I have kept a few of the "Christmas" promo pieces, but the number of them is ridiculous so I just ignored most. The amount of promotion about scientology pretending to somehow be part of the Christian Christmas "scene" is crazy. As always, they are trying to create "religious image" and look like "real churches." A new civilization... And nobody in Sydney is even aware they exist. Most of them have no scientology at all... The vast majority of countries in Asia have no scientology presence. The graybeards... This is the … [Read more...]

"Christmas" seminars... On how to make money. Only $50... I doubt Kermit would appreciate this But it is so typical of scientology who threaten and sue people for using their trademarks at the drop of a hat "Certified" Happiness Education Specialist Translation: Learn how to make a commission pushing WTH booklets The largest private relief force on earth Swings into action again. All 2 or 3 of them... And they have to ask to get 2 or 3? The largest in a decade... May have to swing by and take some shots. Sure it … [Read more...]
The Non Religious Moral Code
This is an odd one. But it’s another example of the falsehoods pushed out by scientology on a routine basis. Scientology tells people the Way to Happiness is “non-religious” - the book doesn’t even have Hubbard’s name on it except in tiny print on the back. It is something used to gain footholds in society and the theory (like with Hubbard's fiction) is that when people find something good or enjoyable about it, they then discover what else Hubbard has written and want to read that. No matter what the PR statements, the ultimate objective is always the same. Get more people using Hubbard' … [Read more...]

JAW at it again? "Superfan" John Alex Wood elicited a "Fuck scientology" from Eric Idle. Perhaps the Pythons will have something to say about this? Well, not sure about best... But certainly poorest. How sad... His life was a mess. So he moved his family to Columbus to join staff. No doubt with promises of a place to say and good pay. Expect he will reach out to the Aftermath Foundation in about 6 weeks... Wow, what an honor This is actually a thing? Erm, what about "Done Sir"? That was last month. All … [Read more...]

Freedom for all California... One more empty building and California will be free at last! Not a chance ANYONE actually buys this. But the rah-rah seems to impress. No we don't Not a one has EVER come back Nothing quite like "Big Blue" It's ugly, dirty and empty. The celebration may be memorable, but not for the right reasons. They're trying to sound fancy... If you have ever been to the "PAC Canteen" you will understand the crazy of them serving "lobster tail" Scientology Thanksgiving Not only are they NOT providing … [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...]
Be Kind
The people desperately in need of following this advice are scientologists themselves. The lack of kindness demonstrated by scientology in destroying families and relationships is known by the world. It goes on every day. Their approach to anyone that does not agree with them and speaks their mind is equally renowned: Destroy them utterly. Cost them their jobs. Find what they are seeking to protect and threaten it in order to silence them. Kindness? Hardly. When you "discuss the precepts" perhaps you could also discuss how you plan to implement them in your own group. … [Read more...]
More IAS Weak Sauce
It's always so good to see the results of the billion dollars the IAS has collected at work. They found a person who handed a WTH booklet to some kids in the neighborhood and they "stopped fighting." If ever there was a monumental accomplishment that explains "what your donations buy" it must be this one. And this is what they CHOOSE to promote? The best they've got. The ultimate.... It is highly likely that this person who gave the neighborhoods kids a copy of this booklet did NOT get the booklet from the IAS. More than likely he or she had to buy their own copy to hand out. … [Read more...]
What Happened to the Way to Happiness?
Before the "Colombian Miracle" where, according to scientology, distribution of The Way to Happiness reduced crime in Colombia by 90%, there was the Venezuelan Phenomenon -- the Way to Happiness literally "saved the nation." Two of the earliest IAS Freedom Medal winners were awarded their bauble for getting the WTH used by Government agencies that "saved the nation" blah blah. Then Ruddy Rodriguez and others followed, each having accomplished incredible feats of distributing TWTH to even more miraculous results. I would bet there have been more IAS medal winners from Venezuela than any other … [Read more...]
Boasts of Scientology Part 2
The next two pages of the Freedom propaganda mag, following yesterday's post. The claims are just as absurd. 210 countries are home to scientology organizations and other assorted nobody knows-what-they-are things. The fact is that scientology has official CHURCHES OF SCIENTOLOGY (except in countries where they are forbidden to claim they area church) in a grand total of 30 countries around the world. This is the same 30 countries that they have had official churches in for the last 20 or so years, with the additions of Ireland and Taiwan. They try to fudge it by adding on some … [Read more...]
