Until I was left with only me….
You only think you got rid of all those pesky BTs and Clusters.
Until you get to OT 6, then you will discover you are not ONLY you, but a whole lot more BT’s and Cluster. Tens of thousands of them. How could you possibly be so wrong?
Not a lot of interest….
It seems people are NOT curious.

Where the hell have they been? Things are contracting fast….
Is it religious or is it not?
Why is this being done by the Church of Scientology?
It’s the tag line that gets me
“We are gearing up for unlimited expansion” — that was the promise when the Ideal Org was opened. That they had now fully geared up for unlimited expansion with their new building.
Wonder what more “gearing up” they need to do 5 years later?
Trying to figure out how to get any new public to come in
Wonder if this is their “gearing up”?
Sadly, they think they’re accomplishing anything at all…
In the WORLD
Yes, they said the quiet part out loud. Not a single Purif Completion in any scientology org other than Flag and Freewinds for TWO YEARS!
Now that is some straight down and vertical downstats.
Dude, the gloves….
You could take them off for the photo op. You took off your mask.

You can hear him in person spout off his space opera shit….
And then invest in a bottle of snake oil he fully and wholeheartedly endorses.

There isn’t one. There isn’t ANYTHING that will “Clear British Columbia” or anywhere else/.

Isabel Flemming – glad to hear you’re now “you” and have unshakable certainty. However, the next time you speak with a reg or a recruiter, you’ll find that apparently, you’re nothing more than a walking talking Pavlov’s dog, and pretty much everything you say will be coming from your “bank”. Unless you cough up not only all the money you have now, but all the money you will make in the next 20 years or so. Then you’ll be “you” again, with “unshakable certainty”
Mat Pesch says
I had to do OT 7 to really know for myself that it was a COMPLETE waste of time. I had to read the ethics and auditing folders, as well as watch the auditing, of three Class XII’s to get the full scope of the lie that is Scientology. These three people were COMPLETE mental train wrecks and their auditing was by far the worst I had ever seen and I had watched a lot of Read IT, Drill It, Do It auditing while on the RPF. The session videos could never get used in a tech film to show how bad auditing could be done because it would be too unreal to the audience. I am not exaggerating. For me it was the final straw that was holding in place a false illusion created by Hubbard and Scientology.

“You don’t need to have attended Part I”.
Really, really? Then you ar telling me part one was really usless. I would guess part II is just as usless?
ExScnStaff says
1959 – LRH declares that “order stays”
2022 – LRH orders, no matter how moronic, stay as the course by which the whole ship of Scn is sailed.
If one were to manage to put in order on the group collectively known as Scientology, I suspect the amount of confusion that would blow off would qualify as hurricane force winds.
Scooter says
This coming Easter my family will be gathering for our final time on my sister’s farm. It’s become a family tradition that we do every second year since my nieces and nephews were small kids – some are now in their fifties. We’ll probably have over 50 people there, camped above our private beach on the Murrumbidgee River, and it’ll be farewell to the farm as my sister and her hubby are selling it soon. They’re just too old to keep it going now.
I look at the promo above and the other crap that the kult come up with and I know that I’ll have a much better experience and my health will be enhanced far more by our family event than any 10 kult events combined that I’ve been to. Yet the poor deluded souls still “in” will go on killing themselves mentally, physically and emotionally trying to get a little of the happiness my family will experience – and the kulties will fail dismally yet again.
It’s a tragedy that these peeps are so deluded still and so ill that they continue their self-destructive behaviour and believe they are doing something so wonderful for all.
Even in my darkest druggy days I never fell that deep into mental delusion like I and so many others did because of $cientology. It really is way past time this cancer was surgically removed from the society.
Mike Rinder says
Oh boy, would I love a sleeping bag and a campfire by the Murrumbidgee!
Scooter says
Sorry but it’s the last year we’re there. Otherwise I’d say come on down. It’s still 2 weeks away and we’re still organising numbers so you’re not totally out of the picture mate. Plus there’s the annual hot air balloon festival at Leeton a few kilometres away so you get the spectacle of them going overhead just after sunrise. Put down another 4 places for you mate ?
Mike Rinder says
Oh, I wish….

Murrumbidgee is the Wiradjuri word for “big water” if I remember correctly.

Wow, that HELP flyer is awful. Nothing but condescension for Matthew and a lot of self-congratulatory back-patting for how they deal with him (as opposed to running his disabled self out of the org as Ron would have done).
Truly disgusting.

“Limited Seating”…in concert with limited attendance!
Quite right!
I’m planning on inviting 5 people for an Easter Sunday dinner.
Including myself that would make six.
Assuming they each accept, my dining room table barely fits six.
Four at the table would be more comfortable.
But I really want all five of these friends to come.
Even though cocktails and dessert will be buffet, I want the the main part of the meal to be a sit-down.
So… we’ll be a little crowded.
Seating will be limited!

Good heavens, Alco!
Invite this creature?
Aside from other reasons why would I interfere with my guests’ digestion?
But wait…wait!
On second thought, if Captain Miscavige insists on coming to me for Easter Dinner I don’t have to lock him out…there’s a seat in my bathroom! We can put the toilet cover down and serve him his dinner in there…that’s a solution!

Sir, yes Sir!!!!!!!
A place for you at the table has been reserved!!!!!!!
You will be my Guest of Honor!
And as such your place WILL be the most prominent at the table!!!!!!!!!!
In fact, your place will be the ONLY one at the table.
The rest of us will be eating out.
Hope you like hot dogs!
Much love,
Aqua
PS: Just a heads up that I’ll be calling you to confirm, re-confirm and then to confirm your reconfirm, and possibly to reconfirm your reconfirm, and so on. Your attendance is just so vital, you see!!!!!! The Time Is NOW, Sir!!!!!
Oh, and one last thing: Would you mind picking up some dessert on your way over? I’m partial to lemon meringue pie but do feel free to bring over whatever you might like. Thanks!

Dotey OT says
“I am not only my true self but have unshakable certainty.”
Translated – “While being unaware of it, I had the blinders fully installed, I am no longer able to have judgement in regards to this thing that I am doing, which people call scientology.
Outcome – Isabel thinks to herself “Why aren’t the orgs flooded with people, I don’t understand?”
The rest of the world – “There goes another sheeple.”
The 30,000 still involved in the scam “There goes another fine example!”
In the meanwhile, “Unshakeable” is an implanted word. “Certainty” most certainly is an implanted word.
Combined they add up to do the most important work possible in this sector, (Couldn’t resist) which is to spice up one’s success story.

I feel sorry for this woman (and for so many others). She is in for such a big disappointment – and in for so much confusion and pain as her life spirals downwards and she knows why deep inside – but can’t admit it.

What could be more tone deaf than a “Professional PR Speaker”–brought to you by the CoS? Seriously! Take one quick look online, or recall how the CoS was last presented when they got name-checked by absolutely anyone not subject to “Ethics” handlings. Does that give even an inkling of successful PR campaigning?
One clue is found in the flyer itself. It promotes “handling” those outside the bubble no less than three times. Just what the uninitiated dream of: Someone getting in their face and “handling” them. By comparison, this makes a Saturday morning knock at dawn by the Jehovah’s Witnesses sound positively appealing.
safetyguy says
I once had a really big German Shepard. Really friendly dog. Wouldn’t hurt a flea. The JW did not know this and I refused to tell them this. They would drive up, my dog would come out of the back yard barking. They would not look that her tail was wagging away and she just wanted them to pet her. Nope, they would get back into their car and high tail it out of my driveway. Some even hit the ditch. Funny how no one was home at my house to go out and help them get their car out of the ditch. Ahhh those were fun days right there. I think after three of them “visited” the word must have gotten around. They stopped coming to my house.
Aquamarine says
safetyguy, I loved your story. I once had a Shepherd/Husky mix. The most loveable dog who loved everyone. From time to time, for business reasons back then I would have to walk in what were considered unsafe neighborhoods. Now I am not someone who frightens easily. Other races, cultures, etc. do not automatically scare me or intimidate me. But in these areas there was some risk so I’d take my dog with me. Mostly – in fact, nearly always, there was nothing to worry about. But then a few times, maybe 2 or 3 times, I did feel uneasy like I was being “eyed” while it was being decided whether or not I should be mugged or otherwise attacked. These few times I would pull at my dog’s harness and say, loudly, “Easy, Terminator! Easy! Easy, now, boy!” (“Terminator” was not the dog’s name.) Now, saying this out loud was hilarious because the dog was oblivious and merely interested in his walk; he didn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, he not only liked everyone but was highly intelligent and almost naturally obedient. But then, he was VERY large and formidable looking, a big, powerful animal and being part Husky, his neck was like iron. As such if he had ever taken it into his mind to actually GET angry with someone, baring teeth and so forth, it would have been curtains for that person. Anyway, my pretending that this mildest of mild tempered dogs was vicious and had to be restrained was my little ploy to safeguard myself during the infrequent times my gut told me I could be at risk, and it worked 🙂

The JW came to my house one Saturday morning just after I got a kitten – the cutest tiny calico you ever saw. There were two women and a little girl – maybe 7 or 8 years old. I answered the door with the kitten in my hand (she had gone to sleep there) and it was ALL OVER. From then until they left, it was all about the kitten and the child. Maybe more of a Praise moment than they thought they were in for?? 😉
Helfreid Weber III says
Hello Briget.
Your post about the calico kitten reminded me of a funny story.
I recently got a new Apple IPhone and started asking questions to Cirie. She is the AI helper that you can ask questions and ask for other kinds of help.
I started off by asking, “Cirie? Can you tell me a story?” She told me many kids fairy tales – like Hansel & Gretel, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, etc. She must have known about 100 different stories.
Then – just for fun you realize – I tried to get a little naughty with Cirie. I asked her romantic questions, like, “Cirie? What are your measurements? How old were you when you lost your virginity? I don’t want to get too rowdy about this. But I then asked her if she would show me her ****CENSORED*** and she showed me a picture of a really cute little kitten.
You can have all kinds of fun with Cirie if you have a mind.
But you have to be careful or people will start calling you a “troll”.

I love these animal pet stories. Make me want to go out and adopt 12 dogs and 4 cats. And kittens, and puppies, OMG the heart melts.
So of -topic. Mike is being lovely about this 🙂

Finally they are offering a slogan that I can whole-heartedly agree with (on the Kiev Mission flyer): “Just take your next step over the Bridge!” Reminds me of my hikes through the cow pastures: Some things only lose their luster on close examination and are indeed best entirely stepped over!
Zee Moo says
All the ‘expansion’ talk is just that, talk. No one is ready to fall for the ‘finding your ruin’ crap these days. Thanks to South Park and Aftermath, everyone has $cientology’s number. Note all the ‘disseminate’ to anyone’ meme that seeks to harness the Flock to get more into the flock. Yes, everyone can be an FSM, just be prepared to lose all your friends and annoy perfect strangers. Every clam now has to refresh the scam pool, too many have escaped to keep the money flowing.
safetyguy says
Ahhh, a jedi knight. “Use the swartz!”
Well, COB does look a bit like Yogurt. (If you remember that particular movie.
Chris Shugart says
And they’ve ramped up their expansion to ludicrous speed. Just wait until they go plaid!
Briget says
Oh, I DO. And I’d love to see COB in that helmet – and with the same fit. But they’d have to flatten the bouffant hair first.
Helfreid Weber III says
We have discussed the ramifications of removing the bouffant hair. But HRH COB made it clear that would be equivalent to removing his entire personality.
One of the members questioned him on this. She asked him, “Are you certain of that? I am quite sure the bald look is very popular these days. After all, you could always tell people you had it cut off and donated it to some hair refitters so the money could be sent to the victims of the war in Russia.
But COB told us that LRH had sent him a confidential message from beyond that he was not to touch his hair because it looks just perfect as it is.
There was no further discussion after that.
Briget says
😂😂😂
Helfreid Weber III says
We all have to be very careful when discussing COB’s hairdo in this blog.
The subject is a very touchy one for COB. His entire ego and most of his personality is interwoven with that hair cut. I fear for the health and safety of the poor people who are responsible for presenting a hair appearance that he will consider satisfactory.
To this day, I still remember the screams of, “OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!!!” that would resonate from the personal bed chamber of COB. Seems like he was never satisfied with the job anyone did with his hair.
If COB is looking for better ways to get people to donate more money to the cult, he really should consider holding some kind of auction where a single strand of his hair is auctioned to the public. He could surely raise a fortune. Don’t you think?
