All Religions.... Unless your religion happens to be "ex-scientologist" Suckering the LAPD once again.... Some shameless safepointing with cash. A whole new universe? They haven't even created a whole new org yet. Photo Op This is the best they could do. 22 people? But they're creating a whole new universe.... Because you know something is wrong Their little tag line at the bottom is interesting. Surely they know something is wrong inside the bubble? These guys could do with a new graphic … [Read more...]

Lots of found parking spaces and caught the green light... There's been a pretty big devaluation of "OT phenomena" AOLA could use some of this... Wonder why these guys who are so good aren't 10X the success of the orgs? Instead of being on course? Oh my.... Unites? This is the big IAS event this year? Wow The First Ideal Continent... Just Canberra, Adelaide and Brisbane to go for an ideal "Continent" -- but not a single org in India, China, Indonesia etc. Seems just a little bit of a hollow … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
We have quite a selection this week! Dilettantes Get Away Does this prize include an approved CSW from the Course Supervisor and D of P to not report to the org during the trip? (Of course there is no org in St. Thomas or anywhere else in the Caribbean other than Puerto Rico... despite the Freewinds leading the charge on clearing the planet there for 25 years) For Eternity For anyone who doesn't know about this -- I recommend you check it out. Scientology has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of tax exempt money to preserve the scribblings of Hubbard for all … [Read more...]
Run Aground at the Freewinds
For some time now it has been a running joke that the Freewinds "off the crossroads of the world" has been tied up to a dock because they had no money available to purchase the fuel to leave harbor. But for the past year, the Freewinds has been really run aground. Anyone who arrives to Aruba intent on visiting the permanently docked vessel must first spent two weeks aground in a motel room in "quarantine." Here is a recent arrival announcing the wonders of her trip to the stranded Freewinds. Oh, the amazing luxury of a room with a coffee table AND a table and chairs (on the patio). And … [Read more...]

Take Control of Your Mental Health? What if we told you up front that after you pay tens, if not hundreds of thousands to clear the effects of your reactive mind, that you will eventually realize it was something YOU "mocked up"? How would your mental health seem then? Fully In Control of Life From reading a book? At least he/she won't need to waste money on auditing. Focusing on Human Trafficking I bet nobody has let Mona in on the secret that scientology is engaged in systemic human trafficking? And that Columbus org is staffed with … [Read more...]
Some Funnies on Thursday
Just a few of the things that have been forwarded to me recently. Some are a little old. But nothing really changes in scientology, it just gets smaller. People have been asking for Thursday Funnies to come back. It somewhat depends on what comes in. Once the pandemic hit, the volume of promotional items they sent out decreased. But it seems to be coming back now. Not sure if I will do this every Thursday, but here is an installment to satisfy the need for some humor on this topic. "Get some of the most praised products!" Huh? And what might they be? This place is … [Read more...]
Episode 52: The Bridge Deep Dive Part 3 with Vicki Marshall
This week we are joined by Leah's mother, Vicki, to discuss the OT levels. Vicki achieved the very pinnacle of scientology auditing, doing OT VIII on the scientology cruise ship Freewinds. We talk about the earlier OT levels and our experiences on them and then Vicki's recollections of OT VIII. Suffice to say, it was underwhelming. This is the Freewinds, the only place you can do OT VIII - her usual location is tied up at a dock in Curacao or Aruba. For the last year or more it has been Aruba: Here is some background information from an earlier post: The Real Story of the … [Read more...]
Some Funnies
This is a random collection of things sent in recently. There is little rhyme or reason to them. Hubbard Logic Wrap your brain around this. So, if there is anything you disagree with in scientology it is because you haven't properly recalled what you already knew... Roping in an Ideal Org What they are actually doing is roping in some suckers. Though at this point, I cannot imagine anyone participating in any event like this that isn't already intending to hand over some cash. The more important question. Why is the Valley OT Committee wasting time on Albuquerque … [Read more...]
ONLY on the Freewinds…
It is pretty remarkable that the "OT Ship" is now specializing as the place to go to do the Purif. The ONLY place in the world? What about the Narconons? They are advertising that they are open? But they don't count? Actually, I bet there are plenty of places you can in fact do the Purif -- New Zealand and Australia come to mind. They are conducting sporting events with capacity crowds.... In fact, there are probably places in the US where they are delivering the Purif. Maybe not in California, but Texas is ignoring recommendations on Covid protocols... Seems this is most likely a lie -- … [Read more...]
The Official Scientology Bubble — Now No Need for COVID Measures
I have often said that scientologists live in a bubble of delusion. But now it's official. Scientology have declared their ultimate "spiritual retreat" is now an official "bubble." It could not be more fitting that the Freewinds now has the stamp of approval from "Church Management" as an "official bubble." Anyone who has ever been to the Freewinds knows this is the most hermetically sealed bubble in all of scientology. Once you are in it, the outside world no longer exists and the only reality is the dream world of scientology. No contact with the outside world. Not even a way of … [Read more...]
