Mike, this is off topic, but not sure where I should ask this question.
Except for the attorneys on staff, who among the senior executives of Scientology actually has a college education? And in what discipline would they have earned their degree?
I pledge allegiance to the Flag Land Base of the United Orgs of Miscavige, and to RTC which he commands, one tyrant, indivisible, with regging and trophies for all.
Drove to Clearwater last night to look for real estate for the “History of Religion” museum. The Christian Church was feeding the poor behind the Fort Harrison and I saw at least 300 homeless and near homeless. In three hours I did not see one Scientologist. The Sandcastle was isolated. There were homeless in the downtown area which I had never seen before. The street near Osceola was blocked and there was music from the local bars and pizza stands. Not one Scientologist walking; not one public. This is the international HQ for Scientology? The Fort Harrison will soon be in need of painting. Not a good place to buy real estate. The homeless do not buy anything.
This may seem somewhat weak compared to your reason. But people who need help but lack funds, are of no interest to The Scam because there is nothing that can be cheated away from them.
I was there again about a year ago, went to the old SBux, walked around a little. There were drones coming on and off the busses but no one else walking around at. Didn’t see any public and almost zero wogs anywhere downtown. The whole area was dead as fried chicken.
The only mild excitement was walking the block around the SP building and getting followed by security dorks 🙂
Not ised,, is ised, what ised? $cientology needs 1984’s minute of hate, or a bell like the Soviets used so everyone could stop applauding Stalin. Being political correct in $cienoville isn’t easy. Isn’t it?
Reading today’s column reminded me of the time I was doing OT Preps and Eligibility at Flag and cognited I’d not-ised a PTS condition due to an unflat Int. Rundown over an ARCx of long duration on a repair of a repair cycle. After L&Ning “Who or what has put CI on your lines?” and coming up with the right item with an LFBD, VVVGIs flooded in and I exteriored with a floating TA and persistent F/N.
Heh, Come to the Fraud Scam Base and check into the Fort Homicide.
Lisa McPherson stayed in Room 174. She’s dead. Negligent homicide by David Miscavige. Google the medical examiner, Joan Wood. She’s dead too.

“Damn, I meant to say exteriorized. I’d like to thank Ron for the tech and Dave for interpreting it. Hip, hip, I paid!”
… and paid and paid and paid.
There is never any end to the paying. Even if they have the crazy idea that all the money you have paid in the past was not real money and so you need to pay it all (and more) again.
What a crazy price gouging arrangement. It’s as if you fill up your car’s tank and the gas station sends you a demand saying, “Sorry. The gas we sold you was not real gas and so you must pay us the same amount again plus a 20 percent service charge – just because we think you might be foolish enough to go along with this.
And ten minutes later you were back in session because no one was auditing you! Just another moment in the life of a humanoid in the land of the friendliest cult in the world.
That sounds very good, as long as the PTS wasn’t David Miscavige. In that case you better have a few tens of millions in liquid assets to make things go right.
Meanwhile, great comic! Cult members can only communicate online through upbeat emojis, virtual cheers of acclamation, approved Hubbard quotes, thumbs up selfies, and the occasional gleeful howl.

None that I am aware of.

But they “Know how to Know” and that’s the key thing… In a high control environment, where reality is whatever the supreme leader declares.

Good intel, George.
Skyler says
Do you have any idea why you are seeing homeless people there for the first time?
George M. White says
First, they are being fed by the Christian Church. Any other ideas?

All that time, money, and effort to get super powers, and then some nitwit Not-Ises them away with fart jokes. Remind me what the point is?

I was invited to Flag, but I scheduled a root canal instead. It felt like a less painful option.
