A couple of recent OTC emails from the PAC area. PAC OTC is focused on fundraising (big surprise) for the "PAC Auditorium" and "Ideal PAC Base" (whatever that is -- "Ideal" has morphed into a new term in the bubble not even trying to pretend it has anything to do with the policy letter on "The Ideal Org" any longer). But this email also includes some stats that are pretty revealing. This is the PAC OTC -- the biggest concentration of Scientologists on earth (they claim in their stats to have 126 active members). And remember, "PAC" consists of "all" the Missions including the winners of t … [Read more...]
No News Is OId News
The big, new news on the Volunteer Minister front, worthy of a paid press release on Christmas Eve, is NOT the activities of the VMs in the Philippines, nor even their feeble presence at the Oklahoma City tornados earlier this year. Nope, its "news" from 2004 -- 9 YEARS AGO. This is the headline from the 24 December PR Press Release under the byline "Karin Pouw." Scientology Volunteer Ministers Provide Help in Desperate Times New Scientology brochure tells how 600 Scientology Volunteer Ministers who responded to the 2004 tsunami changed the course of the movement I will not bore … [Read more...]
You Can Now Buy A “Friend Of Ronship”
Lauri Webster is back hunting the dwindling number of whales they have not yet harpooned and slaughtered for their blubber. Tony Ortega mentioned the launch of the new Lauri Webster fundraising this morning on his blog with a copy of a letter (several people also sent copies of the same letter to me). But I also received another communication containing some further specifics on what the "Super Power" people are now up to. Here is what Lauri had to say: Your help has most definitely accelerated Scientology's speed of expansion!!! And now we have officially launched the next phase to … [Read more...]
Ideal Org Countdown or Down For The Count?
Things are not looking too good in the Ideal Org race in East US. Even though they are sending out this "promo piece" to their public. 8 Orgs with ZERO points? Detroit, Boston and Miami (who have all PURCHASED expensive white elephants), are not even collecting enough to pay for the plywood to keep the windows and doors boarded up. (Remember, this is a POINTS system -- it's not equivalent to the number of dollars collected, except where the figure is 0. That is nada no matter what system it is). All orgs being ideal is truly an absurd pipe dream. And they don't even seem embarrassed to m … [Read more...]
Buy Yourself a Heroship
Things are degenerating quickly inside the bubble. How many more "statuses" can they come up with to use to beg for money? I wonder if these people are going to be presented with red tights and cape? They could then really show off their new found hero status.... Scientology is positioning itself as the comic book religion. Though in the UK at least, there are more people that identify their religion as "Jedi" than there are "Scientologist" so they need to get moving with their straight up and vertical expansion. Hello! We have a special, New Years Event Only, st … [Read more...]
Give Us Money So We Can Deliver The Purif
This is the state of "Ideal Orgs" in the UK. The guy in charge of "Ideal Orgs" is begging for money to set up a Purif in HAPI. Could it really be true that in more than 30 YEARS AFTER the release of the Purif, this org, still in the same building they OWN since 1968 STILL has no sauna? This is straight up and vertical expansion in action. And they are so hard up for donators in the UK they are trying to shame people into "completing before the end of the year" by announcing their partial donation and letting everyone know they will be the next "Humanitarian". Really this is just pat … [Read more...]
Why Now Is The Time To Act
One of our Special Correspondents sent this in and I felt it worthy of a post: This article is being written specifically for those of you who are still "in" Scientology, still actively "on lines" or around in the orgs (although, of course, I want everyone to read it). I know there are many of you "still ins" who read this blog, probably many more than any of you actually realize. I have been exactly where you are right now. And I wanted to share some things that helped me get to a much better place across all my dynamics. There come points in everyone's life where they are fo … [Read more...]
Begging For Staff Christmas Bonuses
This is really quite sad. Apart from exclamation compulsive disorder, this is an IDEAL ORG. One of the big, prominent ones (as opposed to say Cambridge or Malmo or Nashville or LV or Dallas or Padova or Brussels etc etc). It is worth 3 exclamation points that they have 12 scheduled to start GAG II. OMG. Twelve SCHEDULED. I guess they are going to pack out those courserooms built to hold 500 students.... And there are "several people" playing the game to get "5 starts." That is iumpressive. But the really sad part is the begging to please give us money so we can get paid because "he (LRH … [Read more...]
Less Than Enthusiastic Response To GAG II
A report from one of our Bay area Special Correspondents with some perspective on the recent events replayed in the local orgs. Not a lot of detail about the contents of the events, but an interesting overview of the state of these "ideal" orgs and their public. One thing is certain -- I recently listened to an audio recording from one of these events -- the Shermanspeak has reached absolutely mind-numbing levels. Voldemort never utters a simple sentence. Long, run on, convoluted wordplay peppered with "if that wasnt enough" and "not withstanding" and "not to mention" and all manner of … [Read more...]
Sharron Webber Murders The English Language
Ignore for a moment the hype and bs about OT IX and X. This is just an embarrassing assassination of english. I have not changed a word from what I received. I am sure you have seen the release of Golden Age of Tech II by Chairman of the Board RTC and I'm just as sure that you would agree the Bridge has just been given exactly as LRH intended and it is our responsibility to get everyone started as well as get started ourselves. Can you imagine anyone with disagreements to get going on their Golden Age of Tech II line-up. You must realize OT IX and X is next on the horizon and it … [Read more...]
