Some of the claims made about Ideal Orgs defy belief. Even for a cynical bitter defrocked apostate on the fringes of the internet. This is the latest fundraising pitch for the Detroit ideal org. Detroit org has been there for half a century (perhaps more?) and it has created absolutely NO impact. They admit nobody in Detroit even knows what scientology is. They probably know the word and the information from the internet and The Aftermath and Going Clear -- but in the minds of scientologists that means they don't know what scientology REALLY is. They are only aware of the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
As a result of a holiday, flying across country and mostly the deterioration of my gray matter, I mistakenly thought Thursday was only Wednesday and I missed the Thursday Funnies... But never fear -- here they are in all their glory (?) Perth on a roll Nobody graduating anything, but they have brought in a TV show contestant to try to attract some interest Wizard of OH With a special skit to "take our ideal org to a done." Huh? Strange ideas You know what you said has nothing to do with what building you are in? Doesn't even register on … [Read more...]
Journey with Ron
This promotional item was distributed some time ago, I am just getting around to publishing it. Scientology continues to try to raise money for the "L. Ron Hubbard Hall" -- another white elephant that will eventually be paid for by "Sea Org Reserves" as a means of using excess accumulation of funds. But it will be milked for everything possible until then. It is interesting that scientology has continued to use the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, a venue that seats 2300, for nearly 3 decades. No graduating to larger venues to handle the massive growth and increases in scientologists in … [Read more...]
Scientology Free Service
Scientology often claims that it does NOT require money before auditing services will be provided. Anyone who has ever been in a scientology org KNOWS this is a lie. But scientology continues to make this claim, because it makes them sound "humanitarian" and beneficent. It is also one of the lies they foisted off on the IRS, claiming a large percentage of their services were delivered "free of charge." Of course, they did not mention that "free services" are "introductory" services, the ones designed to get you in the door and sitting in front of a "registrar" who gets you to pay for your … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Ideal Org? They quote Hubbard talking about building the FUNCTIONS and use this to persuade people to give money for a building. Nuts. Old People Seminars He is probably too old to audit. Otherwise they would have him in the chair collecting $1500/hour. Become employable... So you can hand over what you earn. Looking very humanitarian... Wonder where these guys found the money? Why Pay? They do these "exclusive, one time only" briefings for free all the time? Everyone knows they are just fundraisers. Victory is at … [Read more...]
Inside the Mind of a Scientologist
This recent email gives some interesting insight into the mind of a bubble-dwelling scientologist. From: Francis Weilgart Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2018 To: YOU Subject: Excellent patter for starting a conversation At Venice Beach on Sunday I went up to some dozens of folks and said, "I have an excellent thought for the day." 9 times out of 10 they wanted to hear it. (My predict on how ready anyone is to receive comm is quite good.) "The most basic art form is a beautiful life... as a work of art." "So you create your life as an art form. More fundamental than music, painting, a … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Armageddon is coming... Only the true believers will be saved. I guess it's lonely then... How is "Target 2" working out for you? Because Target 1 is a big lose. Check out the "Driver License Training" First up speaker. Tough Enough? Or stupid enough? Huh? Something stinks like rotten fish. An empty org... It's the "ideal" scene. WHAT? Come for afternoon tea Stay to be regged. We have to get someone to show up to this place in the boonies somehow... I thought those … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Next time around... Wow, that's some foresight. The Final Moment? Who wants to take bets how long after this final moment they have another fundraiser? It will probably be announced before this one is even held... Food, glorious food Gosh, they couldn't even drag old Michael Roberts along for this apparently. Dallas is so dead they don't want to spend the money to fly anyone there... Nothing says service... Like an empty HGC. Is that a funny light fixture or did they actually send this out with whiteout on it? Foothills … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
Though Orlando apparently didn't make their target for opening last week (what a shock?) they are making up for it with an outpouring of promotional pieces that is impressive in it's volume, if not the content. It's a constant flow of travelers... So...? Well, for one thing, they will NEVER find you. If the travelers are so important (like they are going to go on course instead of DisneyWorld?) why aren't you located anywhere they could possibly see you? I'm giving him a cleared planet But he doesnt care, he's handling "Target 2". Plus, you're not giving … [Read more...]
“More Scientologists” — SMH
Seriously? Could they have picked a creepier image? Just to see, I googled "Funeral home interior" and this is one of the first images on the page: A picture is worth 1,000 words -- and this one spells "ideal morgue" 500 times over. What is so incredible is that this IS what represents "ideal" to those inside the bubble. They have completely bought the redefinition of the term to being an empty building -- even while QUOTING the Hubbard definition. And they have swallowed it so completely they don't even see anything wrong with this poster. In fact, they send it out … [Read more...]
