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...]

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...]

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...]

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...]

Scientology code Havingness = making money For posterity's sake Just so there is a record of the foolishness somewhere Scientology code Keys to OT = making money Chan man bio He made it big as a roofer. This is much easier work. Quoting some Hubbardisms to bubble-dwellers and being paid for it. That about sums it up... It's about all they have. Delphian school prepares you... ...to join the Sea Org. More dreams... You would think they would promote people who HAD gone OT? Don't have any of … [Read more...]

7.5 Humanitarian statuses... Isn't necessarily someone with a lot of money. Unless you define not much money as a few hundred thousand. Guarantee you they won't give you a 9X Humanitarian poster WITHOUT any money. Quasi-Cincinnati... ...the new Flag. Poaching people from all over the world. Blazing a trail. Clearing the planet. In Florence Kentucky. Jeanie always had delusions of grandeur. See what I mean? Jeanie's out telling everyone else how to do it. Though she's been in Cincinnati for 20 years and it's STILL not SH Size … [Read more...]

Not surprisingly, this week's funnies are dominated by an apparently endless stream of hype for the "milestone of milestones" - the HSN of cults. Scientology TV A spiritual awakening? They actually think canned Infomercial matter could awaken anyone spiritually? That's how out of touch they are. 150 "confirmeds" That means 50 will show up for the biggest, bestest and most important event EVER! In Chicago. Celebrate with "local non-profits" WTH Fdn, Narconon, CCHR, Youth for Human Rights and the other scientology front groups wanting your … [Read more...]

WTF does this mean? A random chandelier has some significance? Oh I Get It It's time to put a stronghold on the MidWest (with one, still not ideal org, let alone St. Hill size, for 10 states)... Bubbles Branches Out She has made the transition from selling rugs to the "seminar" commissions business. They Got One A single recruit into the Sea Org in Canada is worth sending out a promotional flier about. Wow. The ChanMan is busy Delivering his "body talk"?? And his history lesson (clams on the seashore, Piltdown … [Read more...]
Scientology Expasion is Biggest In History
Michael D splains the expasion which is the biggest in history (and yes, he spells it wrong twice in the opening para). He may be an IAS Freedom Medal Winner but it does not mean he can spell (he probably did the Student Hat too -- that apparently was no help either). Of course, it's ALWAYS the biggest in history... But let me ask you something Michael. What measure of expasion are you using? Certainly not the number of new orgs and missions opened. There were none. Certainly not the number of OT VIII's made. Nor the number of new people into scientology. Or courses … [Read more...]
David Miscavige Leader of Men
Of course, though the STAAD League blocked me from seeing their tweets (though I am the subject of a lot of them...) people send me some of their drivel every now and then. This one came in a little while ago. If you looked up "brown-nosing" in the dictionary you might well find this tweet presented as an example. "Mr." David Miscavige (nobody DARE refer to him as merely "David Miscavige" or heaven forbid, "David" or perish the thought, "Dave") has apparently marked many wayposts on the path to peace (like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant?) and somehow they "pointed" to a better … [Read more...]
