Cause over the drug scene
Well, now that he has the NY drug scene fully in hand he is around lecturing others on how to do the same.
And don’t forget the commissions.
So many things wrong
Wonder if Sister Nayyirah is going to preach Koran or DMSMH?
How to Clear Ohio
Wow. Maybe they should tell NY and California how to do their state. They even have multiple ideal orgs and they are going nowhere.
Live in-person!
Such an amazing thing. How do they do otherwise?
Well, now we know…
If you’re not really important, you get the Skype version. But he still wants all the commissions.
What does it take?
Checking your dignity at the door.
Kick-Off?
I thought they were double St Hill size by now?
Yeah, a total expert
Been there and done that? And left a trail of financial disasters and people arrested for fraud…
We have a problem
The parking for the “ideal” org isn’t even within walking distance??
We’re getting “closer” to “renovations”
Well, that is a seriously impressive accomplishments
The Amazon Club
Making a better world…
…by showing PR videos to people.
What do you get?
Emptiness? This is what “Dissemination” has been repositioned to be. A tv screen with nobody looking at it.
Money, money, money
That look suspiciously like a graph running along near ZERO. Wonder why there are no numbers?
400,000 miles
Do they think it’s cute to say miles instead of dollars? Like it doesn’t sound crass or something? And just so you guys know, $400Gs isn’t even 5% of what you need.
Separated from the negative aspects of the physical universe
In other words, dove into the bubble
Final?
Only if you define this as “until the next fundraiser is held”
Whenever you read “your role” it means “your money”…
A new pitchwoman
The Qual Sec FSSO? Proof if you ever needed it that they don’t have ANY public on the Freewinds.
Jackson Wayan OMG!!!
The “next” strategic actions? Wonder what the last strategic actions were? Perhaps the total eradication of psychiatry from earth by the year 2000?
We’re getting “closer” to “renovations” – Come as Lil Davey which means you don’t show up at all. Marilyn “Manroe”?
I would like to see an updated photo of the Miscavige clone Potter. Bet he doesn’t look as youthful (nore like Dorian Miscavige’s painting) as he does in the same old photograph they use all the time.
Somebody HAS to have some old Marlboro Miles in a bag somewhere. May I suggest sending them in for the SUPER MEGA MATCH GAME!
We all know how much Scions like to smoke cancer sticks
You know, Espiando’s comment and the Amazon Girls have just given me an idea: why not put out a Sea Org Girls Calendar? A Nude EPF Calendar? How about an RPF Male Calendar with all the guys shirtless, muscles rippling, doing all that Mest Work? Talk about recruitment tools for the SO! Wouldn’t a calendar be a quick and easy way to get the kids to sign a billion year contract? Don’t be shocked, people, I’m only trying to help Dave clear the planet.
I think that would be out 2-D.
Wow. I mean…..this crap is ludicrous.
I can’t believe that real people buy into this.
Lol me either ?
Mike, Thank-you for all of your hard work and dedication. On top of that to keep up with this important blog (best I have found) keeping it fresh and interesting with the Thursday funnies my favorite each week. Amazing how they beg and strong arm for $ at every event.
Those seats in the Lron Viewing Room look very uncomfortable. No one sits on a chair with out a back for more than 5 minutes. Is this why there are no new recruits? No one can sit long enough to be enthralled by life and wisdom of Lron. Or is this a not so subtle test? If you can sit for more than 5 minutes, you too can be in the Sea bOrg.
Soon there will be a fundraising drive for ‘ideal chairs and sofas’. They will only cost 2 million per mOrg and be the most popular item in the Bankruptcy sale.
I’m often intrigued by the come-on language for these seminars and talks. Would any of you actually tell me:
1. How does LRH say to become unstoppable in any activity?
2. What should my stable datum be if I really want to prosper?
I’d really like to know, but without signing up! I figure that with centuries’ worth of CoS experience, or trillions of years’ worth of whole track history, visiting this site every day, these answers should be fairly common knowledge. Thanks in advance!
Simple: Forget the degraded being which you are since birth and BE davey or Elron for 100%!
1. Postulate.
2. Avoid Scientology.
Wow, they showed 7 African Americans and 27 Caucasian people. Mmm…
Did an internet search for jackson wyan. Only thing that shows up are mountains from jackson Wyoming. Even google doesn’t know hin
The only thing I see is his name associated with the cult in DC as a tour guide in 2006? Something about them pushing for new members in DC
One wonders why all the “learning” points in the Tampa OT hatting seminar are formulated as questions. Perhaps they’re actually not achievable? Or real? Guess I’ll have to attend to find out?
Some Thursday Funny observations:
1. When these IAS special speaker events happen, how much commission does the speaker get? If twelve people show up, does that cover the speaker’s gas money? How much money are we talking about, and how does it all work?
2. Did I read that correctly? The Kansas City org is offering prizes, not to the best costumes, but to the best DONERS? Wow, that sounds like so much fun. If you are poor, don’t bother putting any effort into your costume because you have absolutely no chance of winning.
3. Lee Burns 12X’d his finances. 12 x zero is still zero, ya douchebag.
Final milestone! How misleading. If I recall correctly from bubbles presentation thev other day they’re still raising money for an early planning stage. No building, no plan, no budget. What final milestone?
Seems they are making a big push to try to solicit the African American community….since it’s mostly white people, someone probably figured out they need to try and go after other cultures…..I’m sure they will figure a way to go after Latinos too…..such a creepy scary org.
Having been in Scientology for over 30 years it strikes me that Scientology is contracting at a really rapid rate. I can remember when even small events were packed and no one was afraid of getting hit up by IAS regs on a constant basis.
Mike as you enter your second season of Aftermath you and Leah are insuring that Thursday Funnys get funnier but there will be less events for you to talk about as the orgs shrink faster and faster.
Bravo. Can’t wait to see your new season.
I don’t understand the Columbus Org thing, because that Org closed a long time ago. I searched quite a bit but can’t find an Org here (I live in Cols). So, that’s confusing.
I’d like to hear how Gavin explains “How imagination undoes fact”. This is a super-power that scilons have, although only in their imaginations {smirk}
Keep imagining all those empty idle cubic yards of posh being filled to the brim with people, it isn’t going to change the fact – empty and going to remain so, for the duration of the universe, that is until they are sold to someone that will put them to good use.
Andrea D’Agostini — renowned TV personality? In which parallel universe is that? VP of a company that has a 1.4 BBB rating (out of 5) and notable customer complaints filed in ripoffreport.com and pissedconsumer.com. Notorious for scamming their customers with bait and switch. Well, that actually matches up with his favorite group quite well doesn’t it – heh.
What exactly does clearing mean?
Mike, After seeing you on Leah’s A & E show, I’ve become fascinated by this evil cult and would LOVE to see it wiped off the face of the earth (maybe go back to xenu….lol). I lmao every time I see tom cruise and cob bowing down and saluting each other….I think they’re BOTH crazy. I suspected cruise was a loon the first time I saw him jumping like a monkey on Oprah’s couch years ago. Now I know he’s nuts. cob is using him for his money and cruise loves the worshipping he gets…so it’s a win/win for them…..YUCK. I still can’t understand how anyone can fall for this idiocy, but after reading Jenna’s book, I can understand how if you’re born into it, it’s all you know…..thank God she was smart enough to get out. Best of luck for next season on A & E. I for one can’t wait!!!!!
Anyone hear anything about a CNN 10 Pm Sunday feature on Scientology”????
Tony Ortega posted about it a couple of days ago. A guy named Reza Aslan (first time I’ve heard of him myself, but I’m fairly new to this stuff) is doing a series called “Believer”. Here’s the link to Tony’s story:
http://tonyortega.org/2017/03/21/reza-aslan-is-already-being-dishonest-about-indie-scientology-ahead-of-cnn-episode/#more-38648
Hello Mick! I looked into that, should be “interesting” to say the least…..Leah and Mike’s Season II is going to continue to continue to give even more insight into this “organization”. I’ll make the popcorn, bring chips and dips, and you Mick can bring the soda and brews!!
Sounds good to me L Yash! Once they release the airing date for episode 1 of season 2, I’ll be counting down the days on my calendar.
Isn’t poor Gavin Potter ever going to get a promotion?
Never! He’s stuck in an incident from 4 trillion years ago…
Does anyone from the ex-Scientology community ever call these numbers to tell the folks answering the phone to get the hell out of there? Just curious…
If that happened to me in the 20 years I was in the SO, it only would have re-affirmed my commitment. It’s a several sided trap these guys are in and it is so designed that they keep themselves there really. What will penetrate that amount of disassociation with the real world is different for each.
You know, LRH used to write about drugs causing disassociation and how bad they were. Scientology is worse then heroin. Heroin addicts know they are an addict.
True. Scientology is worse then heroin. Heroin addicts know they are an addict.
Re: Kansas City Ideal Org Stars event on April 1
“Come as your favorite movie star. You can be Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, Judy Garland as Dorothy, or Marilyn Monroe in the Seven Year Itch.”
Oh dear Lord, someone PLEASE go dressed up as Leah Remini à la Carrie Heffernan in The King of Queens (or as Lara Campbell in Old School if you’re required to dress up as someone in a movie).
No, I want to go as, like they said in the promo, “Marilyn Manroe”. I’m sure that white dress would go well with my grey beard. Trannies for the win!
Can we go dressed up as a “Suppressive Person”…do they MAKE costume like that…just asking’…
Espiando, roflmao… all will be fine as long as you make it clear that you’re stinkin rich 1st…
I want to go as Spencer Tracy.
LOL! Don’t know what’s funnier — their incorrect spelling of “Manroe” or “trannies for the win!” Hilarious.
Oh darn. I didn’t even notice their misspelling of “Manroe” in the promo Katherine. I couldn’t highlight the text from the image to copy and paste it, so I had to actually type it out in my comment when I quoted them. I guess I ended up correcting it for them.
But with me correcting the spelling of “Marilyn Monroe”, if some OSA or other dedicated CoS folks read my comment, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to discredit me by telling each other how dishonest I am for misquoting them or something……
Espi, you’re the one, and I want you to show up and do Marilyn’s iconic subway grate scene. No one would do it better or funnier. Please, Espi, please!
Oh man, that would be SO perfect. Somebody still on the inside, but wavering, PLEASE do this and go out as a legend!
‘There is never any effort to get along with Scientology Staff Members” so it says….if that is truthful, WHY have so many “staff members” left COS? Auditing to more or less basically “erase those bad little guys that exist within all of us”. Gee, I thought I read what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Life is no bed of roses and it is learning to deal with trials and tribulations in life that makes us who we are. To more or less be told that we need to put aside folks that don’t agree our views & beliefs , to become a one sided society, how boring would that be if every single person on this planet were “like minded”…..I’d be bored to death.
“The courses are unique and will last a lifetime”…WHOSE “lifetime” since COS believes we live many lives….& that means every lifetime lived must have a continued flow of costly multi level auditing sessions for each lifetime lived since our “past lives would be forgotten”, or do I have that wrong? The biological so called “parents” don’t parent at all, as the children are seemingly raised by others while the parents are busy trying to coerce more costly auditing sessions in an effort to keep the “organization’s Cash Cow fed and apparently that Cash Cow is always hungry for more $$$ and is fed very exclusive food while the “staff members” are eating ?????
After paying thousands to clear one’s mind of negative thoughts, to forget and place aside our once beloved extended family members all in the name of………well, I think even we “never ins” got the picture.
“Do they think it’s cute to say miles instead of dollars? ”
To me it sounds like the human traffickers pimping their wares by saying “1 hour = 100 Roses” on their escort sites. A honey trap by any other name….. Just criminals applying ‘plausible deniability’ tech…..
The Amazon Club poster should say:
Look! We have girls! Some of them may even sleep with you if you offer to pay for them to go up the Bridge to Total Freedom!
Because nothing says total freedom like suckering someone else into paying for it
Chee, I’m a little short this week, so, can you pay for me? I promise I’ll pay you back next lifetime…
DM is “a little short too”…..I doubt he’d toss you any pocket change however…..
OSD….at first I lol’d…..then I realized you are on to something! What a great angle….like Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons (“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”)….Scilons should be borrowing from the whales today to be paid back another lifetime!
Very theta thinking OSD!
Chee, ???⚡⚓♥️ Thank you for your comment above. Been there, seen that. ♥️
Please tell me it’s not called the Amazon Club bc they are referring to those women as “Amazons”
No, they aren’t referring to them as Amazons, I’m certain. However, they definitely could test their loyalty to LRH and COB by starting to call them Amazons and ask them to cut off one of their breasts. I wouldn’t put it past them.
I searched the hashtag #jointhewinning team mentioned in the Amazon flyer. Many tweets are from the Nuon Solar Team in The Netherlands, but here are a couple of others:
Cordarious Kitchens @TheRealCord · Mar 22
How are these niggas winning with no results? That’s like Cord telling you that he won the super bowl with no trophy. #JoinTheWinningTeam
MeanAngel @sevenpoundsadie · Mar 11
#ialmostfeelsorry for #Ireland left + right only disagree on #whichmastershould #ruleoverthem ppl #sittingonthefence jus #jointhewinningteam
They may be better off using someone else’s hashtag considering what happened the last time they tried popularizing something using a hashtag. This was the infamous #thestafflife hashtag that, I believe, London Org created. Within a day, Anonymous found out about it and used it to broadcast certain inconvenient truths about what life as a staff member really was all about. They gave the hashtag up pretty damn fast.
12X his “finances”. Um, that could mean that he 12 X’ed his debt!
LMAO
12x$1=$12. He applied enough key principles he can afford an ill-fitting t-shirt. Hmm. Thanks/nothanks.
WTF does 12x your finances even mean. Srsly. I’m not being facetious here. Could they BE any more ambiguous?
I think it means he 12X’d his donations to IAS….. LOL
“How to procure people” and “How Imagination undoes Fact” sound a bit ominous.
How to procure people? Tie them up and put them in the RPF…
The Tampa Org staff all look so young, they look like they are just kids. That makes me feel sad. I wonder how long before they are able to understand what they are part of and break free? I suppose they are the children of existing members. So it will be harder for them. So young and full of promise, their whole lives in front of them, but locked into Scientology mindset and physically… Regraded Being, can you do a strip about them? Also, those uniforms are awful.
I think they may deliberately be trying to give the impression of youth with this photograph, hiding the truth that they probably rely on a lot of grizzled old-timers, including their other apparent current staff recruiting target, retirees. I had a look at the staff photograph on their Facebook page, and it appeared that about half were over 40, with quite a few real white-haired people as well. And Tampa staff may be on the unusually young side at that, because of their proximity to Clearwater and a concentration of younger second- and third-generation scientologists.
Maybe it was this or the military. The military has way better bennies though…
They are most likely 2nd generation Scientologists.
I do wish this was an option back in the day…. Instead of joining the Sea Org I could have joined the hottest HCO ever!
Or are they SO? The uniforms….
Are there Fialkoff twins in Scientology? The best-known male Fialkoff is Bernie, the father of the glamorous Meghan Fialkoff. Ben Fialkoff looks just like Bernie.
Is Bernie now hiding in plain sight as Ben? And where is glamorous Meghan? Surely if her dad/uncle is presenting then she cannot be far.
How many people attend these events? You posted the one from Africa that had twelve people… Some of these places, I can’t imagine there are more than a couple or few dozen cult members, and who would want to show up knowing they’ll be hounded endlessly for money.
asdfasdf, even in the USA there are only about ONE scientologists for every 380 SQUARE MILES.
I guess that is “clearing the USA”
Hmmmm…..I thought it was one cult member for every 675 square miles. Meh. Maybe I’m wrong.
Maybe cubic miles? 😉
