Hilarious video with Billy Eichner and Rachel Dratch that sets the tone for this week’s funnies. Watch it here
It’s the Season of Giving — to us.
Hey, I thought it was scientology that was supposed to be changing communities?
Dallas?
Promoting an OT 1 success story? I guess they don’t have any completions on the services they deliver at their “ideal” org?
The role of planet earth and why we are here…
Nothing like a promise you can’t deliver. Wonder what an “Ideal Org” event is? They have been “ideal” since 2003.
New status
Nothing gets scientologists more excited than a new status. Damn the volunteer work and who might be benefited. It’s the PR value that matters.
And they are already counting hours “assisting the OTC” for the President’s Volunteer Service Award… Gag.
Freedom Fighters…
What a sad joke. I am sure MLK or Gandhi would be proud of their efforts. Singing “carols” to themselves.
Life changing
I guess going bankrupt is a life-changing experience…
Bet this rocked out
Wonder if they are planning a Ramadan party too?
What does it take?
A large helping of crazy goes a long way…
Madly Miami
Wonder what happened to them as they are clearly NOT a strong org?
EUS is on a roll
Well, for them this counts as a “roll.” 4 pages of nothing but fun….
The ONLY thing missing for a Cleared Planet is the rest of the EUS ideal orgs. Then they will make 10,000 Clears a year. I guess they don’t realize that at 10,000 a year it would take them 20 THOUSAND YEARS to clear EUS…
Miami completed their “Construction Estimate”
A gem from a list of inane statements…
Very Special
Epic and monumental, watershed and straight up and vertical.
Harlem
STILL not done…
Nor Atlanta. But that is the best they have to show.
Meaningless drivel
This quote means absolutely nothing – it was written in 1978 or something… It has NO relevance to today.
WUS shows em how it’s done
Just throw some lines on the page without numbers, toss in some “8X” and “3X”. And by doing so demonstrate to everyone how an “ideal org” means NOTHING. Because this org has been “ideal” for years. They are NOT even SH Size. So, if they “8Xed” their VSD they must have been virtually 0. Because 800% expansion doesn’t get them to the “make-break” point.
Uncle Sam is going to pay for your bridge
Riiiiight… Liars gonna lie.
More from Tampa Match.com
What’s wrong with this picture?
7 of the 8 orgs made less than $1000 towards their “ideal org” status… And this is good news?
Potluckin’ It
It’s just sort of sad.
“We all have an enormous responsibility to bring to the attention of others information they do not have, which has the potential of causing them to rethink long-held ideas.”

To Leah Remini,
Thanks for the book.
Reading it is like hearing the echo, truth within myself, feeling courage and finding the hero that was always there, waiting inside. It is liberating, as if an old muzzle and iron mask were at once removed.
My dream today is to have the true nature of the cult revealed to all those inside still imprisoned by the system of mind-manipulation known as The Church of Scientology. Let’s hope to free them all within our lifetime, by granting them free access to information.
How long will the leader be able to mute the voices of rational critical thinkers?
We already know that he, himself is willing to be mute for the duration.
[quote provided by Chris Shelton’s blog]
Is it my imagination (or the psych drugs), or is the Eskimo slowly morphing into Tony Blair? You need to stop now, Quinn. You’ve chosen one of the few people on Earth with less credibility than a Scilon reg.
Points, miles, dollars…make up your mind, EUS, and stick with one euphemism. We all know what you mean anyway.
“Chicago completes the funding for the first phase of their construction”…you’ve let the building rot for eight years now, Chicago Org. You’re going to blow all of that money on the massive fumigation you’re going to need to get rid of the rats and roaches who’ve established quite a community there on South Clark.
So, who gets to be the person who tells Mighty My Mammy that Ron never read their promise to him, and that everything they heard from him through the SO #1 Line was done by some put-upon secretary who had to go through their drivel and come up with something plausible as a response? We could raffle the honor off and get enough money to buy enough copies of Ron Senior’s upcoming tome to push it to #1 on the NYT. Hey, it’s in-tech, and Books Make Booms!
Agree or disagree with you as the case may be, when it comes to rolling out the one-liners, no one tops you, Espi 🙂
I’m only as good as the material I have to work with. And the Scilons keep giving me really good material.
Roses are red, violets are blue, Espi, you’re great and Aqua you are too…
Hi Espiando, You are right about the SO#1 line. However it did take me years to realize that. Whoever wrote me was not some secretary and I can assure you I try very hard not to write drivel. Always, Ann.
They might have a few squatters too. Street people aren’t stupid, and a building that’s been vacant for eight years is fair game as a refuge from the weather.
“Bet this rocked out
Wonder if they are planning a Ramadan party too?”
Gotta say, to be fair, the Hanukkah party is probably one of the most fun of the year. They don’t care who’s watching, who says it’s too loud and they do their event and get to dancing – til midnight when they get thrown out.
Every other event I’ve been to is just a bunch of stick up their you-know-whats, politely clapping, chatting while eating, going home early, middle class Kool Aid drinkers.
“I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints – the sinners are much more fun.”
Hi Indie8million, Love U, Ann.
I loved the Eastern US pitch. My favorite statement was saved for the end of the piece–the dramatic climax:
“Long Island has a building they are working on which once approved and purchased will be very easily [sic] to walk right into.”
Behold the masterful turn of phrase by the purveyors of the only workable communications “tech.” This is truly an enlightened organization whose respect for formal education is second only to the Taliban’s.
Even more impressive is their sweeping vision: If you buy a building, it’s “very easily [sic] to walk right into.” As usual, they are on to something, as walking into someone else’s building requires a crowbar and entail the very real possibility of “very easily” being walked into a jail cell! So if your grand goal is to walk into a building, this is definitely the way to go, Sherlocks. Just make sure that in the process of fundraising you don’t allow yourself to get to the point where you won’t be allowed to easily walk into your own foreclosed home!
Confucius Say:
“Enter Long Island Org with money; exit with less”.
Earth to Cult: The way to make any Scn org easy to walk into is to restrain yourselves from squeezing every last dime of people.
I read it a slightly different way, Todd. To me, “very easily to walk right into” means that it has a doorway. This might just be the only part of the Idle Morgue that will not require a renovation, and thus more money fleeced from the LI public (whomever they may be).
I find it realy easy to walk into doors,I just get ten feet ahead of my body and don’t look back, whoa dude present time.
Christmas Potluck: Bring your check book, credit cards, deeds to valuables and 401(k)!
I bet that chick from the “it’s my career” poster is going to be forced to sell that diamond ring to buy food, if the IAS reg hasn’t already pried it off her finger.
+1 Sashie.
I was wondering about the same. Maybe it’s a prop from the epic new studios. They also photoshop them to make them look as if they are getting enough to eat.
Probably paste.
You’re being rough folks! Look, they are now giving food baskets to the Meritous Donors, they may even give that feller a tent after they make him default on his mortgage. At least winter is warm in Albuquerque!
Mike, it’s not 10,000 clears. It’s like 100,000 clears man! Come on, stay on top of it. Prior to GAG II walking into an org and going clear in a matter of months was quite unreal… Wow, what a freakin’ degrade. Let’s see I walked in and went clear back in the 80’s in 2 months. I’m pretty sure it is more unreal today than it was pre-GAG. You just had to pay for auditing, now you’ve got to run the IAS/Ideal Status marathon. Good luck buying any auditing. When I left the field was so drained dry there was barely anyone that had adime to pay for services. That was 8 years ago. I can’t imagine how broke they are now!
3X and 8X — of course! 1 comp x 3 makes 3 comps and 1K VSD x 8 makes 8K VSD, Hoo boy – stellar stats coming from these I-Deal places. With a little luck they’ll make 1 clear in a year. Impressive.
I think Leah’s exposure has really put a cherry on the demise sundae that is Scn today. I look forward to getting my son back one of these days. It won’t be long at the massive rate of fail (I mean expansion) that they are making.
All those ‘invites’ and most of them using the same exact Lron quote. Perhaps ‘guidance’ from above? $cieno land is looking more like a Monty Python religion sketch every day. I can play ‘spot the loony’ on every clam invite.
‘Bishop Franklin Harris is the boss of the Laurel Street Baptist Church, Inc, Los Angeles Cali. I wonder if the rest of his flock know about his $cieno high-jinks?
He has his own personal hagiography at:

Lame lyrics. “Please have snow and mistletoe”… shouldn’t that be Please have cash and credit cards.?
No mom I won’t be home for xmas, I’ve got to get my stats up, it’s a total hill 10 and all staff are doing all-hands all day on the 25th.
“…We’ll serve hash, and you’ll bring cash…”
The Ideal Holiday Song.
I think I’ve got it.
THE IDEAL HOLIDAY SONG
Sung to the tune of
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas” (sorry, Bing)
_______________________________________________________
I’ll donate for Christmas
You can count on me.
Corned beef hash, and all my cash,
I’m bringing just for thee.
Ideal Orgs must happen
Going broke’s no dream
I’ll donate for Christmas
And once more I’ll get creamed.
See, this is what happens when I’m up with insomnia after getting caf when I ordered decaf.
You lyrics are fantastic, Aqua! Maybe I should add music to it. I especially liked the, “And once more I’ll get creamed.” Nice!
Thanks, OSD. Here’s some more. This is what caffeine-induced insomnia does to me.
This is for HIM to sing to his Sheeple:
You’ll Donate for Christmas
Cuz you think it Helps.
You Retards will Max your Cards
With Laughs and Shouts and Yelps.
New Year’s Eve will find You
Pledging Happily
I grant Worthless Status
When Millions come to Me.
President’s Volunteer Service Award – packages purchased for $X (couldn’t be bothered trying to work it out) and you can BET they used a fake name or organisation to get them. Will they give them away free to the robots? Somehow I don’t think so.
Is wrapping yourself up in toilet paper supposed to mean something or is it just a way to hoard some for later?
Even the die-hards must be getting numb to this bullshit.
Wait isn’t Scientology supposed to have 10 million plus members yet less then a 100,000 clears have been made? Hmm, something doesn’t add up.
You know…I’ll let the cartoon speak for me today.
http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2015/12/10
I have read this guy has done original OT1, in the church. This level in the 1980 intirely dissapeared, replaced by new OT1. The original OT1 was a set of solo objectives processes used to orient a clear on his environnement. I did it in the early 1980. I really felt Buddha like . And from his success story this guy has the same kind of win. And he thanks for it COB, RTC, and GAT2! God, they certainly have nothing to do with those wins. Actually they supressed and put unworkable arbitraries on tech for 30 years. And the full irony of that is that this little reincarnation of Dr Goebbels in order to do GAT2, simply cancel all arbitraries he has himself created!
They actually deliver the same bridge that is grossly given in the indendant field. Including original OT4, 5, 6 and 7 which were digged out. It’s not a matter if scientology actually works or not, that’s another matter.
But they seem to have reverted to total simplicity and done the bridge as prior to the GAT1 shit.
The COB will comme up one day cancelling eligibilties as long as money is coming in, after all, even if he has to give few win to people, he can tolerate him.
Give the strange feeling that he is finally doing the cramming as it was said by people who left or were booted off scientology. I saw that actually more than once when flag started to check onto sevice fac of people, saying that grade 4 was unflat. they actually did that not long after marty Rathbun expressed this idea on his blog and audit few people on it (maybe in 2011).
For the church the best would be to throw Miscavige through the window but who is going to do it?
“I guess going bankrupt is a life-changing experience…”
Fucking hilarious!
The “Whats Wrong with this Picture?” Entry for Alberquerqie — uh, well, for starters, its Christmastime and many of the celebrating folks in the photo are dressed up as Pirates, and second, if you’re asking for money, using Pirates (who of course, steal from others and hoard their ill-gotten treasures) is not the best image you want to have to persuade or entice people to donate to you…just sayin’….
Bruce, I’ve been saying this for years. The cult is obsessed with the pirate theme. I’ve never understood why they would want to be positioned with murdering thieves and cutthroats. I was in for 25 years and attended a number of pirate-themed events. There has to be something the cult believes to be admirable about pirates because it is their go-to theme for fundraising, but I’m damned if I can figure out what it is.
Aqua – it will probably be based on survey tech of some sort. Pirates of the Caribbean i.e. Hollywood, has probably raised the PR of pirates to the general public. But when one thinks of Somalian pirates the flavor somewhat changes.
“Pirates of the Carribean”…yes, I can think with that, Foolproof. Johnny Depp had a definite appeal. Maybe he erased decades of Captain Hook’s evil image from peoples minds. Got it on the Somalians, though. Someone’s gonna have to come up with an Oscar winner to make them attractive.
I suppose its that charming penchant that Pirates have for slitting throats and looting pockets that is soooo “At Cause” —- a natural fit for the CO$ Regges …(smile)
“…using Pirates is not the best image you want to have to persuade…” Lol!
Problem is that the koolaiders are so drunk on koolaid, they don’t even notice this.
The Pasadena poster with their padded stats is pure rubbish.
Michael, it’s not even close to reality. Maybe you and I need to meet up in Pasadena sometime to go over to the Pasadena Idle Morgue and see what’s up.
I wonder how many NOI “Scientologists” attended the Hanukkah party?
Not sure they would want to attend a party of a religion they regard as a “Gutter Religion.” But, if they all got drunk enough, it just might work out.
A “Gutter Religion”? Farakkhan really said that about Judaism? Wow. How very ecclesiastical. No surprise he’s bonded so well with LMD.
Yep! Farrakhan said Judaism was a “Gutter Religion.” Seriously, both of these cults are made for each other.
The LRH quote about Scientologists keeping the real meaning of Christmas — and not mentioning at all that it’s supposed to be commemorating Jesus Christ’s birth — how typically arrogant of him….he says Scientologists are the only hope for Salvation in the World…I think Jesus would have something to say about all of that…
I hadn’t looked at it this way but you are right this is disgracefully arrogant. There are people who do far more good than scn has ever done for anyone so l ron can go and jump in a cold muddy lake and take his band of loonies with him.
Hubbard said, Christ was an implant out of one side of his mouth, while saying, Jesus died because of his own sins. And out of the third side of his mouth he said, “The man on the cross, there was no man on the cross.” And if you count the Lucifer edition, he says Jesus was a lover of young men and boys.
Boy, that Hubbard is something, right?
Thank you for bringing this up. It doesn’t get mentioned much. Forgetting for a moment the major amount of contradictions in Scientology. The OT3 Jesus data versus the OT8 Jesus data, how do OT’s reconcile this flagrant contradiction? HOW CAN A MAN WHO NEVER EXISTED, BE A LOVER OF YOUNG BOYS?
Actually because the OT8 thing was a complete malicious invention.
And you keep telling yourself that, no matter how much actual proof there is that you’re wrong. But, hey, L. Fraud said that what’s true for you is true, right?
Hello! I’m Old Surfer Dude!
Naturally, I surf, play in a rock band, own a home at the beach, go on vacations to Hawai’i and the Caribbean. Go to movies and hang out with our friends. I don’t have to work 14 hour days. In fact, I only work when I want to.
It’s my career. Make it yours. Leave staff now….
Okay, OSD,
Stand up straight!
Pat down your hair!
Cross your arms…
And smile!
(*shutter snap!*)
Gosh, I sure hope you got my good side! Is the picture going to be in Advance! magazine? Cuz that would be swell! Maybe people will read my story and make my career their career. Wow!
I hate to tell you OSD, but you are totally out-ethics. You should sell the beach house, the guitar and the surfboard and give all proceeds to the IAS. Remember, the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics.
And, you know, Doug, I actually thought of doing that. However, one of my best friends slapped me so hard, I immediately came to my senses and went surfing….
Now that is the lifestyle of a truly advanced being.
There’s just no comparison.
Sad and anxious, overworked and (here’s the kicker…) ENDLESS daily battles,
that is the lifestyle of the dedicated scn-gist.
You are being told it is you against the world. What makes that true?
Who makes that true? Who decided that?
Set yourself free. Claim your Identity, and in the very moment
YOU become bigger, more important and most of all more RELEVANT
than this self-ordained, self-aggrandizing organization posing as a church.
Do you really think they care about you, the individual person?
They care about your money, yes.
They care about how much work they can get out you, very much so.
They don’t care whether or not your family stays in the picture, BECAUSE it means COMPROMISING the potential time and money they are getting from you. When was the last time they asked you what you want out of life?
Never. At least not since they got you to sign the dotted line.
Do you still really think you want to wind up like L. Ron Hubbard? Have you investigated that story? (Your sacred church is not going to give you that information. In fact, you have to break the church’s law to even look outside the church to find out ANYTHING, including what “science” really is)
Do you really want to live life by his rules… until you die?
Hope to meet you on the beach someday, with a suntan and maybe a girl who thinks the best thing in life is seeing you happy. Thanks Old Surfer Dude, for showing us one real way to get the job done…-mm
Yes, OSD. Give’ em that dedicated glare with folded arms and big California beach boy grin. We want a recruitment shot of you in T shirt, swim trunks, flip flops, sunglasses on top of your head, surfboard on your left, band instrument to your right, sixpack of beer tattoo on your shoulder.
i luv u aqua always have
🙂 Marco.

As in, Barack Obama?
Somebody better tell the Secret Service the Prez’ name is being forged
Scientology touting itself as the Christmas miracle: there are no words.
I have a few words, though. Scientology should be touting itself as the Christmas Nightmare. Now that would be truth in advertising! Or maybe the miracle of the RPF!
I like how the “Santa Barbara Wave Riders” has a 0 score. What, no waves to ride? Must be a calm day and the ocean is as smooth as icing on a cake or a serene translucent lake. Either that or it means the org is a moldering corpse.
Perhaps their public have finally said F**k you when presented with constant demands for donations, good on them if they have.
The wave riders are having too much fun to come and do simple mest work like giving money and their time. The waves are calling………
I doubt there’s anyone in that org who surfs! Give me a fuckin’ break! Number one, they don’t have the time. And number two, I’ve never, ever met a surfer who was in the cult, besides me.
did you see the waves today? (Friday) omg, we had 60-foot breakers at sunset, up here N of San Francisco anyway…Transformational,
It was like watching worlds collide, standing on the edge of Earth. I was hungry, been running out there all day, and still i couldn’t walk away…
(i meant Thurs., yesterday- now im awake in the dark at 5:00am, weird old guy, me)
Quinn Taufer is getting a hardened look to him. His smile looks like a sneer. Apparently that’s what happens when you become a traveling swindler for a living.
Wait…what? He actually HAS a smile? No way!
I though it was Festival of LightS, not Light. How about a Festivus for the Restofus? 😀
No, it’s true! The Festival has one light and one light only. And you thought snagging toilet paper was tough! Try putting on a Festival of light with one tiny light…..
Be sure to include the dim bulb at the top of the heap.
Oh, yes! There’s a special place for that dim bulb…..
Gotta say I laughed pretty good seeing that Silver Flatulus award with Quinn Taufer standing there, holding a basket of crackers, chips and nuts for that poor sucker. Here’s some nuts for hundred$ of thousands of dollars. =/
Yeah, that poor sucker is Jim Olson. And he’s getting way up there in years – hell, he was old 15 years ago when last I saw him.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being old, it happens to everybody. But Silver Humanitarian is what, $250K? Jim’s no rich guy, not by a long damn shot. The only way he could find that kind of money would be to sell his house, if he even had one. Or hand over some kind of inheritance he may have received or something.
If he begged, borrowed, or stole that kind of money, the last thing he should be doing is flushing it down the shitter that is the Albuquerque org. He needs to be thinking about supporting himself and his wife in some kind of comfort, not ending up homeless and destitute because he pissed away everything he had (or borrowed) to that fucking cult.
I can’t imagine what the fucking reg said to squeeze that kind of dough out of the guy. That’s really fucked up, and Jim and Tina’s situation is just not going to be good.
Scientology is a Christmas miracle! I am gobsmacked. That is the funnest bit yet. And FNs by the tree! That’s another way of saying that somewhere under the giant pile of horseshit that is Scientology is 3 swings of the needle on a galvanometer. Sweet baby Jesus! Talk about the booby prize!
Once again, hgc, must I remind you that LRH invented Christmas? Yep! Just like he invented music 30 trillion years ago. So, yes, Scientology IS a Christmas miracle! I believe they’ll have a little manger scene with a slight tubby little baby Ronald in it. Imagine the look on the little kids faces as they gaze upon baby Hubbard. All I can think of is, awwwwwwwwwwww……
I have to say, I really didn’t like that video. It highlights perhaps the saddest element of Scientology – that a lot of people get involved, tragically, because of the cultural wasteland that 21st century America has become and Scientology becomes the stupid choice for a more “authentic” life, that video brilliantly showing how stupid and crass our culture is.
Scientology – because of the fact that is causes VERY real pain and trauma, its origins are “historical” (postwar deconstruction, monetizing social substance), and its First Amendment questionable status – for all those reasons and more, I think it deserves more “respect” when it is critiqued. This isn’t to say I don’t like when it is made fun of, of course I do, but over the top stuff like this actually takes away from the critical process, it de-sensitizes the viewer to horrible things Scientology actually does: disconnection, abortion, financial abuse, etc.
Sorry to be a wet blanket Mike – but sometimes certain pop culture Scientology critiques are so absurd.
Well, that’s one way of looking at it. On the other hand, a whole new audience of people are exposed to information that probably makes them curious to do a Google search. That video throws out a LOT of references to things. It is not educational, it’s like a film trailer. It hopefully makes you interested enough to find out what the whole thing is about.
The whole idea of Scientology is a fraud, selling you on salvation while delivering the holy opposite, servitude.
And they are so ruthless. And remorseless. It actually fits into the definition of psychotic.
They came up with the term “fair game”, am I right?
Well, that gives us, the rest of the world, a certain license to paint a representation of Scientology however we see fit without sacrificing anything in terms of integrity or validity. Anything that exposes the fakery and deceit, the fraud and the trauma, the greed and the secrecy… is justifiable in my book.
GET OUT THE TRUTH, however it pleases you, and you are doing the right thing.
Where to begin…”stand aside of the fray…”
Reading the copy for the posters is painful as hell.
I had a pet fray once, Linda. And I did, in fact, stand aside of it. But, my little fray ran away…….
I saw it’s mug shot awhile ago: he fell into a bad crowd and changed some. Now he’s in jail for being in an affray!
My worst nightmare has now come true. James…I……….I just don’t know how I can go on. My poor little fray….
Big screaming Tarzan Yell beating chest for Leah !!!
Ok I am putting a link to OT 1 theory with the caveat that those of you who still feel that you shouldn’t be reading these levels if you haven’t done them, please please do not click on this link.
http://www.xenu.net/archive/ot1/
The reason I am doing this is because OT 1 has so little theory, if it takes “just a few hours” to get through it, I am flummoxed as to how it can possibly be stretched that long and how many dozens of arbitraries have been added to make the theory section hours long.
I guess you could spend 5 days “auditing” on OT 1 if you really really really really wanted something to happen and kept hoping it would.
The success story really is the normal over the top blather you see these days.
I guess you can’t fault him though for attempting to turn this OT level into something.
It makes me wonder, however, how much of it he believes as most success stories you read these days could be laid side by side and it would be next to impossible to distinguish what the person was writing a success story for.
I have to apologize for eschewing your link. I find that even at the first paragraph of any LRH tract, I lose my concentration and get distracted by trying to make sense of the—apparently deliberate—insensible.
To me, this is the first stage of hypnosis. Just like sex, I only get hypnotized consensually; LRH is an unrepentant mind rapist and I try to leave the area when he casts his spell, even into posterity.
Nothing original on OT1 just an extended “Warterloo Station” objective
nah, that’s “old OT 1, they have a new improved OT 1 now. I love how his SS ends.. and oh yeah right, thanks to LRH. Gotta get that mandatory COB worship in there 1st. Ole Hubby would be pissed not getting top billing. lol
I’m sorry, I’m still confused as to what a cognition is… out of respect for those here who haven’t done or believe that one should not read/do these steps before one is ready for them, I will not repeat the steps, but I don’t have the slightest idea what one is supposed to “cognite” about any of this. my only cognition in reading these is that I’d feel pretty dumb at the end, because I don’t get it. I mean, I guess observation is a good skill, but to what end?
So what is the EP of OT1?
“Knowing that you’re only going to get worse if you don’t pull your head out of your ass.”
Jeez, Hubbard’s handwriting is terrible.
So, Rush Hinch, if your attention is off of your body and MEST, then where is it? I keep mine front and center on whatever and wherever I need it. Usually on my body and MEST. Are safe to drive around Dallas? Are you even here? Hello? Rush…?
And is it just me that imagines that the girls posing for the staff recruiting posters are being told “…good. Okay. Stand straight! Cross your arms! Good…now smile!”
Your comment reminds me of this page based materials from the inventor of the galvanic meter Especially 5. https://arnielerma.wordpress.com/2015/10/11/a-lesson-in-implication-by-l-ron-hubbard/
Hilarious video!
Gotta love this – Scientology rolling along discarding people it doesn’t like as fast as it can. http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/general-news/20151209/arcadia-woman-says-refusal-to-learn-scientology-got-her-fired-in-pasadena
Another WISE success story. Won’t those idiots ever learn? There are these things called, uh, labor laws. Someday, the “Hubbard College of Administration” may figure them out. But they took Lusida Rubber Products’ money alright.
By the way, whenever I drive past that place (the Hubbard “College”) when I’m in LA (it’s not far from one of my favorite chicken joints) I bust out laughing. Hubbard College of Administration, bwaaaa ha ha!
The Fatman’s “admistration” is a bad joke, and it gets its followers sued by their employees. Nice product.
Looking at that in a “new unit of time” with all the research I have under my belt – I had a wognition.
“Bodies in the Shop”
“Raw Meat”
This is real state of L Ron Hubbard when he designed the TECH.
He came from a broken home. He was a nobody that wanted to be something. He learned about hypnosis and mind control and played around with Black Magic. He discovered he could manipulate people. He found their buttons and exploited them (us).
He really had a secret hatred of mankind.
I believe he tried to get better but his own Tech got him in the end. Deep down he was a criminal with a deep hatred for people.
Due to his own crimes – he ended i[ hiding in a trailer in California from the Law, wearing disguises and lying to his members about what he was doing. He was broken and shattered, crazy and suicidal.
Scientology Kills! It even killed the founder. Whose next? David Miscavige’s end years will be just like Hubbard’s but worse because he hurt so many people and uses the money exploited out of trusting souls for his own gain. Miscavige will take himself out and it will not be pretty. He backed himself in a corner.
Mark my words.
I have thought long and hard about just what you are saying IM. I walked away from the cult and in doing so watched family members fall prey to the cult think that creates labels and is then willing to discard real people without remorse.
I have thoughts about how those loved ones will work out their lives as the inevitable change happens in the world. It is not easy to watch the pain and suffering that exists behind that emotionless facade of those that have adopted the tech of the cult as the be all and end all of life.
Aside from those thoughts, I have a wonderful life and a lot to be thankful for. And the experience of life in a cult has provided me with a deep appreciation for what I now have.
There likely will come a day when I will have to deal with those of my family that walked away and I hope I can provide some relief. I hope the damage is not too severe; obviously there are many examples of success stories out here of those that have told the cherch to ‘STICK IT’.
Carry on one and all.
Yo Dave,
We’re comin for ya good buddy! You are the proud owner of the fastest shrinking cult on the planet and you make all of the ‘very bitter and utterly defrocked apostates’ out here happy for ya! IM has your future all mapped out. Tick fucking tock, the dwarf ran up the clock …………… you finish it!
Cooper, I am SO happy for you and your new life. It has been such a pleasure to get to know you a little better and see your new life in action. It is beautiful. ?
Coop rocks! He always has…
Thanks Mary! I’m really glad you are a part of it!
Coop, I’d say you are a “success story” for leaving the cult. As someone said, the best revenge is living a good life and living well and you are doing that. You’re an inspiration to all who leave of what an ideal scene really can be. And when your family come out, it’s nice to know you’ll be there to perform triage and offer help while they destimulate from it all. I am glad I got to know you.
Thanks Idle Morgue
The deconstruction of the deification of Ron, that he himself created, is accomplished, in my opinion, with the direction you are taking.
Scientology (Ron) has so many safety protection mechanisms in place So many layers upon layers of mind control to keep us from seeing Ron “as he is.”
Ethics, threat, Intel, para military, benevolent realizations etc that keep a hypnotic spell around the true nature of Ron.
A few years ago, on Marty’s blog, I would bring Ron up as the cause for this madness. Some folks would go ballistic and attract me for being an SP.
These attacts are actually hypnotic responses from agreeing with Ron’s marketed messiahship and agreeing that criticism equals criminality.
The truth is that Ron was just a man. But he also was a very sick mentally man.
I believe, that seeing Ron “as he is” not the “alter issed” or “not issed” version is where being healed happens.
We were all in fact the student of a madman. And if you can’t consider that it’s possible the hypnotism is still in your mind.
Anyone who can consider as truth “all critics are criminals” is a very sick person. And anyone who follows a man with such an irrational and pathological world view is a victim of that insanity.
Word cleared, demoed and checked out insanity.
… Theta dancing?
Yeah…but, and this is a big but, it’s only for Body Thetans. I’m kind of surprised you’ve never heard about Theta dancing……
Ok if I join the Tampa staff do I get to marry one or both of those girls.
Also some flyers say click here if you want off of list. If you click will they come take you away from your Tampa staff wife and lock you in a room
Yes, Jeff, you will, indeed, get BOTH girls. Scientology is incorporating plural marriages now. Now I’m not if they’re banning ‘threesomes.’ But, hey, give it shot and let me know what happens.
Maybe as punishment. Look at the size of that rock on the first one.
Then think about going in hock for two of those stones !!!!
What if they reg you for Bridge money, one day the other night ?
That would be like waterboarded with bamboo shoots under the fingernails.
Re: the standings of that last “game” … I still don’t believe there is an ACTUAL Scientology Org in Santa Barbara … any proof? (I mean with REAL people doing training and processing) … of course one could say that nowadays about all the other alleged “orgs” as well …
Every Org on the planet is doing land office business now. New public is pouring in every single day. The academies are bursting at the seams. Course sups can hardly keep up! And those pouring in are also bringing their friends. I mean, Joe, this is just incredible! Imagine, every single Org is booming beyond booming………except Santa Barbara Org. Now, does that answer your question?
