Questions, questions….
Anything with very deep pockets.
As long as they have their own bank accounts…
If you are prepared to ante up before you leave… in which case we would LOVE to see you.
Yeah right….
Still working on CF. That is the “model” ideal org.
Nothing is free
Not even making gingerbread houses. How pathetic.
The Dating Game
It’s migrated to EUS now…
Food, glorious food…
wow, it’s dessert AND dinner. Better be prepared to pony up some serious cash for this treat.
Pasadena is going SH Size
It’s going to be the first teenage SH size org.

Not so Mighty My Mammy
Maybe it should be GrandMammy?
And then what happened? Crashed and burned and never recovered.
And it isn’t now. And hasn’t been since 1975. Did you also know that Philadelphia was once the capital of the US? And the Roman Empire spanned half the globe.
Did you also know the “Staff Captain” was abolished around 1979?
And how many of them are still there?
It’s being video’d
The code word for all scientologists “you need to show up to create a good [false] impression to show at the next event.”
But how cheesy can you get, these posters look like they are from the 70’s and this is what passes for “big news” these days?
A success without substance
“It was fast.”
Hmmm
If they are so good at teaching people how to get money, how come they don’t have any?

This church charges for Christmas dinner. No charity here.

Why don’t you drag yourself back from outer space and do something about the state of scientology. You don’t even have to visit the other side of the planet. Right here in the US would be good. Detroit needs some help. Hell, Orlando is a total shithhole and that’s just down the road.
Seriously?
Nothing the IRS would want more for XMas than…
An ideal Valley Org. Fer shure.
TruthTeller says
“Orlando is a total shithhole ”
Perhaps the place you stayed in on your income was below par.
I stayed at the Hyatt as I do when in Miami from time to time.
Keep up the good fight, for all the good it does
Mike Rinder says
Orlando
ORG
is a total shithole.
We usually stay at the Omni Resort Championsgate when I stay overnight in Orlando — very far from a shithhole. The boys like the lazy river and waterslides.
angryskorpion says
I think it’s finally over! The COB stepped down and apologized for everything that he ever did! And it was all due to the very thoughtful Christmas Eve gift given to him by the most dedicated Scientologist that he ever met….Tom Cruise. Mr. Cruise gave him the most sought after item by any little boy. An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! Unfortunately, early this morning, the news reported that he had “shot his eye out”. |>.0|
Merry Christmas Mike and to the rest of the SOS Group (Survivors of Scientology).
Jens TINGLEFF says
“MODEL IDEAL Saint Hill Size!” and “OT I GAT-II for OT”
Is it me, or are they saying less the more words they use?
dchoiceisalwaysrs says
Nice piece of Promo, for the Mighty Miami which claims it has promoted over 70 people to all sectors of the Sea Org (International management, Office of Special Affairs International, Flag, Bridge, IAS, CLO EUS, etc.)
Yet, surely this is in dis-accord with what David Miscavige’s attorney Wallace Jefferson declared in 2014 in Rathbun v. Miscavige et. al.:
” Plaintiff asserts that Mr. Miscavige exercised control because he leads the Sea Organization, a religious order within Scientology. But the “Sea Org” is not a corporate entity; it has no physical or legal existence. It is not incorporated or established pursuant to legal formalities. It has no constitution, charter or bylaws, and no formal or informal ecclesiastical, corporate, or other management structure. It has no directors, officers, managing agents, or other executives; no employees, staff members, or volunteers; no income; no disbursements, no bank accounts or other assets; no liabilities; no stationery; no office, home, address, or telephone number. It does not create or maintain any financial, personnel, or other records. It can neither give nor receive orders because it has no one to either give or receive them or to carry them out. It cannot sue or be sued. ”
Is there perjury or fraud involved in and of the above statements? The billion dollar answer is,….YES, and I hope the courts recognized it and indict and convict for both.
My very best wishes for the Holiday Season Mike and family and to all here. And of course to david miscavige and his conniving elves, his gift is graciously posted above in this post with sincere wishes it comes true in a competent court.

Well – it worked for Hubbard so why not have various forms of Org’s to fleece the flock out of their last dime?
Hubbard sprayed is confusion over the “state of clear” and it worked! Look how we chased that carrot and put up with the nonsense allowing him to call it a “science”.
You have your Mest Clear, Past Life Clear, Dianetic Clear, Scientology Clear ad naseum…
Why not do the Saint Hill Org, Ideal Org and Model Ideal Org…etc…
Standard SOP in Scamontology!
RogerHornaday says
This is a great blog and I think just about everybody knows it. Mike, you keep us informed of the latest CoS shenanigans from an insider’s point of view and you do it with the wit of a professional satirist. I know you’re on a bigger mission than to just play funny man. To varying degrees many of us share that mission too. You have given us a platform to do that. I have heard a few complaints that some of us ought to tone down our rhetoric in order to make this forum more inviting to UTR scientologists. My feeling is those who are teetering will see a free exchange of ideas, a concept consistent with the expressed ideals of communication per scientology itself. Anyway, here’s a hip hip hooray for you with a complimentary tip of the hat.
Aquamarine says
Roger, that was an extremely well communicated acknowledgement to Mike. I wish I’d said it. I heartily second it.

OH yea, one more thing. Way in the furture: A long long long time ago. In a galaxy far far far away Scientology Wars!!!!
angryskorpion says
It’s really surprising that the COB hasn’t claimed that the Jedi’s in Star Wars were modeled after OTVIII’s. That way he could advertise their special “powers” and also sue George Lucas and Disney for billions! LOL
Ann B Watson says
Hi angryskorpion, Thank you for your post. I have always wondered exactly what you posted, from the first time I saw the first Star Wars at a showing for Asho. There was talk of the Sea Org symbol on the Jedi helmets but it never came to pass. So your post shows me a great opportunity was missed by cos to make more money ripping symbols off of others for their own use.I look for ward to more of your posts.Love, Ann

All over the world groups like the salvation army and the red cross are feeding millions of people in need or in trouble.

Such is life on our little orb.

the “wasband-OT8” had to come to my home to give me the balance of the $ i get for alimony. Once again the “payroll company was to blame.”
He tried to drop it in my mailbox & drive off quickly. Old and worn out as I am, I got to him & gave him an earful as a nice holiday wish: I said: “i know that you & your mother cannot speak to me as I am declared.” I told him he should be brave & be aware of the lack of help that Scientology has to offer to the world. I told him that the Vol Ministers is a sham..& that J. Travolta’s child probably needed his anti-seizure drugs. That they were probably denigned him; so the child died. The “wasband” said: You were never declared.” I said “I have the letter” You gave it to me, or had it mailed to me..he is just a manipulative liar. The he anted to go; so he said: “I will call you this afternoon.” It is 10:30pm; NO CALL. WHAT A SURPRISE. coward tha he is

You have to wonder if the food is as good as the pictures show. Who are the Chefs or cooks for these meals? Staff Members? Maybe the pictures are deceiving.
Happy Hollidays to all!

Thanks, MM! And a very Merry Christmas to you!

The food we got, nine times out of ten, was not good. If it was an ASHO ANZO affair, food was always excellent. But an org event? Naa…
There were those who came just for the free meal, good or bad. If there was a charge, they didn’t pitch! Wise people.

Hi Mike,

Back at ya, it’s Chrissy day here already in Aus. Cheers…
Aquamarine says
Can’t resist: “Chrissy day” – so cute. Is that an Aussie thing or are you just making that up, Yawn?
I Yawnalot says
That’s what it’s called sometimes. The traditional lunch is often seafood, tiger prawns are brilliant this time of year. We had tigers, lobster, roast rack of lamb, fresh vegies and sticky date pudding with caramel sauce & vanilla ice cream. Lot of fresh cherries, pecans, heaps of wine, champers etc. and I wonder not why I feel a bit woozy right now.
It’s damn hot and a day at the beach is often an option. Box Day is always hosts an international cricket test match. This year it’s the West Indies and it’s always played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It’s summer down under and we revel in it. Bushfires are a hassle but it’s part of life.
Hope it’s all good up your way.
Old Surfer Dude says
Hey I Yawn! Wish I was ‘down under’ like you! I’ve been to Australia and love the country as well as the people! A very Merry Christmas to you!
I Yawnalot says
Plenty of room, especially for another surfer. You know… I think Sydney has 21 surfing beaches but anywhere can be good on the eastern seaboard up to Gladstone Queensland, north after that the Barrier reef takes the swells and mashes ’em. The tropical north is it’s own head trip, heat, sun, rain and fruit of unimaginable variety.
I live on the wilderness coast on the southern part of the country. Long way from anywhere and not many services but it’s cool. Fishing is great, water is pristine, oysters everywhere and yummy too.
Christmas cheers to you too Dude.

zemooo says
“A comedy reading of ‘An Ideal Christmas Carol’? What’s so funny about being locked in a room and not being able to leave until your wallet and bank account are empty? At least the big New Years event in LA is actually on 12/31, and at a nice hotel too. Thank you Bob Duggan for setting that up. Or did Travolta and Cruise kick in too. Neither of them has been very public in any ‘dissemination’ lately.
All this OT 9 and 10 stuff looks like it actually going to happen. Or will it? I think that 9 and 10 will be the newest flail used to get everyone back into the mOrgs and redo everything they ever did. I expect the dwarfenführer to announce that 9 and 10 will only be available once some ridiculous stat is met. I wonder how the ‘faithful’ will enjoy the new cat-o-nine tails?
Good People says
Hi Zemooo, I enjoyed your post but I didn’t completely understand it. You think OT IX & X are going to happen, but only after “some ridiculous stat is met”. Prior to any of the new OT IX & X hoopla there was a rediculous stat requirement of all class V Orgs attaining Saint Hill size.
Merry Christmas my friend.
Aquamarine says
Zemoo and Good People –
YOU ARE BOTH COMPLETELY WRONG!
You’ll be interested to know that I have it on VERY good authority that OTlX and OTX WILL be released – ABSOLUTELY!
Just as soon as SOMEONE kills the Wicked Witch of the West and BRINGS HER BROOMSTICK to… to…uh, wait a sec…give me a second, here, OK?…hmm…actually, I think I got my wizards-behind-the-curtain mixed up.
Never mind!

SP Browning says
Seriously, how difficult with it be to lock Norman Starkey and Ray Mithoff and a couple other people into a double wide trailer and tell them to adopt and pillage L. Ron’s works until they came up with OT 9?
I’m shocked they didn’t do it years ago.
Dawn says
Touche. And I believe Ray Mithoff is not even trained as a CS, doesn’t have much tech training at all! But what’s to stop him or Starkey putting it together? Not Miscavige.
Martin Padfield says
That’s an interesting one. I don’t believe Miscavige has actually PERSONALLY come right out and said OT IX and X will be released this year – isn’t it all carefully crafted rumour and nudge-nudge wink-wink till now? Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. If he does, it will be blatantly in the face of his own arbitrary targets not having been met. If he doesn’t the increasingly restless VIIs and VIIIs will continue quietly – or not so quietly – disappearing. And it’s such an open secret that there is NO IX and X anyway, that the ridicule will be heaped upon him will reach new epic proportions. Straight up and vertical. In fact the column inches of ridicule would reach to Venus and back, and… etc.
Jeff Smith says
Merry Christmas Mike and to everyone here. I am so happy y’all are free. So have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I Yawnalot says
Ditto…

And we don’t have to go to the New Year event and ooh and aah and hear about phoney releases or be surveyed or give money for some phoney disaster or eat crappy food.

Sorry stuck on “I’m not a patron yet, can I still come to the ball?” W.O.W.
On that note. You can come to my house any time without paying a penny to get in. We will have a ball. Merry Christmas, Mele Kalikimaka, Happy Holidays, whatever blows your skirt up. I hope you have a peaceful holiday season.
I hope those people at OSA required to read this blog get out and enjoy some family time too. I’m rooting for you to learn the true meaning of peace.
Jens TINGLEFF says
Hey, all the major dudes and dudettes at OSA have used their self-determinism to chose to let Capatain David “he is NOT insane!” Miscavige dictate every aspect of their lives and to accept the blame for the consequences of every screwy idea that leaks out of DM’s pickled brains.
That is, after all, why they joined the criminal organisation known as the “church” of $cientology.
Old Surfer Dude says
You know, I’m a big advocate for gratitude. Having traveled to to 2nd and 3rd world countries, it gave me a very different perspective. Gratitude is a game changer. “Nothing new can come into your life until you’re GRATEFUL for what you already have.” Bernard Beckwith. And, especially traveling to Africa. These folks have very little, yet, they’re some of the happiest people I’ve ever meet.
So, first and foremost, I’m very, very grateful to Mike for hosting this blog. Everyday, it’s something new and entertaining! I can’t imagine your blog not existing, Mike. You’ve done a spectacular job with it! Wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas & New Years’! May 2016 be your best year yet!
Now, on to you posters. I have never encountered such an amazing group of people as you guys are. Your posts not only entertain me, they also teach me. You guys are just so wonderful to communicate with. It makes my day, every day. Thank you so very much for being here. I’m grateful to all of you!
Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas and New Years! May 2016 be your best year yet! And…may the BEST day of your past be the WORSE day of your future…
I love you guys!

And I thought that it was the posters who were grateful for you.

+1 thumbs up if that counts for two so much the better credit where credit is due,
thank you surfer dude. aaand 3 feet just above and back, merry me. Dont b confused,
that goes for both of you! (insert obnoxious tweeting bugle here) I just love a party! we should do this way more than once a year.
Old Surfer Dude says
Party on, MM!
Good People says
Hear, hear OSD! I couldn’t have said it better. I love you people, Merry Christmas.
I Yawnalot says
Hey Dude, surf’s up with all the good cheer in your message, it’s cool.
Mike’s site is a little bit like a second home with an extended family plastered all over the planet.
Best wishes for everyone who reads this, & yes, even the OSA types, one day the sunshine will light you up and you’ll join us in our quest for ridding the world of the abuses in scientology, but for now, Merry Christmas to all and let’s just enjoy the moment.
Love to ya all…
NOLAGirl says
OSD, this place wouldn’t be the same with you. Thank you for making me laugh, sharing a smile and never letting the levity leave the situation. I’ve always thought the J&D was important, otherwise this subject would be oppressively sad. I love you right back. 🙂
Jens TINGLEFF says
Seconded!
Old Surfer Dude says
And we couldn’t do without you, NOLAGirl!

Thanks Dude. Sorry about the typo…supposed to be *without you. LOL
Hey Mike….how about a new type of comment section in the new year?? 😀
Aquamarine says
Uncle Sam wants all of us to donate as much money as we can to Co$ before December 31st so that we can deduct this amount from our income tax, so that the Church of Scientology will get this money and the US Government will not…yes, that makes total sense.

thats just wrong

The church of Scientology has always employed deception. This deception reaches it’s peak during Christmas time. Peace and goodwill are foreign concepts. They are paraded out solely for PR value.

Hannah Mets – “Honor Integrity True Discipline” What? No Happiness?? Look at poor Hannah’s expression. She has the look of somebody who is going to the “Hole” as soon as her picture is taken.

Come on, you should know that dedicated glare when you see it.
angryskorpion says
Dedicated glare = 2 parts fear and 2 parts loathing }>.<}
Lori S says
I agree that Hannah Mets should be happier with all the “gains” she has made. Instead, she looks like she is in dire need of sleep.
Aquamarine says
Hannah Mets was married at 19 a few years ago. Mets is her maiden name. Unless she just prefers to not use her married name, I’m assuming she got divorced before joining the SO, and also, I’m guessing, in order to be able to join the SO. Well, she’s on her way. Give her another 30 years in the Sea Org and, whenever her “dynamics” need to be “re-aligned” she’ll have plenty of assistance, and should be able to cake-walk thru another 4 marriages and divorces, with possibly an abortion or two as well. Very well done!
Aquamarine says
Yes, with her first divorce from her “forever beloved” at 22, after only 3 years of marriage, and with the always friendly guiding hands of her SO seniors, she should have no trouble racking up another 4 or 5 “soul mates” by the time she’s 50.
angryskorpion says
All those poor young people being put through the SO Grinder. Chewed up and spit out in the end. If DM had an ounce of common sense he would take a handful of the top SO people and treat them well. Which means no violence, RPF, abortions, or other nasties. Let them flourish. And then present them to the world as the best of Scientology. He could actually have some great ambassadors to the religion. People who have not been abused who could go out into the world (and be able to keep a straight face) and tell the world about it. But alas, it’s not meant to be. He has all but ruined everything and sooner or later there will only be TWO members left at the end. It will be interesting to see how DM and TC attempt to continue the religion. Or divvy up all the money and go their separate ways.

With a hollowed out Perpetual Trust.
sashiebgood says
that is very true. as I was looking at that very pretty girl, I couldn’t help but think of how awful Jenny Linson looked in that video accosting Marty Rathbun at the airport.
But, if DM had an ounce of sense, none of the crap he’s done would have happened… you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, especially a rabid dog.
angryskorpion says
Yes, that airport video was extremely creepy. That vacant look in their eyes and their facial expressions were a look of pure brainwashing. Reminded me of three robots repeating what they were programmed to say.
Aquamarine says
And Jenny Linson was quite pretty as a young girl, judging from a photo I saw of her on the internet. What she morphed into – this pretty young girl, and then, fast forward, Jenny at LAX…Jesus.
Aquamarine says
If David Miscavige had an ounce of common sense, he would treat the Sea Org workers decently, pay them a decent wage, ensure that they had adequate medical care when necessary, hat them, train them, and allow them to have children, giving his workers and execs alike adequate family time and with facilities for good loving care for the babies and children. If he had a grain of common sense he would realize that a group who kills their own second dynamic is doomed.
Hah…if.
Aquamarine says
Show me a group who sacrificed their children – the ancient Hawaiians, the pre-Colombian Indians, just off the top of my head, and no matter what their talents, their abilities, their sensibilities – they came to a bad end.
When I did LOC I realized that the Sea Org had a HUGE block on their second dynamic. Its a huge arbitrary and a fatal one. A group cannot forbid its members to have children and still have the faintest chance of survival. The Catholic Church knows this VERY well. Their nuns and priests are strictly forbidden to marry but their parishioners are nothing but encouraged to have kids, kids and more kids. The more kids, the more Catholics. Simple logic. But then, the Church of Rome has survived for 2000 years in no small part due to this firm policy of (I’ll call it) “Make Children, Make More Children, And Have These Children Make Children, and so on, and so on”.
angryskorpion says
Then there was King Herod who killed all those babies during the Massacre of the Innocents. DM has taken over that job.
Aquamarine says
Right! Herod was a Roman official posted over Judea, and those babies were not strictly Roman but Judea was a Roman TERRITORY so they were POTENTIAL Romans if only just slaves for Rome. Herod definitely contributed to the fall of ancient Rome.
David Miscavige takes it to the max and per his own written policy forbids Sea Org couples to become pregnant, and if they do, encourages the killing of his own Sea Org members in the womb With this policy he speeded up the demise of the Sea Org considerably. He’s doomed himself and the Sea Org, and don’t think he doesn’t know this. He’s not stupid, but then he can’t help it because he’s a suppressive, a sociopath.
Pick whatever name you like for someone who needs for everyone to be incapable or dead so that he can be safe.
Ann B Watson says
Hi Aquamarine, Your post about dm so true. The only phrase I can come up with for dm, The Nightmare that keeps on Taking. I get cold chills just looking at him in pictures.An endless loop and I ‘m really lost forever if I was stuck with that! Love U, Ann
angryskorpion says
By forced abortions, he is getting rid of future child labor slaves, robots, and PMM’s (Potential Money Makers). Maybe he truly believes that Scientology is growing in membership and that they really can do without the kids. Which would truly make him psychotic if he actually believes what he is spewing!
zemooo says
Hanna wants us to ‘return to our native state’…
But I don’t want to sleep in a tree, dodge lions, hyenas and sabre tooth cats. I don’t want to chase an antelope for 2 days straight, then kill it with a sharp stick and have a pack of lions steal it. It is so much easier to open a can of Dinty Moore stew.
‘Native State’ leaves much to be desired.
I Yawnalot says
Native state?? Aw hell… not more bananas!

Damn the Degrowth Agenda. Let the degrowthers (new age marxists, utopian delusionalists) eat shit; let them go first, set an example, and eliminate themselves.

Hi zemooo, I do not wish to go back to my Native State either. Dancing around that volcano for eons got very boring.I now see Native State was another carrot on a stick to keep me carrying on in the best Sea Org style.May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.I love every one of you here.XO,Ann
sashiebgood says
would ‘Native State’ be referring to the Piltdown Man?
Friend says
You know .. Piltdown Man .. doesn’t exist .. Native State refers to you as an all in all complete OT .. Axiom 1 .. also a complete nothingness but still you .. completely alone .. no communications .. no game .. no sense only looking how bad off others are .. wishing that others will come up to the same state as you have .. be a nothingness .. refers to axiom 11 a) where you can create or destroy everything .. for yourself and also for others ..
As a young man I asked me .. what happens if everybody is an OT and is in his allegedly native state .. I found it would be complete boredom in all eternity .. not so nice to think about it ..
But I found also, that you can do that every second .. it is not forbidden, only LRH said that your mind would do that .. but in hearing and reading LRH rules .. your mind is you yourself .. erasing a mind would be the same as erasing yourself .. be a nothingness is native state .. which is not a great target .. it is boredom forever ..
Best wishes to christmas for all here in the blog .. Thank you for being there ..

mark marco says
Agoraphobia:
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by anxiety in situations where the sufferer perceives the environment to be dangerous, uncomfortable, or unsafe. These situations can include wide-open spaces, uncontrollable social situations, [others]. Agoraphobia is defined as a subset of panic disorder, involving the fear of incurring a panic attack in those environments. The sufferers may go to great lengths to avoid those situations, in severe cases becoming unable to leave their homes or safe havens. Agoraphobia can account for about 60% of phobias.

Son: What the fuck are you talking about? Dad?? Dad are you there???

Dude,
Your ticket for a free IAS Gala dinner will be waiting for you at the Beverly Wilshire reception desk. But your wife will need to pay full price. Do you have another son or daughter?

Laughing! Now that’s some funny shit!

mark marco says
I am so impressed.
Again.
Honestly, …
at the end of the day, and for me thats as I approach the sunset of this human lifetime, you know I find a few jewels in my pocket to keep.
These are things that are truly mine, these things of beauty.
They did not come easy. No god ordained them to become my possession, not that I would know.
But these jewels are true.
Each one earned through the toil of human experience and nothing at all real until that magic moment in which I was given the honor, the real privilege to bestow them all to the likes of you, and those who have finally found a way to step gracefully away from the mind just far enough to gain a perspective on the big picture, whats going on. There is so much greatness here, and knowing serves such greatness well, all for your eyes.
These jewels pure are made of knowingness, and they are yours. Look how the fog lifts above my sunset now, revealing colors and light that took all of time to create.
Merry Christmas Everyone

Dave,
Ugly sweater parties are all the rage. If you can get Nori to dig your “We Stand Tall” sweater out of mothballs, you should be able to make a killing by raffling it off at the IAS Party at the Beverly Wilshire.
Mike Rinder says
Nori long since left.
threefeetback says
Mike,
Thanks for the good news. Did he play the Route Out Game, borrow the Dan Koon Routing Form, or use the Mike Rinder Routing Form?
Mike Rinder says
Not sure.
Wayne Borean aka The Mad Hatter says
Good for Nori!
Numbers. Considering the number of blows, resignations. deaths, etc., is the number of incoming Sea Org slaves greater or lesser than the losses?
I know that no one outside of the RCOS is going to have exact numbers, but it’s a question that has been bothering me for a while, and thought I’d ask here.
mark marco says
no narco here no wonder-
merry xmas back at u
x as in x
Ex, whatever, canceled. So thats merry canceled evermore, the reflection of your abandoned mind, back to you, i was sorry to remember you for a moment, then remembered my quest to discover compassion within myself, you know, so that maybe I could be worthy somehow. If I had yours, if I could acquire this, a particle of compassion, maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe they might even start actually celebrating Christmas for the sake of it, compassion. This is your Christmas Card. One thing I liked about scn back in the day, (it was a passion, really) was how they made it really, really personal.
angryskorpion says
Yeah…Narco is busy with his next assignment for the OSA. They don’t get holidays. |>.<|
mark marco says
maybe i got through to him
TOOT to OT says
Look how angry that Sea Org member is compared to the Staff Member.
They really think they are the BADDEST MAN IN THE WHOLE DAMN TOWN, BADDER THAN OLD KING KONG and MEANER THAN A JUNKYARD DOG.
That Staff Member is still smiling because he’s JUST JOINED and hasn’t had every possible fun moment removed from his schedule. Let’s see a photo of him in a few months!
You’d think, with all of the GIVING that is done by actual real religious movements/Churches to their flocks that scientology would see the money-grubbing difference their marketing and promotion gives a regular person.
TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE TAKE…
Have they ever actually GIVEN anything to anyone? EVER?
Old Surfer Dude says
Some Idle Morgue somewhere: ED: “We really need to get this guy on staff…and I mean TODAY!
Staff Member: What should we do to get him to join?
ED: Love bomb the shit out of him! Tell ’em he’ll be making more money than ANY wog job! Tell him just joining staff raises his IQ by 40 points! Tell him he won’t have to work on Christmas!
Staff Member: But….but….we do work on Christmas. I mean how….
ED: Shut the fuck up and make it go right! You got me???
Staff Member a couple of hours later: Hey, I got him to join staff and here he is!
Massive amount of clapping and cheering. New Staff Member: I am just so excited to be on staff and actually making some pretty good coin too. This is just the start of an exciting life for me! I’d like to thank all the staff! I’d also like to thank….
ED: Hey kid! Everyone left. Look kid, just keep you’re stats in affluence every single week! Got me? If you don’t, you won’t make the money I told you that you would. OH! One more thing. There are absolutely, positively no sick days! Understand?
New Staff Member (saying weakly): yeah, I guess so. (walking away talking to himself) Man, what a bunch of fucking assholes!
Aquamarine says
OSD, they both flatter and love bomb these gullible kids to get them to sign the SO contract:
“You want to be trained so that you can get some wog job and earn a salary, draw your pay and come home and watch TV? Anyone can do THAT. But YOU – this is WAY too small a game for YOU. Earning a good living, getting married, having a family – any idiot can do THAT well! YOU need a real challenge, a bigger game, a MUCH bigger game! YOU are Sea Org material, amongst millions who are not. YOU are someone whose life could make a REAL difference in reversing the dwindling spiral of this society and this planet.”
The kids eat this up. In fairness, they’ve been raised in the Scientology bubble, and it has somehow been “communicated” to them from an early age that their “whole track purpose” is to be in the SO.
One heavy koolaid drinker some years ago shared with me out of the blue that he “knew” that his then 2 year old son’s purpose in life was to be in the Sea Org. I asked this guy how he knew this about his 2 year old. He just shrugged and shook his head and said, “Its just a knowingness”.
So, you see, some of these Bubble Children never had a chance to find out who they really are and what they really want to do with their lives. No chance. They are untrained in any profession and given their goals from the day they’re born, and as such, ripe fruit for the SO recruiters.
Old Surfer Dude says
They ought to do what Cruise’s adopted daughter, Bella did: Quit scientology!
Aquamarine says
Did she really? I had no idea! Great news!
Old Surfer Dude says
She really did! Woo Hoo!
mark marco says
I am glad to hear that, good for Bella. I think this shows also that there’s no question that there’s really no hope for ever hearing Tom Cruise question the church. He is gone in that regard. Guess if you’ve had money out your ears long enough, some identity damage really should be anticipated, but, why should he care, really? Bestowed with every gift imaginable, wouldn’t you accept? accept saying, yes, this is the church for me and i am absolutely in line with whatever the church wants me to say, i say hell yeah i’ll say it and goodbye to the rest of you. – because – Even if the church burned to the ground forever after tomorrow at noon, Tom thinks to himself, hey, i am still happy. Happy without your daughter is a willingness unsalvageable, we aint no rocket scientists, after all.

Quinn,
Uncle Sam wants YOU to build your Ideal Org! With your experience in PAC renovations, this looks like your best option for Albuquerque. Start!
threefeetback says
Mighty Miami,
Wasn’t Janadair last seen working in the ‘galley’ in PAC? You might want to send a Gung-ho Group out to PAC to recruit her back to Miami to be an Executive.
John P. Capitalist says
OK, let me see if I understand this about the Central Files maintenance party in Tampa. Item #5 on the “To Do” list is “updating the charts (will need some knowledge of the bridge).”
Does that mean that they are going back and putting together some sort of color-coded progress chart on everyone in Central Files, including people who bought a book in 1973 and never had anything to do with Scientology after that?
If so, is there a “theological” reason, like they believe that in some future lifetime, they want to be able to let the new meat body for that thetan to resume progress up the bridge exactly where they left off, 35 million years previously? If so, does that mean that they are ultimately supposed to engrave all the records in Central Files on titanium plates and store them in vaults as well? Paper’s not going to hold up for 35 million years…
Or is this just an “arbitrary” imposed by either one of Hubbard’s policies or some pulled-it-out-of-his-ass decision by Miscavige?
threefeetback says
JPC,
Don’t even bother getting ahead of the decending curve of scientology. It will just lead you to the entrance of the rabbit hole. (you know. . . trying to clarify insane action is futile). In the Sea Org it would be North Korean style hard labor to maintain control. In Orgs and wogdom it is make-work to maintain control, keep interest and avoid idleness.
freebeeing says
CF, what a laugh. File folders (smirk)… Stuck in the pre-PC age forever I guess.
threefeetback says
Dave,
Are you preparing Tampa for your next wave offloads from Flag? Downsizing delivery, personnel and costs to meet the dismal demand for your pap?
simplethetan says
Mat Feschbach, is that not the guy who lost 1.6 billions for his customers? Then filed bankruptcy a few years back?
Sure he can teach us how to make money. Simply steal it.
Leslie Bates says
True discipline?
That doesn’t involve flogging, does it?
mark marco says
oh – oh – oh !
(hope i’m not late for the party…)
Old Surfer Dude says
No flogging? Seriously? Man, I love flogging! What a bummer!
Aquamarine says
Then you need to go to Flog.
Old Surfer Dude says
I’m on my way….
Leslie Bates says
I forgot about the old Royal Navy tradition of Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash.
mark marco says
I believe the sheath to my Royal Sword encrusted with diamonds and rubys was lost on the deck of a burning Royal Navy ship. I have you knowing, my lady, that silver and golden piercing gleam 🙂 is no illusion.
(merry days all glowing as they are now this very moment)- mark marco
Newcomer says
Good old Russ McKevitt is coming to Flog to try and fleece a few more felons into the fraternity of greed.
Yo Russ,
If you are ever out this way again, stop by and we can pick up where we left off after you and Rick Kimura decided to show me the Dead Agent Pack on Mike and Marty so as to handle ‘my out ethics situation’. That is if you have drilled up properly to confront and handle suppression and get ethics really in on this planet. It doesn’t seem like a big problem, after all, I’m such a small little thetan you guys should be able to git-er-done in short order.
Hey, now that we are on the subject of short orders, say hi to See Oh Bee for me when you report how it went handling me.
Get out of there Russ. It will not end well for you and your wife. Run ……. when you get off the plane in Tampa, get in a taxi and go man…………….. you can stay with Rod and Lori.
threefeetback says
Newcomer,
Good, sound religious advice. Is Rod wiggling his way out?
NOLAGirl says
Merry Christmas Newcomer (I still think of you as Coop 🙂 )
I hope you’re having a lovely holiday and may 2016 bring you even more joy. You certainly bring joy to me (and many others I’m sure) with your insightful, hilarious posts. Thank you for being here and always putting a smile on my face.
Yo Dave, you should regret it everyday that you let this one get away. Maybe you can ponder that thought when you’re sitting in prison.
visitor says
You have an important role !!
Be in your seats by 6:30 PM !!
The more clams that show up, the fewer extras the criminal cult of $cientology has to hire to have an audience. Would be great if no one (except staff and Sea Org slaves) shows up. Then they resort to CGI and Photoshop to show an audience.
threefeetback says
Yeah, SMP is recording the event while being strong-armed by the Gold Shoot Team. If they can’t get enough extras to fill the Shrine,and if DM Studios is not yet up to speed with Sheeple Photoshop, they will not bother having any audience shots. ALL stage sizzle.
mark marco says
“actors needed to play scientologists”,
really, what this gig was ever all about from the beginning…
If Christmas is about gratitude and giving, well, i have a couple of things i’d like to say:
Thank you Mike.
Inside a moment all alone things can get a little creepy thinking about things – all the truth that was hidden from me. They even kept mom an dad from seeing me…
On this Christmas day, well, isn’t it wonderful that all those memories become something to be rather proud to remember because we got through it, we put it down because it was wrong and we made all those nasty secrets known. It is ok to say I DONT THINK SO to a scientologist, in fact it is a sort of duty for those of us who used to be inside, who used to be fooled into giving ourselves away. Our chance for peace is in knowing that our kids won’t be fooled again. Things are so wonderfully different now… now that we are free to speak.
But the real joy is in knowing that we are not alone in each other. We are really together with each other. The thing between us is a thing that a newcomer can walk up to and in an instant easily recognize and it is good and all this goodness will surely endure. The world is a better place and we are better people, after all.
Old Surfer Dude says
I had an important roll once. Not sure why that would be special. I will say, it was a very tasty roll, but, hey, nothing to write home about. Maybe I just don’t understand scientology anymore….
threefeetback says
scientology is more like the impotent roll, made with saltpeter
Old Surfer Dude says
I’ve heard of that, TFB. The impotent roll. Like someone said when wearing a nice suit, “Hey, if I’m impotent I wanna look impotent.”
GTBO says
The New Years Events are now so “epic, monumental, best ever” etc that they have to advertise “Live entertainment” to try and get people to attend?
why bother? It will be the same old drivel served up by Mad Hatter/SMP musicians no doubt aided and abetted by the NOI trio serving up the same ol shit….. probably appropriate gven the te event will do the same.
Potpie says
“I can effect things on the other side of the world by my intention”
Really? You really can do that? I think you should tell us in advance what you plan to effect in the world….effect it by your intention….so we can then check out the affect you actually had. People would flock to super power if you did that….man what fsm commissions you could make, what good you could do for mankind. Can your intention pick up what I’m thinking right now? I doubt it so I’ll just say it…..MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of the wild and crazy posters in Mike Rinder’s blog. Have fun watching the kids open presents, enjoy the presents you get, eat till you can’t, wait a while and then eat some more, guzzle some booze and most of all let’s keep hitting Miscavige till he fades away and all lost family will be back together for Christmas 2016.
Pat Wog Winner says
Potpie,
I’m hoping all the lost come back, too. Never met any of them and I feel for all of them. Merry Christmas to you and all of them. I hope 16 brings ’em all out to join their missing families and greet their new ones!
(OH, and as for dave miscarriage, I’d love to hit the little dick till he fades into oblivion! … He’s so tiny though, so I’ll have mercy and just step on him like the big waterbug I just found in my new bathroom! LOL
Ann B Watson says
Hi Potpie, Your post brought all the flavor of the season with hopes and intentions for 2016. I am so grateful to all here.I join you in wanting all lost families to be-able to re-unite.No-one should ever be forced to disconnect from another, just because Ron and now dm,decreed and decrees that policy. Happy 2016 Love, Ann
McCarran says
Happy Holidays everyone. Wishing you all some cheer.
Marie guerin says
Merry Christmas Mary and everybody. Yes , lets hope for big family dinners next year… your son, my sisters and all the lost souls back together again with love.
McCarran says
Amen Sister! ?
I’ve heard that our dear friend has a new grandson. ?
Ann B Watson says
Hi McCarran, Wishing you a stupendous New Year and all happiness to you. Sending you barrels of Christmas Cheer.I will look for your posts in 2016.Love, Ann.
NOLAGirl says
Merry Christmas Ann. You make this place sparkle with the love and joy you bring. Have a great day (even if it will be 80 degrees in our neck of the woods lol) and may your New Year bring you continued love and happiness. ❤❤❤
Ann B Watson says
Hi NOLAGirl, Thank you so much for your post to me. Does it not feel like the Amazon Jungle around our neck of the swamps! Santa came on water skies this year. Stay safe to-night Sun, as we have some nasty weather rolling through. Sparkle On, Love, Ann
SucculentDuck says
Happy Holidays! I’ve been lurking in the shadows here for a bit and finally found the time to log in and comment. Much respect to Mike for the info here and his often hilarious take on what’s going on in the world of CoS-play. Here’s to a 47X plateaued and downwardly diagonal 2016, everyone!
McCarran says
Amen Brother! ?
BKmole says
Mike, thanks for the weekly coverage of what appears to be the most tasteless multi-level marketing scam in the world. With all the money they rake in its seems they could afford real marketing and promotion pros. But the standard is set by the brilliant, stellar genius David LHD Miscaviage. The image is overseen by a two bit, uneducated shyster so I guess I should not expect more.
