This email went out one minute before the scheduled start of this "seminar." They dun cansulled it. Maybe not so much unlimited expansion and prosperity for the seminar leaders. One of two things happened: 1. Nobody showed up. 2. Message from on-high that having NSO's doing seminars in the all-SO pride of the Miscavige fleet, LA Org is a no-no. Given the timing of the email, I would guess the former. But it could well be the latter. Sooner or later Dear Leader is going to blow a gasket about the fucking DB NSO's doing seminars and then someone is going to have to … [Read more...]

“Successes”
One of the craziest things about scientology is the use of "success stories." These things are a strange mixture of self-affirmation, peer pressure and fear. People write them to accomplish one or all of the following at the completion of a scientology service: a. To ensure they are allowed to complete and be presented with a certificate, they write what they think they are supposed to say b. To affirm for themselves that they have in fact gotten something for the time and money they have invested c. To gain recognition from others for their "wins." In truth, nobody should need … [Read more...]

Is this a joke? Scientology is going to teach the world how to do PR? And the KKK are going to be holding a seminar on racial tolerance... Arte Maren? Seriously? GO poster child pitching for the Moneywinds? Strange bedfellows. Desperate circumstances call for desperate measures. More "commercial" From the religion that worships money Yes, it's EPIC... Let your imagination run wild as to just how epic this could be. An event in Birmingham, put on by Birmingham... Money, money, money I doubt even the televangelists … [Read more...]

Wrong Plane This should have been a DC 8 not a DC 3. And that is an awfully slow way to travel, the WW II era DC3 is not renowned for its speed.... Just a month or so ago, Andres was touring around as Snr CS WUS. Wonder if his coverage on the fringes of the internet got him in trouble? The greatest push in the last 2500 years Seems just a bit overhyped... Makes you wonder what the push was back in Mesopotamia in 600BC The event went on for 8 hours... Bet none of these photos were taken when it ended. This is an ideal org? They can list everyone who is … [Read more...]

We don't have toilet paper But we DO have air conditioning. So, come on down and let's make a deal... The best parking We don't have toilet paper either. But we absolutely have the BEST parking. And it's the ONLY way Denver org can make any income and there isn't much time left in the season before the barren Broncos/Avalanche/Nuggets season sets in. From: Bruno Bergeron To: Subject: Whoop! Whoop! Is that the best title for an email or what? If you're reading this right now then say YES! lol OK we are now more than half way through the Rockies season so … [Read more...]
OMG. They Didn’t!
Yes, of course they did. The Moneywinds is now promoting they have an "OT VIII, IX and X C/S." Love to go to one of those briefings and get the full rundown from Bob on how he C/Ses OT IX and X.... Of course, they will say ANYTHING to try and get people to show up for these briefings. And ANYTHING to persuade the sheeple that they should go on hoping. That there is the elusive "spiritual eternity" just over the horizon, so long as you remain a believer. Scientology -- after deriding it so heavily in other religions -- has assumed the old religious pitch. It's just their heaven is not … [Read more...]
It’s ALL About The Money
Normally I would have simply included a couple of these in the Thursday Funnies and been done with it. But this week it hit saturation level and I felt it deserves a single post that gathers together a sample of one week of pitches from the most OT org on earth. The top of the bridge. It doesn't get any better than this, what every scientologist is striving for. The Moneywinds no longer seems to operate on any pretense about "delivering service" -- they are ONLY about helping people make money so they might extract it from them. What is that saying about money being the lowest motivating … [Read more...]
Survey for “Next” OT Level
A little more "come on" carrot hype. And that is ALL this is. You can imagine there is plenty of grumbling about where are the "next OT levels?" They don't get mentioned hardly at all these days. This is a BIG deal for scientologists. What if there really are no more OT levels? OT VIII is as good as it gets? The current "OT VIIIs" look around and think to themselves "I am not really OT." They know it. Everyone else looks and sees "OT VIII's" who are FAR from what anyone strives to be like. The OT VIII's shrivel up and die just like everyone else. They have financial p … [Read more...]

Big News Birmingham, England's second largest city, has the second largest population of Muslim, Sikh and Buddhists, but is short on Hindus and positively pathetic when it comes to Jews (why even mention them?) Forgot to mention it also has the second largest population of Church of England and Catholics. Probably Methodists and Lutherans too. It also has the second largest population of women. AND men. I am sure all these people really want an ideal org in Birmingham. They need hundreds of helpers That promise of "we are making an ideal org" 40 YEARS ago seems … [Read more...]
