Been busy, so just a bit of a throw-away today. Was just sent the latest edition of the Flag “OT Committee” newsletter (though it contains little “news,” mostly rah-rah imploring people to do something).
Clearly their delusions of grandeur are reinforced each year by the “Maiden” Voyage events. Bubbles Champagne and her team returned fully replenished with hype.
This mightiest of mighty forces has yet to see a done on Miami, Orlando or Puerto Rico ideal org — let alone Tampa org’s CF…. This after a dozen or more “Maiden” voyage celebrations and returning with newfound enthusiasm to git er done. I guess the Force just isn’t what it used to be. In light of the mightiest civilizing influence on earth, planetary clearing happening at lightning speed, OT’s being turned out at a higher velocity than ever who can control the universe and postulate anything into existence, the successful gypsy cabaret just doesn’t seem to be the right “orders of magnitude” (oh, that is OT IX, no wonder….)
I circled some of the more noteworthy points in red.
And BTW, hasn’t Souixie Boshoff been around FOREVER? What is she doing on the “OT” Committee if she is planning on “co-auditing” up the Bridge? She has not even done her Grades and Dianetics? Wow, tht is really something to highlight for these mighty OTs.
Wonder when they are going to send me MY commendation? I get their news out to a lot more people than they do….
It is stupendously ironic that after fighting hard from the start against public characterizations of Hubbard as a science fiction writer that one of the Church’s main activities today is promoting Hubbard’s science fiction.
I’m one of those who enjoyed Battlefield Earth as an entertaining read, though the movie sucked (my barometer on bad movies is when I fall asleep during them, and I did during Battlefield Earth).
I also remember the tremendous cognitive dissonance I experienced when Battlefield Earth came out. On the one hand, the whole agonized future of the planet and every man, woman, and child on it depended on what we do here and now in Scientology. And there you had staff working horrendous hours with little or no pay at breakneck speed to respond to that urgent need, and cutting virtually everything non-Scientology out of their lives to be focused like a laser on that urgent goal. And on the other hand, there was Hubbard … somehow setting aside his grueling work and awesome “researches” to take time to write volumes of science fiction!? Huh?!?
No religion refers to its activities as “products”. Yet that OT newsletter does.
Though one cult is considering its corpses of assassis as saints. Scientology prefers to consider its defrauders-resellers as some sort of saints
“Wonder when they are going to send me MY commendation? I get their news out to a lot more people than they do….” – Hahaha!
Dave,
OT Update:
What did you and your cadre do to ‘pull in’ that raging wildfire up near Crestline, where Shelly has been stashed for a decade?
I wonder if the Jedi church will sue them for using their trademarked term Force?
The Jedi Church won’t sue but the Emperor will. Never underestimate the power of the Dark Side™ of the Force. LOL
The OT ambassadors vanquish the Cylons and create a new civilization? How about a skit in which the OT’s vanquish the Cylons and complete Miami’s CF’s? Or better, a skit in which the OT’s get some people into a few course rooms.
It is simply astonishing that after all these years there are still cult members who believe that Oat Tea levels will give them special powers & abilities above those of “normal” people. If they all weren’t so financially wiped out I’d come up with some other Blue Sky to sell them.
I have special powers…especially when I’m constipated.
OSD, I have even more powers once the constipation ENDS twisted 😈
“Wonder when they are going to send me MY commendation? I get their news out to a lot more people than they do ” that’s right Mike, so funny. For one person in there are at least 999 who quit. So that is a x1000 stat. If Davey reads this he’ going to need quit a bit of a Macallan’s rundown.
Has it ever occurred to any of these people, especially the world-class rug seller Kaye Sparkling Wine, that once they’ve drained their public of any and all money for the purpose of building Idle Morgues, that those public simply can’t afford to go up the Bridge? Therefore, their two key initiatives are set against each other. They can do one or the other, not both. And, of course, we all know what gets priority between those two.
Fortunately for the world, Mighty My Mammy will never finish their Central Files or recruit enough staff, so that move to Ideal is now at a standstill. They’ve saved Orlando and Puerto Rico from being inflicted with an Idle Morgue.
As for commendations every month, that’s getting pretty close to Special Olympics territory. Everybody gets something to encourage them to stay on the treadmill to nowhere.
Since we’ve all decided to give Mike a commendation for dissemination, does he get a special flyer with the Books Make Booms tagline? I’d love to see someone work one up. Then we start e-mailing it to every Scilon we know.
Espi, the question you’ve just asked is what I would ask the staff in my org before I left. What did they prefer, that I buy my Bridge or donate for Ideal Orgs? Didn’t they, or upper management realize that except for one or two whales, their org’s publics could not afford to do both at the same time? The funny thing is not one staff member could or would answer me. They’d would mumble something and/or change the subject and scurry away.
And THAT is an argument that a *old-school* Scientologists, staff and public… keep silently tucked away in the back of their minds … Miscarriage *knows* that others know as well. It’s a big circle jerk and group psychosis to perpetuate that lie, that the “Ideal Orgs” SCAM is working for the individual Scientologist by making the 3rd and 4th dynamic “game” more important than their own enhancement. It makes me sick to my stomach that these other determined people have the task of enforcing the same lies onto others that have bought themselves. It’s a sad tragic picture of wasted lives and potential solely for the aggrandizement of one individual, David Miscavige.
Have any of these people ever heard of masturbation? Oh wait…
For all of you cult members…may the Farce be with you!
Wow … sounds like Ms. Boshoff had some real hot course supes and Qual help on those THREE previous failed efforts on the student hat! My best guess is that the new gat2 student hat has cut each lecture down to about 10 minutes to succinctly cover the point being made and eliminated M9s. Yeah, I guess that makes it easier to get through.
Way off topic, but, little Dylan is due today or tonight. We’re headed for the hospital in just a few…
Congratulations! :>)
Thanks, Tim! He was due on the 13th. I guess he wanted to get this party going early!
Mission Control…the Eagle has landed. All 7 lbs 6 ounces of our precious baby boy.
Congratulations to you and the rest of your family!
Thanks, Mike! Holding him in my arms was unbelievable!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ?✨?✨?✨?✨?✨
Thanks, Mary! A new chapter in our lives!
Outstanding! Spoil that baby rotten and enjoy every moment
Yay! 🙂 Congrats on your new joy.
da MAN, my Dude… very happy.
Please let us know when he says his first word
of comedic relief.
Welcome Dylan. I would be willing to bet OSD cried. Right? I remember the birth of my first granddaughter like it was yesterday. Her dad walked up to her and said “hi, I’m your daddy” and her little hand closed around his finger. It was just awesome.
Sweet! Let the spoiling begin.
We just got back from North Carolina after spending time with Mabel (#18) and her big brother, then raced to see the first born grandchild off to college.
Grandparenthood makes parenthood look like small potatoes and I LOVED being a mom. You get all the fun without the responsibility.
O.S.D. that’s so exciting! 🙂 Such happiness, sending love and best wishes to you & yours and the new little one. <3
When our daughter disconnected from us , she was pregnant. 3 months to go.
We waited , our bags ready , showed up at the hospital .
Giving birth resets priorities , and we were right , she couldn’t let us go.
That little baby saved our family , and we beat the system.
A lot more to the story but nothing important anymore…
Have fun OSD.
Your post made me so happy. Disconnection is so vile, so vicious. But your daughter saw that she needed you guys and that’s incredible. So happy for you.
THAT^^^ is a wonderful story. “that little baby saved our family, and we beat the system.”
What a great story. I’d love to hear all of it.
Oh, and best wishes OSD!
Thanks,CPO!
^^^^^ Thanks for sharing, Marie. So lovely. There is hope!
Great! Life wins again. Live long and prosper young one.
Congratulations on the arrival of Baby Surfer Dude, OSD!
One of the best stories of rising above and against the cult.
Marie, Your story made my day, week, year. Yes, when a baby is born, we want our mom and dad right there with us. You’re right that that baby saved you from disconnection. Thank God you went to the hospital anyway and ignored the disconnection thing. Maybe blood really is thicker than water. Enjoy your entire family!
Woohooo, Good luck OSD. Now you’ll be having a YSD
Hourly updates? Congrats OSD and have as much fun with the new grandbabby as I did with ours!
Life is a beautiful thing, is it not?
Life is bitchin.’
And groovy!
The greatest advance in the Scientology world since August of 1970 when I became involved is most definitely “An enchanting evening of Gypsy cabaret” … yes, of course we did have a sort of gypsy cabaret in those days … but it was never really enchanting …
I attended an OT committee at “my” local org about a year ago. There were only about 8 OTs in attendance in what I think is the 7th largest city in the US. The average age was about 60 and probably an average remaining bank balance of about $500 and no retirement savings. They were all very nice people. Very nice and very delusional.
I think they all would have run out of the room though if I told them that I have been in the middle of OT III for 35 years. My BTs were probably jumping all over them!
Mike Rinder is hereby HIGHLY COMMENDED for his dissemination efforts in getting the Flag OT Committee’s activities known to more people than any other Scientologist on the planet! His dedicated and untiring work in bringing the good news to so many people, needs to be acknowledged, as he single handedly is ushering in a new era of hope for all of mankind!
Very Well done!!! ~ Kaye Champagne
After being informed that Mike is no longer a Scientologist, she told the enthusiastic crowd of fifteen, “this is why it’s vital for us to get all CF filing in PT so this kind of thing never happens again!” as she speedily headed over to the Tampa Org to help them complete A-J.
Mephisto … what you just wrote may very well be the finest post so far in the history of this blog.
Yay Mike! Congrats!
Yep. I am at one with the universe at last.
Well, it’s about time!
I recommend an acknowledgement event coordinated for the next time Mike and his family can arrange to be on the West Coast. I’ll offer my house or I will travel to another location.
The Cult is beyond well done and it may be time to put a fork in it and move on before it simply shrinks to a cinder. Just a thought…………………….
I’m in.
may men be gods and amen
if Jesus was then so are…
one with the universe, we.
Wow, that means a lot to me. I will be sending you a check soon…
I’m with Mephisto, Mike. You deserve many commendations for what you do. And a whole lot more…
Good one, Mephisto. Comment of the week! And Kaye, Bubbles Champaign, looks like a Stepford Wife. The delusional dedicated glare and fake put on super VGI’s, it just smacks of a steady diet of Kool Aid.
Is this an old picture of Bubbles from the 1980s?
Outstanding.
Especially as she’ll be updating A-J… which means Mr. Mike Rinder will still be listed as an OT5 for at least the next 21 years while Tampa tries to update the CF through the letter R.
That’s absolutely hilarious, Mephisto.
These OT Comittee meetings starting to remind me of some faded aloe vera distributor mlm rally.
Gypsy dancing and jewelry to save the World ?
This sets off alarm bells for me
Why? I saved the world once Gypsy dancing while wearing jewelry. Piece of cake…
The attendance is poor. Many, many, many years ago the OT Committees took place at the auditorium, which was almost full.
Per the above photo, now the OT Committee goes to the ballroom and is evident that the attendance has plummeted as much the rest of their OT activities.
Unprecedented down statistics!
Enforce Enforce Enforce. David miscavige is truly delusional if he thinks anyone does these things willingly other than the brown nosers like Kaye Champagne and Kathy Feschback but even brown nosers have their limits (which makes me wonder where Kathy Feschback is these days). And then the OT Ambassador Prgm! What bullshit. I could never get over my religion of “choice” telling me what I HAD to do to be “accepted” as a valid parishioner.
Does she still own the Belaire Ideal Mission? I would only assume she and Matt are miserable these days.
Looking back on the times when Matt strutted around Flog as the embodiment of a true OT, having completed Supa Powerz and being an example of what happens to you as you move up the bridge and amass great sums of wealth, ability and admiration from the great and noble Cee Oh Bee……………. it’s tough when you come in on a hot landing and find that your adoring masses have all left the building!
Kathy Feschback turned over Belleair Mission around 2010 to an Italian lady and went off to get John Travolta’s Ocala Msn off the ground. Then she was an OT Committee mucky muck with Kaye and an IAS reg. I never see her pics with the OTC mucky mucks any more and never see her pics re IAS crap. I know she and Matt have had their financial downs (how the might have fallen) and it is just like the church to chew you up and spit you out once they can’t get any more money out of you. So, I wonder. Their son do go up to CMO so they may just be sitting quietly on the sidelines – who knows.
He is off working on his newest scam in the Bahamas–stem cells. I just saw she was at the Harlem event.
Matt Feschback gave us one of those “achieve financial solvency with OT data” type seminars. We were all impressed by this rich, successful upstat in Scientology deigning to spend a little time at our little org to enlighten little us. I took copious notes, still have them. Apparently, a few years after this enlightening briefing he declared bankruptcy. How I’d love to have him in front of me now. “Er, Matt, was it an MU or something?”
