Scientology repeatedly denies this, but here it is in black and beige.
The “Director of Clearing” of the Portland “ideal org” is proudly announcing how the “4D campaigns” (anti-drug, education, WTH, human rights, Volunteer Ministers) are really “dissemination tools” to get people into the org so they can be “closed” to buy scientology books and services. They are even conducting a seminar on “how to disseminate with these campaigns.”
The truth is these campaigns are ONLY supported for two reasons:
- For photo ops to try to present the image that scientology is selfless and provides some form of public benefit
- As a means of enticing people to “find out more about the works of L. Ron Hubbard” and suck them into the money vacuum that is scientology.
Period.
And here is something you didn’t know (partly because it is simply made up) the WTH is the most OT of all things written by L. Ron Hubbard. Except perhaps the running program, which is really off-the chart OT and is the last “rundown” he went off to do. But the value of WTH is “infinite” and it’s called “Operation: Planetary Calm” so it’s got to be epic, right?
The things these people come up with is absolutely stunning.
It is truly a culture of lies and deception.
PS: That picture kind of tells the story of this “ideal org” – a cold looking lonely woman standing on the sidewalk trying to persuade anyone to come inside for a “free personality analysis.”
What I discovered was that the ruin is ALWAYS connected to a specific lower emotion, one the individual is dramatizing regularly.
The Director of Clearing–other than reminiscent of the Publishers Clearinghouse scam–reminds me of a line in Bob Dylan’s “Tom Thumb Blues:”
“Don’t you put on any airs when you’re lost on Rue Morgue (Org) Avenue
They got some hungry creatures there, they’ll surely make a mess out of you”
Wimmen. Hungry wimmen.
I had to have some Pizza to calm done after reading this 4 D IAS BALONEY
If any truth at all for all the Money I gave for 4 th Dynamic projects
there should be 1,000 Gazillion people in Scientology and 900 Jillion OT 8’s
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot where are they??????
Correction: Done should be down.
Addition: I was one of first to give money to open Russia which was to
Russian Misha Priverouski. I also was friends with the Hollywood
Real Estate mogul who bankrolled the first Russian Org.
Now Russians are tapped to be FSO slaves !
I gave cash for a ship when Napier was sitting at a desk under a staircase
at ASHO scaring up a crew for a ship that was only an idea at that time.
y’know, not that I want to help them suck people in or anything, but if I were trying to get someone to come to listen to a lecture, I would not charge $15. Especially since the lecture is on tape AND from the 1950’s! There are free lectures/talks provided by ALIVE people who actually have something prescient to say all the time. I know 15 bucks is cheap by scientology standards, but seriously guys, you gotta give something to get something. wankers.
Scientology has a bridge it wants to sell you but first it needs to have a chat with you. Alone. It wants to know a little bit about you, get inside your head and see if you have anything it can improve, change or LIQUIDATE! It would love to help you and it will promise you wonderful things to start you out on the lifelong quest to be the person Ron Hubbard says you’re supposed to be. You’re not EVER going to be transformed into that person BUT you will have a lot of scientology “wins”.
A ‘win’ is the notion you’ve undergone a permanent change for the better. At first your wins will be enjoyable like feeling totally alert and serene at the same time (an experience some believe is unique to scientology!). Those wins can last anywhere from a couple minutes upwards to a couple days! Those are nice wins. Then the wins will become “astonishing” like having all your dynamics expand to infinity or being more “at cause” which I think means having a good feeling about something or other. But first scientology needs to chat with you alone in the hope you’re dumb as a bag of hammers, rich and never heard of the internet.
“Sell it with services.” – right? Not now. Now it’s sell it with non or minimally existent 4D campaigns.
I remember the Seinfeld show became known as the show “about nothing.” That’s what the church of david miscavige has become. The religion “about nothing.” Just get em’ in and get their money – for nothing.
To paraphrase Dire Straits, “Money for nothing and Scotch for free”.
Love your blog for the very witty comments and for exposing facts. Thank you Mike
“How arrogant, self-absorbed & moronic do you have to be to call out someone you want to come back to you on anything?” Has to be a scientologist!
I’ve heard Thank You For Listening and We Stand Tall, those alone would deter me from attending a Scientology “Art Seminar.” We clearly have different ideas about what constitutes art and creativity!
I can’t imagine LRH running, ever, except when he was chasing around that cute thing Jack Parsons for some Crowleyesque “magick” rituals. Oh, how they ran around “poles”, yes indeed. Over and over.
When I was in the Army we used to joke about the Navy. But if you’re in the armed forces during a war you have to run. Which may explain all of the reports of LRH being constantly hospitalized for various ailments.
Don’t ask what Scientology can do for you. Ask what you can do for Scientology. Now that’s some funny shit.
Those people couldn’t lie straight in bed.
What’s their next 4D pgm? – “There can only be us, Ron said so!”
Anyway, all the vulture’s cult is a matter of hard sales.
To get more money, so, whatever it says, the cult is always after money, as Hubbard wrote: “Make money, make more money, get others making more money”.
“Get chummy to make more money.” Love Bombing 101
Does it hurt when they Love Bomb someone? Are they using real bombs or just Cherry Bombs? I hope they don’t use Mustard Gas to Love Bomb them. They’d smell like a hotdog. Crazy shit I guess….
It’s painless. The apparent EP is giving them all your money and feeling great about it. Can I sign you up?
Only if I can bring a sap……errrr, I mean my selectee along with me. Yeah, yeah, dat’s da ticket.
Roger, il fut un temps (je suis sûr que vous devez vous rappeler) quand les gens qui l’habitude d’aller à un ORG qui ont été récupérés ont reçu une session GRATUIT ARCx pour éclaircir ce qui a causé leur départ. Je me souviens à temps plein, il y avait un commissaire aux comptes sur le personnel en service pour elle. Maintenant, tout d’un coup depuis le nouvel âge d’or du Tech a été ré-atteint, ne trouvent pas pourquoi la personne a quitté, savoir ce qu’ils pensent de la question avec eux et Reg eux sur leur ARCx originale qui les a fait partir. Voilà où est l’argent! Cette église pourrait aussi bien souffler ses propres cervelle plutôt que d’essayer de faire de ce L.R.H. SUPPOSÉ travail technique. Il ne fonctionne jamais. Mais ceci est l’Eglise de Scientologie “le monde des manutentions physiques, mentaux et spirituels faux” 🙂
In English: Roger, there was a time (I am sure you must remember) when people that USED to go to an ORG that were RECOVERED were given a FREE ARCx session to clear up what caused them to leave. I remember this full time, there was an auditor on staff on duty for it. Now all of a sudden since the new Golden Age of Tech was re-achieved, don’t find out why the person left, find out what they think is the matter with them and Reg them OVER their original ARCx that caused them to leave. That’s where the money is! This church might as well blow its own brains out rather than to try and make this SUPPOSED L.R.H. tech work. It never works. But this is the Church of Scientology “the world of fake physical, mental and spiritual handlings” 🙂
The running program is the last rundown LRH went off to do???? Now that is funny.
🙂
He was probably feeling run down.
?
Especially if he picked up another body on “Target 2” and let that one get fat. Run down, indeed, Gadfly!
A drug rundown in the hood are a few brothas looking for a local dealer to get their fix.
Gadfly, I believe we need to go and let the church know that there’s an URGENT need for Drug Rundowns all over South Los Angeles. Now, they won’t need a lot of space as the transactions are usually brief. We’ll also need camera equipment to film they’re Grand Opening. THIS ribbon cutting will REALLY be something special….
Word, brah. I’m feelin’ ya.
Hubbard: The Roadrunner.
Miscavige: Mr Magoo, until he drives west on Hollywood Boulevard and sees that new billboard later this month.
Yes, LRH was doing the special ‘running from the law’ program.
And, look……..it worked for him. Hiding in a trailer, full of anti-psych drugs.
All the while, David Miscavige was involved in the ‘running to Las Vegas’ program.
Why do I have a mental picture of Tom and Dave in Las Vegas wearing the matching white suits, a la Rain Man.
Except, while Dave is the short one, Tom is the one telling everyone he needs to watch Judge Wapner.
I run on a running track at the YMCA occasionally. Did LRH specify if you should run clockwise or counterclockwise? It takes enough effort to run 5 miles as it is, it would be a damn shame to be doing it out-tech.
Running counterclockwise is sure to create Counter Intention. Doug, I’d be safe if I were you and run clockwise. You don’t want to become a CICS do you? And don’t counter the dwarf’s intentions either.
Should I be also send a check to the IAS every time I run clockwise? I don’t want to be out-exhcange also.
laughter! I wonder if if OTX might be a counterclockwise Time Track. Truth Un-Revealed
Convicted for something that he told her to do.
The woman on the sidewalk trying to hand out pamphlets reminds me of the store employees who chase after you with lotion samples. Don’t make eye contact with them, walk on the other side of the counter and maybe you can escape without being forced to explain why you are not interested in their product. Sad that they try to push their religion this way.
Does anybody know of even 1 person in the World who came in through TWTH scampaign?
Or is it yet another one of Naughty Davy’s scams:Collect $1.50 for a booklet that costs max 10 cents to print.KSW. Keep Sucking Wallets.
Seems the planet is finally putting in ethics on the”most ethical group on the planet”
Re the Way to Happiness books: The members repeat folk lore stories of how distribution of that booklet was the oil on the water that calmed it down and eradicated drug usage, cleaned up mafia drug pushers, stopped wars, and did other miracles just from distributing the booklets. Yet when you ask if they personally saw this with their own eyes, they did not. It reminds me of stories handed down from generation to generation that are nothing more than blind faith not based in any fact at all. Yet the faithful cling to these lies and legends. They have to. Otherwise they’d have to face a harder truth: that they were taken and it was all a scam.
Cindy, I had a different experience. I went to the middle east to talk with ISIS. I carried with me one lone copy of that fabulous & epic booklet, THE WAY TO HAPPINESS. I held it aloft and all the ISIS members dropped to their knees in thanks! As I walked among harden killers and showing them just the cover of TWTH, they threw down their weapons and cried tears of joy! They now have made me their leader. I’m taking a whole bunch of them to the nearest beach and teach them to surf. Once you really get to know them, they’re really nice guys and they all want to go to Disneyland! I’m trying to charter a jet now….
Good one,OSD!
Dude: I love your epic true to life on the ground witness to how effective a buck fifty’s worth of TWTH is in quelling ISIS international waves of discontent. [Small point but I must point out your spelling error – the second vowel in harden, as in “walked among the harden killers”, should be o not e.]
Damn!!! Busted by the grammar police again! I just hate when that hippens….I mean, happens.
OSD you obviously wrote the scripts for the WTH videos Gold produced.
Man, you’re good GTBO! How did you know? But, yeah, you got me! Guilty as charged.
Lucky you. Usually they decapitate non believers.
>Collect $1.50 for a booklet that costs max 10 cents to print.
During my misspent youth I worked for an offset printing company. Depending on the run size (more is cheaper), stock choice, bindery work and color repro (2, 4 or 6 color) it would cost much less than that, figure max about $.02 per and is most likely on the high side.
A bit on the high side? Ya think? It’s much closer to .0000000002! Scott, did you start drinking early?
Damn that morning Irish coffee….
What have I told you? WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU??? When you drink early, you’re supposed to invite me over for Irish coffee! I thought we were friends…..
What I still find astounding is that Jack Chick could make the effort to misrepresent Dungeons and Dragons as an opening to the worship of Satan but he can’t say a word about LRH and Scientology.
Oh…right…there’s nothing to misrepresent.
So, what does one learn after going through the OT levels??
That the 10 Commandments could be stretched out and padded to include teeth brushing.
So, after all the ‘breakthroughs’ LRH experienced, Moses had him beat by a few thousand years.
Moses was a squirrel.
Giggling like a loon here. I’m tempted to make a lolcatz with that…
😉
Moses was most certainly a squirrel! I believe they RPF’d him in one of the pyramids…
Well,yeah, according to LRH anyway.
“Moses was a squirrel” Still Laughing! Actually, Hubbard WAS Moses. I forget the reference.
Except the song now is Let My People Blow.
Where? To the nearest ‘Swing Club?’
Oh…wait a minute. When you wrote: Let My People Blow, Blow, in this instance, meant leaving. As in “Let’s blow this scene, dudes.” Ok, my bad. Got it. So when they leave do they go to the ‘Swing Club?’
You’ve got to clean up your mind OSD. May I suggest a 200 question sec check?
With my transgressions, I’d blow the meter up when I pick up the cans. But I would pick up the cans 50.000 X better!
I totally grok you OSD. How about signing up for the postgraduate suppressive course, (PGSC). Instead of doing A-E, it’s F-J. The amends project is blowing up central headquarters, which in this case means torching the Int. Base. You game?
Well I once had them attempt to label me an SP (Super Power, Suppressive Power?) Anyhow once I pointed out all their lies and false promises which never materialized I walked away for good and yet the whole dam group denies any wrongdoing, even went so far as to accuse me for not returning after that whole debacle as being connected to SP and enemy lines. Riiiight, not the fact that they labeled me and have my entire family disconnect and accused me of attempting to overthrow Dear Leader.
They will continue to do well. After all, the favorite motto there is “Keep Portland Weird”, so they fit right in. When I went by that org, on a busy day in the summer with lots of foot traffic, the lonely staff type in the ‘steak house waitstaff’ uniform was afraid to come off the stoop even when I stopped and looked in all the windows. There is more traffic at the gay bar across the street.
Maybe scientology can help me. I may be mildly dyslexic. I could have sworn the name of the campaign was ‘Operation: Planetary Clam’.
Bystander, I’ve seen the same thing, over and over again with the SO girls at the Pasadena Model Idle Morgue. They’re a block away from Colorado Bl (like Main St.) and Raymond St (where the cult is holed up). That intersection has so much foot traffic, they’d have no problems with people to talk with! So, what do they do? They stand just outside the entrance to the cult. And I mean JUST OUTSIDE. It’s seems they’re quite afraid of venturing out further than the front doors.
Well Mike, the thing that closed me was paying $15 to bring my mark, er, selectee in to listen to an LRH lecture, and to boot, getting some group processing in the bargain. How’s that for dissemination?
You da man, Gadfly! Well done getting someone on the road to Total Freedom!
Scientology, the only game where everyone sins.
Several weeks ago I received a call inquiring of my reasons for leaving the church some thirty-five years ago. I had a nice conversation with several of the current members (as my questions were passed on up the chain of command). I told them it was because it was pretty obvious that the organization was pathologically untruthful (the nicest way I could put it.) I was called out on that generalization and asked for specifics. Well to begin with, I told him that their claim to 8 million members with the largest concentration in the hundreds of thousands in the Los Angeles area (his claim) had to be false. If true, I reminded him, they would need to rent out the LA coliseum for their events. I then told him to stop referring to me as a “parishioner” because I wanted nothing to do with their organization and including me as part of the eleven million claimed members was further proof of their lies. Although I was promised that my name would be removed from their mailing and calling lists, I have since received several calls and promotional pieces. Yet they are truly astonished when someone doesn’t believe them.
Hi Skydog, Very good to meet you.As one who was Sea Org in the 70s things did get really strange for me regarding Ethics,Guardians’s Office etc.Now when I read all here and think about by-gone days,what a relief to be out! I do so agree that I could stand outside on a bright sunny day with blue sky and hypothetically talk to any SO staff Coser and if they believed the sky was pink with purple streaks because dm said so and says Ron said so,why then I am the total SP and they are in a power condition.Insanity on display! Always,Ann.
Pleasure to meet you too and thanks to everyone else that responded. To provide a little more information, these church contacts do not appear to be random. At the time of the first call, I had been researching scientology for a paper and was accessing numerous church sponsored websites for reference material. I had just happened to be on church membership when the call came in. The person I spoke with repeatedly asked me about what services I had completed and even provided some helpful hints to help me remember. It was my opinion that this was a shot across the bow trying to either handle my disagreement or for me to confirm that I was the person that made whatever “confidential” admissions for use against me.
They can call me anytime they want. Unfortunately for the church, there is so much negative information about it that it presents even an unskilled cross-examiner a goldmine of opportunities to make them look stupid. For example: Is it true that sea org members must either abort a child or risk transfer to another facility? If they answer yes: What type of church would require a member to make such a choice? If they say no: Then why have the church lawyers told the courts that requiring members to make such choices is constitutionally protected? Or there is always: Are you a religion or a science; or, are you OT VII or above because my next question deals with the co-called confidential levels? 🙂
It takes quite a concerted effort to get yourself removed from the cults mailing list Skydog. I think the quickest way is to inform Julian Schwartz at AOLA that you are reading the internet and intend to communicate with known ess pees such as Mike, Marty, Karen and that you will be doing a video with Chris Shelton.
Hi Newcomer, Loved and followed your post to Skydog! Excellent advice.Love,Ann.
Actually,LRH told people how to get off the mailing list. You write what’s called an entheta letter to the org. Just write a letter that says a bunch of nasty shot about LRH, Tom Cruise, and so forth. When the org gets this letter, they are supposed to pull your CF folder and route it to HCO so that there is no further comm with you.
“pull your CF folder” – assuming they can find it – good luck (smile)
Oh,trust me! In cases like this, they’ll find it! Seen it happen! Gotta filter out all the SPs!
Why should they believe you when they are (1) so unbelievable themselves; so, they are used to lies and (2) you are probably the only person they have talked to in days; you are the most viable candidate they have for “recovery.”
Skydog, use their return postage paid envelopes to send copies of stories from Mike’s blog or other such stuff (I used Lisa McPherson autopsy photos when I did it).
I got them to stop calling when I told them that every time they called, I donated money to an anti-scientology campaign. I was personally told by Larry Jacobs that I was blacklisted because “it was obvious I read the Internet”.
Blessed silence and not a single mailing since that call.
“It was obvious I read the internet.” No shit Sherlock! Along with several billion people.
“Blessed silence” – laughter!
How arrogant, self-absorbed and moronic do you have to be to call out someone you want to come back to you on anything.
How arrogant, self-adsorbed & moronic do you have to be? Must be a scientologist….
Delusions, megalomania… This, quite simply, is Scientology EP.
Want some of it? Call your local reg!
For some reason the Knights Who Say Ni segment of Monty Python And The Holy Grail comes to mind. Does one dare to sat IT to them?
Hey Scientologists! Ni, ni ni ni, ni ni! Oh, and NI NI NI NI! Ha ha! You don’t know what I’m talking about!
II heard that the TWH was written by Mary Sue and it is just a version of and an expansion of the ten commandments.
Dio
No. She was not in touch with him at all by that time. He was in hiding and she was a convicted felon he wanted nothing to do with.
Through sickness and health, through good times and bad – never mind.
Yep…that El Ron was one classy guy. Especially when it came to his son Quintin’s death……
My understanding is that LRH ordered TWTH to be written and assigned Jim Dincalci to the task. LRH approved it of course, but a very reliable source remembers Jim Din working on the project and sending it to the Old Man for approval. Either way, I’m glad they are telling the world to brush their teeth! I get very happy when I brush mine and no doubt have a floating TA every time I do it.
No, Jim was long gone by then. Jim was around for the Purif…
Wait just a doggone minute here! I’m confused! If Hubbard said we should brush our teeth….why were his lower teeth rotting out of his mouth?
Too much meth …………. needs to redo his purif!
Mary Sue became a convicted felon because she did what Elwrong told her to do.
Thou shalt love the Lord Ron, with all thy heart and soul.
But no keeping the sabbath in Scientology!
Sabbath? We don’t need no fucking Sabbath here!
What kind of bath is a Sab-bath? And can I get bath salts with mine? I hear they do some crazy things to your head…
Sabbath is an implant.
And implants are Sabbaths. The ‘ying & yang’ of life.
Thou shalt love the Lord Ron, with all thy money and gold!
Yep, you got the message. Wanna write a success story?
I wanna write a Success Story! I spent every single penny I had to reach, heretofore unknown levels of awareness. I was just blown away! The downside is, I’m now living under an underpass next to the 405 Freeway. However, with my new powers, my panhandling is much, much better than when I was a Wog! One day, though, I’ll be back! But, right now, I have to forage for ripe berries…
Good luck with that. Keep using the tech to free the other derelicts. ?
I’m making it my life’s work…
Gee, just mock up some dead rats and be done with it…
Emptying wallets, greatestest monumental OT super-duper (more like duped) power evers!
I mocked up some rats, but, I forgot the dead part. But, that’s ok as they’re my pets now. And….(ouch! stop biting me)
I love how they start off with the how the OCA is the best way to get new sign ups not that they believe it but because LRH says it so it must be true! How do we know they don’t believe it because they go on to tell us these other ways to get people to sign up. If the OCA is “truly the most successful thing” then why not just focus on that?? Because as anyone who has ever had the displeasure of trying to get people to do the OCA or the physical danger of EVALUATING someone’s CASE knows it’s not effective at all and tends to create a lot of enemies. But maybe that’s by design. You know if you can’t win them over turn them into screaming maniacs when Scientology is mentioned. I’ve seen it more then once and all they had was the pretty girl OCA bait and switch with no other exposure to Scientology.
Now FREE LIVE group processing that’s probably a much better system and that came from Australia while being the most honest of the three.Oh, and it was dreamed up by Hubbard. But all of those things are probably why it’s frowned on. You gotta love how they think people who think they are volunteering to help in real world emergencies, to get drugs off the street, make the world a better place, etc. Would want anything to do with taking Scientology’s blue pills on a sliding price scale.
Back to the OCA as a dissemination tool, I used to think it was squirrel tech and it always bother me because: 1. It evaluates someone’s case and usually poorly.2. It gives them a bunch of misunderstood words. 3. It violates the dissemination cycle of have the selectee realize his ruin and get him to tell it to you. Aka, like a cognition but instead we just ruin that for him by telling him a poor guess at his ruin. 4. There is no win for the selectee of maybe I can be helped. In short it is the epitome of so called black scientology and why would you want to run that on raw public??
Find a ruin is look fot fixed attention ..
Excellent analysis, Friend. I’m thinking of Paul Haggis in Going Clear. He had fixed attention on his second dynamic relationship. My fixed attention was needing some intellectual stimulation. I got a LOT more than I needed – lol
