The “ideal org” charade goes on and on and on.
Surely someone needs to get some control over their promotional items.
This one says everything that needs to be said about scientology “expansion.” They have invested millions for a building and they have 7 staff . This is not even a Dianetics Counseling Group, let alone a Mission.
Remember when they used to promote the upcoming ideal orgs with shots of dozens of staff waving on the steps — Valley and Tampa and London etc. All those orgs are dead as doornails despite having much larger fields (I would guess the size of the Central files in Canberra is about 5% of any of these 3), many more staff and larger buildings better situated than the new Canberra building.
The sheeple have become so blind to the facts, and so accepting of the party line that “ideal orgs will clear the planet” they apparently don’t even notice how feeble they make themselves look.
Compare this reality to the hype dished out by Miscavige at the New Year’s event — there is a transcript at Tony Ortega’s Underground Bunker or if you want to really torture yourself, listen to the full audio posted by Alex Barness-Ross on YouTube.
They aren’t looking at the camera, they’re looking at the big bowl of beans and rice on a stand with seven spoons.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Speaking as an ex-Scn, ex-SO Canberran, those staff can’t possibly be standing in front of that view which is a view of the Lake Burley Griffin seen from the Arboretum restaurant. It’s been photo-shopped. And anyway, that’s not the iconic view of Canberra either — it could be any lake anywhere. Parliament House would be the image that everyone knew is in Canberra. In my ignorance, I thought the Canberra org died a quiet death decades ago. And seven staff must be a Highest Ever for them. Bet you most of them are part-time as no way could anyone survive in this city on org pay, even if it’s gone up 10x from the bad old days. I’ll be keeping my eyes out for these buggers and hope I see them somewhere on a street with a clipboard. That would be fun for an old Div 6-er.
Clearing Canberra at the rate of maybe one a year. Or in $camatology speak, several thousand a year.
Reputations have to be earned. Scientology earned a negative reputation.
Okay so we all know that if you play the board game Risk, and you fail to take over Australia, you’re DOOMED.
Jokes aside, yeah any idiot with Photoshop and 15 minutes on their hands could make this. I wonder what they think it’s actually worth? Or is it just an adorable Christmas card thing they can send to the few that accidentally stumbled into the Canberra org?
(Leaked draft of Miscavige speech for New Year’s event 2023. The speechwriter is now on the RPF, for “treasonous robotism”…)
“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of our incredible community, welcome to this momentous occasion where we celebrate the awe-inspiring journey of our organization. Our expansion efforts have been nothing short of miraculous! Through unwavering dedication and unyielding determination, we have taken monumental strides toward our goals.
“Our growth, while modest in the eyes of some, is a testament to our resilience and unshakable commitment. We’ve encountered challenges, yes, but each obstacle has only fueled our passion to reach greater heights. Let me assure you, our movement is not just moving forward; it’s soaring to unprecedented levels of achievement.
“The numbers might suggest a different narrative, but numbers are merely a fraction of the profound impact we are making on the world. Our influence, our message, resonates far and wide, touching the lives of countless individuals in ways that statistics simply cannot capture.
“Yes, we might not have hit the anticipated benchmarks, but who needs benchmarks when our spirit, our energy, and our determination are at an all-time high? Our journey is not about numbers on a chart; it’s about the profound, life-changing experiences we bring to each and every member of our community.
“So, let us not be disheartened by the trivialities of statistics or the skepticism of naysayers. Instead, let us revel in the immeasurable triumphs of our collective efforts. Together, we are rewriting the very fabric of existence, and our path, though challenging, is illuminated by the radiant glow of our unwavering faith and dedication.
“Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary journey, a journey that will continue to defy expectations and leave an indelible mark on the tapestry of human existence!”
Actually, the speechwriter IS a robot! Chat GPT prompt was:
“Write a cringe-worthy speech in the style of David Miscavige, which is trying to put positive spin on obviously weak expansion efforts.”
Stat rationalization .
Comm Even the bum!
New Years Message!
And it continues to fail everywhere else. This is some really good news that comes in two forms.
One) A dangerous group of cult adherents will continue to diminish in size over time making the environment a safer place.
Two) Individuals who remain deluded (and dangerous) are much easier to spot when they identify with the cult.
Yo Dave,
My ex brother and sister in law, their kids and their kids kids who are all ‘members in good standing of yer cult moved from LA to Utah a few years ago. Why good buddy do you think that is?
Of note, 4 of them are EX See Ogre, 4 of the grandkids are See Ogre joining age but are not real keen on yer group. So what’s the answer good buddy?
Hint: It’s not because they want to be closer to source! Or call ins! or Regges!
Must be the air quality bro!!!!! Have a nasty new year and may the lord shit in your mess kit.
BTW, where’s Ron fer Gawds sake???????????????????????????
🙂 🙂
Coop, if your ex-out laws have moved to Utah, they will surely be near an ideal org in SLC. As they like to say in Utah, “all hat and no cowboy”. In cult speak that translates to “all regg and no results”. If they are looking for clean air they are shit outta luck in SLC. Some of the worst air in the nation during winter inversions. And, the traffic sucks and the drivers suck even more. If they are away from the ideal org they better be careful. SLC has produced some of the very best SPs around. Several of us post here and on other cult critics blogs.
They’re not too near it. They chose Park City. In any case, I wish them well and I’m happy to have nice new friendly neighbors that face life with smiles rather than scowls!
Happiness comes without a pamphlet and life is very good with ‘the cult’ not in it!
