The Chan Man He is going to singlehandedly make Canada ideal, like he has the US (except for those who are still trying...) If this guy is SO powerful, how come all orgs aren't done yet? The Magic of Chicago? Bringing out the best in your child... Plus Freewinds "goodwill" tour and the Top Gun Chicago Air and Water show. Every one of these is a disguised recruitment event. Trying to get anyone to show up they can pressure into joining staff. Why not start with Marcy Sargeant? Wick Allcock is still in Melbourne? He HAS been "put out to … [Read more...]

World Out of Comm/Key to Life
Remember I said in the posting Where Did Super Power Come From? that the plans for the "Humongous Rundown" were replaced by subsequent "next big things," one of which was Key to Life? This is another of the Christi Gordon documents: The World Out of Comm evaluation by Hubbard was issued without a "handling." The "handling" was the Key to Life Course. As you can see from this eval, this was again a solution to STAFF incompetence. If you read the data trail of this eval, you will see what a low regard Hubbard had for people in general and scientology staff members in … [Read more...]
Pat & Andrew Rinder
This was sent to me recently. It saddens me to be reminded of just how deeply in the mind-prison my brother and sister-in-law are. Of course, like me, my brother was raised in scientology, and despite not being in the Sea Org, scientology is all he has ever known. They are totally dedicated to the lie that scientology is saving mankind. And even worse, that "ideal orgs" are what is achieving this. They have given a ton of money to the "ideal org" campaign, and even worse, persuade others to do so. All the while they are in the Melbourne ideal org all the time, and their son is the C/S … [Read more...]
Sci-Kid-ologese
This collation of scientology terminology was sent to me by Christi Gordon. It was compiled by a number of second generation "scientology kids" -- the most prominent listed on the cover above. They note that this is "A thoughtful collaboration to gather and share the many euphemisms, nuanced phrases, commands & threats used to guide the children of scientology." It is very lengthy -- a reflection of just how much jargon there is in scientology. It is a secret language for the bubble-dwellers. And it is one of the things that sets cults apart from other … [Read more...]
Through the Bubble – Lili’s Adventures in Scientologyland Part 23
This is the twenty-third installment of the account of a journey into and out of scientology -- written by one of our long-term readers. I hope you enjoy her insights, humor and style. Lili also provided a glossary of terms. Through the Bubble - Lili’s Adventures in Scientologyland This is my quirky recollection of events. Others may remember things differently. Lingo is italicized on the first mention, capitalized after that. I’ve compressed complexities in the cult to simplify your reading pleasure. Part 23 The Verbal Data Berlin Wall In Scientology, when you study to be an … [Read more...]

Thanks to your support, A Billion Years is now #1 (hardcover) AND #2 (Kindle) in the "Scientology" category on Amazon. So much amazing support! … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
AO Africa?? Never seems to reflect "Africa"... There's one token representative on the left of the shot. Africa? She's from Germany. Not at AOSHEU which is just across the border? No wonder... They are promoting "public are flying in from all over the world". Apparently there aren't enough scientologists in Africa to keep an AO busy Accepting Applications from Upstat Persons Not really true. ANYBODY qualifies. And they're not "accepting applications" they are begging for anyone from anywhere to join … [Read more...]
A Billion Years — Day One
Thank you so much for all your kind comments and words of encouragement here and on social media. Many people have asked if there will be an audiobook. I am recording it this week and next and it will be available on 27 Sept too. You can pre-order the Kindle version on Amazon now. And special thanks to everyone who pre-ordered the book yesterday. Before the end of the day it was listed as "#1 Bestseller in Scientology" which is amazing. It's in the same category as Dianetics and Fundamentals of Thought and all the other Hubbard books. The publishers collected … [Read more...]
A Billion Years: My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology
I have finally written a book. It was announced in a press release today -- it will be available on 27 September. You can find it at the Simon and Schuster website where there are links to all major retailers to pre-order if you are so inclined. There is also a description of the book and some initial reviews from Leah, Alex Gibney, Lawrence Wright and John Sweeney. It's taken a long time to put together. I hope it doesn't disappoint any of you who have been asking me to write a book. I am about to begin recording the audiobook. The press … [Read more...]
