This is a new "success" story from a "New OT VIII" completion who has completed "OT VIII Expanded" (didn't know there was such a thing) even though she had completed the "original" OT VIII. She now has to provide a "success." this is the basic "tech" to turn failure into success. Step 1 -- ignore the fact you were sold a bill of goods (with great fanfare) the first time. It was not actually the "real thing" but some screwed up squirrel version. Miscavige and "Senior C/S Int" were there delivering it (and raking in the dough) but erase that from your whole track recall. You … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard’s Obsession with Instant Reads
It's SaTerraDay -- this one is going to provoke some reactions... L. Ron Hubbard’s Obsession with Instant Reads A read—very basically the movement of an e-meter needle from left to right—is what auditors use to determine whether an item in their PC’s mind is “charged” and should be addressed. LRH wrote in HCOB 5 Aug 78, that “the correct definition of instant read is that reaction of the needle which occurs at the precise end of any major thought voiced by the auditor. All definitions which state it is fractions of seconds after the question is asked, are cancelled. Thus an instant read whic … [Read more...]
Scientology Massive Popularity and Expansion
Scientology makes various claims about 47X expansion and 421.7 people per second reach for scientology and scientology has "the most visited religious site" on the internet blah blah Out of curiosity I looked up the status of traffic on Scientology.org. Alexa, if you didn't know, ranks websites by traffic volume. The most visited site in the world is #1 (Google). Thus, the smaller the number, the better. Scientology.org is ranked at 126,424 in the world and 38,851 in the US. This is not very good, and as you can see, their trend is not healthy. Out of curiosity, I … [Read more...]
Harvey Update
With a lot of talk and emails and hype, the yellow shirts of the largest relief force on earth have not shown up on the radar in response to Hurricane Harvey. Here is the latest from the bubble. The first promotional item from the CO CLO WUS announces that there are less than 400 VM's (out of the 200,000 they claim to have) who have arrived to help with Hurricane Harvey. And of course that number of 400 is massively inflated -- but it is the HIGHEST it could possibly be (scientology math is something from another dimension... 12 Million scientologists, 200,000 VMs etc etc). You will note … [Read more...]
It’s a Dog Eat Dog World
This is a recent email to one of our long-term commenters. He also provided his response for your entertainment. What is most interesting about this is the desperation it indicates. This message is from the Advanced Org in the UK. That is supposed to be the organization that serves the orgs in the UK and Ireland. They should be providing the public that AOSHUK survives on. And remember, they have one of the oldest "ideal" orgs that is "clearing London". Hey forget all the other orgs in the UK, why aren't all those Clears from London flooding AOSHUK? Obviously they are desperate to get … [Read more...]
Valley OTC Minutes
Some recent notes from the Valley Ideal Org OT Committee. A few things of note (and there is a lot more to be gleaned from these notes): They have stopped including stats They have the same old same old people attending their meetings it would appear the opening of the new "ideal org" changed nothing. They are back to working on "CF" and collecting money for other ideal orgs The stats at the bottom of this posting show that for AN ENTIRE YEAR Valley org had 6 new public start on service and $208,000 in VSD (less than one intensive of auditing a week) - for this they invested … [Read more...]
Sea Org “Command”
This is "sea org" command. Here, "Command" means assuming an unearned position of authority (bestowed strictly by signing a billion year contract) where you order people around as if they are all your personal slaves. "I am counting on you" and "I am expecting" etc etc. The email below from the "CO FSSO" is a perfect example of the entitlement such people feel. Of course, no one would want to miss these events. This is magnified when the Sea Org "command" is in the hands of an MAA/Ethics Officer. Often no more than children, they are suddenly handed control over others' lives. … [Read more...]
