Here is the hype from the IAS: So, you see, the IAS takes credit for this program "reaching over 200 million people per year." They make a big show of "sponsoring the distribution of 500,000 booklets at the Super Bowl". But this is a lie. The number of people distributing the booklets, according to their photo, was about 25 (that is all they could muster in a city with an "ideal" org??) - including children. That is 20,000 booklets per person. Even someone with Super Powers or who was complete cause over life from running around a pole couldn't manage that. This is also how they come … [Read more...]
The IAS is Shrinking
Here is a truth you can always rely upon. Nothing in scientology is free. They give NOTHING away, unless it is some sort of loss leader to put you within striking distance of a reg to get more money from you. Thus the "Free Personality Test," "Free Introductory Lecture" and "Free Film." But once you are done with them, you PAY. No more free services -- because that would violate Hubbard Policy. Also part of the bait before the switch is the Free 6 month membership to the IAS. And when it comes to "nothing is for free" the IAS makes scientology org regges look positively warm and … [Read more...]

The "group" above all... This encapsulates "scientology think" in two sentences. Chris Music? Bet it was amazing. Who is he? World and Latino music... And regges. Lots of regges. Always a great way to ring in the New Year. CO WISE Speaks I thought WISE was a "secular" organization? Hell, they go to GREAT lengths to claim the "technology" they insert into businesses is NOT religious. Because that would get them sued... Yet here he is, "Mr. WISE" selling Clear, Dianetics and whatever else at "church" of scientology … [Read more...]

Anything to get anyone to come... Christmas cheer. Kids means adults. Adults mean reg prospects. Celebrate the holidays Give to US. The Chan Man If you didn't see the leaked video of his talk on Tony Ortega's site, you missed something. What a wackadoodle! And scientology apologists claim they DON'T promise superhuman powers... Flag must be desperate -- they are giving away dinner and have some FSM doing their pitches for them. Hubbard is spinning in his figurative grave. The All White Durban event? Not really in good … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]
Volunteer Minister Vultures
Of course, with the tragic fires in northern and southern California, David Miscavige's self-proclaimed "largest independent relief force in the world" has sprung into immediate action... Fundraising. What else but a healthy dose of "disaster capitalism" to rake in some more dough as tens of thousands have been evacuated, countless have lost their homes and families have lost loved ones. I know the reg vultures like Jeff Pomerantz never give it a thought -- but do the people who give actual money to the IAS ever wonder how come the money they gave BEFORE isn't being used for … [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...]

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...]
