Pasadena for Ventura?
Why? You need to concentrate on Pasadena because your place is EMPTY. Drove past there the other day and not a soul to be seen anywhere inside…
Maybe you could get out of the chicken suit and start doing something to try to make your own org produce anything at all.
It’s EPIC
They’re Gods and Goddesss.
Pity they are so powerless they havent been able to renovate a building they purchased 15 YEARS ago…
St Hill Size Founding Staff
By the time they reach St Hill Size the founding staff are all going to be dead.
This really describes HAPI
A small, failing, nothing place that has been that way since it was founded. If the whole agonized future of this planet is relying on HAPI-like places then we all better bend over and kiss our asses goodbye.
Second City second to none?
Well, if that’s the case it is First City…
Logical thinking is not a forte of scientologists.
Funny they don’t mention scientology
This is being held in AOSHAF!
So spiritually uplifting.
That’s what they all say…
And not a single one of them has EVER made it.
Don’t be fooled…
This is just an excuse to get anyone they can in the doors of the “church” of scientology
Come to scientology…
…to find out about Bektashism
Sketches, performances, fun and craziness
Rockets, flowers, cheese…
what more could you ask for?
Something that made the slightest bit of sense?
TWTH/NOI
The full integration is almost complete.
Just need some WISE-guy NOI people doing the prosperity seminar gig and the merge will be a wrap.
The last recruitment pool
“Even the paycheques are swelling”? Are they selling children now?
Who would pay $100 for this?
If you would then Bernard Percy IS smarter than you, so maybe you will learn something from him….
Otherwise, not so much.
What do the rubber duckies mean?
It may not be your first rodeo but you clearly still haven’t learned a thing from all the earlier ones.
The latest news about front line dissemination in LA?
In 4 words: there is no news.
That’s an easy one…
The psychs don’t even know you exist.
They don’t have enough people in Africa
They are desperate to get them from anywhere. Even the other side of the planet. The 5 Clears a year they make in Africa was never going to be enough to keep the doors open…

The comments on the post of the three pregnant women is the most degrading thing I have seen on the “funnies”. Masquerading as a joke is the reality that they believe babies are adults in tiny bodies. They are just produced to be little worker bees. No mention of family. Romance, thinly veiled word for sex, is used as bait for people to come to this org. Not love or relationship. Handmaids Tale comes to mind although I have never watched it. Women are breeders?
I thought the same thing! Omg!
I was in for a long time too.
I received successfully the Scientological Implant that “We are going Ideal” tht
I gave and gave and gave a lot of money to GO IDEAL
But we NEVER went Ideal.
Scientology decided to sell the building where they extorted $17,000,000 out of people.
Most of those folks went bankrupt.
I may too.
I sure hope you’re kidding, OTA. But, I don’t think you are. Bless your heart.
OSD – thank you for your kindness. Unfortunately for all of us, there is a price to pay to be in a cult that convinces you that you “know how to know” when you don’t know anything but lies about Scientology, the founder and the leader.
When you finally know the truth, you are discarded without sorrow and lies are then spread about you that you were such an out ethics piece of trash. It is all in the tech and it keeps Scientology Working.
I’m truly sorry.
If you look at the Vancouver BC Org Facebook page (very little to see) … here is the only comment showing from a Join Staff flyer posted in Feb 2018:
“Peter Byrne: It is an opportunity to finally put in the exchange for all the benefits you’ve gotten from LRH Tech.”
According to LDW on this blog, Peter has been running the shit-show in Vancouver since the 80’s.
Bitter, much…Peter?
‘World Environment Day’ What a joke! Not only are scientology the biggest spammers ever, they also insist in wrapping most of their publications in plastic. Everyone else is switching to paper wrappers, e-magazines, or compostable covering but not these champions of the environment.
MAN will have a new world!
That throwback to a sexist age, the windbag Hubbard, should have seen how dumb is statements would sound nowadays, using his bullshit magic powers.
And so forth.
I was in Scientology for 26 years.
I’ve been out for 8 years.
During my first 20 years in, I heard “We are going Saint Hill Size!”, stated with great enthusiasm countless times.
During the last 6, I heard, “We are going Ideal!”, said with even greater enthusiasm, countless times.
It is now 8 years since I left, and they’re still saying, “We are going Ideal”, with boundless enthusiasm.
Please excuse me while I pause for a brief facepalm
Is it truly so “awful” as many people say? I read something about it and in my opinion, it was brainwashing – don’t get me wrong, other religions do it as well. Once, I saw the first paragraph of a Christian school pamphlet where it said that being open-minded leads to temptation, so you must be close-minded and not think other than about god. If this is not brainwashing, I don’t know what is it.
Luke, what I was addressing in my comment was the seemingly permanent delusion of the Still Ins with regard to their to date unshakable faith, against ALL evidence staring them right in the face for the past 14 years, that new, large buildings will attract new people in droves to Scientology, and that this, as such, is THE solution to Planetary Clearing.
If someone knows that suicide will kill him, then why all the effort to prevent him from doing so? Some may claim that he must be insane if he wants to end his life having no other evidence to support their contention.
Skyler – I love the spelling Oat Tea Ate but I respond to OT8 as well.
heh – # of times over = certainty. No worries and thanks for contributing to the motion.
You are stating the truth and one should never apologize for telling the truth except if you are going up the Bridge in Scientology, on staff in Sea Org or other orgs, training, auditing or a member of Scientology.
If you dare tell the truth about Scientology, L Ron Hubbard and the leader, David Miscavige – you will be punished by paying for and enduring endless sec checks ad infinitum until you manufacture whole track crimes. Bat shit cra cra!
I think it’s much funnier below. I got a good laugh from it. And as for Bernard Percy he has been hawking that schtick for decades. In the beginning he tried to get about $500 or $1.000 for it. I guess that didn’t fly cuz now he’e practically giving it away at $100.
100 is 100 too much.
Way, WAY too much!
DAMN! I and my fellow mods and admins have had run ins with this Matt Dent Muppet recently and now I know why he doesn’t rack off when told. He keeps trying to get into out Chronic Pain Association FB group to give us the truth about drugs. He keeps trying to join and gets told NOPE. He claims it’s because of his religion we won’t let him join. No Matt it’s because you annoying
Hilarious!
Hmmm ….. did you see that this seminar contains practical fundamental?
Won’t that be great? So much better than all those seminars with all their meshugganah impratcal fundamentals. And whaddabout those seminars with all their practical non-fundamentals? I’m so fed up with them.
Won’t it be great to finally hear about some practical fundamentals? I bet you already know how great that will be.
Stupid scamatology!
I read all of them and the only thing I have to say is, I thought scamologists weren’t supposed to take powerful mind altering drugs on a DAILY basis.
“Australians are easy going, want to help, but are very gullible and believe the SP narrative of “we’re helping” ???
As an Aussie I agree with the start of that statement but not the latter!
Yes we are easy going! Yes we want to help!
BUT…
The reason you’re CRAP $camotology ISN’T being believed as much here is probably due to the fact we are NOT gullible enough to believe your BS and don’t want you in our country abusing and conning people!
Dear Matt Dent,
You are ignorance personified. We, here in Australia, are being bombarded continually with shams, scams, intended frauds and cons each day. This has made us very aware of an impending con-job coming our way. 99.99% of our population are aware of the trappings of $cientology, not to mention the pure childish insanity of the cult. $cientology absolutely reeks of the pain of human sociology that emanates from your, so called, orgs. Get a life, old mate, and stop spreading more suffering.
M.L. Scott
👏👏👏
Just the other day someone rang our “private” home number and tried to tell me they were from Telstra and that I had a virus on my computer.
I told them they were full of s*** and hung up lol
Youtube seems to contain a huge number of videos from people who say they have techniques to combat robo-calls and other kinds of unwelcome incoming phone calls.
I am extremely sensitive to people who I don’t want to speak with calling me.
I wish my phone service had better options to deal with these kinds of calls.
At present, I use an option they call “DND – Do Not Disturb”.
The way it works is that it knows all the people and their phone numbers you have put into your address book. The DND option enables you to specify that you wish to ignore all incoming calls that do not appear on the list of people you added to your address book.
In addition, it enables you to create and modify a separate list of phone numbers so that if anyone calls who is not in your address book or that appears on the list of numbers that you don’t wan to bother you, they are ignored. You don’t hear any ringer tone and I believe they are treated just like someone who calls when you do not pick up your phone. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough. My Operating System is the one that comes with the Samsung Galaxy S4 and I think it’s similar to most Android devices.
I tell you this as a suggested method by which you can ignore unwanted incoming calls and without the caller knowing that your number is actually valid. If they know the number is valid, many will just keep calling back until they get an answer.
IMO, the best way to deal with unwanted incoming calls is to treat them exactly like callers are treated when you don’t answer. You can always give them a message, such as, “That number is not in service”. But they will know that means you don’t want to talk with them and they will just keep calling back.
I wish we had a separated forum where we could post tips for each other how to handle unwanted life situations. If any of you know a good public forum where you can post and read these kinds of suggestions, I’d appreciate hearing about them.
I have used one called “The Straight Dope” and I don’t like that one. Actually, the truth is they keep banning me. But I suppose that is a good reason for not liking them. Isn’t it?
Hey Skyler,
Lol you had me giggling with “they keep banning me”.
The call I was referring to was on our landline which doesn’t have the options we have will our mobiles.
With my mobile if it’s an unknown number I just let it go to voicemail and if it’s a scam or similar I just block the number.
I’ve had Asian msgs being left on my voicemail lol sometimes wonder what they’re saying.
Wonder if Mike will try to put in what you suggested about a separate forum for us to leave tips for each other on? It’s a good idea 🙂
Damn! Where is this mythical edit button I keep hearing about???
“Will our mobiles” should be “with our mobiles”
*sigh*
I would guess that Mike has very little choice what kind of options may be added to this board software.
I’m not at all certain, but I expect Mike is not an expert in software design – especially this particular piece of software that runs this board.
I’d wager that it’s a huge amount of work to manage and oversee any web blog software and so we can’t really find fault with Mike over any perceived shortcomings in this board software.
Adding a separate room to this software would be a very large job and Mike would likely have to pay a lot of money to get the people who created this board software to do anything like that.
I would expect that if and when a private individual wants to start a blog like this one, they have to spend a lot of time examining the various software packages available to them and then they have to find the money to pay them license fees in order to use their package.
But there must be a lot more to it than that and once Mike had settled into this choice, I imagine it would take a large amount of time and trouble to change it around.
It may be easier to just use an existing app (like Twitter) that is widely used and just define a place (or hashtag) where we could all post. The big disadvantage with that is that someone would then have to spend a lot of time each day reading every posts and censoring those with problems – especially banning people who will try to create problems for us. Once some malcontent begins to misbehave and get banned, they act as if they have found a new hobby and there’s just no stopping them. Someone has to spend many hours every day searching for their bullshit and deleting it and that is just a terrible way to spend your days.
Skyler,
There is no reply button for me to respond to your post ☹️
As you say it would be a huge amount of work on top of what Mike is already doing so we can’t find any fault with him not having a forum also on this site.
I applaud both Mike and Leah for what they are doing. Since hearing about $camotology years ago and lack of information they would allow the public to know I was always suspicious of them. I’ve never been IN, guess I’m just what you call a watcher but I get really angry and outraged at how this supposed “religion” can get away with so much.
Any other “religion” will willingly show you their bibles etc to show you why their beliefs are superior for lack of a better term, and without costing you an arm and a leg.
With regards to using Twitter or some other social media to share our suggestions unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to be in that as I haven’t been on social media for years after having a really bad experience. This is the only “public” place I actually post and I even hesitated doing that initially.
We can just be happy to share our thoughts here with each other as long as Mike doesn’t object 😊
Nice chatting with you and I enjoy reading your posts on here.
The most incompetent people I. The entire universe are celebrating “competence”?? This makes me laugh.
Where’s that fatso, Hubbard? He was due back after 21 years of his death! What a piker!
He’s fallen and he can’t get up!
Now THAT makes sense!
😂😂😂 Best comment ever!
“How To Overcome Financial Stress.”
Get a good job. Don’t give the cult any more money. Cut down on any other unnecessary expenses. Pay your bills on time. After monthly bill paying use what’s left over to pay off back bills. Once you’ve paid off back bills, put a fixed amount of money aside each month and don’t touch it.
Humbly tendered to mankind from Aqua.
Aqua! All you said is SPOT FUCKING ON! Absolutely the surest way to be cause over one’s financial life and future. It is SO DAMN nice to hear there is someone else out there who shares the EXACT SAME idea as I. So, so rare. Thank you. Know I am not alone anymore! Whew!!!
Thanks, Glenn. It worked for me after I left the cult. I haven’t been broke or stressed about money since. And, no, you’re not alone 🙂 Even when I was in, I was uncomfortable and sometimes angry when pressured by the cult to go out ethics on finance. I’d resist, passively. I hated being told, effectively, to not pay my bills and debts and to give them the money instead. I’m sure there were many more culties like me who kept their mouths shut so that they weren’t KR’d for “nattering”. God, I’m glad I’m outta there! Oh, and btw, that “humbly tendered” thing was a parody of Hubbard. Just saying 🙂
Aquamarine.
Your humbly tendered to mankind parody wasn’t confusing at all. I “knew” where you were coming from.
Financial out ethics. From my perspective it is the highest priority in the cult these days. I And it sounds like you’ve seen it just like I have. Back in the “early days” it wasn’t as rampant. But it sure went “viral” when Miscarriage took over.
I am so, so thankful I learned how to control finances and avoid all the trouble and debt everyone around me fell victim to. I’ve had wives who went berserk incurring thousands and thousands of debt that I ended up having to bail them out of either during marriage or in divorce. They and so many other people I’ve known went bankrupt eventually and suffered big time. Losses of homes, jobs, savings, 401ks, etc. I would NEVER agree to letting some institution be cause over my life so NEVER signed up for anything I couldn’t afford, even in the cult. They NEVER got more from me than I agreed to. NEVER. And I am thankful to myself more than I can ever say.
The joy in discovering you and I share the same philosophy was heartfelt indeed. For honestly, I’ve never run across anyone else who has. 😊
Right on Aqua!
“fun and craziness”. Well they got that 1/2 right!
What? Fun & craziness DON’T go hand & hand?
Pretty sure the chicken is a duck. Some kind of theme for the California Alliance.
Matt rants and raves about how the government and the psychs are taking our freedoms, then vows to TOTALLY CRUSH THIS SUPRESSION. You’re completely missing the irony in that, aren’t you, Matt?
The whole gamut in this one. The ordinary delusional stuff and the over-the-top Hubbard threats about the supposed “trillions of years” of history of this universe that I can never believe anyone ever takes seriously. ESPECIALLY when he goes on about how serious this is. It’s like bad dialogue from a particularly melodramatic episode of bad scifi.
On the other hand, I agree with them about involuntary ECT. No way should you be able to be subjected to electroconvulsive therapy against your will, no matter how many doctors say so. If you’d rather take your chances, that should be your choice. It’s used for major depression, so “saving your life” would presumably be about risk of suicide. Why should other people be able to tell you that they think you’re so close to suicide that they are taking away your right to consent to such a treatment? I passionately disagree with Scientology about psychology in general, and I mostly disagree with them about psych meds & treatments. But such treatments must be voluntary. Treatments that alter your brain chemistry and affect your memory shouldn’t be applied without informed consent.
If someone is at an imminent risk of harming themselves or others, then treatment has as its principle objective the saving of lives. If a person, under influence of an insidious mental illness, is not capable of understanding the consequences of their own actions, then why would they be able to consent or not to a form of medical treatment? Do you believe, like that nut Tomas Szasz, that people should be free to choose to commit suicide, and that anyone who does so should not be restrained from doing so in any way? Psychiatrists usually only judge someone to be at risk of harming themselves or others if they are admitted to the hospital in the wake of a failed suicide attempt or when the patient has directly admitted suicidal thoughts which amount to more than just ideation. In practice, it’s really obvious when someone is a threat to themselves. The trend in psychiatry towards outpatient care has meant that fewer people than ever, not more, are confined involuntarily, and for shorter durations. In extreme cases, where a person is not capable of understanding the consequences of their actions, why would you trust them to make the right choice?
FYI, ECT has fewer and less severe side effects and is more effective than virtually all antidepressant medications. The risk of death comes from the anaesthetic (it’s not done to conscious patients), which is present in all medical procedures that involve putting someone under. I know this as I have a particular medical condition that affects my ability to ‘come back’ from being under anaesthetic. As long as they’re aware of it and the anaesthetic is applied under clinical conditions, it’s not a problem.
J.T. under our Constitution EVERY person must have representation and a day in COURT with a JURY. Until THAT is in place for these people then NO, there can be no legally forced “medical services”. Otherwise those doing so are committing Federal level felonies with sentences into the DECADES.
Why don’t you want to follow the Constitution?
I don’t consider myself obligated to follow your constitution as I don’t live in the same country as you do and as such your constitution applies to me about as much as any of LRH’s tech. Regardless, most countries with involuntary commitment laws have a mechanism in place for persons committed to challenge their commitment, and this information is required to be given to them at the earliest possible juncture.
I don’t appreciate your attitude. There are many, many situations where persons are subject to medical procedures where they are incapable of consenting, i.e., children. Since minors are incapable of understanding the consequences of their actions, others are entrusted with making those decisions for them. Usually this is the parents but in highly specific situations it may be others. Jehovah’s Witnesses (in)famously forbid blood transfusions, but in my province court cases have established that Jehovah’s Witnesses who are parents cannot refuse life-saving transfusions for their children. What about you? Are you opposed to giving medical care to children?
I could care less what you appreciate J.T. They you don’t want checks and balances on rights says everything anyone needs to know about you as far as your sanity goes.
Hi Cat W.
I have a relative who has a major depressive disorder and he requested ECT after trying everything else to no relief. The Drs eventually did it for him but only AFTER talking extensively to him and myself (as I am his next of kin) and explaining the process because I didn’t know all the facts about how it’s done, the advancements that have been made since early days etc…
In the end my relative is now living a HAPPY and HEALTHY life rather than being a shell of the person I knew growing up.
I understand the fears people have of ECT because I had those fears myself until I knew all the facts. It’s not done the way it used to be and there are different types.
In case you haven’t seen any of my other posts I’m an Aussie btw 😊 so I’m just posting to show you it is NOT done without the full knowledgeable consent of the patient and/or next of kin.
That’s just more BS $camotology is spreading.
Oh my goodness, Canberra and the evil psyches are exporting horror across the globe, again… heaven forbid!! That Matt Dent guy has more dent than just his name. I think he took TC’s “War of the Worlds” a little too seriously. Don’t worry Matt, next times it rains it’ll wash all those evil psyches down the drain. Oh, maybe not the ones hiding under your bed, you’ll have to man up and handle those with the garden hose.
OK, the memorial quote on the Way to Happiness book belies… something? “Rest in Paradise?” Shouldn’t that be “come back after your leave and re-join the Sea Org to clear the planet and that’s an order you or you’re going on the RPF”?
Speaking of the NOI, my latest video:
Scientology Freedom Medal Winner Tony Muhammad recounts when Nation of Islam members (“we”) beat up LAPD officers, took their guns and “them faggots ran.”

My wife and I were privileged to meet both Leah & Mike at the Skirball Center. Had a great time! And the food was wonderful! I think I put some pounds on, too. All in all, we had a wonderful time.
So wonderful to see you and so many other great people last night! Thanks for coming.
THANK YOU!
At some point, we’ll get that picture!!! AND the ride down PCH!
We had a hellava of a good time.
That’s so freakin’awesome OSD!!
Goddamnit, I’m officially jealous! Glad you had a great time.
Breathe in, breathe out. OH! Did I tell you about the food?
Has the Co$ been sued for copyright use for any of the fundraiser posters?
I’m pretty sure they have. Old old
Why is there a jet (DC-8) in the World Environment Day poster? They pollute.
Vancouver Org has “a fresh crop of auditors and executives on the way”. Emojis of pregnant women & angel babies. They are recruiting babies in the womb now?? Sickos
Bernard Percy – he’s buddy buddy now with Eddie Porkintenderloin. Bernie loves posting hate on his STAAD league Twitter. He especially loves tweeting his hate and harassment about Michelle LeClair, and she’s been gone nine years! Aww, poor Bernie BooBoo, did she rebuff you?!
Wonder if cowgirl Christiana Michael will show up at the Pasadena “rodeo”? Or maybe she will be too busy with a nude photo shoot.
Five Clears In A Castle?? Can’t wait to see the musical.
Kristin G, if that is in fact a DC-8 shown in the poster, they are probably trying to invoke some sort of subliminal message just like they do with the covers of their dianetics books showing a volcano. These images supposedly ‘key-in’ incidents on the ‘whole track’ related to the OT III’s level ‘wall of fire’ so that the viewer will want to do some scientology services. But, subliminal messaging is completely bogus. What is even more bogus is the scientology ‘whole track’, especially the ‘OT’ materials. For starters, the OT III incident was supposed to have occurred 75 million years ago, give or take a few seconds, when ice encased ‘thetans’ were dropped from DC-8s into Hawaiian volcanos. But, there were no Hawaiian volcanos 75 million years ago, give or take a few million years. I guess the ol’ grifter had some mistakes in his exhaustive research of the whole track. To listen for yourself how this “research” was conducted, check this out.

After listening to this, any Fool would recognize this as complete and utter bullshit, snake oil in its purest form.
Ms B Haven – I’ve heard most all Hubbapotamus’s lectures. My all time favorite is the one on the Marcab Confederacy racetrack. If that is not someone in the midst of a psychosis episode, in a complete drug induced stupor, than that state doesn’t exist. That creepy laugh is like what you hear coming from your closet during a nightmare. But hey, that’s the Silver Streak for you. No wonder the locomotive tried to run him down on Venus!
Dear Matt Dent,
‘You wrote that the Commissioner of Human Rights couldn’t get you out of her office FAST ENOUGH!!!!’
Could it have been that YOUR cray-cray was spooking the bejeebious out of her????
What!!! You we’re eating cray cray? And you didn’t share?

Oat Tea Ate.
I have seen folks manipulated, deceived and tricked out of everything they had. One eventually ended up losing the house and living in a car.
Complimentary luncheon in Tampa!! Whoopee!! Wonder if a bunch of homeless folks from the area (there are many shelters within a 20 minute walk) would be allowed in? Too bad the event is passed. I’d love to pass out the cult’s invitation to them all.
Glen – Scientology’s big winning EP is homelessness for many ex staff and Sea Org. It is so sad because the members in that won’t look have no idea the devastation Scientology does to the members.
If staff can recruit a homeless person that knows nothing about Scientology – they will. They will lie and deceive to get the stats up.
I drove past the Vancouver Org two weeks ago around 11:00 a.m. Not a soul in sight.
Does that mean we can break in and have a party?
What is with the picture of the three pregnant women showing off their bellies? I don’t get what it relates to. And just under it Mike writes, “Would you pay $100 for this?” It sounds like paying to buy a baby from the pregnant women.
Funnies item titles precede the image, not follow.
“Who would pay $100 for this?” refers to the $100 “Foundations of Brilliance” work$hop by Bernard Percy, shown in the image right below that text.
Also, please do not give Co$ any ideas about selling babies.
“What do the Rubber Duckies mean?” 😂😂😂 that’s great. Someone should walk into an org JUST to ask that question.
Overcome Financial Stress! Come on into Scientology and let Scientology hornswoggle, manipulate, decieve and trick you out of your entire savings account, IRA account, Stock portfolio and your families inheritance. See how that could be? Then you won’t have any money to stress out about.
Scientologists call this “winning”
Wogs call it CANNIBALIZING, financiallty ruining members using manipulation, extortion, fraud and deceit.
OT8,
Oops. Sorry. I did not see your post when I made mine about overcoming financial stress.
I hope you will chalk this up to, “great minds thinking alike”. If not, then I hope you will accept my apology.
