Now, this is really going to "get 'er done." That the CO WISE EUS headlined a weekend of fun-filled activities at "Flag" on how to build "ideal orgs" says it all. What a strange choice -- when the legal cases against WISE groups are filed, the church protests LOUDLY that WISE has NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION and THE CHURCH IS NOT INVOLVED. Surely EUS and Flag are not THAT short on anyone to speak that the ONLY person they could come up with for the weekend seminar was the CO WISE EUS? Or maybe they are? And what an exciting agenda it was -- team competence drills, a simple sales … [Read more...]
Plymouth
The "ideal" org in Plymouth is rocking and rolling according to the latest quotes from "church spokespuppet" in The Herald as you can see below. This spokespuppet is caught trying to explain the unexplainable. Which is why you rarely see ANY quotes from any official church spokespuppets in any media anywhere. She knows she has to tell "acceptable truths" -- she cannot say they "haven't raised the money" and are not allowed to have their designs done until they have paid in advance, so she has to say the incredible, that after 4 years it's a "long process" as we "want to get the scheme just … [Read more...]
The Flag World Tour Is Cominng(sic)
This probably should have been saved for the Thursday Funnies as it is so ridiculous. But then again, most promotional items that emanate from corporate scientology qualify for the "funny pages." The latest gimmick in their desperation to even get people to tell them they are coming: confirm your attendance, you will receive a free bookmark! Hurry, get in before the RUSH, while supplies last. And the "pitch" is really convincing "to make email confirmation more popular and convenient for you" -- ha. Anyone that believes this is for the benefit of the target sheeple deserves to go to t … [Read more...]
Money, Power, Servitude
This new book is a must read for anyone interested in scientology and what goes on inside the church. Peter Bonyai recounts his experiences from the day he first walked into a mission in Pecs, Hungary through his life in the Sea Org and ultimately to his departure 10 years later. I helped Peter by editing the english translation (he wrote it in his native tongue and translated it himself). I found the book fascinating and compelling. Peter has a wonderful sense of humor and an amazing ability to analyze both the insanity of what he experienced and his internal responses and thoughts, … [Read more...]
Hold The Phone: Sacramento Ideal Org Made Their First Clear
Wow, great news. Only 2.5 years after opening the magnificent ideal org in Sacramento they made their first clear. Don't usually bother with these OTC Minutes but this was just too much to ignore. And one Clear after 2.5 years is MOTIVATION for Valley to follow in their illustrious footsteps. Doesn't take much to please these people.... At that rate, Sacramento will clear the current residents of their city in a mere 1.2 million years. Just a couple of other nuggets: 135 orgs still need to become "ideal"... They have a single hatted "Producer of Dinners." And Quinn Taufer … [Read more...]
Clive Rabey Lets It All Hang Out
Clive's "big release" event over the weekend, with vital news that everyone MUST hear, seems to be encapsulated in his email below. (I haven't received any report concerning attendance -- it was difficult for any Special Correspondent to attend as when you are one of 3 people in the audience even OSA can narrow down who leaked it after 2 guesses). I realized today that Clive reminds me of Mr. Bean, so in his honor, I included a visual to get things off on the right foot. If it's not fun it's not scientology.... The "big news" is that once they reach the 10,000 onto or … [Read more...]
Class VIII, OT VIII, 3 L’s Beginning Scientologist
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.... This is today's topsy turvy world of scientology -- what is up (the Bridge) is down. What is down (stat) is straight up and vertical. Progress in Scientology these days is going back and starting it all over again. You didn't make it. Back down the snake you go. And now you can buy a new ladder from us. Only problem is, we keep adding more snakes. The real End Phenomena of involvement in the church of scientology is going ALL the way to the bottom of the bridge, sliding right off and realizing you are no longer a scientologist. And … [Read more...]
Berndt Mottl Pitches Super Power
Another entrant in the Wacky Stakes trying to make a run at Mike "Oops" Smith, David "the Bard of the Valley" Wilson and Pat "My real name will suffice" Parody. Berndt is giving it the old college try with a mixture of crazy "False 4" euphoria and good old "Tone 40" commands. His grammar can be excused because he is not a native english speaker, but his structure leaves a little to be desired, especially when he seems to get confused about his survey and his success story in the middle there. But boy, you cannot criticize him for lack of hype. Or missing out on the opportunity to get in … [Read more...]
The Golden Age Of Admin Is Coming!!
The OT Committee blabberfests provide some interesting insight into the bubble. Usually we see stats reflecting the real scene, often they give us an idea of what the attention is on (it's invariably MONEY), and sometimes they slip up by announcing "future plans." Of course, the impending Golden Age of Admin is no surprise. But this is the first "official" mention of it. There's not much left to turn into a "Golden Age" -- and it's a good one as all previous failures can be blamed on the "lack of standard Admin Tech." Of course no "ideal org" is going to make it as the OEC has been … [Read more...]
Flag Is Empty
I hear they finished turning the Oak Cove back into a hotel. And its empty. The big influx to Flag hasn't been so big. Now they have too many empty hotel rooms, too many idle Russian housekeepers and maids, and too little income. So, the solution, as always: put on the squeeze. They are "losing money" because some out of town people would rather rent a room or apartment by the month than pay for a room at the Friendliest Place In The World (tm) by the day. For many it is not even the cost, its the fact that you cannot escape the regges/fundraisers/vultures at ANY time. Just another … [Read more...]
