It’s an “ideal island”…
Like they now have an “ideal Florida” with 3, yes, 3 ideal orgs in a state with more than 20 million residents.
Just think, they will have ONE org for an island with a population of 3.6 million.
Actually, that should really be ideal — 99.9% of the population will never come in contact with scientology. The other 360 people will be the unlucky ones.
But in fact there are dozens of even more ideal islands (nations) in the Caribbean that are entirely scientology free zones (except when the Freewinds is in port). Odd how the “OT ship” has not generated any demand for even a group, let alone an org, anywhere it has been visiting for 30 years…
The next milestone…
It will be announced once you hand over enough money.

How exactly does this happen in Cambridge? By being regged to buy OT packages?
More religiosity…
This IS scientology.
Oh, so religious and humanitarian.
And this will all be based on “LRH Tech” which is the “scripture” of scientology.
“The Tourjes”
Well, in that case, I will be there.
The Sea Org Mission is still in WISE Clearwater
They keep sending out these invitations for endless “seminars”…
This one is specially for David Miscavige. His ass is being kicked by the internet. Even my blog beats his website in volume of traffic….
Some orgs need this one…
Battle Creek? New Haven? Chicago? Had buildings for 15 YEARS and still thinking about moving into it.
But then again, if Eric Bayersdorfer knows how to solve this problem how come the orgs don’t? They all have the same Hubbard “tech.”
This is all they’ve got?
Where are their Class V Grads? Or even a single Academy Level?
Someone finished reading the WTH and this is a win worth announcing in a promo piece?
It’s literally less than an hour to read the whole thing.
Hard up for good news?
Do they know this is scientology?
Probably not. If anyone mentions it they are told this is a “secular program not part of church of scientology.”
Until you go to a scientology event, scientology.org or an IAS fundraiser. Then it is DEFINITELY scientology.
This is weird
Because the org was not ideal it did not “capture my attention” so he didnt start on the Bridge.
Nothing about the “tech”?

Hey how come there is NO mention of scientology? “Fraser Mansion” rather than “church of scientology”?
Are you pretending this is NOT a scientology thing?
Another one
Did they get conned because they got a free venue?
It’s certainly not because they want to be associated with scientology.

It’s almost a different subject and different organization to my participation in the 1970’s. Looking at the pictures it’s hard for me to believe that real people continue to participate. That said, even if it had continued the way it was the internet would still have put it in the dumpster with some people getting some benefit from participating. Someone who did all the OT levels suggested that a satisfactory graduation point from Scn might be after OT2. After all the introspection on the grades and dianetics a few extroverting “processes” on OT1 and OT2 might be good enough to get you extroverted and on your merry way to try something else – or not.

Christie Lee Holbark,
Woof! Woof! That is a mighty interesting story you tell.
But I checked with Chuck and he is unwilling to chuck in even two farthings or two haypennies.
He asked, “since the monster has more than a billion dollars, why do you have to beg for $4000 in order to enslave three more suckers”?
Personally, I think that is a very compelling question. Why don’t you just give them one of your massive dinosaur buildings you bought to fool the IRS? They can sell it and then they won’t have to throw their lives away on your stupid scam?
Why don’t you just save the money it will take to get them there and also the money it will take to enable them to go back home (screaming in terror) when they learn just how truly horrible it is to be enslaved into your scam?

Speaking from experience I think every Senior & Middle management employee seeking to truly perform efficiently and effectively in their seat should be paired with a competent experienced CLASS 5 AUDITOR. I can’t even begin to tell you the benefits of having one on your team. I SEE NOW WHY THE MINISTER WANTED MINISTER’S TO HAVE ON STAFF. The pressure and the stress can be so overwhelming at times. And if you are aberrated like most of the population the stress can lead to meltdowns, incompetence and poor decision making which leads to expensive mistakes. Most times you can’t tell the difference but an auditor can and will stamp it out at the root. I AM PERSONALLY THANKFUL I HAVE ONE ON DEMAND. Honestly I can’t put a price on clarity.
* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *
(emphasis added by capitalization)
I believe in the sentence “I see now why the minister wanted ministers to have one on staff,” the word “minister” refers to Minister Louis Farrakhan, and the word “ministers” refers to his regional “Student” Ministers, such as Tony Muhammad.
As previously noted, Sister Giselle Muhammad has purchased her Scientology Bridge to Clear and Class 5 Auditor as well as the Admin Tech and Life Repair.

How can someone sell a meter that they have and then give you the options of choosing a color?
Why is there a picture of a majestic mountain for a org in FLORIDA??
What are the ‘wins’ that everyone keeps talking about? Are we back to the Yatzee game?
I recently went to the Fraser Mansion in DC- that’s the DC “Scientology National Affairs Office”. I walked right up to the door and actually placed aftermath cards in the mail slot. There were three cars and a VM van in the parking lot. (I even got some great pics of bobble-head Mike standing right in front of their sign) The people on the street were actually coming up to me and telling me good luck with handing out the cards- they really didn’t like scientology being there. Maybe thats why its not mentioned on the invitation….

PeaceMaker says
It’s interesting to see the now-homeless and only semi-offical Sunland-Tujunga mission (no longer actually listed on the CofS website) showing up at yet another address. This one appears to be a commercial-industrial location used by the people hosting it. A quick search shows that it has been associated with another address on Foothill as well, among several including that of a couple who have hosted several events the promo pieces for which have been posted here, at a home where I think they also have a painting business. Some day I may have to sit down and see if I can parse out the tortuous history of the mission, which seems as if it’s been passed around like a hot potato for about a decade now.
The mess is rather telling of the state of Scientology – even in California, there’s not enough interest, and not enough “curious” new people, to keep the missions going, though in this case some diehards seem determined to keep up an effort to stave off its complete demise, even though they don’t have the wherewithal to provide it a new public location.
Old Surfer Dude says
I keep hearing about ‘Vanguard.’ Are they referring to the single (beat up) van that’s parked in their lots? I don’t think it will be going ANYWHERE for quite awhile.
I Yawnalot says
Yeah, I’ve seen it. It’s the yellow one at the back of the empty car park. I can’t remember which state but I do know it’s in the northern hemisphere, an OT goose told me.
Old Surfer Dude says
Oh, WOW! There’s OT geese now? Who would have thunk it!
jim says
OSD
That was a pretty foul remark against geese.
On the other hand, they can levitate their bodies, fly themselves to anywhere they wish without other means than their intention, and are free of them pesky human R6 banks and self-generated shadow beings. So, yes,….. geese are in fact more OT than any humanoids, novi or otherwise.
Richard says
Jim – “shadow beings” I like that. It’s a nifty way to refer to the bee tees, ghosts, angels and all the other “incorporeal conscious entities”, “disembodied self aware entities” etc. It’s not even necessarily negative.

I’m sorry.

So Sad….Puerto Rico is such a beautiful paradise, and they’re putting in one of those oversized eyesores of an Idle Morg there. I hope they don’t forget that it gets HOT in the tropics and that they’ll need LOTS of A/C or some BIG windows — with screens to keep out the biting flying insects that abound, all hungry for BLOOD, which is, IMO, the only drawback of being in the Caribbean.
Dawn says
So they are sending two auditors from Bolivia to Melbourne, as an organization, and expect Melbourne to raise funds to get them there? The “Church” doesn’t pay for that? What does Dave do with the more than $1 billion in cold hard cash he is sitting on if it is not used to actually run the organization. He has more money than some countries and terrorist organizations. Oh how I wish that Scientology was dissolved and all of their assets taken.
Chuck says
I wondered how someone could be from Venezuela/Bolivia. The countries don’t even border each other. Do they mean one is from Venezuela and one is from Bolivia? Maybe they should have just said South America. I mean no disrespect, but if I were in Venezuela at this point in time, I wouldn’t mind Scientology getting me a visa to live in Australia.
Skyler says
Hello Chuck. Please excuse me if I appear to think I have the right to “correct” you. But when you say, “I don’t mean any harm”, I just have to ask, “Why not?”
This scam is one of the most harmful blights on this world. I would think it would be perfectly fine if you were to mean all kinds of harm – maximum harm – big time harm – harm in spades.
I don’t know exactly how the demise of this scam will come. But I’m guessing many people will have to attempt to do great harm to this scam before it is finally laid to rest – put out of business – dead and buried – over and done – etc..
So, please. If you ever feel like it, please mean to do as much harm as you can. I think we all need to mean harm and do harm and actually destroy this unspeakable evil.
I Yawnalot says
The first asset taken (by introverting & force if necessary if lies fail) from a Scientologist is common sense. The rest is aligned with a routing form, doesn’t matter much which one, IAS, WTH, WISE, disaster relief (yellow jackets) Ideal bs, etc etc but the true stat of the whole of Scientology is always a one way flow of give give give until you are thrown under a bus because you’ve got nothing left to give. Your youth and vitality are also taken, but eventually you get old and then they show you those bus wheels again. Scientology, the looser’s way to unbelievable despair. Scientology, ie Hubbard, prides itself that to believe self sacrifice for church coffers is the highest attainable level of their Bridge. Scientology also highly values your family, loved ones & friends as an asset to be harvested too. Disconnection is their pressure release safety valve if things go wonky, kept well lubricated by the form of the Org, monitored closely by the ethics dept.
PeaceMaker says
They may be Venezuelans who fled to Bolivia – which is trying pretty aggressively to get rid of such refugees, according the news reports I turned up. So going to Scientology in Australia may be the least bad of their bad options. Refugees could be yet another class of desperate foreign workers for Scientology to exploit….
I Yawnalot says
We don’t want no more stinking Scientologists in Australia. The ones we’ve got get themselves in the news for all the wrong reasons.
jere lull (38years recovering) says
Looking at the schedule, it looks like Boulder org is open only SIX HOURS A WEEK?, Mostly replaying SCN.TV content. At that rate, do they NEED any more than 1 staff member — to wrangle the video?
PeaceMaker says
Boulder is a mission, so a minimal schedule would be typical. However, its listing on the Scientology missions website actually shows it open 6 hours each day Monday through Thursday in the late afternoon and evening, and additional hours the other 3 days of the week, though we have reports that the missions often don’t really keep the hours claimed. One location I visited recently seemed to be actually used by the proprietor for some sort of other business – possibly what allowed them to keep it open at all – and closed when they were out attending to other things.
Reports indicate that some missions do a have a bit of activity, such members taking basic courses, or even some auditing. Boulder is a prosperous hotbed of aging baby boomers and newer generation spiritual seekers, so the sorry state of Scientology there shows that it has no prospects even in what should be fertile recruiting grounds.
jere lull (38years recovering) says
“But in fact there are dozens of even more ideal islands (nations) in the Caribbean that are entirely scientology free zones (except when the Freewinds is in port). Odd how the “OT ship” has not generated any demand for even a group, let alone an org, anywhere it has been visiting for 30 years…”
AND, considering their exemplary control of local PR (not!), it’s odd that they’re still ALLOWED to dock at the ports they’ve been frequenting. OR that they can dock anywhere Tubby had used & ripped off prior to ’76. Places like that have long memories as nothing much of interest happens year-to-year.
PeaceMaker says
Typically, prosperity and success are framed as how to sell, and how to make people want your product – not how to make a product that people want, perhaps one so valuable that it virtually sells itself. Thus, as I noted yesterday, Scientology and its pod of whales seem inordinately populated by people who make their money through high-pressure sales of products and services of dubious value – and sometimes even frauds.
The Robert Anderson who gave the presentation at the Denver org must be the aging Boulder mission holder – approaching 70, if not 80, by now. That mission moved out of its prime spot in a walk-up near the famous Boulder Mall years ago, to a space in a strip mall in an outlying town. I’m guessing it’s one of the old situations where he is a field auditor and FSM, and that supports keeping the location open – it may go back to the old days when field auditors were basically forced to take on a mission. And so much for “expansion,” it’s in a metro satellite area twice as populous as Battle Creek, a college town that is quite well-off and a hotbed of interest in personal growth and spiritual movements, but Scientology there is still small and failing.
jere lull (38years recovering) says
PeaceMaker stated:
“but Scientology there is still small and failing”
That accurately describes scientology as a whole at this time and place (Teegeeack).

“I think he needs more Purif and Objectives. He is hallucinating.”
Isn’t that the EP of objectives, Hallucinations? They always let ME stop then when I reported the hallucination of “floating”.
BTW, It seems the ‘desired’ effect of Dave’s new squirrel “survival” RD is over-run, and the only EP is “I SURVIVED!” Of course, when the PC drops over mid-RD, they can’t HAVE that EP. DLZ(Dear Lord Zenu!) EVERY Objective ever even idly MENTIONED is on the checklist!? I can’t think of a surer path to O/R…. How “in-PT can a PC GET? Will they as-is and DISAPPEAR? Well, I’ve already HAD that EP, and disappeared, never to darken their doorway again.

OPEN LETTER TO:
RTC COB, DAVID MISCAVIGE
Dearest Davy,
Thanks to a certain dirty SP, who out of decency shall not be named here, I became aware of the new “Ideal Island” idea and I must say I’m hooked!
I would like to suggest the next Ideal Org to be opened on Gran Bahama.
I would humbly suggest my own candidacy to lead this org. I have decades (2) of experience, both in auditing, recruitment and ethics so I can fill many (3) roles and that way we can bring the personnel costs way, way (8%) down .
I know the building will be great and the most majestic structure in all of Bahama. Thus, as much as I’d like to do everything myself, I will need several (7) SO members to keep the org clean, cook and do other minor things such as smiling at the people outside.
I strongly suggest that these SO all be very attractive women in their prime (20 – 25). I’m confident we can clear the island if we can convince the natives of our superiority and prowess within the second dynamic.
I’m looking forward to spending my days watching these SO members, writing KR reports on myself and clearing any (0) natives that will have the money for the courses.
I know there will not be anyone who will be senior enough to properly sec-check or even audit me, but by following your example I believe we can manage perfectly well without that. I mean – you don’t get sec-checked and this has in no way caused damaged to the church, right?
Please un-declare me, so I can join the team, come aboard for the big win and make this Bahamas Ideal Org a reality!
Much love and cookies,
You-know-who

In civilized countries non Scientology millenials and Gen Xers do routine internet searches on all purchases of unfamiliar items as well as unfamiliar individuals, groups or subjects
This alone dooms the cult to its fate of no new membership, NOI cult members excepted.
The Church of Scientology is toxic.
Ms. B. Haven says
Gotta love Scott Schmidt for his desperate enthusiasm and even more desperate creativity in trying to sell an e-meter so he can hang out at the org longer than he expected.
Scott sez: “…I’m not coming home until I’m CLEAR!!!” Well Scott, you might as well figure on staying put at this org you love so much because you will never go ‘clear’. The fact is there are no ‘clears’, only oversized and gaudy clear certificates that can be revoked at any time by the powers that be.
This story reminds me of an experience I had a Flag decades ago. I had to stay longer than expected. I was coming up with all sorts of creative ways to pull that off. I was working on the side to make more money and trying to find cheap accommodations rather than stay at the overpriced Fort Harrison. All of this is a big no no in the cult’s eyes because it takes away from their income and stats. Because of this push back and my desperation to get the hell out of the “friendliest place on earth”, I was also planning an escape. Unfortunately for me that escape for good didn’t come for about seven more years. I’m a slow learner.
Best of luck to you Scott and may you escape in a much shorter time frame than I.
PS Scott, if you persist in this attempt to sell your e-meter, you will receive a SRA (severe reality adjustment) from the bookstore officer and the ethics officer. By selling a meter on the side you are cutting into org profits and the bookstore officer’s stats. If you sell it for pennies on the dollar on eBay (probably to some squirrelish Fool or Freezoner) you will be spending all of your remaining time in Africa doing sec checks and ethics conditions. Fun!!!
Rip Van Winkle says
Fun fact: the New meters connect to gold for re-cert via the web. You must be a Scio in good standing to have it certed electronically, after one year they no longer work unless this is done. The computer inside shuts down.
They have effectively ended the ability to sell them on eBay or to non-scios.
Also, this is the only meter they can use, it’s the only one that works with the simulator and the recorder.
(this is how they forced the sales upon release. Overnight, I no longer had a meter for my OT VII)
Having said that,
I’m not an electronic engineer, so perhaps there are work arounds for continued use. The big-ass “purchase and use contract” we all had to sign made re-selling them illegal.
Not only that, they also forbade sharing them, right down to using someone else’s during twinning on course. This stance may have been softened because it was unworkable and unwieldy during course. (I no longer to go Flag) ?
(And if they softened the enforcement of the adherence to the rules, I’d bet they didn’t revise that long legal contract one signs upon purchase. Thereby making everyone in violation of it and liable for financial damages and prosecution, or something else to be used against someone in goldenrod when they leave)
“Didn’t adhere to the high ecclesiastical and legal standards blah blah blah)
Ms. B. Haven says
Good points Rip, I’ve been out long enough to be unaware of these changes. Thank the gods!
Fortunately for me I was able to unload my entire Hubbard library including a Mark V, Mark VI, and Mark VII (Orange County special edition for going St. Hill size) on eBay for pennies on the dollar. At least I got that and shipping was cheap via USPS Media Mail.
These days meters are widely available on the internet for those kool-aid swilling Fools who still believe that these crude (and cheaply made) Wheatstone Bridge devices actually work. They can’t be ‘silver certed’, but who cares? Why bother to get an electronic box of snake oil certified?
Rip Van Winkle says
I carried my meters out to the rubbish bin and hucked them out, without one iota of qualm.
I adored my meters, particularly the one I used on OT I – III and audited others with. Yet, when I was just suddenly done, I had nothing but a faint sense of satisfaction as they dropped into the bin.
I burned and turfed everything, to sell would have been blood money to me.
Annie Oakley says
So what does one do with their old e-meter?? I have been wondering. It sits in the back of the garage. The only thing we haven’t gotten rid of because we don’t know what to do with it. Figure it isn’t worth anything since only the latest model is “legal” for use. It’s probably considered electronic waste – figure it must be, so you aren’t supposed to just throw it in the trash, but should take it to one of the special electronic waste disposal places. I also have an old Mark V. Maybe it’s worth something on ebay to collectors?
Peabody says
He has one for sale and you can choose among three colors! How cool is that?
Most likely he has three and is selling only one.
Komodo Dragon says
I bet when a buyer chooses a color, he merely postulates the color and watches the meter change before his eyes to the correctly postulated color.
SILVIA says
It is quite shocking to see how some people have bought all the false ideas of this cult. Some are so disjointed, like the guy from Manchester where he did not start there as the Org. was not Ideal and then acknowledges big time the services he received from them.
The attention has been directed to money, mest, lavish orgs instead of doing something good for another…and they all have bought the lie, and thus, act and speak accordingly.
Karakorum says
What can one say? Its a MESTfest.
I think the time for “doing something good” probably ended before I was born. And that was not a very recent event, rest assured. 😉
Rip Van Winkle says
It comes off as sooo contrived.
Years of promoting their field of dreams strategy… I’d bet we see more of this codswollop.
“All success stories must gush thanks to DM, RTC, and proclaim the ideal building as the only reason they did it”
All hail fancy indoor plumbing and TP on every spindle.

Kristin G says
Oh, Scott Schmidt, I’m on to you. Too much rambling, a trait of liars. Just listen to the Hubbs – perfect example! Selling a never out of the box meter. One meter. But suddenly you can pick from 3 colors.

Good catch, you find all sorts of strange things when you parse these carefully. I try to pick out the ones that jump out at me, and more carefully scrutinize a few pieces that are of particular areas of interest like the fortunes of missions, and I appreciate everyone who checks out the others.
Rip Van Winkle says
He undoubtedly has the money on account, can’t ask for it back, needs to pay some debt to stay and needs the cash in hand for it.
We called that tactic a “covert refund”. Depending on the extant mindset, it would be allowed or tramped on, hard.

Wow! When I saw that dummy who had no arms and legs, I really freaked out.
I was expecting to read that he had sold his arms and legs so that he could move up in status.
Interesting they no longer talk about moving up the bridge. Now it’s moving up in status. I guess it so much easier to control something when you don’t have to define it.
Anyone who sells body parts for money in order to make a donation to this scam must be a real dummy. But I guess that is exactly who they want to target.

If you think things have changed after shortstop took over the cult in the late 1970s you have forgotten history. In the 1960s Tubbard told John McMaster that the plebes were only interested in status. Scamming is a fundamental aspect of the cult.

I’d love to know just what planets has he salvaged? Alternatively, what has he salvaged from planets that are different than this one?
In particular, I’d love to know if he ever found any Beatles memorabilia on any other planets.
Do you know just how much a Beatles album that came from Mars or Venus would be worth here on Planet Earth? I think it would be worth millions and millions.
I’d wager he could make lots of money just by charging people to come see it. As a matter of fact, he could probably make more money than the monster has ever made from his lies about the scam. He could probably get enough money to build castles in the sand on ever major city on this planet.
This is “Planet Earth” by the way.
But never mind about that. Let the scamming begin!
