It’s hard to top a letter from a scientology lawyer, but here we go…
It’s Epic. World-Changing. Powering Up The Planet.
Every event has to be more over the top than the last one. Where can they go next? They already sound like they are writing copy for Marvel Superhero comics. Mad magazine?
Aren’t they ideal already?
How can their files not be filed? They are “ideal”???
Big Weekend?
This what passes for a big weekend in HAPI. A professional FSM comes to try and squeeze some commissions out of your few sad public?
But don’t worry, he will literally jolt you up the Tone Scale and make you OT POWERFUL ABLE. Hell, it’s better than auditing…
The Money Grubbing has no limit
Trying to explain to the tired and penniless why they should keep giving money to the OTC when they also have to give it to the IAS, the FSO, the Ideal Orgs, CCHR, Applied Scholastics, Planetary Dissemination, Criminon, Narconon, WTH and the COB Birthday Gift Fund…
Food, glorious food
Cupcakes. Wow.
And Fran Andrews will be there convincing people to give money to the IAS to help the psych campaigns when she knows that do NOT fund CCHR and she and her other staff will be out begging for money separately to try and keep CCHR going.
It’s catching on
Come for the $1 pizza and by the way, there is a graduation happening too…
Celebrate the grand accomplishment
“Ron’s vision has been realized. An empty building.” After 4 years they still don’t have 20 Objectives completions.
6.5 year anniversary?
Any excuse for food.
What the hell are these people “celebrating”? That their org is empty and they cannot pay their utilities bills (or staff)?
Seven Wonders
I bet you her 7 “wonders” are a little different than mine.
It is a wonder that the IRS is allowing them to abuse the tax system.
It’s a wonder anyone continues to give them money….
It’s a wonder anyone buys the bs — “To be OT to go OT”??
etc
Moneywinds
Would not be Thursday if there wasn’t something from the most OT Org on earth offering to help you make money.
African American Cultural Epicenter
It just never looks very culturally epicentry? If this was New Haven it would make more sense…
More cultural epicenter news
From the other side of the country… And look at that crow of the entire staff of this “ideal” org…
Mission Possible Expect The Impossible
Huh??
Mighty Stupid Miami
It’s UP, UP, UP.
Really? This org is perhaps 10% of the size it was in the 1970’s. But they just keep repeating these silly sentences as if they MEAN something? Don’t they read what they say?
Charlie Chan strikes again
The truth is that this guy is only there to reg people and earn commissions. Nothing else.
If this is true….
Then WTF is GAG and GAG II? L. Ron Hubbard himself said in 1969 they were delivering “the exact, correct, speed swift technology to every being.”
The people that put these things together don’t appear to read what they say. But that’s nothing new.
Cringe Corner
OMFG. What are they thinking?
And this tells you what a booming “ideal” org in “the first scientology city” is really like — this 7(?) year old is “one of Portland’s most productive FSM’s.”
Freudian slip of recent graduate: “I’d like to thank my auditor, LRH for the tech and COB for making it all impossible.”
That last picture with the 7(?) year old girl really makes me queasy. What in the Nine Names of Odin are they thinking of?
Gross…….. But Mike, totally off topic, watched you with Aaron Smith Levin and was so disappointed when the “interview” ended. What a cliff hanger! And I hope you are going to tell more of your story about early Sea Org, please.
That letter begging for money is classic,
Please just us money to support this list of activities designed specifically to screw you out of money .
This child is getting admiration , validation and approval from her parents and all the adults in their circle. She’s getting some spending money too for what she’s doing. She’s thrilled, you can see it. Her cognition about the cult will come but don’t hold your breath because when it finally does occur, its going to be rough, very rough, for her, I’m sorry to say.
Wow.. love bombing that little girl. Sickening !
That’s exactly what I was thinking, Phil. I’m pretty sure she’s headed for the SO. Sickening, indeed!
Lots of funny in these Thursday Funnies, Mike, but “Mighty Stupid Miami” get my Most Funny vote this week 🙂 Thanks once more for all that you do.
“OT Powerful Able”? Sounds like some sort of horrible soul sucking energy draining drink. The photo of the cup cake and cup of coffee in the top left corner of “Food, glorious food” when looked at in reality shows that the coffee is actually in a ceramic thimble with a tiny handle glued to the side. Now you can guess how big the cup cake is.
6.5 anniversary? Are they kidding, what’s next the 6.75 anniversary? Wear your cowboy duds and bring your wallet and if you forget it we’ll drive you home to collect it and wait while you fill up a paper bag with cash from the nearest ATM. Always remember that we care.
Ryan Woodley; yet another “never heard of him Scamology shill.”
Mission Possible almost made me choke on my coffee from laughing. “Special Guest Speaker” and “Location to be Announced” were hilarious.
That last piece is repulsive. Plain and simply repulsive.
Little Sasha has blown a lot of mass from scientology auditing and now she’s telling her friends about it so they will nag their parents, “I want to pull out all my stops like Sasha!”
Ryan Woodley hmmm. Did a google search to see just how super duper an internet marketing specialist this guy is… http://www.ryanwoodley.com/ – lol. He’s got a facebook page that has 14 likes and hasn’t been posted to in 1.5 yrs. But perhaps tha isn’t him… Oh wait I found his site… http://crazyeye.wix.com/ryanwoodley#! Wow, wix.com now that is internet marketing supa powa to the max, moreover and heretofore never before seen world-changing marketing hutzpah indeed! Where do I sign up?
That one guy says “I can’t wait to make my imagination become fact.” That pretty much sums up the whole of the “tech.” Good luck with that.
Hi FOTF2012, Thank you for that great post regarding imagination and tech.Could not agree with you more.I second your good luck with that as yet another clam or whale or SOer gives it all for David Miscavige.It does make me feel ill but one look on this blog and I’m good to go.Always,Ann.
Cheers, Ann. I agree about this blog — several eternities of thanks to Mike Rinder for hosting it.
“In the last 3 days I have heard over and over that Michael Chan coming to Scotland and his seminars have been a “game changer”.
Have they no grammar check? No proofreaders? Instead of a “game changer” seminar, maybe they should invest in a basic English grammar course.
And can’t they find some pictures of different cupcakes? Those don’t look all that appetizing. What’s wrong with strawberry with pretty sprinkles?
a comment about nothing important, but something I couldn’t help noticing… on the “just joined staff” photo – are those ladies in official Sea Org uniforms? They’re hideous. I feel embarrassed for the people that have to wear that ensemble. The pants are huge, baggy, and too long…
Hi TJ, I’ll say,where are those hot pants and the SO caps set at a most jaunty angle and the sparkle in the eyes! Gone out with the tide,but never coming back.In one of the promo pieces Mike gave us,there was a dude in Sea Org uniform ,looked like he had squirted mustard all over it! No wonder the still ins are morose,wearing those uniforms would depress this happiest of souls! Always Love to U and yours,Ann.
On the “Dear OTC member” letter.. the first reason they give for asking for money is “we do capers throughout the year..” Capers? Really? I thought my understanding of this word was flawed so I looked up the definition: Capers: a playful skip or leap; a prank or trick, a hair-brained escapade; a frivolous activity; a criminal or illegal act, such as a burglary or robbery. (from Dictionary.com) Also: a frolicsome leap; a capricious escape or prank, an illegal or questionable act, especially theft (merriam-webster dictionary). I don’t think I’d want to fund any capers.
Hi TJ,Being in Baton Rouge I saw capers and thought those are really good with eggs or tuna fish or crawfish etc,gosh the Sea Org must have gotten some cooking in! Laughter so you are way ahead of me with your definitions! XO Ann.
Haha TJ you word cleared with the WRONG dictionary! That’s where you went wrong. 😉 I thought the same thing as you when I read that.
Old Surfer Dude
You made me dislocate my hip (again) when I fell off the chair reading your reply to the dude who sold his harley for more training. Worst thing ever happened to me was when my parents disowned me after I went nuts in scio.
Hi Richard D,Very good to meet you.Yup my late parents especially my Dad,Mom could not care about me either way,but I got put through the wringer after being put through the super ringer my last years in SO. I went a little nuts too for a time.But 37 years after I blew,I’m still here and you are too! That is something to celebrate! OSD really makes me feel happy even when I do not think I am at the time.Then I read his posts and I’m so cool and happy again.No wonder he is the 8th wonder of the surf world! Always,Ann.
Ann
I’m pretty new to blogging so I’m learning to be more careful about what I say. My parents really didn’t disown me. They just sneered at me a lot and wouldn’t feed me right.
Hi Richard D, No worries I was new to blogging as of Jan 15 here with Mike and look at me now,I have been and done and blogged so many things I could never have done before and driven Mike and y’all nuts,but that is the beauty of living outside the bubble. You are doing great!Love,Ann.
I assume you’re back in good graces with them?
You also took me seriously. I’m a blogging newbie and my stupid wisecrack is probably a real life incident for many. I do sincerely apologize. Richard
Oh, no worries! I’m one irrelevant Dude. But, whatever you do, Richard, KEEP POSTING HERE!
Old Surfer Dude
You totally nailed it with your reply to lawgrrl34. That’s really, really it. The true expression of cult mind.
Hopefully this is also really it. Kids today are all on the internet. It will be very, very hard for the poor brainwashed parents to keep her totally isolated from information and truth from her friends, classmates and her own studies. She’s just a child and dependent upon her parents, but as she ages at least she might have some forewarning before she gets swept up into full cultism.
“Prosperity Conference” on the Freewinds is the opposite
more like “Poverty conference” except they don’t hat you on soup kitchen locations,
bread lines, or homeless shelters.
You give to the IAS until like magic you are broke
living in a car, dumpster diving outside a Mc Donalds confused about how this happened
and nobody is buying your status trophies on Ebay.
When ever I see something calling upon ‘The Seven Wonders’, my earworm plays the Fleetwood Mac song.
Poor Michael Chan, he has to travel all around the world selling $cientology. I do have to wonder what his take home pay is like. A job like that requires a nice kick back to boss and constant monitoring of travel costs. That job is only given to the most loyal minion. Wasn’t Chan supposed to be the money guy on the Fleecewinds? I guess that market has dried up and now he has to ply his trade on the road. Perhaps he can take one trips proceeds and escape?
All of these ‘invitations’ have one theme, ‘give us money’. Why can’t the clams see that? $cientology has become a giant Amway selling convention, where they just sell to each other and they don’t have useful cleaning products anymore. Ok, the brain bleach probably sells well.
Hi zemooo, I have always had a thing for Fleetwood Mac and Seven Wonders works very well for me too.Your comment on brain bleach is great,what an image of David Miscavige I just got! Thank you,Always,Ann.
Re: Dallas Idle Morgue. “Linda or FORCE can take your reservations.” Now that’s deep desperation if you’re going to start forcing people to come to your events. Will it by the point of a sward?
I hope poor Sasha doesn’t end up on the rpf when her stats go down because her little friends realize they aren’t going to her party at chuckie cheese but going to the org to stare at each other:(
Hi Lori z, Nice to meet you.Such a sad but true post! Ann.
I couldn’t help but notice that Michael Chan has a new and improved “assertive pose”.
It’s ideal.
It’s Model Ideal. And, hey, it’s NEW AND IMPROVED too! You just can’t beat new and improved….
Don’t forget monumental and epic.
I thought that was just understood. It’s ALWAYS monumental and epic. Seriously, those two words have no meaning any more.
I do not think that means what you think it means… Haha. 😉
“Mad magazine?”
Hey now, woah! WOAH! Everything MAD Magazine covered was truly epic! Every golden cartoon! Every awesome dialog! You could tell! Just by MAD’s usage of! Exclamation points! Thrown in everywhere!
The Scientology lawyer’s idiot screeds and these idiot circus frauds the crims try to sell to their dwindling number of victims/customers don’t even come close to MAD Magazine’s grace.
“One Day On The Farm” was a masterpiece worthy of Rembrandt.
I worshiped Mad Magazine when I was a kid! It was always so bitchin’ when I got a new issue. Mad Magazine explained the world to me.
Hi OSD, You made me recall I had a subscription to Mad Magazine and loved it.Also The Harvard Lampoon Had a great editor who has now left but I read his work early on. You are so hot I have to wear shades. Tell your wife when we meet y’all I will bring leis for you both you will know It is me.When I married Walter in a very small ceremony because my late parents were still celebrating their divorce wars with each other I still carried Hawaiian Orchids because I am that kind of girl.Have a slide from1953 where we had a huge orchid house and I loved it.My parents always thought of me as the Hawaiian Ptincess drove me crazy because I never decided that.Yet I am thethered to cos with this in a strange way.And the thing is I how I would not be here today because of your force and your souls and the love you both send me.
Love,Ann.
Being from Hawai’i, I can tell you that you absolutely are a Hawaiian Princess….
Hi OSD, You just made my heart melt.I have a younger sister by five years who now lives in Newbury Park, CA been in the LA area for years.When she saw my 1970 high school grad pix,she ran around the house screaming you are such a Hawaiian Princess I hate your guts.My family never held anything back.It was like growing up in an eccentric crazy movie that never stops.Oh like that Church I think I know about Scientology wasn’t it called? Can’t wait for the day it is cooked to less than a crisp!Love to you 2 ? Ann.
You family sounds fun! Unfortunately for me, I’ve been an orphan since a week before Christmas of 1984 when my Mom lost her life to cancer. She was a 3 pack a day smoker. And, I’m an only child. But, you get over it and move on. I have a wonderful wife and son now.
Hi OSD, I am very sorry for the loss of your Mom to cancer.And you an only child too! I am so happy that you have a beautiful wife and son.Sooner or later the movie and modeling machine makes addicts out of everyone who passes through that door eventually.Just my opinion. If my cancers take my body y’all will know that the doorway to Scientology and Sea Org contributed to the cause of them.Of course the cult will say I deserved it for being such a DP/SP.Well glad as hell I am ! Love U,Ann.
Oh yes, MADD Mag. Snappy answers to stupid questions. Great stuff
Hi Mike, Well CF is still not finished?! And now you can bring your jams to listen to while you file,in my day that would not be allowed.TRs In and get those files in order now.A joke of the billion year contract,CF takes the cake! I really cannot believe this Clear & OT Cult cannot figure that fire trap of paper out! What has it been? over 40+ years and still filing away.Also Ron, I think Mike Tony Marty and all those amazing spirits that got out,plus us bitter defrocked apostates on the fringes of the Internet,I love saying that.We know our way to the Sun just fine and we are and did leave the spiral of perpetual death (illness is a separate category for me) but I would if I could leave both behind and love willing I will one day.As for that adorable little girl,how tragic that with parents like hers,she may become a Sea Org Slave for David Miscavige.My heart breaks and that stinks just slime what this cult is doing now.Always,Ann.
Afternoon Ann! Great post as always – I wondered the same thing about the files – how much filing can they have people do haha? It’s every week for years, them asking for filing help. Maybe it’s really a new course. , ‘ideal filing’. Hugs!
Hi Observinginsandiego, Thank you,our trains run on the same track! CF what a never ending nightmare! I hope you have a wonderful ride today.Communication between horse and rider so special so many good times for me.May you carry that all on.Love Always,Ann.
Thank you Ann! I didn’t ride today, just taught and did ground work. I agree completely – in my house it’s the dogs, horses, then husband and the cats. (My husband would agree) The horses definitely have the best communication skills, although it really carries over into ‘normal’ life (the better I get with horses the worse I am communicating with people haha). You should find a horse near where you live and visit with them. It is good for the soul. If you haven’t seen the movie Buck, or the new movie Unbranded I highly, highly recommend them, great horse movies. Buck is especially moving. Hugs and love, I hope your day tomorrow is amazing!
OSD2, don’t you know it’s perpetual? The CFs are meant to be forever! They obviously have waaaaaaaay too much time on their little cult hands. So what do they do? “Hey, c’mon in and help with CFs.” It’s never ending…reminds of the Twilight Zone.
Haha OSD, I wonder if it’s just a trick and they just harass you for hours about buying more courses/donating more money. They really can’t have any more filing that needs to be done.
I believe that’s standard….
A couple things of note from the Flag OT Committee dues payment begging letter:
“… we acknowledge those business who have achieved 100% ‘on service.'”
In other words, you acknowledge private businesses that browbeat their employees into religious participation in the business owners’ religion. First, even Scientologist employees have a rightful expectation of self-determination of the level and nature of their own religious practice. Second, these businesses either discriminate by not hiring non-Scientologists, or arm-twist their non-Scientology employees into their participating. Both of these scenarios are illegal, immoral and disgusting. That the OT committee wants your dues to go to celebrating such reprehensible practice is reason enough to tell them to go screw.
“we have ongoing media expenses which allows us to keep International Mgt informed of our production and progress,…”
You’re joking, right? I am expected to pay money to report to Miscavige what we’re up to? You can’t just copy him on the email that gets sent out every week recounting our tire-spinning and other pointless actions?
Great post Hgc.
Success stories for buying a service??? Then a success story for actually routing onto course? Then a success story for looking up their first word on course? Then a success story for going to the bathroom and actually finding toilet paper?…….on and on and on.
In the mid seventies I suffered a weak moment and sold my Harley to pay for a training package. Believe me I was NOT INTERESTED in writing a success story about that!
Sorry I guess I’m really out of the loop…..Dallas has an Ideal Org???? Why?
You did what???? You sold your Harley to pay for a service, Potpie??? Dude! That wasn’t a weak moment! That was you losing your mind!
However, I do have a Success Story. Reading Potpie’s posts enlightens me immensely. I don’t think I could do without them. And I’d like to thank Potpie for his words of wisdom.
Seriously??? No Harley? It wasn’t even my bike and I’m bummed out.
Thank you OSD for feeling my pain. To this day I truly miss that bike. Many happy times on the back of that baby. My definition of freedom was cruising the back roads of Indiana on summer/fall days. Stopping in small farm towns to have a couple beers and then moving on. Not to mention the girls who really loved Harley’s back then. Come to think of it you are so right….I did lose my mind. I gave up my freedoms for what some staff member felt my freedoms should be.
Potpie, you beat me to my comment. I find it incredible that Success Stories for reg cycles exist in the cult now. Its simply incredible, how desperate they are. Sorry about your Harley, btw. We all had a thing for them, back in the day.
Hi Aquamarine, I agree with you about success stories and reg cycles and Harley’s.Our Asho F CO had an absolutely gorgeous Triumph from about 1960.( motorbike)Did not hurt that he looked like Robert Redford and Paul Newman rolled into one either! Always,Ann.
Potpie, when my wife and I hit the lottery I will personally buy you another Harley. I can just imagine you riding into wonderful little towns in Indiana and having the babes check you out. And it’s good you ride in the summertime because, “It don’t rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.”
I know you only lost your mind temporarily, but, MY GOD MAN! IT WAS A FUCKING HARLEY! Sorry, Harley’s are special for me. You’ll live. Barely….
Very kind offer OSD. If you buy me one then of course you will get yourself one. We can pack up our motorcycle mama’s and cruise the beautiful California back roads.
Or cruise up the ultimate highway: The Pacific Coast Highway, aka, PCH, which runs through the town I live and surf in. If you’ve never cruised PCH, it’s an incredible experience.
Old Surfer Dude
I’m new to blogging and just figured out the reply feature, so hopefully I didn’t royally screw something up. I like your attitude. Do you sell sessions where one may “Bask in Your Glow”?
Hi Richard D, Yes OSD most certainly does glow all the time! Always,Ann.
Ann Who asked you!? I want a firm, fixed price from the Dude with a guaranteed EP.
LMFAO!!!! Now, Richard, that’s some funny shit!
Now, grasshopper, when you can snatch joke from my hand, time for you to leave Temple. You’re EP, will, naturally be, “I’m so fucking glad to be out of that toxic, evil & militant cult!” Now, carry on with your posts. They’re great!
OH Potpie!
That is the saddest moment of that poor Harley’s life – they generally mate for life you know.
So true I Yawn…..we (me and the Harley) had worked out the exact way to kick start it….only I could do it. It took a while to get through to the guy I sold it to that was the only way to fire it up.
Potpie that Harley is still out there waiting for you to reclaim it… It’s never too late. 😉
That’s the spirit, go forth Potpie and wreak Harleyness upon the earth.
“…wreak Harleyness upon the earth.” Nice, I Yawn! Very cleaver.
I wonder how much the big shot roaming FSMs like Michael Chan make (and are allowed to keep) these days?
Twenty-two years ago, Ken Pirak was pulling in $407,052/year in 1991 dollars.
Scientologists Report Assets of $400 Million October 22, 1993, Robert D. Hershey Jr., New York Times
(Only $400M? That was a huge under-reporting of assets.)
Rmycroft that is just disgusting and obscene that they are making that kind of money while asking others to take out loans and sell their houses, cars etc. disgusting.
I have the feeling that the current ones make less than the good old days because (1) there’s a smaller anemic crowd to feed from, (2) greed from above. They keep moving because it takes a lot of mice to feed a hungry wolf.
Knowing what they make could tell us when the straw hits the bottom of the milk shake.
thats a small comfort at least (that they are making less these days). Ugh.
I agree, Observingsandiego. It is disgusting and obscene. Unfortunately, though, the victims are enabler of the fraud being perpetrated on them by agreeing to not look, to not doubt, to never ask questions.
Well said Aqua. 😉
They can’t afford free pizza at Flag for graduation? Seriously? What does pizza cost….. When I graduated from college, the school had a lovely (and FREE) buffet for family and friends. Not pizza either…..hot h’orderves, appetizers, drinks….all free (I’m sure our tuition over the years paid for it). Same for law school….
And I will bet my college and law school tuition combined (granted this was some years ago) was less expensive than getting to OT III.
Geez Louise…. Even my kids school provides free pizza on awards night.
Also, was that Fearless Leader who wrote he had ‘pulled in attack and invalidation…..’?
That’s it! I won’t have anyone picking on poor wee Fearless Leader!
Hi Chee Chalker, Love your post.Actually in my college years I made really good pizza from scratch and whole wheat dough and Italian tomatoes and no Italian spoken to them either.If I could do that so long ago,there must be some mess hall chefs that can do the same today.Just cook big trays of pizza.Cos will have one pay for the clothes off their body,if that will put that body in the shop by 2:00 PM Thurs. Love, Ann.
Hi Ann! “….Italian tomatoes and no Italian spoken to them….”. LOL!
That made me smile!
It also made me think of LRH and his torturing tomatoes with the emeter…..
Now I’m in the mood for some homemade pizza!
But you bring up a very good point…..pizza is so inexpensive to make…..
So, if it costs $1 for a slice of pizza, how much for a glass of Kool-aid? That is the big question!
Hi Chee Chalker, I love U! Oh what to charge for that glass of KoolAid, let us start with every bit of cash you have ever had anywhere on the planet and go from there! ?? XO Ann.Back in the day any talk of emeters and tomatoes had me laughing forever! Flunk X Infinity! My IPad just had a fit! XO.
Chee, the pizza is cheap but the koolaid is quite expensive.
Hi Aquamarine, You are one of the reasons I am still here,honestly.Love,Ann.
Hey! She’s one of the reasons we’re all here!
reg reg reg away, to make the scientology circus even bigger, and this are their products https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIXMWCE0bbo
And the reason a walthy white boy who lives in New Jersey bought a training package at Harlem Org is…?
Hi Sarah Weigland, Nice to meet you.Maybe because that white boy is totally clueless about the world or the cult thought what a cute couple to get bodies in the door.Do they still not realize how out of touch and pathetic cos looks? I do not care one iota what color skin a person has,but when it came to selling the cos product,if an African-American who was a Scientologist could sell it like no- ones business long ago,the reason was the intention and drive to get all up the Bridge,that was the driving force not the ethnicity of the seller.Today the cult really does appear to me to be floundering.Money it has,heart soul and compassion? It does not and never will.Love,Ann.
… Because he’s a dumbfuck.
Because he’s a brainwashed dumbfuck…
Because he’s a doubly brainwashed dumbfuck…
I agree, he is also young enough to know how to use the Internet so he and his wife are triple dumbfucks.
My guess would be because this wealthy white couple from New Jersey are the only public at Harlem Org able to afford their auditor training packages. They probably live right across the George Washington Bridge in northern NJ, an area full of wealthy suburban towns. It is unlikely that most NOI public at Harlem Org would be able to shell out close to 40K per student for auditor training to Class IV, not even including the 10K for the 2 Emeters each student needs to own.
Laaaaaaaadies and Gentlemen! We have a winner! “…he and his wife are triple dumbfucks.” Nice OSD2, very nice.
BINGO! It’s like this…DM thinks he is great. DM thinks white people are great. DM thinks SCN is a white-people thing. DM was shamed into opening orgs in Harlem & Inglewood by Issac Hayes and Doug E. Fresh. DM said a bunch of nonsense about these being the “cultural centers” for “blacks”.
HUH??? If you’re a black American, and you were NOT born in Harlem or Inglewood…do you really think your “cultural center” is those two poor, urban, over-crimed, under-policed towns? It’s an insult to begin with.
So DM says we are going to help the “blacks”. What he really means is we’re going to help the blacks become more white (like us). We’re going to “civilize” them. Not my words. I’m being the spokesperson for DM’s brain.
So DM rounds up the only three black SO members that exist and transfers those unlucky souls to Harlem Org. Then he says “What the blacks really want is to be like middle-class white people. That’s their big button! All the fancy black people are already with Farrakhan. The ones who are left want to be like fancy white people. Hey! I hear the blacks like the white women! I bet some of that vanilla milkshake will bring the boys to the yard! Lou, get some of our prettiest, whitest women transferred over to Harlem NOW! The blacks won’t come into the Org unless we have enough white women over there!. Why do I have to think of everything!?”
And then it becomes “command intention” to have nice looking well-off white people to do their services at Harlem Org instead of NY Org to help attract more of the local black population.
The problem DM has is that even the black people in Scientology and in the SO did not grow up in black neighborhoods. They grew up in nice middle to upper class white neighborhoods. Scientology’s black people can’t relate to the people who GREW UP IN and LIVE in Harlem. There is still a big disconnect. The locals in Harlem still feel like “them” to the Scientologists working at the Harlem Org (even the black ones).
There are no staff members or SO members who view the Harlem community as “us”. And that’s why no local will step foot in the place. And that’s why the org is full of imported white people.
Hi Evelyn Bueno,Good to meet you.You make a very good point in your post.Long ago the person I knew in SO who was black,had come from working at the Johnson Space Center in Houston on the early moon shots.So what you say makes sense.Best,Ann.
Interesting comment, Evelyn Bueno. I agree with your concept of the staff in Harlem org not relating to the general Harlem community, even if they are themselves black. I don’t agree though, that the “fancy” blacks are in the NOI. I am acquainted with a number of successful African Americans in various fields, people I know would not give NOI the time of day. Louis Farrakhan’s rabble rousing hate mongering has nothing to do with their lives or thoughts, but then, these are educated, hardworking people whose decency and good sense preclude their being susceptible to Farrakhan’s bullshit.
Hi Aquamarine, I am old because Nation of Islam never crossed my path in SO.Actually no other racial group either.The one black I knew in SO was definitely not involved with them. Strange Cos is so addled now,it is so creepy how all the promo and auditing and everything is twisted just like the bridge twisted and broken for good,Always,Ann.
Got it on everything, Ann, and agreed.
I think the title may better represent the situation if titled, “Thursday Funny Farm”
What was disturbing to me was that little, precious 7 year old girl who was an FSM. My God! I hope she’s not headed for the SO.
I agree, OSD. Such a sweet little girl… the part that especially troubled me was how it said she went back to school and got her classmates interested in it… as a parent, I would be horrified to learn that my child, instead of going to play with Sasha after school, was being audited at the Church of Scientology.
If I had a child in that school, and some other child was trying to get the other kids into the cult, I would express my concern and then pull my child out.
Most likely OSD. El Ron liked the girls young, scantily clad and stupid in the CMO. Davie is probably the same…
Laughter! You got that right!
John, No, Davie is not the same. He likes his Tom in tight leather pants.
Hi Cindy,Thank you,you made my afternoon a giggle.Picturing David Miscavige in leather pants too.Oh Dear! Love,Ann.
Ewwwwwwwww, Cindy, ewwwwwwwwww! Now I’ve got to go and take a long shower…
Cindy, that’s such revolting mental image. You’re right. ewww
Brainwashing at the earliest age possible is typical of fanatics that look to perpetuate their views into the future. The children never have an opportunity to formulate their own thoughts regarding life choices.
As someone who is interested in Scientology only because all organized “religions” intrigue me, the acronyms and verbage appear to be nothing more than fantastical words to confuse. How can anyone follow, that is not “in”?
When oh when will the house come fallng down? How much more evidence does the IRS and the FBI need to determine that Scientology is a total money grubbing sham AND scam? I am hoping that there is a massive covert investigation taking place as we speak that will soon bring this “religion” to it’s knees. I would bet that the little man will not allow himself to be taken alive.
Oh how I’d love to have a chat to Mr. Charlie Chan. I would most certainly give him a new look on life.
Whole track perspective indeed. We needn’t talk about anything past 20 years to get a perspective on history. Let’s start chatting about organisational stats and the workability of knowing that shit! I’ll take on any card carrying scientologist on the applicability of whole track terms and R6. Especially since every process has been banned from ever being used on church property. How can they? They don’t even deliver the BC! OK then, let’s run a bit of Black & White to warm up with or maybe some mock up stuff, pick a subject or a problem you have (oh! I know one – lack of FSM commissions, let’s look for a basic on that), we don’t need no stinking meter to show you a bit of whole track truth up close and personal.
Yeah Charlie, let’s chat. I’m feeling a little frisky this am!
Scamologists… need a little guidance themselves. Talk about frauds, geezers!
It is obvious that these church fatwahs in the ads are making up these gains. Why? So they can have more integrity for the group. Does that really make sense? If you don’t have a real win in the church and are not happy make up a win and act like you are happy so everyone can skyrocket up the Bridge. I ask again does that really make sense? That is why I turned my back on this church. And they stabbed me in the back as I walked away and others too no less. 🙂
Yep, it’s an insane thing they do alright and your above post is about as much sense as you’ll ever make of it I reckon.
Another point or “thingo” that happens a lot is reliving the same win over and over and over, or aligning the same win to everything they see or hear. When I was a sup, I use to see that reoccurring “thingo” with students and worse, PCs in that they’ll reference everything to some win they had ages ago. They never quite get the same buzz again so they self audit to relive it again and again whenever they can and to use it to show off how well they are doing.
To my mind they aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed by any stretch of the imagination and one for one they are stalled right at that spot in time, they can’t audit and are tough PCs. Hidden standards of the retard kind!
Another thing which makes me race for the doors in that the awareness exhibited by lots of card carrying scios is that of basic course wins. I see people who are long term scios who’ve paid a zillion and been in for years writing SS that are kindergarten grade for the level they are on – scientology is just one bad indicator after another, and yet they applaud the same wins over and over in a downward spiral of agreement. They have reversed the Bridge.
All card carrying scientologists are miscavige determined and accept only the wins he will allow.
🙂 Don’t LOWER yourself to try real 2-way comm with a real church member. In order for there to be a real Church of Scientology there has to be real Scientologists first. My favorite policy: “Business before Pleasure”. Apparently this doesn’t apply to members of the church however. 🙂
Amen to that brother.
Unless you can speak sicno, you’re not going to get very far…
Outstanding, post, I Yawnalot! I’d pay good money to see that match up with you and a scientologist!
Interesting that one of the expenses of the OTC is: ‘ongoing media expenses that allows them to keep International Mgt informed of their production and progress’ …International Management does not exist and OTC progress is so meagre that it falls, really, on the category of wasted money.
And the poster of Mission Impossible – confirm your attendance, but the “location is to be announced’ and, oops, they also omitted the event’s schedule. Go figure…
Ideal Planet here we come..
Wait…..what??? You mean it’s not here yet, Guest? I was assured that the entire planet was now Ideal! Once again, I’m crushed…..
I wonder how much money would need to be raised to make an Ideal planet.
And if it needs one of them humongous, ugly bows.
Ideal Earth…
Now there’s a concept you don’t get to fool with everyday.
I did think that 3rd Rock from the Sun was a more adequate name, and the big head is miscavige I suppose.
You felt 20 feet wide? Lay off the cheesecake, Tubby.
LMFAO!!!!! Yeeee doggies! Now that’s some funny shit, hgc10!
And, Tubby? Take his advice regarding the cheesecake. Otherwise, you’ll have to go through a 12 step program to get off of it. “Hi, I’m Tubby and I’m a cheesecake addict.” (the crowd). “Hi Tubby.”
LOL 🙂
How much are prostitutes making these day (%)?
What does the Pimp make?
Who IS the Pimp?
Sasha, Chan, Woodley – if you are reading this please let me know.
On another note…
Those “come in and eat for $1.00” flyers need to be gotten to the families in the surrounding communities that are starving, homeless or ABOUT to be homeless. They can’t stop them from paying a buck for pizza and pop, right? As a “church” can they actually stop someone from entering their doors?
I know BUSINESSES have the right to refuse service to anyone – can a church say this?
If anyone gets “come in and eat with us” flyers – forward them asap to people that could actually use a helping hand. I’m serious too.
It’s never a good idea to sit down to dinner with someone higher on the food chain than you.
I have to agree with you there.

The Twin Cities org was constantly moving. For a while they were next door to the local CBS TV affiliate on the Nicollet Mall.
Why did it change locations so often? To give the staff a workout? To play Org roulette? To fool all the SPs in the Twin Cities? Or….is it on life support and they have to keep down sizing?
OSD,
Like an Old time Whaler they always move to find the pod of whales.
Always searching for Moby Dick for the COB.
Ah, thanks, Jose! Now I can sleep tonight…..
The current location horrifies me. I grew up less than a mile from this location, and I just cannot believe they moved from Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul. I just think of the people of the West End of St. Paul being sucked into this money-stealing mind-controlled cult craziness, and it makes me so shangry.
I was ‘shangry’ once. It made me hungry and pissed off all at the same time.
Anger eating is your ruin? There is a group I’ve heard of that can help you with that.
Well, there are a few, actually. Actually, it’s not so much a group… it’s more of a business. well, it’s actually many businesses. Ok, they are restaurants. Restaurants can help you with anger eating, especially if they serve buffet style.
That will be $1,400, 500.00 please.
Cash only. American dollars. No coins.
Wow! I believe everything you posted! The check is in the mail. No really, it’s in the mail. Why are you staring at me like that?
You need to word clear “Cash only”.
Fee doubled, no refunds. But I will provide extra drink tickets.
LMFAO! Damn, if it’s cash only, well, I guess I’ll just have to put on a Prosperity Seminar in YOUR local area. Also, you’re going to have to have one hellava lot of tickets for the drinks….
What are the parents of that child thinking? Auditing at that age? Having her sell Scientology to her little friends? This is sickening.
Sickening? No, it’s just Scientology in desperate mode. 🙂
Hey you doubters! It’s because little girls and boys are thetans in small bodies! Of course they should be working their collective little asses off! I mean, c’mon! They’re fully formed spiritual beings! Besides, it’s a much better way to get into the SO!
And lawgrrl34, “What are the parents of that child thinking?” Why, they’re thinking, “Wow! Is our little girl OT or what?! She must be a past life or natural Clear! Maybe we should get advice from her…..”
I wonder how soon the Sea Org recruitment efforts will start?
Oh, you didn’t hear? She’s already signed her Billion Year contract. She said being an upstat FSM was great, but, she could be much more useful in the SO.
Haha OSD. Maybe the friends she’s trying to recruit will tell their parents and someone will do a little research and call child protective services on them. Sigh.
Poor little Sasha – grim, grim, it’s child abuse.
Keep shining a light on this rotten organisation Mike, it will not survive for too much longer.
(Going to be one hell of a lawyer fest once it does start imploding)
One day, Sasha will be one of us.
Thank you for that, Thomas. Yes. Yes she will…
True, she’ll more than likely get to know a lawyer one way or the other.
Sometimes I hate my crystal ball!
Someone should report them!
Mike is doing just that!
helping children explore their areas of fear and ignorance are positive. Though, when it leads to brainwashing its just plain evil.
