Bring the kids So we can reg their parents. You may have heard of a “honey trap” — this is a "candy trap." A Treasure Hunt Guess whose treasure is being hunted? And filmed by SMP! I envision... The problem is you think a building is what will make this happen? Because that’s what they told you... perhaps you should check out Jobur or Pretoria and see just how “with a bang” things are going there. This is convincing... Not really. “People” actually won’t be impressed. Though the outfits are pretty arresting. Shocking gene … [Read more...]
The Irony of Ideal Boston
Boston was the org spoken of in such glowing terms by L. Ron Hubbard in LRH ED 339R-1: They are proof -- way back in the early 70's (and written about by Hubbard in 1982) that a new building has nothing to do with expansion. Since Hubbard wrote thus in 1982 there have been exactly zero orgs in the world that have achieved St Hill size and remained so. Yet Hubbard claimed Boston had done it in the 70's. And they did it in the OLD building they had on Beacon St. They SOLD that because that one was not good enough (seemed like it was fine for Hubbard?). That was about 10 YEARS ago … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it today. We all have much to be thankful for. Including the fact that we don’t have to treat anything we read here seriously. Remember most of those still inside the bubble today with compassion and understanding. Many of us have been in their shoes - pretending to be happy and thankful for the only thing that is truly important in this universe (LRH and the tech). Yikes. Hey why not move back there then? If LRH says this is where the next great civilization will spring from there, how come you're not there? You are giving money … [Read more...]

John Oliver on Scientology It's an ongoing joke that makes me laugh week after week... I honestly think this is enough to fulfill the quota for Thursday Funnies all alone. But people have sent me all sorts of other things so I will include them APU. But if you have not yet seen this, take a few minutes and watch. AC/DC I am SURE they would LOVE to be associated with scientology. Rock N Roll is here to stay Apparently this is the new theme for fundraising? Superheros are out. Rock is in. But if this is all they could round up for an Ideal … [Read more...]

Massive IAS campaigns... ...that have affected thousands. Impressive eh? He also is promoted as a Class VI but there is no GAT Class VI??? Daring. Bet you have to pay for this... They might let you in for free, but the regges won't let you out.... Arhus ideal org Wouldn't you be better off trying to get some people through their OT levels? You already have an ideal org down the street and a bunch in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Israel and Spain. And yet you're empty and your stats are … [Read more...]
Another Sad OT Fail
There are so many things wrong here it is hard to grasp them all. This woman was in the SO -- the LRH Host on the Freewinds. She had to leave "temporarily" to take care of her dying mother? If she is temporarily taking care of her dying mother then why isn't the Sea Org helping her to stay alive? Hey, Sea Org, what about the quote she is using? "Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble" .... Apparently the SO has completely deserted her. Dying Sea Org members are invariably seen as "out- exchange" distractions to the humanitarians of the Sea Org. And let's not forget, … [Read more...]

They're going all out... It's an ideal Africa coming for sure. Just check out these amazing fundraisers. A monumental moment... ...when they demand you pay up. A catered meal will be served... You know you are expected to pay after that. Get the latest news... And drilling to get you up the Tone Scale -- which happens BEFORE you give the money. It's all downhill from there. Well, if THAT'S your goal... You should really save your money. Only the brave will survive... Actually, only the brave would … [Read more...]

NOI bringing calm... ...if it wasn't for those insane rants by Louis Farrakhan that TonyMo keeps defending. Wonder when scientology is going to cut their losses on this? Oh wait, they would have to admit they AREN'T the best judge of people on the planet... They're starting the IRS pitch already... Join the dolphins? This has to be a mistake. David Miscavige declared war on Winter the Dolphin in Clearwater. He hates dolphins. It must be Halloween... Coming out of the darkest shadows is the old GO operative who helped … [Read more...]

The most important announcement in history... ...until the next event. And the announcement? "We need more money." We will pay you $12 an hour... or give you a "very upstat and meaningful commendation" A message from Carol Nolan I was the Deputy Command Officer Internal of OSA International for many years. Now I am doing fundraising in Africa. My career path seems to be on the decline... where did I go wrong? Is there any hope? Or is my next stop gig booker for the Jive Aces? He's back! Well, that is a relief. It was only … [Read more...]
“Astonishing Accomplishments” at “Magnificent” IAS Weekend
Scientology is patting itself on the back following the 34th annual IAS event. A few morsels of mulleted magnificence to set the scene -- and this was just the preamble to get to the actual avent: East Grinstead appears as if from a storybook, a medieval marketplace... ...blissfully tranquil ...wave upon wave of attendees, their anticipation abounding. ...the crunch of stone and gravel below boots and high heels echoed down the drive, dusk turned to night and an evening of wonder was now poised to begin. It was the typical stream of adjectival excess that sprang forth in the strange … [Read more...]
