“Ignite” your prosperity
That’s a new word. Wonder if it will join “milestone,” “epic” and “watershed” as a go-to for scientology promo?
This may be the start of a new trend. You heard it here first.
Of course — all VERY religious. Even a $25 admission fee.
Columbus is rocking
Nearly half way through the alphabet — what an accomplishment.
3 or 4 dedicated people working on this. They will have Columbus cleared in no time.
Uh-oh

Here’s how you get it done
Clive Rabies puts his foot down
Tim Bowles
In house lawyer for the scientology dirty tricks department and husband of Carla, infamous GO “agent” who was part of Snow White.
Perfect complement for Tony Muhammad to represent what being a real humanitarian means.
Everything but…
Anything is better to promote than scientology to try to persuade people to come in
The cameras will be poised…
And that will be all there is to this event.

The next milestone
I can predict — the “milestone” is that they are getting ready to begin the space planning. They just need some more money before they can start.
Halting the merchants of chaos…
…and reversing the dwindling spiral are “so effective.”
So effective that what? Psychiatry has been wiped from the face of the planet? War has been stopped? Big Pharma is on its knees?

Another wonderfully inappropriate quote from Hubbard in 1961…
And they have THREE tech staff?
Fifth time lucky?
Maybe you can confront and shatter the suppression now?
Nah… No scientologist can do that.
Hey, I’m in power as a thetan…
But I do have self-esteem issues.
Really, I am totally cool. Nothing makes you cooler than announcing you are cool.

It's Always Raining in Vancouver says
The Clown in the minister’s collar is Kevin Taylor, he donated his first born son to ASHO at age 13 about 20 years ago, “Huckleberry Taylor, ASHO course Sup” (yup, real name)
Kevin styles himself as a self-published sage poet but makes his living washing windows to pay for occasional re-dos of whatever lower level div 6 service he can afford. After 40 years in, he’s good at quoting the basic books.
The other Clown is Larry Dutton, half of the 50’s music lip-sync duo, “Cookie and Eddie”, they’ve lived on crumbs propping up strugging/gasping Vancouver Org as staff for the past few decades and have disconnected from half their children and grandchildren along the way.
Vancouver is renown for having about 5 core families keeping it all going, lots of inbreeding and it shows.

Of course, you know where I’m going with this.
I mean, you KNOW that at this rate, the end game will HAVE to be “The Ideal Earth Alliance”.

Obviously their filing system wasn’t set up correctly in the first place if it’s taking ages to sort out.
Maybe they need to get DM in there to do it properly? From books I’ve read so far can imagine he’s bouncing off the walls (or bouncing others off the walls) screaming “DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING?!?! I’M THE ONLY LEPRECHAUN THAT KNOWS HOW TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT!! CONVINCE SOME CAPABLE THETANS TO GET IN HERE AND SORT IT OUT OR I’M GOING TO START AN RPF’S RPF’S RPF WITH ALL OF YOU!!!”

Clive Rabies has been ordering people onto OT VI for decades and the result is the numbers are dwindling quickly. More people are leaving during or after OT VII than are getting on.

In between sessions on OT 5, the OT 6 course sup would drop by and order me to get on course. I refused. She wasn’t too happy. Too bad. I had already decided to leave after the money I had on account was used up. I guess I was never really in which made my disconnect very easy.

On that Columbus(!?) CF: How BIG is their CF, anyway? AFAICT, Columbus has never been a hotbed of scn. In fact, If you’d asked me yesterday if Ohio had any scns, my guess would have been “No.”
But I’ve no reason to remember bits of trivia like that as I DON’T CARE if scn keeps hobbling along to its date with oblivion.
PeaceMaker says
The orgs being made “ideal” now are the small and failing ones in areas where Scientology has never done very well. A number of the orgs’ state and existence has to do more with accidents of history, and the internal machinations of Scientology, than viability – such as tiny Battle Creek, which has a full-blown “church” and not just a mission – but once established, they can never be closed.
Interestingly, I looked it up, and the Columbus and Cleveland metro areas are virtually the same size, and yet Cleveland has nothing more than a tiny mission barely hanging on in some commercial space off an alley. There may not be more than about a hundred active scientologists in the whole state.
Varian says
The Battle Creek org claims there are 1000’s of Scientologists in their area:

My husband was involved at one point when they were in Ann Arbor. It’s always been a small group and dwindling fast.
Kat LaRue says
These promos sound more and more desperate every week. Its like they are throwing everything at the wall and seeing what- if anything- sticks. Again, the targeting of children is especially creepy and disturbing, and the number of out of work writers wanting to have anyone throw them a crumb to make them feel like they are actually doing something productive (or just to pay rent) is crazy and sad.
They are proving to the world that scientology doesn’t work. How many of them are out of work and have no formal education except their ‘courses’? They cant list those things on a resume as the rest of us ‘Wogs’ see that it is a cult and would likely never want to willingly invite that into our work place. While I would never discriminate due to religion, I would hesitate to hire a scientologist (even if they had the necessary educational background which is very doubtful) simply because I would be concerned about their mental health and the possibility that they would try to bring their crazy into the office. They are too smug about being a scientologist and the mythical ‘status’ they have to hide it during the hiring process! Even though it isn’t legal to ask about someones beliefs, these morons wouldn’t be able to stay silent about it because they are too arrogant about the “wins” they have. They would most likely want to start at the top because they feel “entitled”.

What is it with these people about getting together to “clean up their area”? From what I’ve heard Pasadena is – correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not a Californian – a beautiful, wealthy, well kept, generally very upscale area? Aren’t taxes out the roof in this part of LA? But never mind, every Pasadena cultee should show up on a Saturday at 10AM, in order to “take responsibility” , with mops, pails, brooms and shovels for cleaning up this filthy hole? 🙂 Forgive me, its just too ridiculous 🙂

MOPS??? PAILS??? Did Pasadena get flooded or something?
Aquamarine says
Jere,
I just dubbed that in about mops and pails. You know, for comic effect.
But, seriously, I’d love to know what Koolaid drinkers in Pasadena believe needs cleaning up.
Cindy says
Aquamarine, for the most part you are correct about Pasadena. But there is one item needing to be cleaned up in Pasadena. That is, the discarded, dropped, thrown down Stress Test invitations and Free Movie about Scn invitation that the pinch test emeter and body routing staff do on the streets of Pasadena. For every movie ticket handed out, for every flyier handed out, probably 97% of them are discarded within a few feet of people taking them just so they can get out of there quicker.
Aquamarine says
Aha! Those damned litterbugs 🙂 For shame!
bixntram says
Why are they “cleaning up” Pasadena? Precisely because it is: “a wealthy, well kept, generally very upscale area.” I’m sure Watts or Compton need clean-ups more than Pasadena does, but they’ll never be there unless they have to, i.e., to impress the NOI.
Scribe says
Not completely off-topic as it does relate to Scientology. Below is the Psychopathy Checklist, developed by researcher Robert Hare whose book ‘Without Conscience’ I highly recommend. Remind you of anyone?
1. Glibness/ Superficial Charm
2. Grandiose Sense of Self-Worth
3. Need for Stimulation
4. Pathological Lying
5. Conning/ Manipulation
6. Lack of Remorse or Guilt
7. Shallow Affect
8. Callous/ Lack of Empathy
9. Parasitic Lifestyle
10. Poor Behavioral Controls
11. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior
12. Early Behavioral Problems
13. Lack of Realistic, Long-Term Goals
14. Impulsivity
15. Irresponsibility
16. Failure to Accept Responsibility for Own Actions
17. Many Short-Term Marital Relationships
18. Juvenile Delinquency
19. Revocation of Conditional Release
20. Criminal Versatility
Cindy says
Scribe, thank you for this. Can you expound on number 7, “Shallow Affect”? What does he mean by that?
Scribe says
Psychopaths are adept at mirroring emotions, and they can appear to be like totally normal and functioning adults. They’re usually charming and successful, and their darker side is undetectable to the untrained eye.
Robert Hare goes into this in much greater detail in his book Without Conscience.
Cindy says
Thanks Scribe. I’ll put that on my to read list. I also recommend Martha Stout’s book, “The Sociopath Next Door.”
Chuckles says
I went down the rabbit hole and went to Brandon Joe Williams’ website dontbeaslave.com. Let me save you some of your precious time by pointing out the highlights of his philosophy of “selling.” (BJ is somehow affiliated with OrgBoat.)
His direct quotes from his website are listed below. How he gets from idea A to idea B is unknown to me.
(He admits to being ADHD, and it is obvious in his frenetic video. He also admits to writing his book on his cell phone without editing it. Also, he says he doesn’t believe in using big words.)
Highlights from the website:
1) Marketing and sales, boiled down into one word, is simply ATTRACTION.
2) School is a terrible racket.
3) Am I brainwashed or is it the entire society that is?
4) To be accepted by society is essentially death.
5) Being undeserving, desiring punishment[,] and having a thirst for self-degradation are all keys in being successful in business.
6) Marketing and sales are the same thing.
7) My material will most likely eventually be attacked.
8) Insane people do not want you to do well.
9) The people with the most power in the world: book writers.
10) Our American constitution is under attack: particularly the 1st and 2nd amendment[s].
11) Free pornography is all over the internet and SOMEONE is paying for it.
12) Inflation is getting worse and worse, probably on purpose, to usher in a socialism or communism.
13) You need to understand people and control them to successfully get above your economic hardships.
Now on to highlights from the video:
14) He says in the video that one of the best books he has read and that has influenced him the most is “The Alabaster Girl” by Zan Perrion. Perrion is Romanian and is known as a “founder” of the “burgeoning community of international pickup artists.”
15) Quote from him in the video: “I don’t even know what bestseller means.”
16) Quote from him in the video: “I want you to get a minimum of one million dollars from my book.”
17) Quote from him in the video: “There is a movement of people from this book.”
18) He spends a lot of time giving a definition of “slave” and those who are descendants from slaves might be offended by his definition. “The definition of slave is basically where you don’t have people climbing across each other to come in.”
19) Quote from the video: “Failure is essentially a decision of which that you failed.”
20) Quote from the video: “I tried to pump as much information into this one book as humanly possible.” (The book is 153 pages in length.)
Please, don’t make the same mistake I did. Do not go to his website and watch the video. (You should avoid it if for no other reason than that the sound isn’t synched on the video.)
For a guy who says he only works part time and makes 6 figures, his LinkedIn page begs to differ as he currently has 2 “present” jobs. He is the office manager of a California dental office as well as a marketing and HR consultant based out of New York.

Richard says
He says he did over 37 INTENSiVES (12.5 hours each) of FPRD, whatever that is an he’s bragging about it? Maybe that’s what gave him the ADHD. How much does the book cost?
Chuckles says
The 153-page paperback book is $25 on Amazon or $10 for the Kindle version.
PeaceMaker says
Thanks for that deep dive.
I had a peek at his book through the Look Inside feature on Amazon, and noticed familiar “hard sell” themes, including the old idea that “people buy on emotion, then justify on logic” – used to justify selling anything to anyone at any price, treating them as totally irrational. There is some truth to the emotional (and psychological) component of buying decisions, but it’s one of those things that when take to extremes denigrates others, and becomes an excuse for exploiting and even abusing people.
Also, the title of the first chapter – which at the beginning contains the quote above, all in capitals- is Ethical Manipulation. That reminds me of the NLP manipulation and hypnosis techniques used in the NXIVM group that is currently the subject of the infamous “sex cult” trial in New York. Their guru deliberately borrowed some things from Scientology, including the applications of “ethics” as a tool of control, and there has recently been some lurid testimony from a young woman named Daniela who was subject to what sounds rather like a cross between “sec check” style forced confessionals and “baby watch” introspection rundown type imprisonment.

Mike,
You take their own words and make them eat those words. Your flagging of the word IGNITE illustrates just how vulnerable they make themselves. Some synomyms for ignite are:
To Burn…..As in; When you come into scientology you will get burned.
To set fire to.. As in; Your assets will go up in flames at the reg.
To torch…..As in; You can torch your other dynamics good by once in scientology
To put a match to….. As in; Scieno will put a match to your future prosperity.
Inflame…..As in ; Your friends and family will be inflamed to see what scieno makes of you.
Excite…. As in; Scino reges and recruiters will be excited to feast on your energy.
Provoke….As in; Scino will provoke your sensibilities. (But, don’t worry your sensibilities will leave after a short while in the sea org)
Peabody says
Marijuana growers/sellers seem to like the word “ignite” and use it in their business communications. I wonder if scientology is using “ignite” to attract pot-heads to their fold.
Richard says
My younger brother lives in Massachusetts where it’s now legal to grow six pot plants for your own use or twelve plants per family. He describes it as the wild West of pot growing. He lives in a rural area and when the plants mature later in the year the smell of curing pot plants dominates his whole neighborhood. Times have changed. laughter

“Halting the merchants of chaos” would mean clamping down on their own PR department – whoever writes pieces like “Our world is in a dwindling spiral” (the Tim Bowles one, above) – along with probably shutting down all of CCHR and STAAD/STAND.
It’s not surprising to see the SO sent in to rescue Columbus’ CF project; Orlando was also too small and failing to get it done on their own, and had to have the project taken over by outsiders. Scientology is down to the orgs that are too tiny and hopeless to get their own “ideal org” projects done without help, or really even run themselves – quite a few of them were originally relatively small missions raised to Class V status only due to some fluke of circumstances or organizational machinations, that obviously should have been left as missions.

IMO, there are NO “missions”. Taken over and (mis)managed by SMI, they were all forced o be mini-micro “orgs”, with all of the dreck that accompanies Dwarfenführer’s “CI” GONE are the franchises which managed to eke out an existence despite the handicaps Tubby put in the way, AND his “destroying them utterly” should any one of them actually learn to improve on Tubby’s (mis)management and PR practices.

Ammo Alamo says
The photos of every CF project show rows of folders, none of them thick enough to hold more than a very few sheets of paper. Does this mean they are “organizing” the folders of people who have had almost no activity in Scientology? Sure looks like it. Are those mostly-empty folders confirmation of the moribund state of Scientology, right out there for all the world to see? Sure looks like it.
Cre8tivewmn says
this CF contains pretty much everybody who ever talked to them. Considering how few people are really active, there’s lots of people with little more than an address and a book purchase to put in their file.
PeaceMaker says
The average org these days seems to have about 40 to 60 active members, and about as many more in its “field” who will show up for the biggest annual events – and a central files of 15,000 to 30,000 accumulated over the years, mostly of people who did something insignificant like take a personality test or buy a book. Any rationally run enterprise would be going through those files and just shredding about 90% of the long inactive and really old ones, rather than spending an average of something like 20 minutes each to redo them all, still in paper form nonetheless.
That indeed says a lot about the state of Scientology these days, as well as how it is managed.

“The Phenomena of Death” …. What a great idea!

That is so good for the planet. You must realize that. Don’t you?
It may all be so distasteful now. But it’s oh so good for you in the long run. Don’t forget about your Scamatology presence. It’s all for your own good. Little Davie Boy said so. So it must be true! No matter how much it may hurt you now, you will feel better for it all in the long run. You only have to wait for a billion years. You can do a billion years standing on your head. Can’t you?

Well, he may have someone directing his every move. For example, have you ever heard of the “Brain Slugs”? They are a fictional race of beings that attach themselves to your body (kind of like a Body Thetan) and intercept all thoughts going to and from your brain.
The bottom line is they soon take over your life and control your every move. Kind of like a cult.
The Brain Slugs come from the Brain Slug Planet. They were first identified in the sometimes hilarious TV show, “Futurama”. It takes a while to get into this show. But many people find it to be one of the best comedy shows ever made.
The episode that deals with Brain Slugs is one of their best ever and it’s a good way for anyone connected to a criminal cult to spend 22 minutes. I hope you might be able to find it and I think you might enjoy those 22 minutes.
Best wishes to you.

Ann, he’s a senior citizen. Probably no real job, very likely no meaningful relationships, and no money. He was in for 28 years; left for six. Dollars to donuts the cult got him back and in the SO by convincing him that his life still has value, that he can still be USEFUL.
The good news is that if the Sea Org is accepting senior citizens they’re really and truly desperate for bodies, any bodies, for how will these old ones keep up with the teens and 20 somethings?
Its sad that someone this age would sign up to spend his golden years being micro-managed, disrespected and abuse by the cult’s Hitler youth, but its a free country and you can’t fix stupid.
For his sake I hope he bombs out of the EPF.

A quote from a classic lecture.
“The reason life is life and people are together and grass grows and trees grow and apparently the rain falls and everything else, is because it helps somebody.” -L. Ron Hubbard
Grammar: A comma is used before a conjunction (a word which links other words together).
“… and grass grows, and trees grow …”
It is more likely that the person who created the poster/flyer made the mistake as we have seen in other posts.
Nevertheless, this is the dumbest quote ever – so I’ll pass on the lecture whence it came.

What is a project prepare to go back on the Sea Org? That one struck me as really sad, he’s been out for six years and he’s going back in?
Ammo Alamo says
I feel sure he has to pay to be sec checked to prove he hasn’t read any anti-Scn materials or watched any anti-Scn material on TV. That might be hard to prove. If he has been out six years and not seen reports about any of the abuses of Scientology anywhere, then he’s had his head up his assets all that time. Maybe he’s having a hard time making rent, so a berth in a Sea Org closet will at least get him a roof over his head.

Hello Scribe. What a lovely analogy you made.
Just don’t join the SO and expect to keep any of the money you ever earn as a writer.
AAMOF, if anyone ever joins the SO, they cannot expect to keep any money that passes through their fingers. There is a secret code of rules that govern the workings of SO members and Rule Number One is:
Any money that ever comes into your possession belongs to the SO and you must immediately go to SO. Go directly to SO. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. Just go to the SO and give them all that money.
By the way, Rule Number Two is:
Anytime you go to SO, bring all your credit cards with you. We will have a big party and you will receive a lovely party gift for each credit card you bring with you.
Scribe says
Thanks Skyler. There’s as much chance of me joining the SO as the Dalai Lama becoming a greater serial killer than Ted Bundy.
Clown Prince says
Let us all bow down to Dave for the Golden Age of money grubbing and keeping alive the larcenous lunacy of Source-erer.
Old Surfer Dude says
Or…we can tie up Corn-On-The-COB and take turns slapping the shit out of him.
Clown Prince says
I dream of Davy with the phony airs
Borne, like a viper, with that slimy stare
I see him ripping faces night and day
Time to kick his sorry ass, who here wants to play?
Old Surfer Dude says
Another outstanding rhyme! They flow from you like water.
Valboski says
I would pay money for that opportunity………I wish I’d have head-butted him and tossed him off the stage instead of shaking his hand at that awards event…….now that I know I was complicit in the fraud that is $cientology……
SILVIA says
Wow…Clive Rabie’s letter sure is an indicator of how bad… very, very bad, things are at Flag.
Oh, and the person was ordered to arrive Wednesday or Thursday. It’s understood it has to be before 2 pm. Heaven sakes, what a scene!

I must spend too much time watching serial dramas. But every time I hear the name Clive Rabies, I can’t help but sense the horror of being bitten by one of the walking dead.
Skyler says
Have you ever noticed that most SO members have the strangest names?
You don’t meet too many people named Smith or Jones or Taylor or Anderson.
The SO is filled with people named Haverlauchuck or Magnfallesonblar or Mr. Laurent Malherbe or Claudia Waugespack or Marian Kapusto or Stan Gerston.
Ever think these people are too embarassed to give out their real names?
Skyler says
Darn. I meant “embarrassed”.
Peabody says
Stan Gerson is an OT 8, real estate broker, scientologist, volunteer minister, and magician.
Skyler says
Hey Peabody,
I never realized that Scamology had volunteer ministers and magicians.
I suppose I learn something new everyday. But I got to wondering. What is it do you suppose that a Scamology magician makes disappear?
I suspect that regular readers of this blog will know the answer to this. The truth is that anyone who belongs to the scam does not require a magician to make this disappear.
P.S. I’m just trying to be funny. Please don’t think I’m trying to insult you.
Peabody says
Not at all. As a matter of fact, Gerson is so good at making things disappear that I often wondered if he used sleight of hand or maybe it was an OT ability doing an as-isness of an object. If the latter, I thought that would be very cool and perhaps it was worth spending $2,000,000 to be OT.
P.S. I’m just trying to be funny. Please don’t think I’m trying to insult you.
Peabody says
After my response, I realized that I, too, can make things disappear. Unfortunately, the disappeared objects are eventually found under a stack of papers.
Peabody says
I replied to your comment. Hasn’t shown up yet. I’ll wait a few days before I re-post it.
Skyler says
Darn. I meant Magnfallesplatblar – not Magnfallesonblar.
I hope Mr. Magnfallesplatblar won’t be offended. Sorry.

You’re not the only one to make that connection. THERE is a guy who should choose a better “handle” to use if ever he wants to be taken seriously. That once was called a nom de plume, IIRC.
Then again, the scns still in ARE the walking dead.

And the regges of the cult are vultures feeding on what flesh is left.
Aquamarine says
“Clive Rabies.”
A name straight out of Dickens. Almost as bad as Uriah Heep.
Old Surfer Dude says
But did it mate
I Yawnalot says
With what?
Old Surfer Dude says
I’m really not sure…
