The item below is evidence that the "only workable administrative technology on earth" doesn't work. There has never been ANY org, ever that has managed to implement and maintain the vaunted Hubbard Admin Tech as it is written. Apologists claim it is because people "don't apply it correctly" but that is a silly argument because after 60 years if not a single person has managed to be able to apply it as written, then it is not "workable." There is no scientology organization on earth that has EVER been able to maintain the arcane, "Central Files" system mandated by "policy." Not one, … [Read more...]
The Fastest Growing Religion On Earth
Ladies and gentlemen, Calgary "org" in all its magnificence. This is the embodiment of the straight up and vertical, epic and monumental expansion scientology is experiencing under the leadership of the Chairman of the Board RTC, Mr. David Miscavige. It's 47X something or other. And greater expansion in the last year than in 50 years combined previously. And here is how that growth manifests itself in the city of Calgary. There are no excuses in Canada. No foreign language barrier. No governmental suppression. No drug cartels roaming the streets. No gangs. Free healthcare. Nice … [Read more...]
64X Expansion
42X was not good enough. Let's make it 64X in 17 months. 64 is a good number. 8x8. 4 cubed. 2 to the 6th power. It just has a nice ring to it that connotes exponential expansion.... 17 months I am not so sure about. 18 would have been better, but someone probably decided 17 sounded less contrived. Like instead of saying there were 12,000 people at the SP building ribbon cutting there were 12,311, because nobody would make up an exact number like that unless it was true. But really it is 19 months since GAG II. I suppose if you are going to just make up numbers it doesn't matter wh … [Read more...]
Scientology Portland – Truthful Numbers
By a Special Correspondent This image was posted by a sharp-eyed commenter over on Tony Ortega's blog. It shows a full listing of Scientology Portlands statistics for a series of weeks leading up to March 13th. Scientology goes to incredible extremes to hide the actual numbers associated with its various organizations and always publishes "graphs" that are just meaningless squiggles devoid of any dates or numbers. These two boards show Scientology Portland, Daytime Organization and their race for improved numbers to celebrate L Ron Hubbard's birthday. And well done to them indeed, you … [Read more...]
It’s Magic: St Hill Is Highest Evers
How do you make instant "highest evers statistics"? It's easy, just combine TWO orgs into ONE. It's like a "golden age" expansion formula that Dear Leader has conjured up. Here is something from the latest UK Advance! mag. What is really amazing is the gleeful way they promote the closure of another org, one that L. Ron Hubbard himself put in place and wrote NUMEROUS policy letters about. How do they call themselves "on source scientologists" who are "dedicated to keeping scientology working" and "doing what Ron says" and yet get all excited about "the merge of Saint Hill … [Read more...]
Stockholm Syndrome and Faustian Deals
From one of our Swedish Special Correspondents. He took a trip to the hinterlands of Stockholm on Saturday afternoon to check out the 47X expansion in his area of the world. I will try to tell you my observations of Scientology's unprecedented expansion in my corner of the World. When I studied medicine in the early 80s you could always see Scientologists selling Dianetics or that Protection-against-radiation-book at Stockholm Central Station. The Church of Scientology had an Org in Central Stockholm. Than they dissappeared, I don't know when but it was many years ago I … [Read more...]
PAC/LA Org Update: Contraction Is Expansion
Thursday Funnies have been postponed to Friday in order to update the happenings in PAC. I was out of town all day yesterday so didn't have a chance to compile the information sent in from various sources. This is clearly a topic of considerable interest and The Funnies won't lose their funny in a day.... Tonight (Friday) is the Big Spin presentation of "greatest expansion ever" news with the combining of two Day and Foundation Orgs and the wholesale "letting go" of the contracted staff of the Model Ideal Org. What is astonishing is that as long as ANY news is presented as … [Read more...]
Scientology Newspeak
In the topsy-turvy Newspeak world of scientology, add to the classic phrases from Orwell's 1984 a fourth: CONTRACTION IS EXPANSION. As long as the news is preceded with some modifiers "greatest expansion ever" or "exciting news of our accomplishments" or something similar, ANYTHING can be presented as "proof" that the 47X straight up and vertical expansion is continuing unchecked. Even the eradication ("combining") of a Sea Org org. Closing an SO Org has got to take the cake as far as pigs ear catastrophes presented as silk purse accomplishments. It has never happened … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Just to kick things off -- here is a recent Facebook posting about the newly formed Clearwater Postulate Guild (I kid you not): I really think these people need to touch bases with reality. But they had better be careful what they are "postulating" for as a Clearwater government that was "uptone" (ie not in fear) and made sane decisions vis a vis the church may not be to the liking of the "OT's" and their Postulate Guild. Before they start clearing anything down under, maybe they should start by clearing their MUs? Or at least getting an ideal spell checker. They didn't … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Please, please, please come in. Pretty please. They will resort to anything to try and get people to come into their idle morgues.... Really? The Wobble. Cupid Shuffle. Teaching poker "moves"? Just like Ron says. Scientology v. Dudeism A Special Correspondent sent this in to me, she thought it was amusing, and so do I. Anyone who has ever seen The Big Lebowski will get the joke, but whether you have or haven't, the comparison to the scientology facebook page is pretty funny. Let's not forget church of scientology is on the "cutting edge of internet dissemination" … [Read more...]
