This was sent to me recently. It saddens me to be reminded of just how deeply in the mind-prison my brother and sister-in-law are. Of course, like me, my brother was raised in scientology, and despite not being in the Sea Org, scientology is all he has ever known. They are totally dedicated to the lie that scientology is saving mankind. And even worse, that "ideal orgs" are what is achieving this. They have given a ton of money to the "ideal org" campaign, and even worse, persuade others to do so. All the while they are in the Melbourne ideal org all the time, and their son is the C/S … [Read more...]
An Ideal Org — Waste Management
The "ideal" org in Columbus is putting on a new IAS event. Remember, this is the supposed to be what a scientology organization in its ideal state is like. And this one is manned primarily by Sea Org members sent from Los Angeles. Their event features Freedom METAL Winner Bobby Wiggins -- the very tired and very lame old horse pulled out of the barn to try to earn himself some commissions. And then they pull out the big guns from the Solid Waste Authority and the Lower Otentangy River Watershed! They are going full in on the WTH precept of protecting the environment it seems. This is … [Read more...]
The Continuing Saga of St Louis’ “Not Ideal” Org
An update from some ex-scientologists familiar with the failed efforts to make St. Louis "ideal." You may recall, we heard from them back in 2019 -- which I covered in a blog post St Louis Blues -- An Epic Ideal Org Scam Note: the other two orgs mentioned in that first para are still not close to becoming ideal either... And also remember, this is the organization that boasts they have the ONLY workable "management technology" on earth. Here is the update from our observers. The Church of Scientology bilked $17 million out of Scientologists to fund the St Louis … [Read more...]

We talk about his experiences in scientology, what drove him to escape and his work helping victims of cults today.

Nothing is Happening Repeated showings of "Brief Breath in Eternity Event" -- all have limited seats available (they are showing it in the broom closet). Wonder what their "human rights activities" were on MLK Day? Saving Mankind "a little at a time" -- like REALLY little. Like not measurable. Columbus Org Birthday Not sure what this is about. But you gotta wonder what they have to celebrate? A whole bunch of stranded Sea Org members.... Is Tony Muhammad Invited? Remembering is one thing, he doesn't think the Holocaust was … [Read more...]
Port Elizabeth Racing to the “Finish Line”
It is happening in Port Elizabeth everyone! After 200 days of renovations they are putting in the drop ceilings. That is "racing".... And this is of course moving Africa ever closer to an "ideal" "continent." The other "coastal orgs" (Durban and Capetown) purchased buildings many, many years ago and have done nothing with them. Harare and Bulawayo remain hopeless and the chance of either of them becomingbideal is slim to none. But that’s not even the biggest joke. Their “continent” will be “ideal” without a single org in 52 of the 54 countries that make up the continent. With a p … [Read more...]

2022 - It's Going To Be Monumental Like every other year. At the start its always going to be THE year. Coming up on 20 years they have been working on getting orgs ideal. 35 for St Hill Size. Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner Columbus is the third best org in the world? Columbus. OMG. Are they recruiting homeless people? It would not be the first org to have done that... Guadalajara is going ideal... One of the smallest and failingest orgs on earth is now going to go ideal. Sure.... What does this have to do with … [Read more...]
What’s Happening in Melbourne “Ideal” Org?
Here is the latest magazine from the Melbourne "ideal" org, supposedly the best Class V org in Australia (by a country mile as they say there). Yet this magazine is what is known in the propaganda world as a Nothingburger. I comment on various sections below... The pretty cover (nothing to do with anything inside) makes a promise that inside you will find out all about the "Training Boom" and the "Latest Completions & Success Stories." An important message from the unnamed Executive Directors (why no names?) Of course, as always, "there has never been a … [Read more...]
Where Have All The Humanitarians Gone?
They have been trying to beat the dead horses that are the scientology public for money to buy empty buildings since Miscavige launched his "ideal org" boondoggle in 2003. More than 20 years later, this org has not managed to round up 50 "Humanitarians." I have no idea how many of these people are from Brisbane. Or even Australia. In the bottom left in blue is Trish Duggan. She is most definitely not Australian or in Australia. If this is all they can round up from across the world, it says a lot about the current state of the "Ideal Org" program. It has run its … [Read more...]
