Thursday Funnies
"Ignite" your prosperity That's a new word. Wonder if it will join "milestone," "epic" and "watershed" as a go-to for scientology promo? This may be the start of a new trend. You heard it here first. Of course -- all VERY religious. Even a $25 admission fee. Columbus is rocking Nearly half way through the alphabet -- what an accomplishment. 3 or 4 dedicated people working on this. They will have Columbus cleared in no time. Uh-oh They had to ship in Sea Org members to file their CF! OMG, how bad can things be. And those SO Members are … [Read more...]
AOSHANZO is Crushing It! (Not really…)
These guys are SO proud of what they are accomplishing they have to put it out for all the world to see. Of course, it helps to attract my attention when I see my brother and sister-in-law in the thick of it. Before looking at what they have achieved, let's put things in perspective. This is the SINGLE Advanced Org and SH for "ANZO" -- which in scientology speak is the "continental area" that includes Australia, New Zealand and "Oceania" -- which “obviously” incorporates South East Asia and Japan and China. But it is interesting to note that despite a single org in Tokyo and more rec … [Read more...]
Crazy “Source” Quotes
Scientologists love to quote L. Ron Hubbard (or “Source” as he liked to be referred to) for literally everything. If Source pronounced it, then it is holy truth. If he said he had visited Heaven or Mars or psychs came from an evil planet called Farsec or you wash windows with newspaper -- these things were literally true. They choose odd things to extract from his writings and "speakings" -- sometimes they are completely out of context and have no meaning whatsoever, sometimes they are grandiose pronouncements of the importance of scientology and his technology, other times they are "st … [Read more...]
Memorial Day Disgrace
See the excellent piece at Tony Ortega’s blog this morning concerning L. Ron Hubbard’s stolen valor. I was sent a couple of promotional items from this year that have a different focus. Many will find this just as crass as the fake medals and war hero status of Ron the War Hero. This day is supposed to be about remembering those who have fallen, but any excuse to get some suckers in so they can be victims of some good old fashioned “hard sell” is an opportunity scientology does not want to miss. So, on L. Ron Hubbard Way today, in solemn commemoration of his war hero status, kids can g … [Read more...]
California Dreamin’
The big push is on for an "Ideal California" -- as if this is going to change anything... The fundraising promotional pieces are coming hard and fast. Below are just a few from the last week. What is so incredible is that these people think that the last ideal org in California is going to make any difference to anything or anyone. Think about it. The third "ideal org" ever is in San Francisco. There are "ideal" orgs in Sacramento and 3 others in the Bay Area (Stevens Creek, Los Gatos and "Silicon Valley" -- remember when they were going to take over the world because they were … [Read more...]
STAAD League Stooges
This person has shown up on my Facebook page posting links to "articles" from the STAAD League. Pretty much the usual junk mail that I rarely even see, but I happened to notice this one. In their crazy efforts to convince people that scientology is "multidenominational" and "welcomes everyone" they have launched into outer space. Ask a real muslim if Nation of Islam is true to the teachings of Muhammad and represents their views.... Because they have Islam in their name does not make them real Muslims. I guess Christiana Michael doesn't know about the contents of the R6 bank? Or … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
It's an "ideal island"... Like they now have an "ideal Florida" with 3, yes, 3 ideal orgs in a state with more than 20 million residents. Just think, they will have ONE org for an island with a population of 3.6 million. Actually, that should really be ideal -- 99.9% of the population will never come in contact with scientology. The other 360 people will be the unlucky ones. But in fact there are dozens of even more ideal islands (nations) in the Caribbean that are entirely scientology free zones (except when the Freewinds is in port). Odd how the “OT sh … [Read more...]
Reality in Scientology
It is a very warped world inside the scientology bubble. Occasionally we get a glimpse that is not just the "We ARE Clearing ____city, country, the planet" or "we are expanding faster than ever in history" or the wildly overused "monumental, epic, highest ever, greatest in history, golden age" etc etc Here we have some reality. The Senior C/S Kansas City is trying to get some more tech staff to join his 12 auditors (a number he seems strangely quite proud of...) He tries to sell the upsides of Kansas City -- move here and join staff because we have trees, hills, fountains and music -- … [Read more...]
