In the face of the most intense media coverage in its history, scientology is strangely incapable of stepping up and saying anything.
There is no spokesperson who even TRIES to answer questions or present the church’s “good works” to the media. Instead, they send creepy letters from their lawyers and Misavige’s nom de plume Karin Pouw, put together “attack videos” and threatening emails and tweets. And all of this outpouring ONLY consists exclusively of ad hominem attacks on the film makers, interviewees and now reporters who are covering the documentary. Everyone is a liar. Everyone is a bigot. A hater. Has an axe to grind. And unsurprisingly, all their mothers wear army boots.
So, if all these lies are being told about them and their army of lawyers is sending out legal threat letters like confetti, why don’t they sue for defamation? They have plenty of money? Plenty of lawyers? And plenty of whining about all the lies that are being told?
They are not like me or Tom DeVocht or Spanky or Hana Whitfield — we don’t have the resources to pay lawyers to sue for defamation when there is no economic damage and when the church will drag it out for years and years (see Rathbun case and every other scientology litigation in history). But the church doesn’t have those constraints. So, why no lawsuits?
The answer is threefold: 1. Truth is a really good defense to a defamation claim, 2. You have to have a reputation to damage and 3. Miscavige fears going into deposition.
So, their smear tactics are no surprise. They cannot respond to truth — if they really were lies they would be able to prove them so. And so they are left with only one course of action — admitting things wrong and vowing to address the problems. Admitting anything is just not in Miscavige’s repertoire. Thus the only solution is attempting to undermine the credibility of the people speaking that truth and hoping that people will then conclude that their statements are lies . And they just keep hammering away on this no matter how shrill and whining they are or how bad it makes them look. Or more importantly, how much it PROVES that what is being said is true.
This response is of course is pursuant to the scientology playbook: anyone who criticizes them is a “suppressive person” seeking to “destroy man’s only hope.” Such people should be eradicated at all costs, no rules apply. The end of protecting scientology justifies any means employed to get there. Lies. Threats. Intimidation. All perfectly justified.
Miscavige, the man who runs everything in scientology (“Mr. Miscavige is scientology” according to a sworn declaration by one of his lieutenants) is terrified of the media. He is the guy who professes to be the one who can explain scientology and deal with “entheta” whereas in his estimation all his underlings are incompetent fools that he will not let near the media. He does not trust any of them to speak on behalf of the church (in fact, in his mind, this means speaking on behalf of him). Karin Pouw may or may not still be on post, or even alive, it doesn’t really matter. She is not seen in public and does not speak to anyone because she can’t. She cannot very well sit on Miscavige’s knee and move her jaw up and down while he talks behind her. But he can write letters and emails and sign her name to them and they can be sent out and nobody is the wiser (except to those who recognize his assertive style and telltale choice of words).
Alex Gibney asked to interview Miscavige for his film. He refused. He has not appeared in the media since the early 90’s.
Miscavige’s second in command, and the “best scientologist he knows” was also asked by Alex Gibney for an interview. Cruise also declined.
Similarly a list of other people who are identified at the end of the movie.
But now Miscavige whines from the weeds with last minute emails to the media bitching about them interviewing anyone associated with the film claiming it’s “one-sided.”
Here is some simple logic: If someone asks you to appear in a film they are making and you refuse, and you have everyone associated with you refuse, you don’t really have a right to complain about it being “one-sided” after the fact by claiming they “refused to get your side of the story.”
And when that same scenario continues and rather than responding to the media reporting on the film, you also refuse and send threats demanding they “not proceed” — you have zero credibility.
What happened to the masters of communication and the shatterers of suppression?
They don’t have faith in their tech? Or their ability to deal with negative information? Or to present a positive side of scientology?
Why not?
A favorite Hubbard aphorism that Miscavige loved to quote is “Liars are cowards and cowards are liars.”
Scientology and Miscavige are cowards and liars. And as every day goes by, they cement their status.
I would be happy to have a discussion with Miscavige on air. Call it a debate. Or with any official representative the church wants to put forth.
I am quite confident that Alex Gibney and Lawrence Wright would do the same.
And I think the people that appeared in the film would probably be willing to do so too.
Why is scientology hiding?
The answer is of course very simple.
They’re scared.
Reading $camology’s response to Going Clear was to, put it mildly, almost a sleep inducing rant of the same old tired crap (just restructured and reworded) they spout whenever they feel like they’re being “persecuted for their beliefs”. Demented Microperson is a tightly wound spring of violence and hatred and that is why he won’t appear on camera or in a court because he is his own worst enema…sorry, enemy. He will hide behind Pouw and continue to be arse kissed by the sycophants and robots.
I’m not holding my breath about the Gibney documentary showing up any time soon here in Australia and will not pay Rupert Murdoch to watch it if it shows up on Foxtel. Guess I’ll just have to wait for the DVD.
Go Mike! “
Thanks Colby
The success of “Going Clear” will, in the end, be down to the people speaking up. So, thanks (once again) to everyone who ever spoke up about the abuses committed by the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology.
Ditto that.
That picture with the Article, is that an example of a “clear”?
Very true.
Maybe when DM does his own docudrama he could start by interviewing his lovely wife. Or maybe he could interview the spokesperson for the sciobots. Or maybe he could interview some of the many students demanding services in such large numbers they are turning them away at the door because the rooms can not hold any more. OR maybe he can bite the bullet and step down and let someone else dismantle what is left of the organization. Or maybe he can be indited for crimes against humanity…. either one works for me.
Mike, spot-on analysis as usual….Davey the faux medal-festooned Liliputian is scared stiff of the media, and is hiding behind his luxurious office walls, thinking that will protect him….what an idiot.
It would be interesting if someone could park one of those mobile big screen trucks across the street from orgs and play excerpts from Going Clear….the looks on the CO$ sheeple would be priceless….
A new dream: to see cob face you with the cameras rolling.
Mike, I can’t thank you and the other people involved in this film enough. We are all so very, very excited here!
Scientology’s current “hiding” PR incarnation reminds me of what Apple Computer was like during the “no Steve Jobs” tan box period. Literally nothing done was in any way competent. Way to drive it into the ground, Crazy Davey!
According to LRH, criminals want to be found out; they leave clues at crime scenes, etc. In the case of Scientology/DM, the documents that fueled Going Clear (the book) were provided to Lawrence Wright by Tommy Davis acting in his official capacity as church spokesperson. The think on Scientology/DM’s part was likely that the documents they provided would dead agent the SPs in the field. Naturally, the documents acted more as a springboard than a deterrent. The arrogance of DM is second to none.
I cannot wait until tomorrow night!!!! I will chain my sweet husband of 31 years to the sofa so he can see what I have been rambling about for the last six or seven years. I have my fingers crossed that many never-ins like me will watch and wake up to the fact that $cientology is not some benign church. Gibney is brilliant. Reel viewers in with Tom C, but not until they hear about the horrors first. Mike your post is brilliant and your journey out of the cult gives hope to families who have loved ones caught up in the abuse of the various predatory groups around the world! Cheers to you and your family!
Hi Mike,What you just posted has been happening to me all day.Long lost family members, friends from way back have been emailing me out of the blue telling me they will be watching HBO on 3/29/15.I agree that dm has mucho $ to burn & I would never turn my back to him, but an out ethics being is what it is.What goes around will come around for all in the cos, so & goi who abused & hurt others,in body,mind,& spirit.ff Ann Watson.
Lawrence Write, Gibney, have been sec checking the Church. And, writing K.R.’s. The tables have turned and the Church is violently reacting to being sec checked and K.R.ed. Meanwhile forcing the most dedicated members to arrive every six months at their own expense to get sec checked. It has become a comedy.
She can sit on his lap and move her lips.

The C of S is so toast after Sunday night.
Buh bye DM, COB, Asshole, C of S, LRH BS Cult.
These federal agencies and private groups will be watching HBO Going Clear because they (like us UTRs, Indies, X’s) have a vested interest in the cherch or curiosity in the cherch.
IRS 90,000
FBI 35,000
Law Enforcement Agencies 14,000 with 780,000 employees (I called the State and local police at least 10 times for cherch trespassing and harassment)
Reporters and News correspondents 57,000
All Federal employees 5,000,000
Judeo-Christian Groups 1.5 zillion
Spiritual Help, Self Help and Mental Health groups 1,5 zillion
It’s not that HBO is so big in terms of coverage. It is that Scientology’s audience of abused, crushed and lied to audience is so gigantic. The Church if Scientology lies sooooo much for so loooong that many,many people will go out of their way to watch HBO to find out the truth.
Robert,
You forgot the 7 billion that David Miscavige personally stirred up
(spending millions) to watch HBO “Going Clear”
https://www.breitbartunmasked.com/2015/03/25/rush-limbaughs-fixer-uses-his-900hour-pr-firm-to-smear-activists/ Rush Limbaugh’s attorney using Scientology’s slime tactics. Whoopi Goldberg and Michel Vick are ‘involved in Scientology”.
“Admitting anything is just not in Miscavige’s repertoire….”
It’s been years, but I seem to recall ‘that’ (not admitting anything…) is Scientology 101 per Mr. Hubbard. Always attack, never defend (where defending implies admitting).
Other than that, great article.
Right — except Hubbard was not averse to making PR gestures. See the cancellation of Fair Game. And the “Reform Code” of 1968. The letter to the NZ Govt concerning disconnection.
I believe the biggest impact of Going Clear is going to be the flight of the “whales”. I live in Clearwater among many of them (actually, among their empty, “Flag” vacation homes). I would guess that the same traits that make them responsive to flattery, medals and status in Scientology – while also seeking credibility in the real business world – will cause them to flee from the embarrassment that association with Scientology will have after this HBO film.
The decline in members hasn’t mattered, as long as the whales keep giving. Blinded by the $$$, Scientology has made the mistake that many (former) fundraising organizations make – focusing on fewer donors with larger gifts, while the base support disappears. The whales go, it’s over.
Great point. What Scientology cannot control is all the people connected to scientologists who will see the film and ask them about it.
More than just the whales will go. But how many will leave?
5%
10%
15%
Who knows. Guess we’ll get an idea over the next 2-3 months.
The next question is, will the number of Scientologists drop low enough to force restructuring, like for example the closure of some of the open Idle Morgues, or the take over of more of them by Sea Org staffers.
It will be interesting.
The whales don’t have to leave to hurt the Church, they just have to donate less. Donations to the IAS are the main measure. If that drops significantly in 2015 then the Church is doomed.
Yes, and always I like when new defectors with recent Flag Gross Income statistics reveal the truth of the GI stats, for Flag, for the other “sectors” that Scientology is divided up into, like Narconon’s GI, WISE’s GI, Bridge/NEPI’s GI, the Sea Org orgs’ GI, Freewinds’ GI, etc.
Wish we had some Finance people defect with the stats, or some middle management level people who see the weekly “sectors” stats GI (gross income) breakdowns, and who hear of the income analyses they do, if they still do them.
Scientology’s bigger longer range burden is they never deliver on their promise of making people into OTs.
Scientology’s real runway/Bridge is the length of time until a person realizes they’ve been had.
the bridge to total bankruptcy. I used to have misgivings that scientology did not live up to its promise or potential. I have come to realize that it was a false scene. The only real promise or potential is what each person who supported scientology for those reasons can yet achieve by taking their energies and dreams and put them to good and proper use in their lives. Scientology was a false hope, a false prophet. But most of the members had their heart in the right place. Live and learn. Hopefully.
I think Miscavige can`t speak out of the bubble…….he is to nervous this days
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Wv0QYjyAQ
I see a lot of comments with people speculating about Miscavige being scared and worried about the end of Scientology, but I disagree. I don’t think he is afraid, I think he’s had various exit plans (more than one) in place for quite some time now, and is not the least bit afraid of it ending.
He’s got control over everything, by his own design. He will remain in control of how it plays out. He knows that will take time and there are billions at stake, and he has already amassed a personal fortune of over 50 million, which is the public number, (Google his net worth if you don’t believe it). I am sure it’s actually quite a bit higher – remember, he was transporting bags of cash to L.Ron way back in the early 1980’s, and it’s reported in published books that he has cash and gold buillion stashed away, and probably has a vast network of ways he is steadily able to get his hands on cash, most likely involving real estate transactions, hence, the need for the ‘ideal orgs’.
Miscavige has had 35 years to amass and store away millions, it’s unlikely he will end up flipping burgers at McDonalds. More likely he will be flying his private planes between various French chateaus, Swiss chalets, apartment in Singapore or perhaps Dubai, and will live out the rest of his life among the other extremely wealthy telling stories of when he was running the Church of Scientology.
I also don’t believe he cares about the continuance of Scientology, otherwise he wouldn’t be pushing so hard for the past several years to get as much money from Scn members; he knows this pressure drives them away, but he doesn’t care, as long as he can get as much money as possible out of them before they leave. Remember, Mike R. said “he’s not a Scientologist”. He doesn’t practice Scientology. All Miscavige has ever cared about is power and money. He doesn’t have a family than he cares about, only a few high powered friends, most notably, Tom Cruise. I don’t believe (from the things I have read) that he even had loving feelings towards his wife, who he easily discarded, or his own family. He never wanted children. He actually has a lot of traits of a sociopath. I’m not the one to practice “arm-chair psychology” but if you actually look at his behavior, it’s a conclusion easily made.
So, anyone who is rejoicing over his fear of his reign ending, I’d say, not so fast – he won’t be deposed as leader by anyone, and he will gradually give over responsibilities in his own time, but not the secret channels of money, or any real power, probably just in name, so his predecesor can be liable, making sure his exit plans are firmly in place. Of course, by the time he does extricate himself totally, there won’t be much of a “church” or movement left anyway.
T.J. ,
You are as dilusional as Miscavige.
While entirely plausible, would the calm schemer you describe have ordered the backlash against “Going Clear?”
Or is Captain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige too unhinged to do the sensible thing?
Omg ,love today’s post. It’s been bothering me that no one insists on Scientology actually showing a face to their statements. Especially when it’s mostly cut and paste. The media should refuse to add any comment unless it’s in person or on phone.
Re: “Admitting anything is just not in Miscavige’s repertoire.”
A Suppressive Person or antisocial personality can never be wrong. Wikipedia states that Scientology Inc’s website describes Adolf Hitler as an SP. Gee, someday Wikipedia will be able to add David Miscavige (Four Feet Thirteen) to that list of notable historic figures who have worked for the devil. Do you think Scientology Inc’s website will ever do that?
When I visit the corner of Vermont and Sunset and engage in the practice of “Body Routing Not,” I’m actually “Keeping Scientology Working,” in an off-hand sort of way, by applying points 7, 8, 9 and 10:
7. Hammering out of existence incorrect technology.
8. Knocking out incorrect applications.
9. Closing the door on any possibility of incorrect technology.
10. Closing the door on incorrect application.
Besides, anything we can do to fight back lessens the suppression.
May I please remove “in an off-hand sort of way” from my last comment? Thank you.
The Media has been intense for Going Clear.
For our HBO”Going Clear” party we will have Pizza,chips/dips and goodies.
“And unsurprisingly, all their mothers wear army boots.” That really made me laugh.
Me too 🙂
Oh, by the way John T, Tom C and all you OSA bots monitoring this blog. Over at Tony’s blog is copy of Tweet that reflects real class:

March 29th on @HBO #GoingClear
Perfectly said, Mike, thank you! Many of us have been making the above points, over and over, for years, however it sure is great to have their previous spokesperson now make these points! Thankfully Mike is out and he sure did not lose his ability to write and speak.
They have had up lies about many of us, and then say: “Well, sue us”. Thank you for describing what *really* goes down on that. Hubbard himself said: “Get them in court, keep them in court, bankrupt them”. Also, many of us have been thrilled at their responses to this documentary as they themselves have proven it must to true! If it were not, why would ~anyone~ create SO much drama about it?
As Alex Gibney said himself: “I did not think they (Scientology) would spend $250,000 promoting my documentary”. Way to go, “dave”!! To Mike and all who read this, especially to each person who stands UP and speaks out: I thank you! Tory/Magoo (“in” for 30 years, OT 7, Class 5, ex-Sea Org (briefly), Ex-Staff, Ex-OSA volunteer, etc. Been there, done *that* and happily out and free to talk with whomever I want, any time and do whatever I want).
Mike: Please change the signature to, or add: Tory/Magoo: “in” for 30 years, ex-Sea Org (briefly), ex-Staff (NSO), Ex-OT 7, Ex-Grad 5 auditor, ex-OSA volunteer, woke up and escaped out in July of 2000, nearly 15 years ago, and I have been happily speaking out (despite $cientology’s fair game) ever since. 🙂 Tick Tock!
$cientology runs on statistics, so here is the format for:
David Miscavige Thursday Stats
Number of people physically assulted
Number of temper tantrums and angry outbusrsts
Number of insults directed at staff and others
Number of curse words spoken
Number of staff sent to the RPF and/or blamed for the failure of schemes developed by Miscavige
Number of letters written under the pen name of Karen Pouw
Number of lies told (this one truly shows 47X expansion!)
Number of cigarettes smoked
Quantity of scotch and other hard liquor consumed
Number of $ stolen from the few remaining true-believers
Number of meetings with attorneys
Number of $ paid to attorneys
Numbr of legal threats made in an attempt to intimidate people
Number of $ paid to Private Investogators to harass critics
Number of members who have gone UTR or quit
I would just like to point out that, if HBO treats “Going Clear” as it does all it’s movies, it will be shown on several of their channels for weeks. Plus, it will be available on “HBO On Demand” for possibly months.
Isn’t that a lovely thought?
Here is a link; click the button on the lower right to get the current schedule of showings, across HBO platforms, through the month of April.

Even the most conservative publications are remarking on the church’s inappropriate responses to the film. Many reviewers are puzzled as to why the church can’t see the obvious: the ad hominem attacks and lack of substantive answers to questions asked prove the film is truthful. While all this may be obvious to ex-members and the never-ins, like me, who have been appalled at Miscavige’s sociopathic abuses, it has not been obvious to the majority of the media. Most journalists for the past 20-30 years have been told to stay away from the church in order to avoid lawsuits. There is an incredible sea change happening. All bets are off on what will happen after tomorrow evening. I think that this time next year, Miscavige will either be on a permanent out of country tour, or answering questions under oath before a federal grand jury.
Federal Grand Jury
If Scientology had simply taken the high road starting back in 2009 I doubt the HBO documentary would have ever seen the light of day. But they can’t take the high road because the first action every Scientologist takes in making any decision on any course of action is, “What would Ron do ?”. And therein lays the problem.
🙂
Oh… the ever so delicious thought of ‘miscavige in deposition’ – his very own prison of disbelief before the prison of steel and concrete. I’d pay good money to be in room but I would imagine there’d be a waiting list a mile long for that privilege. I’d reckon a film of it would make a lot of money.
Oh, yes, a film of Captain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige in deposition. I’d pay my own money to see that.
This is from an earlier one. http://alley.ethercat.com/wackycultnews/buggermiscavige.txt . Guess who’s speaking…
“(*): Just so we have a record here and I don’t care to engage in argument and I’d like the record to reflect that we’ve probably both been quite cordial with each other. But in reference to that, as Mr. Ward states, he has no idea what I’m referring to, the reason I was lead to believe that he would know about this is because Mr. Ward – I have seen postings from him, describing the various sexual acts that he has me engaged with various male members of the Scientology religion[sic], attorneys and so forth. And again, I won’t state here what that is, but he has already been ruled to be disgusting by the judge.”
So much for “First Policy: Maintain friendly relations with the environment and the public.”
Miscavige couldn’t have done a better job of trashing that one to death.
I remember an interview John Travolta did with Oprah quite a few years ago. He was so calm, poised, sincere. No hype, no con, just the truth as he saw it. It came across as genuine and he came across as very likable.
I wonder if he has any idea of how well he’d be received by his public if he were to do the same genuine type of communication with what he knows now? I wonder if he has any idea of how liberating it would be for him to confront what he’s become a part of and speak openly about it?
Could Cruise ever do that? He’s backed himself into a corner with his over-the-top evangelical fervor and embarrassing adoration for Everything Dave. How do you confront telling the truth about all that? Maybe a real mission impossible.
It’s so pleasurable to watch your interviews, Mike. The truth really does set one free. And you communicate it in such an easily assimilable fashion.
Thanks a lot
Les
“What happened to the masters of communication and the shatterers of suppression?” Nothing happened. They (I) never were (was). Communications was always fractured and had little to do with real life, and the only things that were shattered were thousands of individual lives. Tomorrow night HBO continues ringing Scientology’s death knell. Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Communications were
I second what Les said, Mike, on what a pleasure it is to watch your interviews. You do a good job in such a controlled and minimal amount of time to answer. And yes, thanks a lot.
Mike, excellent points on the reality and psychology of the situation. The cult is caught between a rock and a hard spot–their prescribed Hubbard-ology and their historical and outdated (socially, legally, and politically unacceptable organizational behaviors). They simply cannot escape their past. In fact, Hubbard provided no organizational escape. So much for his so-called brilliance and futuristic, forward thinking.
Maybe Davey is too busy opening ideal orgs? Or finding Tom Cruise his 4th wife? Or replacing the squirrel busters who left with new ones?
Dave’s now working full time on his Ideal Scotch stockpile to pacify his boiling blood pressure.
I’ll bet His Touretts Syndrome is acting up too.
Hey! Maybe Tom has had an epiphany, jgg2012.
Maybe he finally realized how his life went to shit after he became BFF with David Miscavige. I read TC is selling his estate in LA.
No doubt His Ecclesiasticalness will want to buy it so He can lick the floors.
Lying is basically a way not to be harmed .. a creation of reality which protects you in some way .. you have to be a good liar for doing that .. but it is surely done often enough ..
You should not lie for your own benefit .. anybody can lie as he wants ..
My son was not raised in Scientology. I was out by the time he was old enough to talk. He is an investment advisor in “The Big City” now. Although he is aware his big sister was born and christened into Scientology, (she did not continue in it either) we have never discussed Scientology, it’s a no-interest item.
Yesterday, my husband and I were in The Big City because my sister in law is starting chemo and my husband had a medical procedure done. While we were sitting around in hospital rooms I said to my son “do you have HBO?”
He said “you mean that Scientology movie? Yeah, a whole group of us are going to watch it together. It’s gotta be good if Scientology is trying so hard to stop it, what’s up with that anyway?”
Scientology’s attack videos are so much better advertising than Alex Gibney could have paid for. People who would have otherwise not even bothered to turn their TVs on on Sunday are now hosting parties simply to view that documentary thanks to Scientology’s efforts. I do hope the OSA people assigned to read this blog can dutifully report back to David Miscavige that this is the case.
Regraded Being, here’s your next cartoon as Valerie just stated.
I can see it now. Dave with his pompadour showing and the OSA reps: “Sir, it appears everyone wants to know about scientology and there are sports bars and convention halls as well as household Going Clear parties. It’s like Super Bowl Sunday!”
+1000
And, as you and I know, Mike, this is only the beginning. Another giant shit storm is just over the horizon.
Jig Jig Jig 🙂
We warned you Dave.
You thought this “bigoted group of fringey apostates” was nothing to worry about. You savored being able to say that we were “just a bunch of losers in our Mothers basements”. It must be hard to swallow how wrong you were.
You have no idea what, or who, you’re up against. The hits won’t stop with Going Clear.
Tick Tock Tiny Tyrant. Just a little over 24 hrs to go.
Little cob is getting the medieval treatment. 🙂
Another amazing article Mike. This one was a blow to the gut of the RCS. You can’t argue with what you said here. The truth is lying on the table now. The cobb has been called out and the whole world knows it. It really sucks to be cobby boy. Time to go into hiding now cobby boy.
Soon instead of serving rice and beans to his minions, they’ll only be getting the corn from his cob.
I cant say nothing. im stunnded!
Give Davey The Golden Shovel Award, already. The hole he has dug himself into is going to be hard to get out of…
I love it …………”Dig Dave, DIG!”
Johnny: I think that should be the rusty shovel award – you know the one I left out in the rain 50% covered in rust and made heavy by the lumps of congealed concrete that dried on.
“I don’t think you can dig your way off a planet, can you?”
Obviously Going Clear is a big event. It is being done on the big stage by people who make movies, people who know the world of entertainment, the in’s and out’s of that business. This is not a B movie. Cruise, Travolta and Kirstie should be very worried cuz I think they know full well where this is going and it ain’t gonna look good in their future film/tv endeavors. I’m sure all three of them could not work another day and live a comfortable life but I don’t think their egos will let that happen. They now are mired in a huge PTP,
and it will interesting to see which “hose” will turn off…..Scn or their careers.
Listen sheeple to a story you can watch on HBO
’bout a kingdom up near Hemet and the people down below
At the Int Base was a treasure buried deep beneath Dave’s throne
With slaves who chose to live in blindness so they wouldn’t have to know
Go ahead and smear your critics
Attack them, never once defend
Do it in the name of fair game
You can justify it in the end
There won’t be anybody listening
Once this story plays
On the fateful morning after
Tiny tyrant rides away
Very appropriate, Michael. Great job!
Thanks Rita.
Michael Mallen’s “Listen sheeple to a story you can watch on HBO…”
Why, oh %#$@&%* why doesn’t this awesome blog have “Like” buttons for the likes of Mr. Mallen’s “Sheeple” tale?!
I’ll take that as a like Miss Jenny.
” Why is scientology hiding?
The answer is of course very simple.
They’re scared.”
Yo Dave,
Howz your day workin out good buddy. No better beginning than being called out by a flaming fringe dweller like Mr. Rinder. Yes Dave, I said Mr. Rinder. Why, because he has earned it ……………DAVE. You have only assumed whatever status you imagine yourself to have. Problem with imagination……DAVE, is that it only exists inside that plaster cup you have cleverly disguised as a head and which Mr. Rinder got a photo op of for todays blog.
So Dave, the reality of the situation is that you have masterfully created one of the fanciest Prisons of Belief the world has seen for a long time. And there is not one damn thing you can do to fix it. No amount of money, no quantity of lawyers, nothing ……..DAVE ……..can be done to change your predicament.
You are a coward. Examples abound. If not, conduct an interview with Mr. Rinder and see how many people ‘listen to you’.
You are a liar. Tell the world that you and your cult do not enforce disconnection. Bring Haley Kessel with you to the interview and have her tell the world that you and your MAASs had nothing to do with her decision to disconnect from her Dad, Mom, Grandmother, Aunt, etc. etc. I’ll be there to listen, Dave, to what you have to say. Her birthday is on the 31st of March, Dave, and rumor has it she is now married (again) to a Russian fellow but we of course do not know if that is true,what her taken name is nor have we even met her husband, Dave. So please, tell the world how wonderful your sleazy little Cult is Dave. And by the way Dave, we are all available for media interviews and here is something to put in your pea brain.
Haleys Grandmother will be 94 in June. She is doing very well and I expect is out in her garden this morning doing some shoveling and planting. She is very active, was one of the first 70 women in the country to join the Waves in WW II and her friend Jack Warnack is 100 years old and still goes to work every day in the family business. Jack was also recently acknowledged because he is also president of the Twain Harte Rotary Club and is the first Rotarian to be president of a Rotary Club at the age of 100. These are real people DAVE, with real values and are willing to stand up and say what is true about what they have observed. This is the kind of real life that is not made up Dave, like you and your shit for brains idol cannot seem to fathom.
You think this stuff is BS Dave? Have your slave who heads up the CST compound in Tuolumne, yes, have Jane McNarin check it out. Don’t worry DAVE, if you want to have Jane inject some poisonous tidbits about me or my family into the community, I welcome it. Go ahead, DAVE, talk some of your truth to us out here on the fringes you bag of hammered dog poo. Sorry, should be Davepoo, no need to denigrate well intentioned dogs.
I digress. Watch the HBO documentary Dave and then see about how you can escape YOUR Prison of Belief! Like Mr. Rinder outlined for you Dave, there is only one way out and you can’t walk it. SCARED DAVE?
Coop,
Not bad for a Newcomer. Are you sure that you are not holding anything back? Anything suppressed?
Poor Tiny Fists must be crapping in his kids sized pants. The beginning of the end of Scientology is afoot and I can smell his fear from Western Australia. Well done mate. I just told Marc Headley he was a champion and I’ll say it again to you “bloody champion, go you good thing” I’ll admit to being very critical of you once, but I’ve come round. You must be super busy at the moment but I hope you find 10 minutes to have a cold one and watch Australia win the world cup tomorrow. Cheers
I’ll have my eye on the World Cup for sure. NZ/SA was an all time classic. Hope this one isnt so close…
Clarkeys last ODI, he’s retiring from the one day format at the end of this game. Off topic but Martin Crowe 52, NZ’s ex-captain is in a critical condition with a blood disorder, it’s the last World Cup he’ll ever see, how sad!
But Aussie to win.
The lack of ‘confront’ is so telling. All that $cientology has left is playing ostrich and laughable attacks on the film makers and people in it. The clampire is left between that proverbial rock and a hard place. Watching what happens next is going to be so much fun.
Well said Mike. You nailed the head right down and flush.
On the other hand the leader is as inside the bubble as his parishioners are and has been for many years. He may go scuba diving, flight in Tom C’s private plane, visit international restaurants but, in fact, he has never had a life lived on his own.
He decided to assume full Power and Control and he did achieve it, but always inside a very narrow world ‘scientology, its staffs, and parishioners.’ He has used LRH’s “tech” to continue the mind control. But again, in the very narrow world of scientology that only keeps shrinking. His parishioners can not see what is going on, nor DM can see life outside the bubble.
In the past, and only inside the bubble, he shouted, screamed, abused and, unfortunately, every body obeyed. But this sociopath behavior does not work in the outside world, one that he does not really know.
That is why, the more he uses the ‘attack the enemy means’, the worse is getting for him and the church as it only reflects what the film clearly exposes.
Too late to handle it now and making it worse with the childish tantrum attempts to ‘scare’ the media. In other words, a no wining proposition.
Well, tomorrow is the BIG DAY and the BIG BEINGS will open their mouths and out will come their LARGE FART, known as the standard reBUTTal! Or as Macbeth stated,” Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING.”
Macbeth (Act V, Scene V
I watched “Birdman” just a few days ago (recommended) – that excellent quote found a use there, as well.
If I were involved on Sci’s side of this fiasco, I’d focus on keeping the sheeple that I already have safely in the fold. There’s a reason they call it a “24 hour” news cycle. Another story will be along soon and Going Clear will be yesterday’s news by Tuesday (until the inevitable Oscar nom that will stir this all up again.) Set realistic goals: maintain 90 percent of current membership. And stop these pointless attack videos — they are feeding the fire, giving the media a fresh story, convincing no one.
It can be stated with confidence that Scientology has always evaded the truth.
The Sea Org itself was founded in order to hide Ron from the truth. The tax man (evading paying taxes) and FDA (making false claims of healing) wanted to talk to Ron.
It is then Ron created the Sea Project.
His lie, ape in the back seat, his “prevarication” for creating the Sea Org was to “save the universe through man’s best friend and ‘only hope”.
The truth of the matter is Ron was hiding.
Mmmmmm, HIDING………… Now where is that on the tone scale I wonder?
The ape in the back seat of the taxi is about to be seen for what it is: Fraud
Miscavige is applying the black ops tools of keeping power he learned from Hubbard: destroy critics and evade/prevaricate.
“the truth, though fought, always in the end prevails” L Ron Hubbard
Dear Brain,
1st Rule of Scientology is you are not to apply Scientology principles in negative way towards Ron, Miscavige, The Church, or anyone who is more in-ethics than you. (Ethics level being determined by Rank, IAS membership status, and possibly level achieved recently on the bridge.) You need to stop think this. But don’t worry a mobile sec-check van is being dispatch to your house. So you can start your A to E immediately. Also, please have all the credit cards out. If you’re cards are maxed out, don’t worry we’ve already applied for new ones in your name!!!!
ML,
Your Local OSA agents!
How true. One amazing thing to me is that they have literally 0 friends in the media. Zero. Not one publication has come anywhere near their defense. Even the LA TIMES, who on occasion has said something nice, blasted them this morning.
Their strong arm tactics have burnt all of their bridges. And now, with little or no chance of reprisal, all of the media are piling on. And will probably continue to pile on as the film premiers tomorrow night on HBO.
DM could’ve just said in a bored tone, “oh, another day another film about us – guess there is a lot of interest in Scientology.” But NOOOOOOOO. He had to attack like a rabid dog, only to PROVE the allegations in the film.
Amazing to me how stupid he really is. I used to think he was pretty clever. Evil, but clever. Not so much anymore. He is only smart at taking advantage of gullible people.
The first time I ever heard him was at the LRH death event. He talked about how LRH was now doing the ultimate OT level that couldn’t be done with a body. And it was “beyond your wildest dreams.” That has to be the most hackneyed expression in Scientology. I knew he was full of shit in 1986.
And, If I were still in the church, I would be embarrassed out of my mind by the film and their response. I remember Freedommag’s name calling response to the Tampa Bay Times Truth Rundown. I never directed any of my non-scn family or friends to it. Who writes that stuff, anyway?
Well, good luck to DM and his minions, as I believe their days of wine and roses are about to end.
Shelgold, the media in general has been afraid all these years. Afraid of lawsuits and harassment.
But now, can you imagine all of the pent up feelings the press has now?
With all the fury of an abused person, the press is now free to make a statement without fear. Every single site on the Internet. Everyone! is sympathetic to the movie.
Everyone…………. world wide is being there and communicating.
The jig is up. The Scientology evil black ops attack machine is closed for business. Done, fini over and out.
LONG LIVE THE INTERNET!!
I agree that he is only smart at taking advantage of gullible people. And he is really good at spotting gullible people. Obviously it is all about him.
His announcement of LRH’s death was an eye opener for me as well. He didn’t at all seem like he believed what he was saying….LRH doing the ultimate OT level….beyond your wildest dreams….what cliche bullshit.
I think now those comments were his start in separating out the gullible from the those who weren’t. That death event was all about Miscavige and really nothing about the man who died.
“Amazing to me how stupid he really is. I used to think he was pretty clever. Evil, but clever. Not so much anymore. He is only smart at taking advantage of gullible people.” Well said, Sheldon. And Potpie, yes I agree that the whole death event was all about Miscavige and nothing about the man who died. That was the beginning of the hostile takeover that we were all too stupid to even question. He just came in and scooped it up for the taking because no one questioned, no one stood up. And then his first order of action was to either Declare and excommunicate, or imprison in the Hole all the execs who had “the fire in their belly” who could have stood up to him. With those execs out of the way, it was smooth sailing for the takeover from there.
Shelgold,
I have learned from a friend that Freedum Mag is now being edited by a wog lady who is supportive of the Cult. Looks like the Miscarriage has decided that he will need some wog support to legitimize his claims of undue harassment.
It would be fun to find out what her starting salary is, who her handler is and what info she is being shown. Probably started with ‘what is greatness?’.
Between the wog attorneys and wog editors you wonder what other wogs Dave will hire to tell lies about how nice and friendly the Cult of Greed really is.
Isn’t it interesting Sheldon! This preamble to Going Clear release has actually pleasantly surprised me in a BIG way. It made me realize that not only the press in general but also the public at large has been secretly hating the church of scientology or to put it in the vernacular, they have Bypassed Charge and they are blowing down big time (LFBD/FN) over this documentary. “SOMEONE IS FINALLY STICKING IT TO scientology!”
Just my little ole story of declare brought all my relatives and many friends out of the woodwork to download to me (independent of each other) how they really felt about scientology. They had been withholding for years and years! Scientology has been the Church of Fear for not only its own parishioners but the press and the public at large and now they have a voice! They are speaking out!
THIS PHENOMENON HAS BEEN A HUGE SURPRISE TO ME!
Dave:
IT IS OVER!!!!!!!!! You can hang onto what is left of your flock. You can hang onto all those people who have disconnected from people you hate, but that is all you have left and even that won’t last forever. Dave! YOU ARE A HATED MAN! End the abuses and all will cheer.
The whole thing has been fascinating so far. My family did the same. Amazing what a hated group they have become. Will be interesting to see what happens next 🙂
Yea Shel, I remember seeing that event at Flag and all the sheeple swooning over Lrh’s “bold” decision to drop the body because he had reached the end of OT research in a body. I had a hard time swallowing that one but didn’t say anything because it would have meant a loooooooooong stint at the MAA’s office.
I agree that the days of “wine and roses” is reaching it’s zenith and soon the Dwarf ill drown in his whiskey!
Re: “I knew he was full of shit in 1986.”
Shelgold, that 1986 event in which Four Feet Thirteen announced that LRH had dropped his body is the last Scientology Inc. event I attended. Something told me, “Don’t go to any more events!” Over the years, as I dutifully continued as a Bubble Dweller,I concocted clever reasons why I couldn’t go to an event (“I’ve already signed up with the Org across the street,” etc.) or why I didn’t want mountains of duplicate mail as well as useless mail from England (“I’m staying with friends and don’t have a legal mailing address”). Yes, FFT, I lied, and lied well! It’s odd to note how I knew not to go to their events or accept their mail, yet I wasn’t aware of the Bubble. That Bubble burst in August 2014, and it sure is a big relief to have that crazy cult identified as such.
Hi Fred, I loved your post ! Thank you from an oldie who thankfully was not attending the 1986 event. I am so ancient the last one I attended was in 1976,in the SO when we dropped notes intio a huge bowl telling Ron what we wanted for him. I said I wanted him to,reach the stars, however I did not mean celebrities & after what happened to me in the SO, well boy did I see stars from certain quarters for that remark! Take Care, Ann Watson.
Dave,
Where is Greta Van Susteren when you need her?
The invisible man (TM) looks like he has a hollow head.
Deliberately appropriate
A blender.
Mike:
Check out this exchange between several angry Scientologists and myself after I made an innocuous tweet to nobody in particular about Going Clear.
http://velocityltd.org/2015/03/28/scientology-v-me-on-twitter/
They wished me to jump in front of a train, and even went into a Harry Potter-mode and wished me to be disappeared. Strange, for sure!
No surprise that John Alex Wood is involved in this. He’s Scientology’s main Twitter enforcer and propagandist in Great Britain. He’s also a hardcore Monty Python obsessive, and so utterly nuts that Eric Idle told him on Twitter to fuck off.
That’s the type of people you’re dealing with here, Julian.
That little bit about Eric Idle is absolutely hilarious. Thank you for sharing that.
It’s like a regraded being strip.
Next Time if they keep arguing just post a link to and ask them to look at the regraded being comic https://www.mikerindersblog.org/thursday-funnies-21/
Hey mike, maybe you could post anchor links for regraded being.
http://www.wendycholbi.com/anchor-links-jump-links/
So do bubble dwellers really belive now that the FBI has “exposed” the movie and that Gibney is facing 10 years in jail or is it just this guy dreaming things up?
For those of you who love the meta-physical stuff.
Let’s all send some affinity balls to Tom Cruise, John Travolta, etc. Then send some affinity balls to anyone else you think is still in. Just maybe they’ll grow a clue. We could also do some basking in the just how f’d up the whole situation is.
Or if you really want to squirrel it: 1 2 3…1 2 3…
oh, man those people worry me.
Hey it nuts but who ever said the universe was a sane place 😉
For all of you who have no clue as to what am saying. I’ll put it simple, send them some positive thoughts, vibes, prays, anything spiritual you enjoy…
Also don’t forget those in the HOLE!
We would have to be the ones to send the affinity balls, because the entire world now knows that Scientology and Scientologists have no balls of their own.
The soundtrack has switched, Davey. It used to be that the go-to song from Les Miz for us fringe-dwellers was “Do You Hear The People Sing”. Now it’s “One More Day”. That’s all you have, Davey. One. More. Day.
Tick tock, tick tock.
And Mike drops the mic!
This brilliant post and Paul Haggis’s description of the Scientology experience (at http://tonyortega.org/2015/03/24/going-clear-paul-haggis-pens-a-description-of-the-scientology-experience-you-wont-forget/) are all anyone needs to know about the scientology cult.
The media needs to focus in on why there is no live spokesperson for Scientology who is willing to speak in public.
Not just report that they declined.
Good point 1subgenius. Why is there no live spokesperson to speak in public? And where is Shelley Miscavige?
“Shelley is at Club Med for a well deserved vacation and all the Sea Org members are taking the weekend off for volleyball and a humongous barbecue in appreciation for all their hard work and dedication.”
SO International Public Relations Officer I/C HFA
You make a good point. There are plenty examples in history. In this video (Mike Wallace on Scientology Crimes) some members from the church make appearances. A couple of staff and three public. I think we would all agree it did not end well. Besides Mike Rinder, there was Heber, Robert Vaughn Young, and others who have spoken up in defense of Scientology. Now no one speaks. Because it is indefensible. Miscavige probably thinks he can get away with silence out of an arrogance that Scientology is “above it all”. It is not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzq2I9VveCc
I think there is no one that can speak for the church of scientology at this point and david miscavige knows it. Look what a spectacular job Tommy Davis did! Tommy David should be put on a top ten list of people who damage the church of scientology.
This is why there is no spokesperson for the church that can speak in public. The jig is up.
McCarran, Tony thought of that 3 years ago. Tommy is #12.
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/09/tommy_davis_top_25_crippling_scientology.php
I concur, Pure Genius! This is something all journalist should be talking about. But, of course, when the clown dwarf was on Nighline with Ted Koppell, he was eviscerated. Chopped to pieces. Burned at the stake. Skewered. Made fun of. Gosh, I guess he learned his lesson. He’s a coward..
That hat is already taken. Mike Rinder IS the official spokesman these days.
Excellent post Mike – quite brilliant actually. Seems the Church has gone PTS to all the SPs out here.
I agree with you. It should be questioned again and again… just as Alex and Wright are focusing on the Tax Exemption and Tom Cruise saying something. Why is NOBODY from the church willing to go on camera and talk calmly and intelligently? Why not Tommy Davis? We could use another one of his tantrums. 🙂
Brilliant!
More than “scared”, Mike. TERRIFIED comes much closer to the mark. I am predicting an upsurges of members leaving.
Guaranteed!!
COS is not just attacking the film makers, interviewees and reporters who are covering the documentary. Even someone who was just tweeting a short message about it is being attacked. Look at this crazy conversation: http://velocityltd.org/2015/03/28/scientology-v-me-on-twitter/
Reading these tweets is like listening to a debate between a conservative and a liberal. They go no where and minds do not change. There is no legitimate debate. The minds of Koolaid drinkers do not change.
I asked a friend of mine who told me an ex friend of hers works for OSA and is on this site and hates Mike Rinder. I asked my friend what her friend thought about the abuses committed by David Miscavige. She said her friend says they are all lies.
What a great way to go. Here you are, a dedicated Religion of Hate member, with your job keeping tabs on Mike’s blog and having to read each post each day.
Yo OSA,
“Feel the anger ……….. let the hatred well up in your veins………….. OR
GET THE FUCK OUT AND ENJOY LIFE!
Btw OSA, it really makes my day knowing you folks have to read this blog. It couldn’t happen to a nicer cult. But really guys and gals, you ought to post more often. We are getting a bit starved for target material. And when you do, try and pretend (you know, that means LIE if you are in the cult) that you are really one of us fringe folks.
Wow. That Twitter nonsense blew my mind. I cannot wait to see what happens Monday morning. Does anyone know if it will be available right away on HBO GO?
Mike I got a niece in Sea Org. She claims to get regular vacations 2 weeks a year. Is this new? Or is she lying? Do children get sec checked at 6 when they start going to church, and if they find that the kids are compelled to go by the parents, do they not let them in? That’s what I was told. I probably know the answer to the latter part of the question but would love your answer.
Theoretically you can take vacation in the SO. But you must find a replacement for your post and that replacement has to be approved by your Sr. And your stats have to be up and and and. One SO member told me that when you come back it is hard to get the stats up and catch up on the backlog, so it’s easier to just not go on vacation. In reality there are very few who actually are able to take a vacation because the CSW rarely gets approved. And on the blogs here have been far too many stories from ex SO about how they weren’t allowed time off to see dying relatives, to get married, to honeymoon, to handle family problems. So what is promised to new SO recruits and what is actually done are two different things.
The church of David Miscavige does seem to change when forced to by whistleblowers (never because it’s the right thing to do). It wouldn’t surprise me if He isn’t giving his flock more time off. What do they have to do anyway? There are hardly any parishioners left to “serve.”
Good point. And if he gives them a vacation now since there is no public there to service, they can cut down on their food bill for the beans and rice cuz some of them will be gone fishin.
And if they do get vacation, how the hell could they pay for it???
Maybe there is a pay raise in the offing as well. Dave could add $20.00 a week to staff pay then they could go on vacation ( down to the Wendy’s on Sunset) and have some left over for His Birthday present. What a deal, vacations and birthday parties.
CobGatYour$$, your niece even got that wrong. It supposed to be THREE weeks for S.O. members. I took one week once and got sent to the “decks” when I got back. (where I refused to do anything except lounge). I can remember 2-3 people (out of hundreds) who took 1-3 weeks for vacation, one time…
The only thing I might suggest is that she starts writing down any promises made to her when they are made. Then she can start to see just how good the church is at keeping it’s promises. Ask her what she personally thinks it means to be honest, trust-worthy, loyal and lastly an ethical person. Have her write them down make a copy to keep for her to see in the future should hers get “lost”. Tell her that she should avoid any group that doesn’t even come close to those expectations of hers. It might take time for her to see it for herself but in time she should. Of course, this assumes you get a chance to really talk to her. Otherwise just tell her it’s okay to make mistakes but what not okay is to continue down a path when you know it’s the wrong one. And that you are always willing to help get her find a better path.
Regarding your second question about children being sec checked – I grew up in scientology, and didn’t receive any auditing until I was 13 years old, and that was objective processes, not sec checking. While growing up I didn’t see children being sec checked or having auditing. From my experience children usually study basic courses instead.
Another well written piece. Mike, I’d pay good money to hear you and David Miscavige debate. I think we all would.
Why don’t you send him an email suggesting this, and post his response (or lack of response)?
“Here is some simple logic: If someone asks you to appear in a film they are making and you refuse, and you have everyone associated with you refuse, you don’t really have a right to complain about it being “one-sided” after the fact by claiming they “refused to get your side of the story.” Mike, this article is one of your very best. I love your sense of humor and way of writing. This is a keeper that should be in blue ink on the side of your web site as a favorite.
A very well done indeed….
+100
Amen
Well said.
HGC10, you mean ecclesiasticizing ISN’T a real word??? Well, now it is!
If it gains currency, then any descriptivist would agree.
I hear the new Ecclesiasticizingness Rundown is already being delivered on the ship. The Pope and the Dalai Lama are flying out to Curaçao as we speak.
Since Scn is working overtime cranking out hate-filled assassination videos, why don’t they produce one of Miscavige telling his side of the story. Hell, it could completely and utterly one-sided, I don’t care. Just sit the old boy down in front of a camera and let him work his magic.
In fact, Scn could produce their own documentary which would serve as a supplement to Going Clear, and include footage the cherch felt was missing. Sadly, all they can muster are 7 minute vile hit pieces.
The Cherch of Scientology is quickly becoming known as the “Religion of Hate.”
Excellent point
It really is an excellent point.
Yes, and since they took over the KCET Studios in LA, they have all the state of the art equipment just waiting to be used. They also have plenty of staff who could make these documentaries since most auditors and D of P’s and C/Ses are sitting around with not much to do because not much auditing or training is taking place since everyone is on the Purif or Objectives. Or better yet, send the huge cadre of SO that they sent to LA to drum up business to the studios to make the documentaries. They could make their own documentary right from their own studio now. So why don’t they? We all know the answer.
I predict they/He will do this, but who will air it? They will. They/He will probably produce it in mass DVD quantities (parishioners will buy these in bulk) and air it on their/His new super duper studio that the parishioners will give tons of money to erect. They/He will have his own screening and it will be quite an erection and to much fanfare of the remaining few. They will scream, cheer and applaud his Hindass for doing such a superb job of Dead Agenting the effects of The Documentary.
Yup. Then he’ll show a wrap up video of the 11,000 missions and orgs worldwide.
I think you are on to His next ploy Mary! Watch for Him and His BFFs to show up on KCET for ‘An evening with Dave and Friends’. Tom and John would pull a crowd of viewers.
Or how about “An Evening of Truth with Dave’. Really cozy and nice ………… just another day in the Cult of Hate.
Hell, then they can SEOCOTV and show the world how it is done for real.
Clue:
SEO = suck each others
OTV = on TV.
The rest is left to the imagination ……. just like auditing!
I better stop here!
The only slight problem is that it will leak. And get commented on in the media. And that is something that Captain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige cannot allow.
I know! OK. DM is very very busy ecclisasticizing all around the globe, so he doesn’t have time to sit for interviews (or depositions). But he can’t even sit down for a videotaped statement of any kind, a la the wildly successful Tom Cruise video? That’s some kind of busy. Busier than a one-armed paperhanger.
But luckily for DM (and unlucky for us), he knows on some level that he is a deeply repellent persona, and will never add value to Sci PR by exposing his persona to the outside world. He may not understand why that is, but he can’t but be aware that every scrap of video of his big event appearances are laughed at heartily when shown to outsiders.
ETA: The correct spelling of my made-up word is ecclesiasticizing.
Definition: ecclesiasticizing
Shit David Miscavige does.
Ah c’mon. Maybe ‘statpush’ didn’t make such a good point after all. Don’t you think by now Miscavige has figured out that any video he tries to pull together, for whatever reason, is going to make the church look even more ridiculous than it does right now (if that’s possible)?
Wait… no. Don’t answer that. I just remembered, his narcissistic and degenerate ego is far too inflated for him to be able to catch on to subtle nuances such as an ENTIRE COUNTY LAUGHING at every single obstacle he tries to throw in the way of the truth coming to light. After ‘Going Clear’ airs tomorrow on HBO, it will probably be more sneering than laughing… or a healthy combination of both.
Frankly, I see little that is funny about the Co$. (I spell it with a dollar sign so people don’t confuse it with the Church of Satan, a more honest church.)
Making a counter-video would only make sense to a rational and savvy individual. By the time the show airs, any attempts to do so will be seen as desperation.
The footbullets keep acoming!
Behar called it the “”Cult of Greed” John Sweeney called the “Church of Fear” Karen de la Carriere called the “Church of Lies” and now they are unfolding the III Act of the Funny Tragedy of the “Church” of Hate and Lies. Starring the Naked Emperor, Admiral of the Fleet, Defender of the Faith, Captain Black Heart, AKA the “petty little bitch” upstart bully David Miss Cabbage.
Yes, Scientology and its members are cowards and “Going Clear” is shining a huge spot light on them. What do cockroaches do when a light is beating down on them – they run and hide.
Scientology is at “hiding, being nothing and total failure” on the Tone Scale.
Thanks to COB, Captain Blackheart David “Muammar” Miscavige. Very Well Done Sir! Please – continue. No one could take your cult down faster than you!! Evil and Scotch pours out of your veins.
Miscavige – watch videos of what happened to Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein – your mentors. These (how these dictators met their demise) are the Laws of “Cause and Effect” – not your policies of “In the best interest of your cult”!
Tick Tock Muammar Miscavige – Tick Fricken Tock!
Please I.M don’t insult Gadaffi!
