The Greatest Money Grab on Earth Featuring ex-D/CO OSA International now the "African Fundraising Project IC".... You can bet Hugh Jackman appreciates the shout out. History of Blacks in Scientology That presentation will be shorter even than a David Miscavige presentation on compassion The Doctrine of the Seed Money Every time I hand over money I make so much more... Why I joined staff... Nobody more recent than this child who was raised as a scientologist and joined 15 years ag0? The Dirty Half Dozen In … [Read more...]
Scientology Financial Crimes, New Zealand Edition
Can you imagine the level of unethical loan activities that must be going on in this "ideal" org to elicit a Facebook posting like this? And can you imagine the trouble Jessica F S Brown has landed herself in by daring to quote L. Ron Hubbard to prove someone(s) in the "ideal org" in Auckland are acting improperly? And there are people responding on FB -- they had better be prepared to hand over some more cash in order to keep the Ethics Officer at bay... Well Well, it didnt take long. Since I wrote this post (but before it was published) this FB message … [Read more...]

Perth IS going St Hill Size And we know that because... they said so! Should be enough for anyone to buy in. Still using photos from the ribbon yanking as there is nothing else happening there at all. As always, it's fundraising, fundraising and more fundraising... Gangsters seems like a very appropriate theme. Still baking cookies Why? Nobody is quite sure. But it seems like a good idea. They send their best OUT of the HGC? Nah, he is renowned for falling asleep in session. So he cannot take paying … [Read more...]

We ARE going St Hill Size Just like the 150 other orgs that havent done it in 30 years. Not even all the "ideal orgs" though some have now been "ideal" for 15 years! But it IS happening in Auckland... Weirder and weirder The reason it's untold is because it's absolutely bonkers... Family Tragedy This is NOT going to turn out well for this family... And Columbus is really rocking -- they are so excited to promote that they have one guy who has done ONE DAY in the sauna... OMG. Stop the presses. The Oscars? More like the … [Read more...]

We have a bit of a backlog, but due to traveling I have been unable to include ALL the funnies that have been sent in over the last couple of weeks. But still, plenty to bring a chuckle here... 2 Years of Nothing But if you're "tired of being ill" they will get you well in celebration of two years of stagnation. No 10X expansion to be seen here... Graduation with a "bonus" How to expand your business. WTF? Successful relationships Scientology's forte of course. No broken marriages or destroyed families in scientology... … [Read more...]
The IAS is Shrinking
Here is a truth you can always rely upon. Nothing in scientology is free. They give NOTHING away, unless it is some sort of loss leader to put you within striking distance of a reg to get more money from you. Thus the "Free Personality Test," "Free Introductory Lecture" and "Free Film." But once you are done with them, you PAY. No more free services -- because that would violate Hubbard Policy. Also part of the bait before the switch is the Free 6 month membership to the IAS. And when it comes to "nothing is for free" the IAS makes scientology org regges look positively warm and … [Read more...]

There are a lot of postulates happening this week... Reg Event When an event is put on by the FSC Office -- you know it is for only ONE purpose. This makes sense... To nobody. Let's make Brisbane ideal -- because we are proud of a dingo fence? You know this would be the same reason Adelaide and Canberra should be ideal. They too are protected by the same fence... Clear the dingos! Come as your alternate identity Wow. Talk about out of valence... No reason for them But as Ron says, letters out = Gross Income. So, we will just … [Read more...]
St Louis Blues – An Epic Ideal Org Scam
In truth, every "ideal org" is a scam -- but some are scammier than others. Boston comes to mind. New Haven and Battle Creek that have sat empty and neglected for more than a decade. But St Louis might be the greatest scam of idealiness of all. In terms that scientologists can really relate to -- it is epic, monumental and watershed. Here are a few relevant details: In 2007 scientology bought a new building that was to become their "ideal org." In 2010, the org ED, Chad Lane, announces in the St Louis Post Despatch * "the nearly 65,000 sq.ft. building is the ideal size for expansion in t … [Read more...]

The "group" above all... This encapsulates "scientology think" in two sentences. Chris Music? Bet it was amazing. Who is he? World and Latino music... And regges. Lots of regges. Always a great way to ring in the New Year. CO WISE Speaks I thought WISE was a "secular" organization? Hell, they go to GREAT lengths to claim the "technology" they insert into businesses is NOT religious. Because that would get them sued... Yet here he is, "Mr. WISE" selling Clear, Dianetics and whatever else at "church" of scientology … [Read more...]

Anything to get anyone to come... Christmas cheer. Kids means adults. Adults mean reg prospects. Celebrate the holidays Give to US. The Chan Man If you didn't see the leaked video of his talk on Tony Ortega's site, you missed something. What a wackadoodle! And scientology apologists claim they DON'T promise superhuman powers... Flag must be desperate -- they are giving away dinner and have some FSM doing their pitches for them. Hubbard is spinning in his figurative grave. The All White Durban event? Not really in good … [Read more...]
