Still crazy after all these years
SO #1 letters as inspiration? Even in this day and age? Wow…
Tampa Org is “out of PT”
Can you imagine the model ideal SH size org is not in PT and needs to do the SRD? Says a lot for the state of the non-model, non-ideal, non-SH sized orgs everywhere else.
Our birthday gift: Planetary Dissemination a reality!
Yessirreee…
Does this person REALLY think that everyone hasn’t yet figured out that this whole set up is being paid for by Miscavige as a pet-project boondoggle to use up some of that cash he has been collecting?
Let’s skip the Planetary Clearing…
…and go straight for OT instead. We haven’t gotten anywhere with the Cleared Planet thing anyway.
Probably never before heard expamples
Inglewood is having a spelling “p” right after whatever this is?
There’s lots of bad news
Take it from Andres, it proves how well we are doing! BTW Andres, seen any of those 700 new pubic starting on course each week at LA Org recently?
We are battling Hill 10’s*
*Sea Org slang for “disaster”
It’s not going right despite the OTness and Super Powerishness of them all?
We are attracting international attention
With another fake video of how effective and gung-ho we are. We’ve been working on the backlogged CF now for 10 years! But it’s a “landmark victory” for sure.
Tampa is hyperventilating
They must have been told there is going to be an “announcement” at the March 13th event by “COB” and so they had BETTER be ready. 10 years to get through the letter “A” of their backlogged filing. 2 weeks to finish the rest of the alphabet, or else. It’s “command intention.”
They need staff too…
And income and IAS donations and, and, and…
Milk it for Ron!
The babes are back
You DO qualify
Everyone does. They will even persuade you that you didn’t take LSD. And get you to give away your children for a good cause…
The Hubbard Clan is back
Cute horses with sweaters. Of course.
Logic is not their strong suit…
This is a reason to give money to HAPI org?
You need to BE OT to GO OT
Love that catchphrase. Makes absolutely no sense.
Champions of the World?
WTF?
Come into present time
The 18th ACC was in “early October 1977”? Seriously? * See below from Bridge Publications website
REAL Thursday Funnies Update:
Could not omit this from Thursday Funnies when it appeared this morning.
How about 10 Reasons NOT to join the Tampa Staff:
1. I hate beans and rice
2. I enjoy seeing my family at least once every 5 years
3. I hate being brokeass broke
4. I like the internet
5. I like having a spouse that I can see
6. I like sex
7. I like having children who won’t disconnect from me
8. I don’t like the RPF
9. I don’t like phoning the same people over and over
10. I don’t like clapping or hip hipping every day at a poster of a dead guy
I can think of 10 more but that will do for now.
“Inglewood is having a spelling ‘p’ right after whatever this is?”
Laughter!!
The “Slay Your Dragons” flier just kills me. I love how they put “bad news” in quotes – as if the shitstorm of negative publicity and state of affairs within CO$ isn’t actually bad news for them. Ah yes, let’s all just ignore the elephant in the room. Quickly, put your hands over your eyes and ears! Maybe then it won’t be real and we can go on our merry, delusional way. Surely it’s just OUR org that’s empty and every ex-member or critic is lying, right?
“13 Canadian Presidents had Scottish blood”
Last I checked there hasn’t even been ONE Canadian President, with or without any kind of blood. The Stupid is getting stronger every day.
From The Aims of Scientology:
“We may err, for we build a world with broken straws.”
(you can say that again!)
“But we will never betray your faith in us so long as you are one of us.”
(and if you’re not, we will fair game you).
“…we will fair game you.” That means playing a game fairly, right? That doesn’t sound so bad…
Why all the ads for staff at the happiest mOrgs on the planet? Didn’t their shipment of East Europeans get past immigration this week? All areas of the clampire’s mOrg board are included in the ads. Have so many escaped that staff has completely turned over?
I love the one mOrg that claims to have been the only place where the ‘Universe Corps’ every visited. That must give hope to all the other mOrgs. How can you go clear if the Corp of corpses doesn’t visit? Oh, excuse me, I forgot about all the ‘next lives’ stuff.
One hundred years of Central Files?? Now I know where hell is…..
These ads are so pathetic, I’m embarrassed for these people. They public are made monkeys of and they lap it up. Etc. It’s awful.
Hi zemooo, Good to see your posts. Just think One Hundred Years of CF.I blew at the right time because I swear that is where I was headed.Laughter! xo,Ann.
Dave – it’s been too long! I miss the fun times we had at the strip club (don’t tell Shelly!) Oh, right, never mind!
Anyway, just want to congratulate you on your expanding real estate portfolio and your brilliant use of church funds – I’m sure you could teach me a trick or two. 😉
Good luck on your next ribbon cutting ceremony, and drop me a line soon, okay?
Your pal,
Kim Jong-un
Supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
What is that bit about 105 years of hubbard stuff?Are thy using a provable lie in their promo now?
Well, Hubbard was born in 1911, so next week would have been his 105th birthday (or if you’re a Kool-Aider and believe he’s running around Target 2 right now, will be his 105th birthday). So, not a lie for a change. Yeah, I know, it’s hard to mentally cope with Scientology telling a truth, but in this case, they are.
The Tampa flyer made absolutely no sense.
The mindess bendingess and eye warpingess, and ultimatelyess meaningless, language they use is getting worseress and worseress.
Flag OT Committee News – Play soldier dress ups and NOT see how foolish and sad you are. I, uh, um…”-so create on it!” Ooh, I’m looking for the headache tablets.
Tampa, Double Saint Hill Size – We don’t need you just your wallet, purse, bank account, credit cards, etc.
At least PAC Estates is looking for people with Audio/Visual expertise instead of using LRH’s made-up word “Visio” to mean visual or video.
In the wog world, Visio is a Microsoft product for creating technical drawings, and Vizio is a brand of TV.
Jake, visio is Latin for “act of seeing”
The nameless girl in the poster says she helps make OT’s and the making of them ends the cycle of global war, drugs and crime. Just how does that work? Do OT’s radiate theta vibes which transform people on contact? Do prostitutes suddenly want to become dental technicians for instance because they stepped into a cloud of theta vibe? Hubbard nor the church have much to say on the mechanics of collective transformation. I don’t think anybody has ever seen a formal plan to “clear the planet” replete with strategies and contingencies. All that ‘saving mankind’ malarky may be empty talk but it sure does make scientology look like it’s on a BIG mission to do terribly BIG things, that is, if your mind is untainted by common intellectual curiosity.
I wonder if the Scotland tourist board is aware that scientology is using its promo photos for their own advertising.
https://www.visitscotland.com/blog/scotland/shetland-ponies-in-cardigans/
It all just goes to show that there’s no such thing as an honest scientologist. Ho hum…
Hubbard, even though taken out of context quite often with this quote, did say the only way to control someone is to lie to them. (If Freedom could be measured it could be expressed as lies exposed). Miscavige has done a fine job spreading that venom about and sits atop of his castle of lies watching it go on full auto with the minions he has left. (You may have noticed I really don’t like the guy or the Cof$).
Dear Yawn, And years from now, if any of them happen to digest the final pages of Lawrence Wright’s “Going Clear…” book, they will someday discover Ron admitted failure at it all. I wish Sarge had recorded Ron’s honest admission of failure.
Hey Chuck, the hard reality of it all seems to be honesty doesn’t impinge on a scientologist, only self created lies have any value. Hubbard realised the vain attempts to generalise the tech would be fraught with disappointment. 1965 saw it reciprocatingly stated in KSW policy but the body count has grown from there. The way out is indeed the way through – so they say… I don’t have to wonder how that’s working out for the Cof$ any more?
Canada will be shocked to find out it has had 13 presidents! So would all the prime ministers that have led the country.
But then Scientology is not known for actually being accurate, are they?
Can’t wait until OTC military video gets leaked. That should be a hoot.
We can only hope that they are fitted out with leftover costumes from the local production of HMS Pinafore.
Andres Rodriguez, that name rings a bell…
Ah, yes, he’s the dude whose spring 2015 “secret” briefing was recorded and posted on youtube and shared on the bunker :
http://tonyortega.org/2015/04/26/exclusive-secretly-taping-briefing-uncovers-precarious-state-of-scientology-right-now/
Ummmm, Canada has not had 13 Presidents with Scottish blood, we’ve never had a President, we have Prime Ministers… Sheesh, the stupid is strong today.
That’s wog talk. You had Presidents on the Whole Track, before you were even called Canada. You just didn’t know it. Now you do.
That’ll be $50,000.00 (US). please have your credit card ready
I must have some O/W’s, hanging head.
Wow! That’s a great price! Can we barter for that? I have a lot of sheep!
The Church of Scientology is like a candidate running for President in the U.S. Each candidate is going to:
1. Lower taxes
2. Create new jobs
3. Health care reform
4. Help senior citizens
5. Lower the costs of education
But these things never happen and the former President’s all leave office at the end of their terms as if they achieved what they promised. 🙂 But, what’s the joke? 🙂
The Church of Scientology is the same way. Their “current spokesperson” in an Ideal Org promises in exchange for your money:
1. 100% Standard Auditing
2. 100% Standard C/S’ing.
3, Record checksheet times.
4. State of the art Academies
….but the staff and the public of any such Org are practically knocking each others teeth out to prove various points. It is comedy.
And what if you are somebody that wants to go Clear today with the money to pay? Wait for all the commotions in the Org to die down? 🙂
Even if L. Ron Hubbard were back in the church it would not make a difference. The Church of Scientology has no real support from the community because communities do not want to entertain criminals in their lives.
Denice Duff — she must not know that most of LRH’s responses were not written by him, but by staff per a number of sources. I’m guessing, but LRH may have seen those personal notes as DevT (developed traffic, distracting non-priority workload) that was an interruption to his high-level “research” (naps, self-hynosis, drugs, and Kool cigarettes).
Take note, “Mighty Miami” — Ron may have only heard of you in passing and never actually have personally sent you a message at all.
Dev-T was actually defined as “developed UNNESSESARY traffic. You’re deep in a project and someone stops in your office to tell you about a funny tv show he saw last night. THAT is Dev-T. I always loved that particular semi-acronym. Still use it now and then. 🙂
Hubbard *may* have answered some letters very early in the game, but he had an entire staff on the Flagship who read, wrote back and had special stamps for his signature. I got that confirmed by more than a few SO members, one of whom was very high on his staff.
It’s never Dev T if it’s a pretty lady or a person who can advance your career.
Next thing you’ll be telling me that Santa Claus doesn’t answer letters personally either!
Re the Inglewood promo, you said spelling “pee” when I’m pretty sure you meant spelling “bee”. Funny misspelling but just thought I’d give you a heads up 🙂
It was deliberate – they added a “p” to expample. But I changed it to make it clear it was deliberate
Another expamle of Scientology being cleared of literate people.
Pretty soon they will stop writing then speaking.Just put on a funny military style uniform and a Michael Chan pose. Yessir. That will make planetary clearing a reality.
Of course by that time Alex Rodriguez will have moved of to target 2. President er,prime minister of the GCSIP.(Guatemalan Crusade to Smash Imported Pests.
Kuato, you mean to tell me you’ve never been in pissing contest? That’s beyond sad….
Scientology Translation Service:
Scilon: “While the highest ever CF files have been completed in the past week, the game has stiffened.”
Woggish: “Hey, we’re busting our asses over here! Gimme a fucking break! What do you mean we’re no closer to our target than before?!? Can we get some more Italians in here to help out? They smell like oregano.”
Whatever that Flag OT committee is up to, it’s closer to Dungeons & Dragons than it is to a “military type campaign.” I don’t know if the comparison has been made before (I assume so), but Scientology is more like a fantasy role playing game than anything. I never was into D&D (played it once; didn’t get the point) or anything else like it, so I can’t do the analogy justice. Hopefully someone else can expand on this idea.
Dungeon is The Hole, dragon is Dave.
I’ve also noticed the similarities between Scientology and role-playing games. I like to think of it as the world’s most expensive and difficult ARG (alternate reality game).
Oh No Ross and Carrie, a podcast, has released it’s third episode on the Co$. Hilarious! http://ohnopodcast.com/
What’s more hilarious than claiming SO #1 letters as an inspiration is Denice Duff still claiming she’s an actress. Really, Denice, give it up. You don’t have an iMDB credit that’s anything substantial and you spend most of your time shilling for the cult (or pretending you have a “school” of some sort).
Maybe, someday, in twenty years or so when the SuMP is “fully financed”, Scientology will get out of the Eighties and realize that Planetary Dissemination can be done using this thing called “the Internet”. And then we’ll get bombarded with ads for the Ideal Data Center in the still-yet-unfinished Battle Creek Idle Morgue. They need to do something with that building. Turning it into a server farm should do the trick.
While scrolling through, I misread the “clocanada” e-mail address as “cloaca”, and thought, “That’s appropriate for them.”
“Postulates: How To Make Them Work”…just pull them out of your cloaca like you usually do.
Uh, Tampa, if you have 60 technical staff trained in Flaggotry, then why do you need more staff? Shouldn’t you already have enough if you’re Double Saint Hell Size? Maybe if the blonde with the high hairline will actually deliver services instead of posing for recruitment bumf, you wouldn’t need to advertise.
I know of a way to immediately disqualify yourself for Staff or the Sea Borg in this age of “you didn’t really take LSD”: Psych Drugs! You don’t even have to be a psych case. If you’re diabetic like me, get yourself a scrip for duloxetine (aka Cymbalta). It’s my main go-to drug for my bipolar disorder, but it also helps prevent diabetic neuropathy. That should get the recruiters running from you like they’re going around a pole.
Yo, KC Org: considering the infamous Musical Chairs Incident as relayed by Marc Headley and verified by other escapees from Int, the last thing you should be doing is quoting from Queen, regardless of what your shitty baseball team did last year.
I think we can all agree with this: those Shetland ponies in their Shetland sweaters are fucking adorable. As for “running Canada”, Canada doesn’t have a president. They have a prime minister that runs the place (and the present one isn’t Scottish, but he looks adorable in a Shetland sweater too) and a governor-general that represents the Head of State, a nice old German lady who lives in the London that isn’t in Ontario. No number of utterly adorable Shetland ponies can give you an escape card from Das Rinderblog Fact Checkers.
What are the four parts of my First Dynamic? This week, it’s “colonoscopy, endoscopy, two days of auditing, and whatever I get up to while surfing for porn.” Yours may differ.
And they can’t go a week without pissing me off. Kaye Sparkling Wine and the rest of the Flaggots did it to me this week with the whole “uniform/Army” theme. You wearing military uniforms (and exactly what is the difference between a “Scottish” and “British” uniform? Looking adorable in a Shetland sweater?) is an insult to those of us who actually defended our country. Les Bates, Ronn S, and I, among others here, have pieces of paper with the words “honorable discharge” on them. These pieces of paper allow us to wear military uniforms because we earned the right to do so, despite the fact that we’re now civilians. You and your crew, dear Kaye, haven’t done jack shit to earn that right. And your fundraising in the name of a guy who’s been dead for thirty years should not in any way, shape, or form be compared to a military campaign. It’s insulting and trivializing in the same breath. You wouldn’t have lasted a day in the Army. There are words that I could use to describe you, Kaye, but this is a family website. A dysfunctional family, true, but still family. Just get out of my sight, Ms. Sparkling Wine.
…sorry about that last graph, folks. I’m still a little grumpy from the colonoscopy. Let me just say what everyone’s thinking: “Gee, a gay man grumpy about something being shoved up his ass? Who is he kidding?” Enjoy the Funnies and tomorrow’s RB, folks.
*applause*
Well okay, no applause for the colonoscopy. 😀
Sorry you’re having to go through that. Hope everything else goes well. Good to see you.
The colonoscopy was fine, just a “you’re over fifty now, so you’d better have one” thing. Just a couple of polyps removed while he was in there. However, I do need to have a follow-up endoscopy. I’m waiting on a call back for an appointment with the GI doctor for that. I’m not too worried about anything, and if I am, I’ll just look at the picture of the adorable Shetland ponies again.
Espi, I hope you’re getting better day by day.
Hi Espiando, From the queen of colonoscopies since 99 when colon cancer was found till now when for the first time in 15 years nothing was found so I am sprung for five years,I salute you.Be well always,Ann.
Yay! Ann!
Hi Cece,Thank you so much for your good wishes.With all you bright Lights at this blog, how can I go wrong! I’m determined to get the other cancer,breast on the ropes for good! That would be better than any OT Level known or unknown! Love U,Ann.
Best wishes
Well said on all accounts, one small glitch, our current PM in Canada actually has Scottish bold, Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s mother Grace Elliot was of Scottish descent.
Hey! I’m a Scot and ALL of us are ‘bold!’ Every single one of us! So, don’t leave us out, justmeteehee….
Ha! Leave us out, I’m in Canada now but was born and raised in Kilmarnock, would never leave “oor folk” out 🙂
Did you mean to say, that the PM has Scottish “blood.”
Sorry ’bout that, justme. For some reason, I thought that Slutty Maggie was Justin’s mom. He had to get the drop-dead good looks from somewhere.
And then I didn’t read your comment carefully enough and thought you were talking about Justin’s mother, not grandmother. If I didn’t already have something up my ass this week, my head would be there.
Absolutely Espi, momma is Maggie Sinclair, Granny (PET,s) ma as Grace Elliot with those good drops of Scottish bold… Errr I mean blood, sorry OSD almost did it again teehee.
Get well, Sir.
Absolutely brilliant writing Espi, As a Navy veteran I could not agree with you more.
“BTW Andres, seen any of those 700 new pubic starting on course each week at LA Org recently?”
You know, Mike, I think he really does. Poor guy.
Andres, the ultimate company man.
Andres is the ultimate liar……..
That’s what I said.
I stand corrected….
Regarding the 700 new public that’s flowing into the L.A. Org every single week, Andres did say, forcefully I might add, that, “It’s happening! It is! It is! It is!” I believe if you say something 3 times and you say it forcefully, it’s true. You just can’t fake ‘forcefulness.’
I heard his interview and thought he said 700 new people every day, not every week. Maybe I am mistaken.
OMG, Doug! If you’re right about 700 new public a day, then, up until now, Andres has been a down stat! A HUGE down stat! I’ll bet he won’t be allowed to do those great meetings he does with the ‘sanity challenged.’
Beetlejuice…. Beetlejuice….
Because I did not argue with sanity – I left Scientology. Today – I am so happy I never got rid of that part of my mind that can ration and reason. It saved my life.
After all, I was a “past life / this lifetime” Clear and Scientology proved it to me – I witnessed the Organization committing HUGE CRIMES DAILY. I could not be convinced it was in the “best interest of all 8 dynamics and I was right.
It was painful to find out to the degree of the betrayal by this “church” and humbling and humiliating.
BUT –
I wognited and got out!
I am so happy I can keep my money, be free to love anyone I choose, not have anyone tell me what to think or say or feel or not feel.
Today – I am so very grateful for my sanity! I am grateful to all of you too for helping shine a light on this very dark Organization – Scientology!!
Wognited, you must be one happy camper now! You went from enslavement to getting your ENTIRE life back. I celebrate your waking up with you! May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.
I have a very good idea about how you feel Wognited. I had/have the same feelings of joy and pleasure knowing my money is my own, so is my life. I have no deadlines, no course schedule, no one writing KRs on me, no one trying to coerce me into anything (the sea org, staff, being an fsm for flag, whatever) and my Saturday nights, Sundays and weekdays are my own!
It’s a wonderful, wonderful feeling and you are held in high esteem for getting out.
I know what you mean by keeping sanity. I kept mine, too. I luckily never sold my soul, managed to stay out of reach.
World Champions — if you check the “byline” its in Kansas City, the home of the World Series champions. the KC Royals. The “KC Stallions (I believe) actually meet in a small community center in Mission, KS since they Ideal (!!) building is just sitting and rotting out underneath from them ever since they bought it and can’t afford to renovate it.
Even more amazing, is that the Community center is like 3 blocks from my house. I have actually seen these people in silly stupid costumes as I got there on a regular to workout at the weight room. I never put 2 and 2 together before. I always thought they looked like a sad bunch of people, but OMG I never realized that they were Scientologists!
Just WOW!. I am crying right now from laughing so hard.
Added an update to the bottom of the post with a real “Thursday Funny”
The Babes are wearing the same outfits,are they twins ?
About the horses with sweaters.
I have a Giraffe that needs a turtleneck.
Tampa has to recall a time they were “IN PT”.
The little horses are actually Shetland Ponies. Regarding that turtle neck sweater, I have contacts at the Giraffe Center in Nairobi, Kenya. When your giraffe gets his/her sweater, he/she is going to be one bad ass giraffe…
My giraffe wants the Steve Mc Queen look
for young female giraffes.
Here at Giraffes R Us, we can make your giraffe look like any celeb he or she would like to look like. Steve McQueen (one of my all time favorite actors) is an easy one to do. Give my secretary a shout and she’ll set it up.

A note to the “Hubbard Clan”: Canada doesn’t have presidents. Real Scots would know that.
CLO Canada’s 647 number is central Toronto, not out in the Canadian wilderness at the white elephant AOSH Canada in Mono…
Rick: I reiterated your “Canada has no president” line in my response while crossing moderation lines. Full credit to you and I owe you a Coke.
I’m firmly convinced that the only thing Scots know about Canada is what’s in the lyrics of the Proclaimers’ “Letter From America”, despite the fact that Canada and Scotland have the same Head of State.
I have no special brief for Scots, but you should not paint them with a broad brush in the color of that idiot Scientologist who writes those flyers. Now, if you care to discuss the haggis…
You have ‘special briefs?’ Wow! I am running low of underwear. Hey, can I order some of your special briefs? What colors do they come in? Do you have any with giraffes on them? What the thread count? I’m so excited to get my new briefs, hgc! You’re quite the businessman! Who would have thunk it?
Didn’t you know that no true Scotsman wears undies ‘neath his kilt?
Let me amend — I HOLD no brief…
Well, seein’ as I only wear me kilt to the Scottish Games and Robert Burns Dinners, I would still like some of your special briefs if that’s still possible.
Hi OSD, Walter came on your thread ( never happened before! )and wanted to send you a message. He says as a true blooded Scotsman with his late Mom’s family Lord McLaurin & that clan and his late Dad’s Watson and Duncan clans- he proudly wears no underwear under that kilt.But never forget the dagger!Bagpipe on! Love XO Ann.it would be so great to meet a Burns Claner.It will happen.
Nothing is worn, it’s all in perfect order.
Damn! My bad, hgc! I realized you posted that you don’t have ‘special briefs’ after all. Man, you really got me excited, though! I would have loved to purchased many pairs of your special briefs. But, alas, being po’ white trailer trash wit page number on my toilet paper, I probably don’t rate to get special briefs. I’ll bet they’re real comfortable…..
I’ve been in food safety for over twenty-five years. You really, really don’t want me to discuss haggis.
I can discuss haggis with one word…BLEACHHHHHHH!
My family is Scottish. I suspect their “Hubbard Clan” flyer was written by an American.
I am an American and a Scot!, Rick. We have blood links to the poet, Robert Burns.
And even more of a blood line link to Dead Or Alive lead singer Pete Burns.
And what the hell is up with the fucking giraffes today? Have the meds stopped working?
Espi, Espi, Espi….What…you didn’t know it was Giraffe Day at Mike’s blog? And don’t tell me you didn’t get the memo…..
Thanks for the funnies every Thursday. That AOLA Dragon flyer is a mess of design elements. Best thing on it is the dragon art. Jeff Hawkins did that drawing back in the 70s as part of a series showing the reactive mind as a dragon that had to be overcome to make it to Clear.
“How to handle PTS immeadiatly” 1. Scream what are your crimes.2 Run into your org. 3. Pull down the shades. 3. Pay for a sec check. Handled !!
Phil, you inspire me! I’m going to do just that! I am a bit short on money this week, so, can you take care of the sec check for me?
What’s that, Tampa’s out of TP? That’s not news.
Out of TP? That’s SOP….
Denise Duff … who thinks Ron actually wrote her all those letters … not the sharpest knife in the Ginzu set, are you Denise? … yeah, Ron took the time to chew over your cutting yourself on the cat food can as to what he wanted to say about that … oh, yeah … Denise, sweetheart, he was planning to infiltrate the government of the United States, he didn’t have time for the stinking cat food can!
Completely right Joe. On the Apollo, LRH had an LRH Personal Secretary that answered all of the SO#1 letters and even signed his name – abbreviated with just an L or something. She spent all day reading and answering this gibberish. I’m sure that carried on until he died (and maybe afterwards, who knows with this cult). He never saw any of those letters. When he was off hiding from the SP governments, I don’t think he even got his kid’s letters, if they even tried to write to him.
True enough — but that “SO#1” unit expanded. Even on the Apollo there were two other people along with Alethiea. One of them was a guy named Laurie. Pat Brice may have been in there at some point too. And Rae Chase. It continued all the way to the end and then those people became the “ED Int” “SO#1” unit.
Yes, I believe Popham (Claire’s mother, forgot her first name) was also part of the Pers Secretary department.
Mike, did corn on the COB have someone answer his letters also? I’m sure he gets a large number of letters from SCNist asking for his advice and praising him and he is too busy and important to answer any of them.
Yes, he had his own “secretarial pool” “COB’s office” — Tanja Castle was in there. So too Francois Lalouette, Tori Viau and various others at different times.
Hi Mike, Thank you for all the info on SO#1 line.I really know now that I heard from Ron three times in four years and that was on the bottom of Mary Sue’s notes to me.I have to say whoever answered my SO1 letters was one smart Thetan.Knew stuff about me I never wrote about.Creepy…
I have to say one comment on the lady who framed Ron’s letters and hung them on the wall.Ron was so good and so OT at not signing the letters to you,that his signature is invisible! Keep giving all your money to move up each IAS status and you too one day will reach the mythical OT10 only to realize-do all the bridge again ,before you hit #11.xo Ann.
Oh Good! Nice to know. I have bone to pick with him.
It seems like all that these guys do is fund raise and attempt at recruiting. When one of my children was working at a local org, recently, he spent most of the time off of his post. He would either be the stand in receptionist, which is really a security guard, and calling-in for events and being in stupid events. These events, of course, were to raise money for the Ideal mOrg and IAS. I kept asking why would people give their hard earned money to a “church” that was worth billions? I even told them of the story, from the 70s, when I had to count a million dollars in cash and send off 2 missionaires to a Swiss bank with the briefcases padlocked to their wrists.
And they need the sheeples money? I don’t think so. My son normally wouldn’t get paid for a weeks work while DM has $10,000 suits.
Complete scam!
Money for nothing! …
(once again) And your chicks for free…
Mike, you remember Inez Park, the wife of Philip Park who was in the Port Captain’s office? She worked in the SO#1 Unit at Flag and confirmed to me all those letters that were supposedly from the ole man were written and signed by she and other staff in that Unit.
Yes, I do recall her. Anyone who had any interaction with the SO#1 unit (I was senior to them as CO CMO CW — the “Personal Office of LRH” was Dept 21 of the CMO Org board) knows those letters were not seen or signed by him.
I must say that the waking up process is revelatory, making me realize the true extent of the manipulation.
Yes. Oddly, in retrospect, finding out that LRH didn’t personally answer my mail really, really bugged me when I find escaped.
How was that posted everywhere in the org with that special little box and Flag Reps running around asking if you’ve written Ron lately? “All mail sent to me will be received my me…” Arrrrrgh. It’s treachery on a gigantic scale.
I hereby rename it COD – Church of Deception.
Hi JustLook, Your post resonated strongly for me.I blew in 78 and did not fully realize how I had been played,except in three instances,that The SO1 line letters went to him and he received them.I did not totally absorb that this was not 100% true until late 2015 and it was a revelation that is for sure!
The LRH Comms for Asho D & F were always pushing the drop- boxes etc.I wrote three times a week for four years.KoolAided to the tips of my toes at that time,until other stuff occurred and I knew I had to get out.Love,Ann.
CPO, seriously? Ron wasn’t the one answering my letters to him? I….I…I’m crushed. Stop the planet, I want to get off.
I was surprised by that also OSD.
Too late, Doug! I’m crying in my beer…..
Beer? CRYING IN YOUR BEER? And you didn’t tell me. You’re supposed to invite me when there’s beer.
Oh wait, someone already a similar comment to this comment yesterday.
Beer good. Beer is God’s way of letting us know she exists and she loves us…..
Wow! Under PAC Estates Organization, they have a list of positions available….and not one, NOT ONE, is for a surf instructor!!! What am I, chopped liver? Whoever heard of an org close to any ocean that didn’t have a surf instructor? What’s the world coming to…..
Well, if they don’t want you to surf the Internet, what’s the point of a surf instructor?
I guess I’m just plain useless……
NOt so, OSD. Its all very hush-hush, but I have it on good authority that with your extensive aquatic experience,you have been selected for grooming for the post of C/S for the False Porpoise Rundown,a brand new Scientology rundown, to be delivered only at Sea World.
Right OSD. No more failed porpoises!

If he is really lucky it will be a Jackass and of course it will be a short one!
I will admit that some of this stuff is good for making motivational posters.

Good one. I think it would be even better if it said, “Mental chains are stronger than gold.”
