Thursday Funnies
Perth IS going St Hill Size And we know that because... they said so! Should be enough for anyone to buy in. Still using photos from the ribbon yanking as there is nothing else happening there at all. As always, it's fundraising, fundraising and more fundraising... Gangsters seems like a very appropriate theme. Still baking cookies Why? Nobody is quite sure. But it seems like a good idea. They send their best OUT of the HGC? Nah, he is renowned for falling asleep in session. So he cannot take paying … [Read more...]
Scientology and the Clearwater Police Department
Clearwater Police Chief Slaughter took the unusual step of making a YouTube video in response to The Aftermath episode which recounted the "Park Incident" with Mark Bunker. This was then published on the OpEd page of the Tampa Bay Times. Below is the full message from Chief Slaughter so everyone has complete context. Then some of my thoughts following this: For years the Clearwater Police Department has been thrust into the middle of a debate between a controversial religion and its critics, without a voice in the matter. We feel it important to publish some facts of our own to … [Read more...]
“Recovering” People: Scientology’s Desperation
Things are becoming more desperate inside the scientology bubble. There are signs everywhere. There are so many people "off the Bridge" that they have to hold seminars to help train people to get them back... in the “good old days” there were more new people coming in than blew off so those who decided the tech didn’t work were pretty much ignored. Focus was on getting those who bought into the “Bridge” to keep moving up. Nowdays they make a big show of reaching new people with soft sell SuperBowl ads and scientologyTV but these are really just to show the whales something is being done w … [Read more...]
Some Information About Religious Tax Exemption
Mary Kahn reminded me yesterday in a comment about John Oliver of the brilliant piece he did on Religious Tax Exemption. This is satire at its finest -- exposing truths through humor. It is cringe-inducing funny. If you have never seen this, or if you haven't watched it for a few years, it is VERY instructive. I recommend it highly as it lays out a LOT of information and gives insight into scientology and its ongoing tax exempt status. This is, in part, why the IRS has been perfectly content to allow scientology to be tax exempt all these years. There is also the fact that … [Read more...]
That’s Not Funny!
Remember the scientologist crowing about how "LRH tech is permeating society" because they saw something on TV that resembled a Hubbard process, the real truth is that scientology has become the butt of numerous jokes (which of course are NOT “LRH out in the mainstream and are definitely NOT funny).... Even the Kominski Method itself has a direct reference to scientology causing the disconnection of a child. Stephen Colbert takes regular shots at scientology. John Oliver has a running series of scientology jokes. Even his backdrop includes a joke and Dianetics makes regular a … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Holocaust Hypocrisy
The OSA fake outrage website has hit a new low. While they hand out their "human rights" awards to one of the most reviled anti-semites in the US, they have the nerve to pretend they are "Standing With Jews Everywhere"... Hey OSA, this is your idea of "standing with Jews"? Palling around with Tony Mohammed, Louis Farrakhan's sidekick and apologist, with the Nazi hate propaganda on his promotional posters? In fact, you gave this guy your highest award... a Freedom Medal like you gave Tom Cruise. And you feature him on your ScientologyTV propaganda channel with his own … [Read more...]
