Apparently this is what passes for "dissemination" these days. You know, if Planetary Clearing was really a thing, you would think they would spend some of their money to open some missions and orgs in India. Scientology is not banned there like it is in China. It's a MASSIVE population and there has never been a single org in the entire country. Instead, they ask people for money to buy books to hand to "opinion leaders" and call this "planetary Dissemination at the correct order of magnitude." And just as a note, the crazy stats about India you include only prove your complete … [Read more...]

Scientology, Confront, and Fear
Our old friend, Terra Cognita has returned with another thought provoking essay. Scientology, Confront, and Fear One of the more celebrated concepts in Scientology has to do with “confront.” From Training Routine 0 on the beginning Communications Course, to ferreting out demons on the OT Levels, the ability to confront is paramount in achieving spiritual freedom. A Scientologist is nothing without excellent confront. The old Scientology tech dictionary lists four definitions for the word. 1. An action of being able to face. 2. The ability to be there comfortably and perceive. 3. Confront i … [Read more...]
Pot. Kettle. Black.
The STAAD League continues to froth and rant about the strangest things. While they try to maintain a pretense that they care about anything OTHER than scientology's right to abuse people without censure, they fail routinely. Here is their latest "cause" -- my reference to Michael Chan as Chan Man in the Thursday Funnies. Apparently a rhyming nickname calling him a "Man" is a "racial slur," "bigotry" and even "homophobic"(?) and I should not be employed by anyone associated with Disney (the parent company of A&E). I am happy to know that Michael reads the Thursday Funnies (well, … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
No barriers? Why not resolve all the barriers to org expansion? To making Ideal Orgs? Elvis? Seriously? And he loves Vegas so he is promoting Albuquerque? 1st Ideal Continent It's going to be a LONG time before they get Canberra or Adelaide anywhere near "ideal." Free hot dogs... Anything to try to get anyone to show up so they get be swarmed by Regges. The Renaissance Speakers? Michael Chan Flim-Flam Man Only $10... Dissemination? Drug booklets? You do know they don’t talk about S … [Read more...]
Give Ireland Back to the Irish
Somehow, the ONLY people who seem to be in the Dublin "ideal org" are from other countries. Now I will freely admit that I love to visit Ireland. It is truly a magical country and the people are wonderful. But why did Miscavige need to plonk an ideal down there when all there has ever been in Ireland is a bankrupt mission? And as the months go by, it is proving by its OWN promotion that it cannot get the Irish to come near its 10 million dollar vanity project. It seems the only people participating in services there are those who have been pilfered from other "ideal" orgs around the … [Read more...]
327 MILLION
This is a VERY good question.... They just throw out the horrendous reality that they have to get 327 million people to Clear. Even though the vast majority of ideal orgs are in the US, those ideal orgs combined do not produce 10 Clears a week. Even if they produced 100, or even 1,000 a week (they would be going psycho if that ever happened) that is still only 50,000 in a year. The population of the US is increasing by 3 million per year. They are falling behind by 3 million every year, even though they keep opening "ideal orgs". The fact is these orgs are NOT increasing the … [Read more...]
Money, Money, Money
THIS is what scientology is all about. Getting your money. And the photo above shows just how brazen they are. They don't even pretend these days to be about "helping you" or "moving you up the Bridge". It is ALL about getting your money. And then to try to attract new people, they offer courses on "how to make money." These are available for scientologists too. If anyone does learn anything from these courses and does make more money, scientology figures it's a win, win, as they can then get that money. Scientology has proclaimed to the Supreme Court of the US and the IRS that they … [Read more...]
More Ideal Org Fail Proof
The Colorado Rockies parking lot that doubles as an "ideal" scientology org in Denver has just sent out an exclamation-laced update announcing the amazing news that they had 19 people on service IN A MONTH (July)! And you can bet most of them were on "Basics" courses, Student Hat and Purif. Remember, this "ideal" org, like all the others, is supposed to accommodate 200 students IN THE ACADEMY and has 40 auditing rooms and is supposed to be servicing 300 - 500 people in Division 6 each week. But more than 6 YEARS after being announced as "ideal", they have seen so few people (other … [Read more...]
OT VIII Damned With Faint Praise
This is supposedly a rousing success story from a new OT VIII completion. They published this as something to be proud of. Explaining the massive wins available from the pinnacle of The Bridge. And this is all “E.T.” could come up with — it was remarkable (apparently not as not much in the way of remarks) and gave “more attention for the present” (not even “I’m in PT” which is the supposed result of Objectives) and “felt” the ability to “know and understand” was increased and and enlarged. And a raise in Reality and Affinity can, according to LRH, be increased by talking to someone. Just ta … [Read more...]
