They were the heros of the Big Balloon Bust of Ventura
Why aren’t they doing something about Ventura instead of giving money to the non-existent org in Albuquerque?
Just who is this guy?
And why would anyone want to give him money?
Another week gone…
Still the same number of man hours needed as last week?
Any excuse to try to attract some wogs…
Hopefully.
Maybe they think there is no Spanish-speaking Google so they can get some suckers?
Oh, what a thrill…
Would not want to miss out on a live-streaming 360X humanitarian!
But then again, if he’s got so much money, why doesn’t he just pay for it all?
In fact, why doesn’t the IAS just pay for it all?
The Chan Man has roared back in a big way…
His loopy lectures are one thing.
They’re just the set up for the “one to one appointments” where he goes in for the wallet grab.
Speaking of closers…
Who would possibly WANT to become a “badass Body Router”? This is a profession that nobody wants.
But why do they need to bring in a NON-STAFF member to hat their “public” on body-rtouing.
Albuquerque or bust
We have seen it in Ventura and now in the Valley.
You do know the Valley org is completely empty right? How about doing something to make that ridiculously expensive investment pay off?
In scientology it is always “something new” to take everyone’s attention off the last failure.
The answer to question #1
Yes, bodyrouter.
Oh dear…
This little old lady is spouting drivel. And she really believes it.
I wonder when the last time she saw black oily residue ooze out of a person’s body…
The circular bridge
This is all they’ve got — their OT’s redoing their TR’s. That is some big news.
The first ideal “Continent”
You are going to have an “ideal” continent without a single org in India, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Pakistan, New Guinea, the Pacific Islands etc etc
That would be pretty ideal wouldn’t it?
But you will have a building in Canberra and Adelaide.
Intro Course Completions
Presented like they are major Grade Chart Comps
And here’s another one…
Bet they don’t show any “after” photos of how many showed up…
They had some stock shots they took on Ribbon Yanking weekend.
He was with LRH
SO veteran.
Class 6 OEC.
Given a lecture at a tiny mission — not even one of the closer tiny orgs (Pasadena, Valley)…
Why is this on a ship where there are no drugs?
They crew don’t need this message…
Commedy
They are going to do a spelling bee and it will be hillaryous…
What a fun day
Bet they will have at least 3 people there.
Awful pay!
Someone finally included the full quote.
New recruits should be flooding in the doors any minute now.
They hope this will be sponsored by the city…
Everyone knows its scientology. Not a chance.
Two years…
And what do they have to show for it? Patted themselves on the back 47 times.
Not much else…
Stock shot?
Why not real people?
Cringe Corner
That was me a LONG time ago…
Once again you nailed it. Re: a job you hated but were afraid to quit. I started out as a body router and that just about described it I had to laugh!
Having your very spiritual existence for eternity threatened if you failed to make your quota.
Thank God I can laugh at it now.
However , one very fine tuned set of (quite decent looking young ladies in their 20’s ) as body routers at the old Cosmod Sacramento Org, under Lynn Irons as head of Div 6 had it down pat. They were hauling young males off the nearby college campuses with great enthusiasm. Talk about your bait and switch though as the first question these guys had when they got to the org was ” where’s that chick that brought me here? “
Is it just me or does this Michael Chan guy have that Cheshire cat grin? Sort of makes you wonder how anyone could want to entrust their money to him – like all that will be left is that grin that says “Sucker”.
I suspect that the map of Bribane is a fundraising thermometer to show those in, “Look how much we’ve raised!!!! Look how little there is left to raise!!!!! We are SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I’m betting that those handing over for a new status think it’s an area graph as opposed to a even spread y axis showing approx only 3/5ths complete.
Perhaps I’m wrong but as this cult is built on deceipt, i doubt it.
Every time I read something from HAPI in Scotland I shiver. They sound fanatical. More so than others. The pressin that place has to be 10X other orgs. Ugh
“Awful pay.”
Well!
Evidence further that OSA reads this blog. Or possibly the Dwarf Himself.
Not long ago yours truly commented very sarcastically about this key phrase being deleted from from some M’org’s staff recruitment promo. Editing out LRH -blatantly!
And now, lo and behold, this very phrase has been put back! And its obviously mandatory that ALL M’orgs include that phrase. Obviously 🙂
What an RTC-type win this is for me! I’m helping in my own modest way to Keep the Tech Pure.
Its warms my heart to know that OSA and/or COB pay attention to a failing, Internet-fringe Bitter Defrocked type like me.
I think I’ll write a Success Story. Maybe I’ll submit it to Advance Magazine. Truly, a miracle has occurred.
Yo OSA and COB Sir!
I have LOTS more suggestions about how to DE-squirrel the tech.
Stay tuned!
Much love,
Aqua
Those young men and women in the Personal Efficiency promo look like actors to me. Just saying.
Chicago was actually saying 8300 hours last week, so they’ve made 100 hours’ progress on CF – just 82 weeks left to go at that rate! They wanted 200 hours a day in their last piece, but that they can only get 100 hours a week work done on a priority project is indicative of how few people they must have left; the one photo shows 7 diehards willing to show up for that sort of “fun,” presumably putting in a realistic average of about 15 hours volunteering per week.
Maybe that’s the sort of thing that caused Austin to miss their projected opening last month – with still no sign when it will be.
There’s Mr. (methinks I’m so) Wonderful Tom Cummins again, with that smile of his that looks like a snarl. Don’t ask me why but this guy just grosses me out. Its not logical. I don’t know him. And its not because he’s a Scientologist who donates heavily to the cult either although that doesn’t help. No, I don’t know what it is but just looking at him makes me want to take a shower. Strange, I know.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Same here….😖
“I wonder when the last time she saw black oily residue ooze out of a person’s body…”
Answer: NEVAH! Only in her dreams/nightmares, I’m sure.
By my quick calculation, Cummins will be “live-streaming” at about 4 AM to be “in” Perth at 4 PM. Yeah, THAT’s going to be lively and upbeat!
In my experience, NO one functions very well at that time of the morning.
I’m a nonstop sucker for Scientology’s ludicrous promo. The policies on how to pump out the hype promo are being followed.
So James Byrne is still alive and has racked up 52 years, he’s got to be one of the longest term Sea Org members alive.
He’s now been a Sea Org member longer than LRH was founder of the movement, LOL.
He’s got more stats than LRH for his decades of duty to the Sea Org.
He’s the full package, a ringer for the ultimate Sea Org member role model.
I love what you said about body-routing. It was the most hated job in my org.
Something I never inspected when I was in Scientology was the automatic thought I had when contemplating talking about it with non-Scientologists: “I can’t explain Scientology because it’s weird”. I never followed that thought through to, “Then why am I in Scientology?”. I only got out because they declared me.
Body routing??? THey couldn’t get me to do that, EVAH. I just don’t DO that sort of thang.
So many illiterates in Scientology. I’ve said it many times: they’re not doing the KTL, Hubbard’s “solution”.
I thought sheep dipping was what they did to Hibbard’s military records? 🤔
Central Ohio’s Latest Completion! Brittney Barnhart!
But the look on her face screams: How did I get wrapped up with theses idiots! And they probably want money from me!
Poor, pathetic Adam Viszler must really struggle in life. “peopel”, must be the Scottish way of spelling “unstopable” people. In fact, his story is a great opportunity to test your grammatical skills. I know that is a catch phrase, but these gullible culties really do live in a deluded ‘mind fog’. A month or so ago, I found myself in Brisbane on a business trip. With a couple of hours up my sleeve, I taxied to George Street to visit the only org/mission in Brisbane. For the uninitiated, Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Aus. The org/mission is situated in a street that time has passed by long ago, and in fact, has no eye catching appeal whatsoever. It strikes you as if the cult leaders purposely wanted to hide from public view. I walked up a very shady, narrow stairway to a couple of old rooms. Probably built around 1940. A couple of girls attacked me as if I was Brad Pitt or some other ‘dream dude’. The place felt sleazy. It was old and worn, dusty and extremely uncomfortable. They kept nattering away, not realizing they were never going to break through my inbuilt shield of street-wisdom,developed over a lot of worldly experienced years. After, what seemed like eternity, I took leave and left with a handful of flyers. Going back down these creaky old steps, I couldn’t help but feel genuine sympathy for these girls. Having a brother, who was roped into this insanely clever cult a lot of years ago, I felt confused, cranky, irritable, frustrated and mentally weary from trying to read these girls giddy minds, as they spewed their bullshit. Then I read into todays’ flyers that, the cult had taken over 3/4 of Queensland. Their belligerent arrogance is astonishing. You would expect to get more mates turn up for a Saturday arvo BBQ than there are $cientologists in the whole of Queensland.
I’d LOVE to see that “LRH ED” which can’t have been issued during Tubby’s lifetime.
Great intel and amusing post, Scott – er, Brad 🙂
An Oatee 5 and 8 redoing a TRs course? Shouldn’t they already be able to do all that bullsh*t they say they gained from the course when they became Oatee? Shouldn’t their level of confront and communication already be the best? How are they so blind to this?
I may have to make an outfit covered with my Scientology Lies bumper stickers and Aftermath cards with lights shining bright on them and attend the walk in Dunedin.
Sure, you made your own bank and mocked up your own BTs, but your TRs are out and we’ve got just the course for you!
Chicago CF project. “Don’t miss out on the fun!” I guess filing is fun as long as exclamation tech is used. Ummmm not. Filing is not fun. I much prefer the scan and shred method. Right now I am scanning my recently deceased father-in law’s files (well we call them piles, he called them files) so they are shareable with the entire family. I have a 5TB hard drive that I can hold in my hand only has 1GB of data on it right now and I am almost through with the paper. Next, I will scan and transfer all the cds and dvds of photos and videos to that hard drive. If a fire or flood were to happen, all I have to do is grab my purse, my small pelican case with my digital storage drives and my camera backpack where I also store my laptop and I have all that is important to me. The rest of what is in my home is “just stuff”.
Why in the world would anyone even in the 20th century, much less the 21st century believe huge stacks of paper were important? Oh, that’s right, they are scientologists.
Val, what you are doing, i.e, your “scan and shred” program is – well, let me put it this way; with no exaggeration, you are LIVING MY DREAM. Seriously. I walk around fantasizing about taking a month off or at least a couple of weeks JUST so I could do NOTHING EXCEPT scan and shred ALL my paper (filed neatly but still taking up way too much space) and get caught up. You’re living my dream.
Awww, @aqua, living the dream. Tell my poor aching neck ;-). Nah, actually, I’ve discovered some real treasures. The nice thing is that with our parents and aunts and uncles dying off, some of the younger generation are getting to see their progenitors in living, moving color. Being able to share things digitally instead of having everything stuffed in some damp dark hidey hole is a dream actually.
How is “having CF in order” going to allow any expansion? Rhetorical question, don’t bother to answer. Current scientologists are in hiding, it is apropos that their filing system is also in hiding.
OMG, Val, I can’t believe it what you’re telling me. Because in addition to 35 years of absolutely-necessary-to-keep dox for work (properly filed but still taking up far too much space, and I find file cabinets depressing) I also have a gazillion photographs – loose. In several large bags. “Living my dream”, I’m tellin’ ‘ya.
Val that is SO smart! I really need to implement the “Val S & S Tech” here. Some extended family lives in Sonoma County/Santa Rosa where the Tubbs Fire was and had to evacuate. Recognizing how little notice they had and all the info that’s important to have (people who lost birth certificates, ID, policy numbers, etc. had to take months just to establish who they were in order to take advantage of any programs designed to help) at a moment’s notice?!?! Well it just makes you seem like the absolute genius you are!
Now… sigh… to embark on that journey!
If I might ask, what type of scanner and equipment did you get and find to make it faster/easier to do?
@jennyfurr (Pats self on back) well yes, I am a genius, but my grandkids pronounce that geek. 😜
I just have a MacBook Pro laptop with a Video conversion program installed so I can convert random files to MP4 format, a DVD Drive, external SD card readers, external 5TB hard drives and an Brother MFC Color printer sheet feed scanner with slide and negative adapter and of course my pelican case. I choose the drop tested hard drives that gamers use. You can get the drives on Amazon for less than $100 each. The whole setup cost me less than $4,000, the laptop being the huge expenditure. I also pay for cloud storage just in case. OCD? Well maybe just a little, but hey any family member who wants a photo or video knows I have it scanned and organized right at my fingertips.
I keep giving other people passwords to the online storage but so far everyone just comes to me for what they want. I’m hoping someone will at least be able to find them when I die (a few dozen years from now I hope).
PS The first project I did it with was all my old scientology docs including old Auditor Mags. They accidentally fell in the fireplace after being scanned, though.
“That was me a LONG time ago…” (the last photo)
So sad.
I was that kid. I loved doing courses. I did them with a friend and, in a sense, was pleasing my devout parents.
