Just some OT Committee Minutes for today as I am taking the weekend with my kids and don’t want to spend time putting together a posting.
I let these accumulate and then publish them sporadically. They may contain interesting information, in all honesty I haven’t even read them. Probably the usual “wow, look how great we are doing, we had three people on Student Hat this week” sort of stuff.
Happy reading. I am sure some of our sharp eyed commenters will pick out some of the highlights.
In case you wondered, the cartoon is a comment on the deluge of documents and information that pours in from all sides of scientology. It’s amazing.

East US OT Committee Expansion News 2014
Dear East US OT Ambassadors and OT Committee Members:
East US Service Starts were second highest of the OTC year, totaling 54. The stat is uptrending overall. Two of our Ideal Org OTCs were the big stars: New York OTC had 20 starts and DC had 11 – Very Well Done to both!
As has been the case recently, East US Ideal Org Fundraising was dominated by the same two OTCs, but this past week it was Detroit on top and Atlanta #2. Very Well Done for keeping it going!
Here’s where to put your attention: Active OTC Members. Every OTC can increase its participation by getting members onto Golden Age of Tech Phase II services. The wins from the Purification Rundown, Survival Rundown and Student Hat are beyond stellar! With those life-changing wins, it’s easy to get people on board and contributing to you OTC – and making Ideal Orgs across the entire continent!
Note the East US Ideal Org Alliance scheduled for the last weekend of September at Flag!

Aquamarine says
Mike,
I haven’t read the Minutes yet or any of the comments, but have scrolled down to the bottom to say that I hope you had a lovely weekend with your kids, and also that I am so grateful for the work you do for us by maintaining this blog. Thank you.
Ok, now I’m going to read the minutes, and give a shout out of thanks to the MMs (Mike’s Moles) who leak them to you. You go, Moles! Keep leaking those suckers, no matter how inane they are. In fact, the more vapid and empty-headed they are, the better, because that indicates the Cult is in fear – afraid of leaks, afraid to comm because they really have nothing, no good news, to communicate. Let them be afraid. I love reading their rubbish, no kidding.
MJ says
ML = Many Losses.
Hallie Jane says
Enjoy your weekend with your family Mike!
Martin Padfield says
+1
Annette Chaffee says
They are nothing more than a fundraising organization. Nothing else is mentioned in their meetings…. It’s like they are promoting buying your way to the top and don’t even pretend to be a “religion”.
Hallie Jane says
Mid century modern….and a new logo. Oh my, how far we have drifted from the wins of pcs and preots and well trained auditors. The radical church is in treason to itself and horribly, horribly off purpose.
MJ says
They give radical a bad name. I am hereby defining RCS as Reactionary Church of Scientology.
Hallie Jane says
Bravo!
MJ says

Tara says
Perfect!
Hiatus57 says
“Active Members – Down from 52 to 42”
Almost 20% of the OTC not “active” now?
I would assign them Danger condition at the very least, oops they don’t do that anymore that’s Scientology Tech
I cannot stop laughing at the antics of these people who have the unmitigated gaul to call themselves OT’s,
They are so far down the awareness scale its untrue.
This seeking approval of the asthmatic dwarf is propitiation gone mad.
me says
“Gross Income – Down from $145,450”
Down how far? Not fair to tease us like that.
WhatWhenAllWho says
I love the “Be interestING” – not interestED. Their grasp of LRH tech astounds me. No wonder the Valley Org is the very model of the little man’s success.
McCarran says
I noticed that too, WWAW. “Be interesting”. What ever happened to the intention to help the guy in front of you – being interestED in that. How far this church has sunk.
Hallie Jane says
Brilliant and spot on!
DollarMorgue says
54 service starts in EUS, of which 1 will stay on at the very most – scn has flatlined. If it weren’t so morbid, I’d say Mike is the coroner documenting the organisation’s death, cause of. And some of us here are perhaps onlookers who can’t stop staring at the grisly scene of the accident.
I really loved the comic, though. Brilliant!
Hope you had a great day out with your kids 🙂
Cooper J Kessel says
I would guess that most of those starts are OTs beginning the bridge again at the bottom. So they will likely stay unless they wake the fuck up.
DollarMorgue says
Oh. Did I fall for it again? I thought by service starts they meant new people, not services started on in total.
SILVIA says
Valley Org OTC hours averages 5.20 per member a week, I am sure they are exhausted.
Lordburg12 says
When I was on the OTC we were instructed to count the time it took to report our stats. In other words, even if you contributed no work hours that week to the OTC, just reporting your stats made you “active.” Also, attending the meeting counted as hours of “production.” Padded stats, anyone?
McCarran says
What is so damn important about these meetings or minutes that the OTC members are directed to “not forward the minutes to anyone else for any reason.” The biggest irony of all is that in these minutes, THAT notation is the one thing an SP like me will laugh at the most. They take themselves (pawns of David Miscavige) so seriously and have no idea that what they are doing has NO positive impact on society at large. They are a sad joke.
Steph says
McCarran: Exactly ! When I think of COB or the OTC I look out into my backyard, see all the blades of grass, and imagine that they are on the ground looking up through the blades of grass from so far below and wondering where the F they are. So tiny and inconsequential in this world.
Hallie Jane says
Get them out of your grass Steph! They will turn it brown SO fast!
Aquamarine says
I have visited NYD and Fdn Orgs. They are housedIdeal Org building which is right in the middle of a neighborhood known as Time Square, an area that each day for one reason or another has possibly millions of people passing thru it, and not only tourists, though there are plenty of those. But there are theatres, businesses, and all subways converge their. Time Square, as many of you already know, is called, “The Crossroads of the World”.
Now, in the middle of foot traffic that is out the roof, NYD and NYF have 20 new starts (in a week, a month – they don’t say) and this is considered terrific. Look, I don’t want to nag at a rise, and everything is relative, but UPSTAT? I can only shudder at what “normal” for them is.
The Dark Avenger says
About as effective as telling a 5-year old, “Don’t do that!”
Old Surfer Dude says
“What’s so damn important these meetings or minutes…” McCarran, have you gone mad! These people are mankind’s ONLY HOPE! They dedicated themselves to helping us all go FREE! Can’t you see the importance in this?
Ok, ok, they’re a bunch of paranoid fucks that just can’t get ANYTHING done! Gosh but I hope they read this blog every day! The leaks just keep on coming. Why? Because there are so many disaffected staff and members in every Idle Morgue just bidding their time until they leave. In the meantime, they supply us with their eternal memos. Ya gotta love it!
Old Surfer Dude says
I meant “internal memos.” Not eternal memos. Although the memos do seem never ending…
Hallie Jane says
It does FEEL eternal OSD, trying to get through them. The overrun phenomena squashes my face almost immediately. Gone on too long or happened too often….YES!! Too many reg cycles, too many lies, too many irrational ideas, too many orders, too many altered tech points, too many off policy actions, too many overpriced buildings, too many empty bank accounts, too many broken families, etc, etc, etc. My favorite is too many SPs, I can actually take a win on that!
Jose Chung says
Nobody can figure out that they are in trouble big time.
To qoute Sahab Ernrani my former ARAB FSM of sorts
“KEEP YOUR BLINDERS ON !”
Im in the wrong business, I should be selling RADIOACTIVE BINDERS to Scientologist’s.
Jose Chung says
Typos: Sahab Emrani, Blinders
(Blinders that block the Internet will cost more)
hgc10 says
“Megan Mitchell acknowledged the helpers for the Time Is NOW Event last Saturday and continued recruiting volunteers for the upcoming Autumn Gala event.”
This sentence struck me as funny, and I wonder if it’s a bit of a faux pas. Probably not a smooth move, Ex-lax, to remind people of “Time is NOW” events in the past when you no doubt have a “Time is NOW” event coming up in the near future. The key to cognitive dissonance is to let the memory hole swallow up contradictory evidence. STOP bringing it up!
me says
“Colleen Lindsey from Flag announced by singing the new Flag World Tour Event.”
The mind boggles. What did she sing? What tune did she use? Did she pay royalties to the composer (I think this qualifies as a public performance for copyright purposes)?
Aquamarine says
Me,
What tune? Kander & Ebbs, “The Money Song” from “Cabaret” would have been appropriate. In fact, I’m waiting for it to be the Ideal Song for all Scientology fundraising.
Old Surfer Dude says
You know, posters, as much as I love manic glee and dubious stats, I’m just not sure they’ll let be a member of the OTC which I REALLY want to do! So, any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Hallie Jane says
Ok OSD…..I, Hallie Jane do herewith decree, that OSD is anointed SOOPER DOOPER MERITONIOUS PLATONICUS, Chairman, of the OTC known as (extremely) special persons, of the “something can be done about it” clan. Moreover, 🙂 , he can run it as he damn well pleases whenever he pleases, with whomever he pleases. Hope this helps, celebrate with the adult beverage of your choice.
Aquamarine says
OSD, if you aspire to OTC membership you’ll need to expand considerably on your usage of exclam tech. One or two here and there is just not going to cut it. That said, if your exclam tech ever does make the grade for OTC membership you’ll then be banned from this blog. Life is full of difficult choices, OSD 🙂

Why thank you, Hallie.

Statpush,
I’ve recommended you for membership in Mensa society.
