The Pride of Africa
Get it? Pride…
Problem is nobody is “rising up”…
They’re sinking into oblivion.
Artistic ability
Perhaps you could find someone who has some to design your next poster.
This is an abomination.
You have it all
As long as all does not include time or money. Or your own thoughts.
Going St Hill Size
Hahaha. First step, a single car in your parking lot and anyone on service. One of the deadest of the dead ideal orgs.
Might as well have a poster “Going to the Moon, join us.”
This is Auditor’s Day?
Surprise speaker?
Isn’t this Danny Masterson’s thing?
Not invited this year I guess.
The First “Ideal Base”? AND the Chan Man! Wow.
Not Flag? Not Gold? Not Freewinds?
What’s next? First ideal parking lot?
First ideal speaker?
Apparently they think this is convincing
Durban?
What are Flag public doing in Durban? What about all the US orgs? Puerto Rico maybe? Isn’t that even part of the “Flag Alliance”?
Poor old New Haven — they’ve had a building for like 15 years now. Long Island never even gets mentioned…. but Durban is getting the attention?
Come join the faries
Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles…
Why? What about Puerto Rico? Your OT Committee had that as part of your “alliance”. I think they could use help more than ever after Maria?
Hold on a second
This guy was announced as the new ED of the Valley Org??
What happened?
They could use someone to blow away their barriers to success. That enormous, completely empty parking lot is a real eyesore.
Go after those kids
Maybe you can sign some of them up and collect a 10% commission
Desperate much?
$15 to listen to a lecture. Most orgs would do this for free just to get anyone to come in the door. Must be seriously in need of some cash flow…
He graduated the International Public Relations convention?
That’s some graduation.
Next they’ll hand out certs “Sunday Service graduate” and “Reg cycle graduate”
Wonder if they handled the big PR flap about Miscavige’s fake medal while they were in town?
Those facts don’t help you
One org could not possibly deal with an area that large. And they don’t even have one org at this point.
Come to the moon with us! We ARE heading there.
Like who cares?
Not much of a “discovery” if you ask me.
More magic?
Is magic the new big thing in scientology? Sleight of hand to get your wallet…
What alliance?
GOT MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS?
WE CAN HELP!
WHO CAN?
MR. CHAN CAN!
JUST SIGN OVER YOUR BANK, SAVINGS, 401K, PENSION, AND HE WILL HELP YOU TO LEAD A MORE BALANCED LIFE = < MONEY = MORE BRAIN 🙂
What’s that building on the top of the Cambridge forlorn hope ad? It’s certainly not the Cambridge Ideal Org, which is more suburban branch office style than old churchie.
That building is Shelly Miscavige’s “mausoleum”: . . . Err, I mean “office” .
Dave F.
How about this as alternate history? In the 1940s, LRH, rather than meeting Jack Parsons, links up with Menachem Schneerson, converts to Orthodox Judaism and changes his name to Dov Chaim Hubbard. His first book is known as ‘ Kabbalanetics’ and doesn’t become a best seller as he limits its sales to other Jews. With his followers he advances a new form of Kabbalah known as ‘ Ashkenology’ and is soon a prominent rabbi in Jewish circles. At the helm of this new movement, Rebbe Dov Chaim Hubbard comes into direct conflict with Schneerson who accuses him of altering both Judaism as well as Kabbalah. Rebbe Hubbard tells Rebbe Schneerson to fuck off and then moves his followers into a warehouse in Brooklyn which he renovates into a synagogue. This version of LRH is preferable to reality because it limits LRH and his madness to an obscure section of New York City.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. Some kid named David Miscavige shows up at the synagogue and wants to study Ashkenology. Rebbe Hubbard shoos him away,
saying “Beat it, kid! We don’t take goyim!”.
No not Brisbane! Brisbane is a wonderful beautiful city. It deserves better than an iDead Morgue smelling up the joint. Sure miss those BBQ’d bugs (from Moreton Bay). Gold Coast in general is incredible.
Cambridge:
“This is a new BOWEL movement on the face of Earth.”—El Con Hubbtard
Golf Event:
Looks like they DO read this blog, since a couple of us recently pointed out the correct spelling of Jack’s last name. 😉
Durban:
“Every ideal org is a dying, suffocating example of KSW….” And yeah, “just imagine Clears being made in droves every week.” That’s where it’ll stay: in your imagination.
Lecture:
Free BBQ and Refreshments…only $15!
Magic?
Nah…. But Magick? Yeah.
That artistic flyer is painful. So bad!
When did Ron mention his dream for an ideal Africa? Never heard that before.
Most of the flyers are plain white with no artwork. Boring!
Sea org beginning event (Pssst: you forgot to put the content in the middle of the page.)
That LRH quote about the management series is incomprehensible.
If I bring a friend to hear the recorded lecture by LRH, do I have to donate for his meal too? Or does 15 cover us both? (Good way to lose friends, IMHO).
If you’re giving facts about Queensland, why mention Western Australia? Focus, people!
So they haven’t done the marketing series in addition to English Grammer etc. like me. Used to be crew were sent to FSO or ITO to train and get somewhat good at there jobs.
I think DM considers those that insist on following LRH tech and policy are a threat. I know, it’s so weird. But anyway he is loosing staff and there seem to be few new public. Most 100% of person’s I meet know how toxic scientology is. It’s all good ?
“Keep them uneducated and they’ll do what you tell them to.” Book of Miscaviage chapter 3, verse 10.
Yeah, , Hubbard loved uneducated people, and the uneducated are certainly Miscavige’s preferred slave demographic. How they must be so proud to share this enlightened viewpoint with no less that the current President of the United States America! Well it was a long time coming but this is a tremendous validation for the Founder and the Dwarf wouldn’t you say?
I just think someone needs to tell them that Africa is a continent, not a nation.
“Just imagine Clears being made in droves every week.”
That cracked me up.
Someone needs to help NY Morgue”s imagination!
They’ve been Ideal for 14 years.
Last Clear they made was a year and a half ago.
Truly, they must lack imagination!
Because, located as they are in Manhattan’s Time Square AKA “The Crossroads of The World”, they sure do have plenty of foot traffic.
And they are and have been Ideal for a long time.
But darn it, there’s just so – unimaginative 🙂
That has to be the problem 🙂
What they meant to say was “people are clearing out of $cientology in droves”.
Jean Dale Glass, “Entertainment Executive”, who has worked with just about every famous actor, director, and maybe even Lassie, in Hollywood?
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8418491/

That Jean Dale Glass?
I figured she was the condiment supervisor for the buffet line on the set of a Kevin Costner film on the day he wasn’t shooting. Close: She doled out electrical cords, maybe a surge protector or two.
This picture of Jean Dale must have been taken about 1978. As that’s the very last time she looked like this. Two years ago I happen to have the horrible experience of seeing one of her talented “washed up” stars perform. OMG,Her and her “Star” were big and sloppy with witch hair and makeup. I don’t usually go off on people’s physical looks but she was awful looking (bag lady comes to mind) Her star act was Melanie (“I’ve got A Brand New Pair of Roller-skates) who could not carry a note. This was in Pasadena where you’d think the Cherch would support them – not. I had no idea Melanie couldn’t sing anymore and left after song two. But her Ad they hung was of her in the 70’s when she was beautiful and talented . She is now dressed in a very large caftan robe and messy. Yikes.
Is that golf club run by scientologists? If not, have they no shame? How can they allow such a loathsome organization as scientology to use them as their venue… scientology with its history of tearing families apart, neglecting children, and stark abuse in so many cases.
This is unacceptable.
And as for that absurd quote from Hubbard about artistry… talk about polishing a turd! Illogical and non-sensical bullshit presented in over-the-top flourished font. Scientologists should be embarrassed to fawn over that conman’s insane ramblings.
Dear Kevin Wilson,
of pewter management:
I have but one simple question as regards using Administration Scales. They have been in existence for nearly 70 years and are the ONLY management practices of all scientology orgs. Why is it that NOT ONE ORG is successful on this entire planet?
They don’t really follow it. I find some of it works. (NOT the Birthday Game, though – Jesus, cut your throat and say Sayonara to your business with THAT piece of “tech). But I use SOME Scn admin tech successfully. I cherry pick what I like and what suits my business in that it CAN be used.
As for the orgs, in the end I saw that admin tech and ANY tech went right out the window if it conflicted with Command Intention. Some order would come down and staff would go nuts. I observed this as a public. Some other times I’ll list out all the specific examples I observed. The orders were EVERYTHING. Big scrambles to comply with them, pressure, pressure on public. Then, a month or so later, it would be something ELSE.
Being on staff had to be hell on earth.
Aqua,
You call it for what it is, exactly so.
I know it’s an old point of contention because it exposes the scam of Scientology but Chan the Diminutive Man, Kaye Champagne et al plus all the lesser, mere staff members appearing in their promotions deal entirely in selling counterfeit dreams. None of them have a training/practical/result side to any of their claims of the greatness of personally applying the Hubbard tek to faux freedom to others. Chan the Commission Man as far as I can tell has only ever received (bought, aka a professional PC) auditing & has read a heap of Hubbard dribble, but never actually gives services practically to others! The only aspect of their religion is to sell and promote services which don’t exist. I tie my own fishing flies and now design & make my own soft plastic lures (personal hobby only). It’s all done in the anticipation of the thrill of fooling another creature down the food chain. My own sense of morality kicks in though, and although there are strict laws concerning bag limits, I limit my kill, not kill my limit. We do love fresh fish on the table every now and again.
I wonder if Scientology would ever consider practicing “catch and release?” Barb-less hooks would be a start. Just a thought… Silly me to ever consider there’s any humanity involved with Scientology.
I have a question? If Scientologists are supposed to be immortal beings, living life after life with full memory retention of each life, why does Bubbles C. state: “Ron loved Africa and wanted to see Scientology flourishing here” in the past tense, like LRH was a mere mortal who lived and died like a mere WOG. She makes it sound like he is not coming back. I think she is very out ethics for that comment and needs to do some serious (and very expensive) Sec checks.
Komodo Dragon,
Scientologists are “supposed” to be “immortal beings” ( if you have the money – LOL ) . . . However, in reality, they are actually “immoral beings” ( note the spelling ).
Dave F,
Typical myopia: A few “ideal”(tm) orgs in one country down in the far corner equals all of AFRICA IDEAL! Just like a few OTs would make it possible to save the WHOLE planet. Does no one have a concept of things of comparible magnitude? AND, all it takes to bring all of Scientology, all of the most powerful beings in the UNIVERSE, to their knees is ONE Suppressive! That didn’t make sense to me until I saw McSavage’s VFP after only a couple decade’s work.
How, exactly is being OFF the crossroads a good thing for planetary clearing?
https://i2.wp.com/www.mikerindersblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/chi.png
“Your Questions Answered” . . . REALLY ?
OK . . . Where is SHELLY MISCAVIGE ?
Dave F.
Ok one more comment here. Is it wrong of me to want to have copies of Janis’ first book shipped to the unnamed chapel on September 22 so people can find out the real story of how Sea Org got started.
I love that idea! ?
I could say something about LRH tech, but it wouldn’t be nice.
Say it! ☺
I won’t.
Next we will have an Ideal Civilization on an Ideal Planet!
But at the rate they are moving it may take millions and millions of Ideal years!
Check out our favorite huckster, GC. It appears he’s made the semi-bigtime, and it’s not scieno related:
http://sfbay.realestatewealthexpo.com/networkafterdark
He’s subtitled, “The Greatest Living Sales Expert”. I think they meant the “Greatest Living BS Artist”.
Kevin Wilson is doing a bang-up job over at his boondoggle of an organization Sterling Management. Their Alexa ranking is currently at 8,380,249. Must be that “magical LRH admin scale” at work. Lead on, Kevin, right off the cliff and into oblivion.
From 1994 to 2015, his highly successful organization went from a staff of 300 to approximately 25. Yep, some real “growth” there.
Yes KTBug, and if you go back to ’91, you’d see a massive drop in staff when Sterling Mgmt Systems stopped paying the staff at all for months and months on end. Many left after having maxed out their credit cards trying to stay on and help SMS weather the storm. So if Kevin Wilson has such high stats as a business owner (NOT) , why did they put him in charge of WISE, the business arm of Scientology? He is not an example of how to expand by using the tech.
I Googled Jean Dale Glass (who is doing the CC seminar on How To Get Your Child Started in the Industry). She has exactly one credit on IMDB and her company’s website, 8pointoh dot com, is an empty shell of blank pages. Plus, even I have more Twitter followers than she does.
Good call. I encourage everyone to call their bluff at every opportunity. The COS is so much ado about nothing that I sometimes get tired of talking about them. It’s bizarre that what might make them most interesting is that they’re sick and destructive m-effers. But hey, I like monster movies, so maybe I’m the one with issues.
Tape play fees are a MUST, Mike! It’s STATS they’re after .
Tape plays were a staple Wednesday night stat push:
Bodies In The Shop (BIS) only counts people on a paid service,
Div 6 service starts,
Div 6 comps,
PDC – the ED’s stat! Paid completions
and we can’t forget SS! Success Stories! Qual is happy too.
Then you have re-signs and hopefully some GI (gross income) from the service they re-sign onto.
And! Now there are a few bodies ripe for grabbing, the PPO grabs a recruit interview, the Reg is after a training package, the Sup grabs a recovery cycle…
All these loose bodies are a rich potential of further STATS.
Tape plays? Ride that money maker!
Not too long ago I used to have several hundred dollars on account for auditing hours. Evidently, the money set there too long and $365 was debited for a public tape play which I did not authorize nor attend. I learned the hard way that a donation can be used for anything any time and nothing can be done about it. I am not a player. I am a spectator, watching $cientology go down the shit-hole.
if you want it back on account, I’m betting a friendly letter to the Treas Sec will get it back.. especially if you hint that you’re saving it to get a clear bracelet.
getting it back is mainly a lost cause… but maybe you want to use it for something someday, even it’s to throw the thing off a roof later….
After involving the AG in a complaint against the cos, the amount of mail I get from the cos has dropped to zero. So the money the cos stole from me was actually worth it.
The clear bracelet along with 3 super duper mark VIIs and thousands of dollars spent on tape lectures and books and IAS status pins and certs went to the dump.
And the OT VIIIs who are willing to do it all over again from scratch so as to achieve the new miscavige version of scientology to plug the holes of abilities not gained from the first time is beyond belief.
ahhh yes… I too, know the joys of simply destroying 4 decades of Scn Rubbish. Things I’d just ever so recently cherished and revered…just burnt up and dumped with no emotion other than a bit of satisfaction. Bins and bins of books, tapes, CDs, certs upon certs… smash-burn-rip
It was the last thing I’d have ever guessed I’d do – to a mind blowingly large degree.
Damn, I forgot about the CDs and the whoop-de-doo scientology CD player. I also forgot to mention that we had two sets of everything, one for me and one for my wife (per lrh).
Impressive pile at the dump I must say.
yes! and as an added bonus, I made lots of room on the bookshelves for books I love. 🙂
I kept my clear bracelets.. .. I don’t know what I’ll do with them.. years from now… maybe I’ll be in the rocking chair and pull them out … “yes dear, it’s ALL True, ..and here’s a little trinket I’ve kept…..”
The goal of clear was very dear and fundamental in my world… and the lie of clear is a blanket that covers it all for me…
Be dazzled and amazed: Presto! Change-o! Your bank balance has disappeared! Along with your realistic hopes for the future.
A bedazzler is a nice addition to your craft kit. As long as it is just for your blue jeans. I’ve never heard of a beamazer. (Sorry OSD, I’m stealing your bad jokes, you’re going to have to step up to the plate here).
Dear Mike and All…..I am a never-in who follows Mike and Tony’s blogs…loyal Aftermath watcher…etc.. I am sure that you recognize my name if you are a regular here.
Well…I have been going through some rough times….so I haven’t been commenting very much. But, I thought you would be interested in this story.
This will sound crazy…but I needed some perspective….so a couple of weeks ago…I went OverTheBridge to Clearwater for a walk.
I parked my car in the shadow of The Cruise Penthouse Condo…started off. Downtown Clearwater is a dead zone. Middle of the day, on a weekend…the busiest place is Starbucks on Cleveland St. All the traffic is going to the beach….around downtown. There is nothing there to draw people. Even if there was….all of the Sea Org people make it extremely uncomfortable. Maybe it was just me…but when the guy ahead of me on the sidewalk crossed the street to avoid all the Sea Org members waiting for the bus behind FLAG….I followed him. I didn’t have the “stones” to walk through them. They stare at you when they pass you on the sidewalk…I know what they’re thinking. One woman looked at my cellphone. I had it on GPS…so I wouldn’t get turned around and sucked into the VOID.
I heard mostly foreign languages…. and thought about how all of their passports were taken from them, so that they cannot BLOW. They are trapped. I wish that I could’ve dropped Aftermath business cards all along the sidewalks.
FLAG is HUGE. Mostly deserted, except for all of the Sea Org members. So is the Fort Harrison… all of the rooms locked up tight..curtains drawn. I saw one family arriving. There were two gentlemen outside talking and one was handicapped. This struck me…considering, isn’t Scientology supposed to cure all ills?
I thought about how FLAG was built…On lies, on disconnection, on suicides, on violence, on theft….etc….etc….
I walked on the history of your footsteps …. those of you who were so brave to leave and how strong you are !!!!
Nothing that I have going on in my life right now, could ever begin to compare what some of you have gone through.
You are the Bravest and Strongest People I know.
Thank you for allowing me to comment here.
Yours…OverTheBridgeTPA
Thank you for the view. I sat outside the Valley org watching the traffic on Monday the 27th of Nov ’17 10am till I got bored at 6:30pm. Amounst mostly staff members there were 2 person’s in wheelchairs. Only 2 public went through the front doors and came out a few hours later. One public leaving spent an hour holding his books talking to 2 staff members by his car with the door open to the road. Then another staff member came out (to help get him to stay?) for another half hour before he drove away. No laughing or howdys.
1. Any artist who is sucked in by an undreadable poster with dozens of different fonts is no artist.
2. Chicago’s Completion Project returns? Where did it go? Strange. I didn’t miss it.
3. Hubbard is a New York Times bestselling author? I guess you can say that. He had 19 books on the bestseller list before 1990. But….they were all science fiction except DMSMH. Oh, wait, they were all science fiction.
Actually, Valerie, DMSMH did make the New York Times bestseller list for a short time when it first came out so LRH was a New York Times bestselling author in that regard. Problem is that the Dianetics euphoria didn’t last very long and soon the book was relegated to the bargain bin.
DMSMH was in there for 19 weeks. My comment was meant to imply that all his books in the bestseller list were fiction, including DMSMH.
My favorite was the one declaring they would have “droves” of clears EVERY WEEK! Yeah, can’t wait for that one.
Oh, that’s what it said. I thought they said they drove away more and more clears every week.
Those still “in” and working on clearing the planet are just smelling their own perfume/cologn. No one else is buying this crap. The money grab and application is only intended to fool the IRS.
A few comments about this week’s Thursday Funnies.
First,
CHAN MAN!
CHAN MAN!
CHAN MAN!
Is he crying yet?
Second,
Tiny bubbles !
On my brain!
Down in Durban!
From Kaye Champagne!
Third,
“Discover The Beginning”
Yeah. Of something that shouldn’t have started in the first place! LRH should never have formed the Sea Org!
Macho Macho Chan – I wanna be – a Macho Chan
Why, since Mike the Man Chan wrote that letter to Disney do I feel the need to break out in YMCA every time I see his name?
That ‘Artist’ flyer has all the panache of ransom note put together from a National Enquirer.
The only thing ‘magical’ about Lron’s ‘AdminTech’ is its ability to get its adherents sued.
No matter how many bullshit flyers and invitations various $cieno entities send out, does any one ever come to the clambake? Poor Mikey Chan has to go to Australia, probably on his own dime, to find fresh meat.
Soon Mikey Chen will be selling used cars with Grant Cardone.
What does it matter how big Queensland is? I thought Scientology was in the spiritual practice of clearing people…Queensland has less than 5 million people. Texas: over 28 million. Great Britain: over 65 million. Japan has 127 million people! But maybe land is cheep in Queensland and they can make a huge ideal org there. DM doesn’t seem to care that his ideal orgs are empty.
I’m surprised Scientology doesn’t have an Ideal Org on the Moon yet! If they did, Planetary Clearing would actually be a reality – somewhere!
The Vancouver poster has the year 2019??? Not one of them noticed this before going to print? Where’s their MU on the poster? Or is it the definition of ‘what is scientology’? And the poster with the word ‘fairies’ misspelled.?!? Indicators that things are definitely going downhill.
Those Queensland stats are impressive. Let’s try it with population.
Queensland is 1/27th the size of Japan, 1/14th the size of “Great Britain” (UK) and 1/6th the size of Texas. It’s being generous to say that Scientology has 27 members in Japan, but let’s do be generous. Comparatively speaking, there should be 1 member in Queensland.
It’s all very, very sad.
The writing in so many of their flyers and ads is so jaw-droppingly bad. “You would have a Renaissance on Earth. You just wouldn’t help it, because it’s almost completely missing here on Earth today.” I mean, what?? “Now we are bringing his postulate into being….” What??
You can see the degeneration of talent and the increasing desperation from week-to-week-to-week. Maevellous, Dahling, Simply Maevellous!
In the past I did some remodeling work in coordination with interior decorators. “Maevellous!” got worn out so they came up with “Smashing!”
On one of the jobs the decorator picked a tulip design wallpaper for a small bath. The wallpaper hanger mistakenly hung the wallpaper upside down. The next day when the decorator looked inside the bath he exclaimed. “My tulips!! My tulips!!”
Needless to say, the wallpaper guy had to redo his work.
About that wallpaper hanger. Was his first name Adolf?
The BBQ is free, but the “donation” is $15. That’s Scientology in one sentence.
And reading these funnies each week, it becomes clear that the cult could use a Spelling and Grammar Rundown.
