This fundraising pitch highlights a truth about scientology they try so hard to avoid. Far from "taking over the planet" and "Clearing Earth", they are in fact going backwards. A whole promotional piece to highlight the wonders and importance of South Korea. There has NEVER been a single mission, let along scientology church in this nation. Just as there has not been in China. 1.5 billion people and not a single mission. Another billion in India and not a single org (half the missions that previously opened there have closed). In fact, in all of Asia and the Indian subcontinent there … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
Look out world! I guess this is a new scheme for an event announcement. Buying a building in DC for Applied Scholastics. Maybe they can get Hanan Islam out of jail to do for this program what she did for Clearwater and Los Angeles. Plagiarism "Off the crossroads of the world" is for the Freewinds, it's not supposed to be a good thing for a Class V org!! And "you can have it all" is Melbourne's pitch. Get original Auckland. Mark Bunker where are you? Wonder who they will try to throw out of "their" block party? This is research? "apparently" … [Read more...]

This is really inspiring... Dont have time to do a real posting today. Just a bit of light entertainment. More hype, that actually says NOTHING.... … [Read more...]
That’s Some Ideal Mission
The big push to "go ideal" is happening at the perpetually moribund Foothills Mission. There is in fact no such thing as an "Ideal Mission" -- there is a policy by Hubbard called "The Ideal Org" which is what is used to name the concept Miscavige has foisted off of raising money to buy and renovate a new building for an old church. In fact, the "ideal orgs" don't resemble the Hubbard policy. But there isn't even a policy about "Ideal Missions" so this is even more squirrel... BUT, it's being touted as a new fundraising cause: Now for the big reveal of what is going to become the … [Read more...]

Huh? All you know from this poster is they will be asking for money... The point being? Give us your money of course. Better off sticking with the first 5 words After that, it's just about taking your money. It's vitally important news You need to give us more money. Not so much... But REALLY concerned about whether downtown Clearwater has any future at all How to be unstoppable Brought to you by the people who cannot get anyone to come to their ship even though it's the only place in the universe where the first … [Read more...]
Scientology Hype
It's Maiden Voyage season again -- "A celebration so spectacular it will take your breath away" -- and the hype-o-meter is peaking. Actually, it's that time of year David Miscavige makes a scuba diving trip to the Caribbean and "the elite" (used to be OT VIII's only, but there are no longer enough of them with enough money to fill the ship) are told to attend to listen to 4 events "up close and personal." Each year it is the same pattern. They start with an event recognizing the "amazing work" of the "OT Ambassadors" doing crazy fundraising events, along with some false stats they … [Read more...]
Make Money (So We Can Sucker You In)…
Companion to the post of a couple of days ago Make More Money (So We Can Take It)... This is another twist on the "prosperity doctrine" that informs everything in scientology. Creflo Dollar and his prosperity theology have nothing on scientology. This one is a new approach. Offer to teach "wogs" how to make money, and use that as bait to get them to do a Comm Course! Scientology: It's all about the money. … [Read more...]

Only $25... ...to find out how an episode on the CSN came about. Half price status... Always a good buy. And what was the "Victory"?? They still need to "ensure" they complete their construction target. So the victory was convincing people to show up for yet another fundraiser? Are you ready? They're still getting ready? Surely they are now overwhelmed with people flooding into the orgs (haha) Part Time $1000/week... Yeah, sure. If you buy this line you deserve everything you (don't) get. Not very convincing Something … [Read more...]
Make More Money (So We Can Take It)
Scientology, neatly summarized in poster form. The world of scientology revolves around money. Scientology organizations rape and pillage to get their hands on every dollar possible. Individual scientologists constantly struggle to hang onto enough that is not sucked into the religious vacuum cleaner to be able to live. Then a few of the money-worshippers actually make THEIR money by convincing other scientologists to pay them for telling them how to make enough money to survive. It's like the old illustration of the little fish being eaten by the bigger fish … [Read more...]

AOLA 500 500 what? 500 people left in LA who will admit they are scientologists? Free food = fundraiser Sounds a-m-a-z-i-n-g And there should be thousands who have been watching right? You want to bet they don't find a SINGLE person who knows the CSN even exists? It's the old problem... People don't buy into the answers to all of life because the building isn't "upstat and inviting" enough. Exclusive briefing This briefing has been being done every week for years. How exclusive is it at this point? Especially when … [Read more...]
