Likely it will be omitted…
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of people who have been PROMISED exactly this, but because they no longer goosestep in lockstep, their names don’t appear on the plaque in the building they gave a great deal of money to purchase. They are prevented from even entering “their” building, but of course, they don’t get their money back. And by the time they get around to opening these things, there will be hundreds and thousands more long gone… Maybe they should put up a chalkboard listing the names rather than an engraved plaque.
PS: Every month has a new announcement “We are completing by….”
Reminiscent of this:
Join the fun in CF!
This is included specially for Tony DePhillips who made a wonderful post on Facebook about Thanksgiving and “going to the org”…

Bruce Wiseman getting in on the financial “tech” gig
Remember this story on Marty Rathbun’s blog? I bet he doesn’t let on to his little problem with a cease and desist order on his financial scams with offshore accounts?
Human Rights Director for Africa
Have you ever gotten one of those emails from a Nigerian Prince?
“All” Are Invited?
Really? All? Even me?
Another thriving “ideal org”
They actually put this out to promote what a great even they had. Freedom Medal Winner, IAS shill and Tom Cruise brother-in-law Greg Capazorio flew there for this event and they mustered no more than 30 people INCLUDING STAFF. 15 public and 15 staff.
And they are proud of it!
Another thriving mission
Moorpark (LA area) at 5pm…
Really weird
The person who sent this to me labeled it “child abuse.”
“Mighty” Miami?
It seems the answer to “What Does It Take?” is a Cowardly Lion, a Tin Man, A Scarecrow and Dorothy.
And where is the Wizard of Oz?
Behind the green curtain pulling the levers to make the world think he is all powerful, lording over a massive empire.
Regraded Being
Well, they saved on food as I counted maybe 7 peeps eating……well leftovers after a week or 2 are just not that good. As the numbers dwindle they are going to have to clone people. I mean the pics are to a point that you can count each and every being in the room. Or maybe these are the peeps that went to Scientology School and so they really can not do MATH so there could be 30 or 300, who knows. What a bunch of horse____! please, plant roses around your building and use it there. It would make a really beautiful picture.
Is that Tony Ortega helping with the Miami Org central files?
The Regraded Being comic is wonderful. Powerful and moving. It really hit me, and is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Regraded Being must have been around Scientology for a long time because he/she depicts forgiveness that Scientologists typically have to extend to each other. Forgiving unpaid loans and bad behavior- sounds familiar!
Someone ought to tell the man in the foreground of the IAS photo to take his hat off at the table. Hello.
Margaret, he’s fully hatred.
Another good one Michael – may I use that in future?
I actually meant hatted.
Nah. I think you were right the first time.
The folks at the IAS Thanksgiving Event sitting around that table don’t look like they’re having a blast. That photo was obviously not staged. like the one above. And how disgusting to graft the IAS onto the concept of Thanksgiving. Ugh.
Better get ready for Christmas then.
I got an envelope today from the IAS today that says “Give the gift of Freedom” on the outside with a red bow around the IAS emblem and then inside, “Give mankind the gift of freedom and up your IAS status today”.
They will attach themselves to anything in order to make money. Even Jesus’s birthday, and Jesus is a figment of the imagination according to Karin Pouw.
I first read the ” “Give mankind the gift of freedom and up your IAS status today” as Up your i-ass. Lol
What is it with the Church of Scientology? 64 years in business and they still don’t have their Central Files organized anywhere on the entire planet?
C’mon! What group with such vaunted “Admin Tech” can’t organize files their own files in 64 years?
They were deliberately destroyed and bypassed for “quick” successes i.e. Reg scams.
J,
seems you never had been on staff. The CF Officer is the almost lowest position in an org. Like mimeo officer (maybe they still have those mimeo copy machines). The CF Officer is typically considered mesty, nuts or worth nothing staffmember. As no one wants that post usually is left empty or the CF officer can do what he wants, as he is an ethics particle anyway and no one wants to talk to him. But the real outpoint here is why they still have paper central files.
Um…because they’re still stuck in the 50s?
Thanks for the Ack. :+)
The Fort Harrison party seems a little off; pot luck” deserts?
I like the Fort Harrison OT committee flyer. Diner and music – but- bring your own desert … to share! Special acknowledged for deserving members (only).
We are all invited, Oh yeah!
I’ll pick you up at 6 deElizabethan.. I’ll bring desert for what would you say will be there 10? Oh shoot I’ll make it an even dozen. OMG The Flag Band is going to be there.. Whoop de do..
I am going to be speaking ( Surprise) Shhhhhh.. so I will postulate a great parking space.
Thanks Baby, I hated to to go alone! How about bringing chocolates … Ahha… M & M’s would be Perfect!
How anyone in December 2014 can take these ‘funnies’ seriously is beyond the beyond. Either they live underground in a windowless electricity less room or the koolaide kancer is already irreversible.
I have never understood what exactly the ‘Filing Party’ concept is all about. Do they not have staff enough to return files to their rightful place each day? That is what a high school student working from 3 to 5 is for…at least in my day. And, if these are files created by auditors, aren’t they quite confidential…how is it okay for just anyone to show up, eat pizza and (perhaps) read aloud from them? also too, with no evidence of activity in the orgs and missions, why are the files ‘out’ in the first place?
Could someone please explain! it’s just my curiosity at this point, but every time I read the term ‘file party’ I just can’t figure it out!
also, are the floods being reported in Hemet, CA near The Compound?
Aurora, CF or Central Files aren’t confidential auditing folders. They’re mostly correspondence from the letter registrar to people who have bought something. Looks like they’re backlogged.
I have to confess here about the file party. I wrote the original MO’s on organizing a CF using volunteers, getting the pizza, getting a color code system on folders and rolling shelving. I should have wrote a program on destroying all folders that were not active for over 10yrs. this would have
cut the CF to 50% at one fell swoop.
CF files contain written communication between the org and a client (PC or student) as well as any invoices the client has generated at the org and a grade chart to mark the client’s bridge progress. CF files are not the same as PC files, which contain the “confidential” materials from auditing sessions. Material gained in sec checks probably goes to a client’s Ethics files, which is kept at the Ethics Office in HCO and is not confidential, although access is restricted and you probably won’t see an “Ethics Filing Party” advertised anywhere. Yet.
Let’s see… What to do with all those files? A ha! There’s a toilet paper shortage in Venezuela. Mr. Whipple says, “Don’t squeeze the goldenrod!”
Thanks, folks. You’re a great crowd. I’m here all week. Try the veal.
Excellent, grasshopper! Good use of an old commercial. I, too, will be here all week. You’ve been a great audience! I couldn’t have done it without hgc 10. Remember, speak softly but carry a big Schick…
And I don’t want to hear any moaning!
Thank you all for your info!
CF’s are ALWAYS a mess…Why? Because those doing the filing are the products of a scientology education…the alphabet is out gradient for anyone who does not have a university education…
In defense, they are just a mess because they have zero priority. Even though Hubbard claimed that CF was the source of org income, in a Thursday to Thursday world there has never been time to put this into practice. However, the CF filing project is an excellent way to get publics involved in making an Ideal Org, and is used to a) maintain the illusion that progress is happening, b) get the public and especially the Clears and OTs in to the org so they can bee seen as active and supporting, and c) fleece the hell out of the guilty rest who have other fish to fry.
If it isn’t funds, it isn’t Scientology.

Cilantro, REALLY hgc! 😛
Lordy, Bruce Wiseman has to be one of the most boring people I’ve ever met. Always talking about the Bilderbergers and the whoevers and the global financial conspiracy. I’ve seen him at more than one social function, and he usually ends up at a table holding forth on all that crap while a few clams sit there wide-eyed and think they’re getting the “inside scoop” or some crap. Really makes ya wanna pull your hair out.
That comic strip is hilarious. Staff almost outnumber public? How many staff hid? Great jokes and snark from the commenteers today.
The clampire is no longer preaching to the choir, they are preaching to the organist.
Soon they will be preaching to the dark and echoing halls of empty churches.
That time is now DollarM except the cherches are gone ……. having been replaced by Cult seyonces.
HEY! That’s an insult to the mentally challenged!
Hey Surf’s Up. Yes upon reflection the mentally challenged probably would take offence. How about the mentally deceived? Same sort of phenomena – haven’t got a clue what they’re doing but do it with such devotion.
Sort of like volunteering for the gestapo because you dig leather.
You captured one of my phone calls Regraded Being! haha! This is just more useless activity having absolutely nothing to do with the wins of pcs/preots and well trained auditors. The current church is completely disconnected (oh the irony) from the original aims of Scn, to actually help another human being. Why don’t they just collect used clothing, or give sandwiches to homeless people, to pretend to be practicing Scn. This is such a parody of people pretending to be charitable, but all the money being funneled to someone living like a sheik and psychotically dabbling in his wet dream empire. In dramatic, sharp contrast, I’ve heard several really beautiful wins recently, from people who are getting real auditing from a real auditor, on their own determinism, on their own terms, in their own time, for their own reasons, with no stress and fair money. What a world, what a world!
I am putting several people through their Solo Course and it never ceases to amaze me the rubbish they learned in “latter day” Academies! Actually the JWs could teach them how to audit and solo audit better than the current Church. Still, we’re getting there. They can recognize an F/N now, they don’t interrupt the PC whilst he is cogniting and are quite happy that they can ask questions which are then referred to HCOBs for the answers, only thing is we couldn’t find where it states about “F/Ns” having to “swing 3 times”. Anyone know a reference on that? (Ha!)
Oh! They can also think about something without being interrupted by a “supervisor”. All-in-all we’re all having a ball – removing the balls and chains imposed by the Church.
Fantastic Foolproof! I have someone staying with me soon to do OT3 with a super nice indie and another person starting solo. I have had several conversations reorienting people to the fact that, the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics equation, does NOT mean doing what you’re told. The shock and awe when they see that THEIR dynamics, their viewpoint, their experience, their decisions and their priorities are IMPORTANT and are the only things that should be of interest, in that equation. They have permission to run their own lives!!! It sounds ridiculous but they’ve been twisted into a knot, trying to do things from a point of view, other than their own, and extorted by denying bridge access. Memo to anyone attempting to make spiritual gains: INTEGRITY IS EVERYTHING.
Btw……I grilled someone at flag one time on where the 3 swing madness came from. What I was told is one description, where LRH said “back and forth, back and forth, back and forth”. He said it 3 times so some idiot took that to heart and then, the person I spoke to, and others were repeatedly crammed on the definition of “rhythmic”, referring to waves of motion, which reinforced the 3 concept. Basically, you were forced to comply. Pure verbal tech, pure idiocy and the worst of suppressive acts.
This all comes about as a result of the literalness of fundamentalist scientology.
An FN is described as a “rhythmic sweep” of the needle.
In order to achieve something being “rhythmic” there has to be more than one movement, as by definition, that cannot be “rhythmic” because to be “rhythmic” there must be more than one time period, otherwise it could be “not rhythmic.”
Literalness is ingrained in scientology — and so it is no oddity for this to be implemented as a great “breakthrough” in “standard technical application.” It is the combined application of “KSW” with word clearing, and voila, insanity ensues. (I wonder how many have tried to resolve how you could have an “instant FN” on an assessment and been sent to “word clear your materials” until they just give up and say “I understand it now” and walk off with less brain cells than they came in with?
I’d like to give Dave a rhythmic sweep of my right foot to his derriere. Call it a contact assist.
These dress up charades they have at their fundraising events makes me gag. That tin man looks positively horrible and looks like he just walked off a horror movie set.
A common problem they have is that they never know when to stop doing something. It’s a sad state of affairs to rerun their so called “successful actions” over and over ad infinitum. It boggles the mind to think what these staff members do during their shift. I was going to say work but I just can’t stretch my imagination that far.
An org these days is looks like nothing more than a meeting ground for the mentally challenged. Save the world indeed but I’m sure Dorothy and the Tin Man have a really good plan, just as long as it doesn’t involve applying Scientology, they’ve never been allowed to do that!
Over at the Bunker Scientology just got some egg on its Hollywood face. Maybe it was poop. Your call.
Brian, I’d like to think it’s a bit of both. The cult can NEVER have enough egg or poop on its collective face.
Surfer Dude……….Ha ha ha!
Oh please, a historic win would be toilet paper in the bathrooms.
No shit.
Damnit, Michael! STOP BEATING ME TO THE PUNCHLINE! I know you can read minds with your Super Powers and you just stole that from me! You ought to be ashamed of yourself! As an OLD Surfer Dude, you know my mind is failing and you took advantage of me. And that’s no shit!
Both of you go to your corner. It’s Dave shit! We’re not denigrating any more regular shit around here and besides, thats why there is no toilet paper anymore….. acetone is the only thing that cuts Daveshit so any regular TP is useless in an ideal morgue.
I stand corrected, Coop! I like the acetone thing. It cuts right to the point…
First off, how is it child abuse if the guy playing with the little tyke (in a snowsuit???) and their lookalike ez-bake ovens?
http://wgst303.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/boy-friendly-easy-bake-oven/
Secondly, how is it that the most able beings on the planet with an entire series on admin are incapable of getting their central files in order?
Because LRH said the route to Gross Income is Central Files – so of course they do the opposite of HCO Policy and ask for “donations”. Squirrels!
That is quite a story from Mr. Yarsiah. And his solution to handling such atrocities is the IAS?
He’d better get a gun and hunker down cuz the IAS doesn’t give a crap about him and his plight.
The IAS would turn and run when faced with such things as mentioned by Mr. Yarsiah.
I dare say Mr. Yarsiah that you have more guts than any exec involved with the IAS (that is if your
story is true).
Regarding the kid – my those snot-nosed Flag MAAs are getting younger every day
Hahahahahahahahahah! Nice! Stupid scientology! Still laughing! However, what if they really are setting up that little kid for the SO? I would not put it past them…
Hell OSD, I’d put money on the fact he has already put his x in the box! Daddy likely got a commendation for it and then got routed to the MAA cause he didn’t plunk down the kids bridge as well for his project prepare.
Hey man, one promo misspelled a name…they wrote Patrick Valtin and should be Patrick Vulture. Fits him much better.
NO! Say it ain’t so, Mike. Did someone really print that sales seminar promo with the red misspelling underlines? I can’t wrap my brain around that level of tech illiteracy.
These are the kind of mistakes that one can make when they are severely sleep deprived. Pity the poor bastard who had to write this.
No, this was generated by Google. Shows you how incompetent they are.
Well, I’m sure I speak for the rest of the ex-es here to say how saddened we all are not to have our names emblazoned on your honor roll. It’s what we all got into Scientology for. I guess we’ll just have to somehow get through our collective grief and brave another day.
I gave $25 to the super power building once and felt griefy about that.
I have been able to recover and brave another day.
🙂
You gave only $25 and they didn’t sec check you? Wow! I figured you’d be ethics bait for that! Way to go, Potpie!
I gave SP $1000 and all I want is a semi-colon somewhere on the building. Don’t worry, I’ll know its for me.
Michael, I’m not nearly as strong as you are, my friend! I wish I was. You see, I’m completely devastated not to have my name emblazoned on their honor roll. My grief knows no bounds. My eternity is gone. What have I got to live for? However, if I can’t get on their honor roll, I guess I’ll settle for Kaiser roll, heated with some butter on it. But, it just won’t be the same…
I feel ya OSD.
OSD, “But, it just won’t be the same…” True that. The kaiser roll is so much better.
I guess we’re all on a roll.
It was, Valerie, it was! But my sadness at not having my name on the Stupid Shit’s Honor Roll, still haunts me…
I think I’ll purchase several 12 1/2 hour sessions. Certainly that should cheer me up!
Michael!!! Stop sealing my humor! You’re giving a complex, complex!
Sorry, but can’t go against my basic nature. I’m a trained to thief.
OSD, 12 1/2 hour sessions are supposed to Clear you up not cheer you up. Back to the word clearer for you for a 12 1/2 hour wait for a 3 swing f/n on the word Clear vs. cheer.
MM: “I’m a trained to thief” ROTFL. You’re also a trained to Scn grammars.
Michael, you’re good. Very good! Arrrrrgggg, but tis good to be Scottish!
Michael – “I guess we’re all on a roll.” Or a Roll-Back? Or a “roll-up” as we can’t afford cigarettes anymore? Or just a bread roll fro breakfast?
Wow, Brucy woosey is still on 7? Probably starting to show some stress cracks!
Yo Bruce…
Regarding your “Key LRH data on how to prosper financially.”
and “Why some people seem to expand effortlessly and how you can too”
I was thinking of calling Erica at 323 953 3300 because OSD and I wanted to come and share our experience. You see we wanted to offer some help and perhaps give a success story or two. And we will mention COB and all that because he really is source on how it came to pass. Whadayathink?
Seriously, Bruce, we’re on the level! Honest! You see, Coop and I really want to contribute to the fantastic growth of this church. Between the two of us, we have stacks of Success Stories! In my past I was a motivational speaker and can really whip up a crowd into a frenzied mass in no time! Moreover, with all of Coop’s years in the church, I’m not sure there’s anyone more qualified to speak. Just give us a shot! I’ll even bring beer so we can do with a light buzz! I mean, there’s NOTHING like talking to scientologists with a light buzz on. What have you got to lose? COB will absolutely love it!
I am totally behind this idea and would pay to see it. 🙂
I know, huh! What a riot that would be! And…Coop and I could actually pull it off!
Actually, NOLA Girl, having you come with us would make it even better! Oh the mischief we could get into. Enough beers and we’d storm the L.A. Idle Morgue!
One of the real joys I get from reading this blog is looking over the lists of members who are still contributing to the IAS scam and NOT seeing anyone I know. There used to be people I knew on those lists, but I haven’t seen one for over a year. Maybe they are not fully out yet, they might just be ‘under the radar’. Maybe they aren’t on those lists because they are completely broke. That would be unfortunate, but better than still being in and actively supporting the cult. Not seeing familiar names gives me great hope.
Lots of fleeced grey hair at those events. The young uns are definately out of the picture as they would simply attend as eaters.
The young ones are in the Sea Org.
Coop, can you imagine us still being in??? And going to these events? Holy E-meter, Batman! I’m just so glad we’re out! If you were still in I would miss all of your great posts!
Ha Ha, scientology! Stupid cult!
Does anyone get promo from SFO?
I’d love to see how much my ex is donating, especially since this time around none of it is my $…tee hee..snicker, snort, gafaw.
If you read the fine print (zoom in) on the Fort Harrison OT Dinner invite, it says specifically “Not Mike Rinder.”
I wonder who the celebrity speaker is going to be. Well, whoever it is, Mike, you will be missing it and no one cares… 🙂
The “celebrity”speaker is Bridget from the IAS talking about … well, you know. Hope the pie is good.
Wow, Margret! Your eye are REALLY good! That last line was impossible for me to read.
The OT Committee Christmas Party invite is a doozie. You get dinner, live music, songs, and a change to exchange gifts. All you need to do is bring dessert. So where do the gifts come from?
The gifts are returned library donation books. They got some wrapping paper and there is now a large pile of “Ron” series waiting for the attendees to pick up. It’s a cheaper solution than paying someone to come take them away to be pulped.
LOL. Mike … not to mention it makes sense 🙂
As with my Central Branch Library, which I’ve been using for 35 years, books, ANY BOOKS, that show up unsolicited, are returned. Especially, but not limited to, scientology books. But, hey, they do make great gifts for the OT Christmas Party!
I have a “Ron” series as well – unopened – that someone gave me as a birthday gift. (Yea, I know, “With friends like that….”) It’s ready for pick-up.
Also, since I wasn’t invited to the Cornerstone party nor am I allowed into the Flag Bldg, can I get my money back for my Cornerstone contribution? (Yea, I know, “How stupid can one get?”)
Regraded Being got it down once again. I am very familiar with the phenomenon.
Oh my gods, Regraded Being is genius.
+1.1
Hey Myrklix! That’s MY tone level your posted there! You got a problem with it? You better back off or I’ll KR you before the day is out!
Mike – How about chaining the Regraded Being pieces together and adding a link to them under “Important Links.” They are consistently spot on!
I run over here on Thurs. just to read Regraded Being.. ( Of course Mike daily..) So creative and talented. Fabulous Work RB.. and Thanks Mike for featuring the series.
Layers of goodness in this “Regraded Being” strip.
Those lousy SP’s helping out their friend who is still “in.” Boy, does that have the ring of truth in it!
Ring?….I was shocked how true this is. I thought I was alone.
to you in the know: what happens to those engraved names on honor rolls when the enrollee has been declared? is a special white-out procedure already built in ? just wondering..
Makes me wonder what they’re going to do with all of the engraved titanium plates in the CST vaults.
It’s an endless supply of busy work (Gold crew have been working on this as they have little else to do these days with the new studio and especially with everything basically being done CGI) to redo them with each version of GAG. CST is the biggest purveyor of junk titanium on the resale market.
Hmmm…which “version” of LRH’s tech is engraved on those titanium plates? Do they throw away the old ones and re engrave new ones each time Miscavige alters the tech, I mean comes out with a new Golden Age? No wonder Shelly is “so busy”.
Not trying to be a conspiracy nut or anything but is it feasible that they are storing gold, cash and/or valuables there along with the engravings? Either in anticipation of Hubbards return or just for emergency reserves? Mission into Time would seem to set a precedent for Hubbard believing he would come back to collect his buried treasure.
Hey Dave,
It’s all over the news that Gillman Hot Springs is flooded from the California rains. Did the whole damn dike at Int bust open? Fortunately for you, titanium doesn’t rust.
The intersection of Gilman Hot Springs Road and Sublette Road is right in front of Daves Golf Course. He must have OWs to have pulled this in. The news chopper has ariels of the scene.
Yo Dave,
Better check your razor wire fences to be sure none of your riff-raffe can escape during this situation. Then get your butt over to the MAAs office for an “I’m not auditing you” session and find your crimes. Sheesch ……..where’s your OT ness for gawds sake? Of all the places GOD could pick for a flood ………………… HE PICKS YOUR BACK YARD…… DAVE!!!!!!! What does that tell you ……shit for brains?
