. Registrar trying to get commissions. That's an awful lot of Muhammads... And look at those guest speakers -- it tells you everything you need to know. This isn't going to be about spiritual enlightenment. It's going to only be about lightening your … [Read more...]
Scientology Condition of Liability
Scientology Condition of Liability I’m always amazed at the ability of Scientologists to turn a blind eye to the LRH tech and policy they’ve sworn to follow and uphold. I should know. From my first week as a student on the Communication Course way back when, I put on blinders every time I walked in the mission. The more I studied, the more I knew things weren’t completely right. Then again, there was this young blonde girl... But I digress. Per L. Ron Hubbard’s Condition of Liability, “Below Non-Existence there is the Condition of Liability. The being has ceased to be simply non-existent as a … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
The Shrinking World of Scientology
It is hard to imagine 10 or 20 years ago that the March 13th event in LA would NOT be held in the Shrine Auditorium. It was one of the BIG events that was always held in a big venue. Back in the day, there were also big events for Auditor's Day and May 9th held at the Shrine Auditorium. The Auditor's Day event was first to go. It was too close to the IAS event and too soon after the Maiden Voyage -- AND it was not a big money-maker and celebrating auditors was not high on Miscavige's priority list. First Dear Leader stopped attending, then it became a "local" event (ie no central … [Read more...]
