Lots of Easter promos this week, just kept it to one... It's World Renowned And it's "visually spectacular." They are taking it on a "global tour." So why are they doing it in Los Angeles? The real thing is right there -- not their half-baked traveling version... It's Easter Remember, the man on the cross is a figment of the R6 bank. Flag is at it again Hubbard's ashes are churning up the Pacific as the Mecca of Technical Perfection panders to FSM's to try to drum up some income. The L. Ron Hubbard Hall is going nowhere... We rarely hear … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The Thursday Funnies are back with a vengeance! We've got some great stuff this week... Things are really gearing up. You'd better be ready for the greatest expansion ever that is just over the horizon.... For 70+ years now, the mantra has been that the promises made are now finally going to come true.

Programming Note: Amy and Mike Easter special is coming tonight on my YouTube channel at 7:30pm EDT. We will be talking about whether scientology is compatible with Christianity. Seems appropriate to cover this topic on the eve of Good Friday. Top Headliners for this... Bet there will be more regges there than artists. Bay Area Cowboys? Cowboys? Bay Area? Like Midnight Cowboy maybe? Missions are not supposed to make Clears... Hubbard went absolutely borneo when he heard this was happening back in the early 80's. That is what ORGS are … [Read more...]

This is definitely going to make the whole country ideal... There are still orgs in Canada that after 20 years have gone nowhere -- Calgary, Edmonton. Let alone Toronto and they didn't even need to buy a … [Read more...]
Easter — Scientology Style
They are at it again: Scientology pretending it is aligned with Christianity. Celebrating Easter is even more hypocritical than celebrating Christmas -- which almost transcends a religious holiday in most Western countries. But Easter, like Passover is truly a religious day, there is no federal holiday designated for these occasions in the US. This is the day to remember Christ on the cross.

I have written about this before Can Scientologists be … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard on Christianity
Had I been thinking straight, I would have posted this yesterday on Easter Sunday. As is often the case, I am a day late and a dollar short. Though I can try to salvage some face by noting Easter Monday is a major holiday in Australia and a lot of other countries... I have done a few earlier posts about Hubbard's view of Christianity, most notably Can Scientologists be Christians or Jews Too? But while looking for some other materials I came across some interesting things I had not seen before. In 1954, looking to increase the revenues of scientology (it is a long sordid tale of … [Read more...]
