Yeah, Mental Health is Suppressive
And this special OSA Int Speaker is nobody…
The Special OSA Int Speaker…
Looks like Jesse has actually been sent there on mission to try to get this craphole ready for Miscavige to yank his ribbon. Not really special. A flunky who could be spared from OSA Int and they parlayed that into some status to try to attract suckers.
They’re “clearing” some city, apparently not Santa Barbara any more. Those words are now forbidden.
Soar to your eternity?
Seems like its sort of inevitable, so what’s the point of “soaring” rather than “relaxing” or “chilling”? Does it come faster?
The Bard of Coney Island is back
Go Long Island, go.
Well, these guys aren’t doing much disseminating…
So, let’s have them explain to everyone else how to do it.
The Advanced Org has a field auditor telling them how to do it…
The standards in these Sea Org orgs have dropped below anything ever dreamed of
Flag Whales doing their thing
Beached himself in Edinburgh to tell them how its done – and be stroked a wee bit by the locals as some sort of big being. No vanity to see here folks.
Here’s another one…
I guess this keeps them out of ethics trouble at the FSO too?
Who is this guy?
Last week he was doing this at Valley?
He is not a staff member?
He is an “international TV personality”? Did they feature him on scientologyTV or something?
Sunday School…
Kiss Me?
They are dumb AF
Yep, these guys look like true Scots…
$65 to see this guy?
Because he is OT VIII?
That is a reason to avoid him like the plague…
The resurgence in “The Miracle City”
From what I hear the staff they got to join for the ribbon yanking have pretty much all left after nothing they were told was going to happen came true…
But hell, who could resist watching a video of Shermanspeak on a Friday night imparted by the wondrous COB?
Ooh Columbus must be next on the ribbon yanking lineup
They are frantically trying to get their CF filed!
But OMG, this “org” has a grand total of 27,800 people who have EVER bought a book or taken any type of service in its entire history?
And here they are…
What is left from from that 27,800.
It’s USA All The Way
That way every whale can be hit up for every small and failing org that remains undone.
How long before it’s “We Are The World” — Bridgeforth and Winteregg seem to be jumping the gun.
Freewinds Desperation
Urging people to get onto the Purif or SRD at their local org? And they will be sent a “Freewinds Birthday Game Commendation”?
Even more desperate
One week, with food, $525
Whatever happened to the idea the Freewinds is selling the highest state of spiritual attainment in scientology? Selling themselves a little short wouldn’t you think?
Columbus Cliches
Did she literally watch a bunch of the SuMP “success” videos, take notes and then type them into a string of run-on sentences?
A Seminar for Cathy Fraser
She needs it badly.
I am sure that “Specialst” in PR and Marketing will be able to give her some pointers on how to deal with visitors outside the gates at Gold.
Oh boy, overboards, run out of countries, not finding the buried treasure…
…and much, much more.
Seriously?
They ARE in a galaxy far, far away.
Special Guest Speaker?
A Sydney staff member… Woohoo.
Team Canada. Yay!
They didnt even have to buy a building. Just renovate the one they have had since 1979. STILL not done (but they did Cambridge?) after 15 years. But now it’s going to happen?
And THIS is now what is required for them to open the “AO Canada”?
“What we did not know all along?” Really?
Ridiculousness…
The reason for an ideal org in Ventura is the beaches? That “allows for” massive dissemination potential?
Hey guys, how come you aren’t down on the beaches already then? Afraid of having sand kicked in your faces perhaps?
But looking forward to the ideal org in Cabo shortly. And Tahiti. They’ve got great beaches.
First step…
Inherit or marry into it.
its all downhill from there.
Nothing over the top about this quote…
And if this IS what is being offered, isn’t $15 and a free BBQ undervaluing it just slightly?
Sounds like a snake oil salesman: “This elixir cures cancer, blindness, dementia and grows back missing limbs… just $15 or 2 for $20.”

Exactly who are these 6-8 people from the “outside” that will volunteer to work on the Columbus CF for free 7 days a week for 10 hours a day for 7 weeks and have nothing better to do? On what planet is that gonna happen? What lunatics!
It’s just as well this will never happen. I can’t imagine a bigger waste of time than detailed filing of people who were forced to part with money for a Dianetics book 27 years ago.

Commendations mean NOTHING when it comes down to it. I had about 15 years worth, and when it came down to a Comm Ev, they essentially meant nothing. They did not help the outcome one iota. Another SCAM that Scientology cons their parishioners with.

Serious Question: what exactly is (supposed to be) done during the Central Files project?
Nicholas Jordan says
This if not somewhat common is a simple idea of go in and do what needs to be done anyway; CF is often neglected with ask-off’s having to make multiple requests which sometimes nearly never get done ~ in speaking with Div6 Austin back in mid to late 80s I heard of hiring mailing lists which is a convoluted subject of its own — I did a mailing using a hired service for my Legal Services spending some 700 something dollars and got zero response; Most of it goes straight into trash and one business where I sent another one that I had actually worked for the person had a pile several feet of those — mine would have been somewhere in it — My most important advice to anyone whom is anywhere in this is Never Never get on their mailings unless want to be dunned permanently ( dunned is lingo from Dunn & Bradstreet used in business )
When I got an account at Sam’s Club the mailings resumed with my 2 labels from decades prior which went to PMB in Grapevine Texas ••• I worked for person whom was hired at Prosper Texas to clean their Dallas Mission barn at that location ~ His name is Corky – he commented on how organized they are
Central Files needs that
I Yawnalot says
Churlya Wuerful?? You’ve got to be kidding me… She was around when I was on staff. She spruked shit then, and I guess she’s better at it now, since that’s all any Scientologist does anyway. She truly doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together if she hasn’t seen the light by now. I’m flabbergasted that such a person can be suckered for so long… Miscavige sure does have some loyalist pets scattered about.

Yep Churlya is still around and is Scientology’s mouthpiece every time the Moonies front group ‘Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL)’ have their interfaith meetings – https://youtu.be/DwWZszFPtCo

ScientologyClusterFuck says
Dear Scientology,
Enjoying my life on the prison planet and don’t really care if this sector is cleared. I’ve made friends with all the BT clusters that have attached to my spirit and we all get along fine. I’ve learned to love my engrams. I’m not concerned about my case, or where I am on the whole track.
So I don’t need to go up the bridge to total freedom into the OT levels. And I’m not really concerned about spiritual freedom or realizing my potential. I’m just basically pretty happy. So it looks like you really have nothing to offer me even if I was willing to spend $750,000 to get to the top of the bridge, and have a room full of books by L Ron Hubbard.
Sincerely,
A Very Happy SP!

Is this him? There’s no direct evidence i can see, but comparing the very old footage of him in the photo and on the video with the recent photo on the flyer, and this video of him on a visit to Saint Hill https://vimeo.com/262990381, i reckon it is.

‘Twas interesting to see Teri quoting the purpose of CF. AND to note where she’d slightly misduplicated, dropped out a word or two. Unbelievably, it’s still drilled into my brain and it’s clinging with the tenacity of a dog to his bone.
jere lull (38years recovering) says
It’s such a shame that Tubby decided to lash out at psych professionals, painting the whole profession of hard-working, caring people with a flood of hyperbolic misrepresentation. It’s not as if he had anything better to offer. Shrinks and social workers — the folks who deal in ‘talk’ therapy, DO help people somewhat, most times, even if the gains are temporary. IMO, scientology could have done at least as well by ‘flying ruds’, but Ron wouldn’t hear of it. Depressed? Just buck up and grow a pair. Otherwise we’ll sentence you to hard work and degrading punishments until your attitude changes or you die. “The whippings will continue until morale improves.” [believe it or not, I suffered one wog boss who had that quote up on his wall. WORST guy I worked for in 35 years and half a dozen companies. He had another poster:”We’re going to have a sales contest. Winners get to keep their jobs.” TRUTH! Guy was worse than any Sea Org manager I experienced. With them, at least the rules were defined and in writing — excruciatingly detailed writing.

I have lived here in Ventura since 1982. Yes, our beaches are wonderful. I am at the beach surfing or fishing a few times a week. I am also an ambassador with the Ventura Visitors Bureau as part of our tourism board.
As I have brought up before, the building this Idle Morgue is on a road that is somewhat difficult to find. There is nothing else on that road, there is no foot or car traffic since it dead-ends at a swamp (bird sanctuary) at the end of that street.
There are train tracks right behind it. Perfect place to view and protest this ribbon yanking.
I would like to organize a protest as it gets closer.
Side note: I saw the OSA and Sea Org losers in the mission here the other day when I returned their mail to them.

Free BBQ. $15. Seriously?
Surely, they are not charging $15 for pressing Play on a decades old recording that has been sold at inflated prices already to any sucker who will have it. After all, they brag about the public services they provide in their “churches.”
Free BBQ. Free public service. Invitation to freedom. Freedom from $15?
These grifters may be faking it when it comes to clearing the planet. But they are deadly serious when it comes to lifting your wallet!
Mary Kahn says
Oh Gawd! So now someone who finishes OT VII has to be programmed next for their Purif (and surely they need another one) and their Survival RunDown (and surely they need hundreds and hundreds MORE hours of Objectives to get them into present time). I don’t know, I think if one isn’t in Present Time or has toxins affecting his/her system while on OT VII, they should be made to do OT VII AGAIN, you know, after they complete their program of PURIF and SRD.
What a load of sticky stuff.
Richard says
Speaking of sticky stuff, in 1980 when I was “doing Scientology”* in Los Angeles a lifelong friend visited me while he was on a business trip and I took him on a tour of the American Saint Hill Organization where I was studying. I found out much later that he always thought my participation in Scientology was odd but he never said anything negative about it. These days if I mention anything about Scientology he worries I’m still stuck in Scientology. haha
* doing scientology – Yesterday one of the characters on Regraded Being’s episode mentions, “It’s just a matter of time before we can publicly and proudly say ‘I am a Scientologist’ . . . “. I don’t recall taking on that identity and telling anyone “I’m a Scientologist” while I was “In” but I figured everyone else should eventually do Scientology so I guess I was a Scientologist. It seemed logical at the time but doing Scientology in the current CoS would be frightening.
Richard says
My friend is a realist and an atheist. After he watched the HBO movie “Going Clear” I guess he’s now certain that I was an oddball for doing Scn back then. On the tour of ASHO I gave him he probably looked at the students in the courseroom playing with e-meters with tin cans attached and people sitting in chairs staring at each other as odd. A couple of times I’ve tried to explain to him that I never got into the far fetched stuff and I looked at Scn as a form of self improvement, self awareness and psychology but he’s not convinced so I’ve dropped the subject. We’ve known each other since kindergarten and have plenty of other things to talk about. I’m not anti religious but we both enjoy trashing “organized” religion.
Sue says
“I don’t recall taking on that identity and telling anyone “I’m a Scientologist”
“It’s a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist” “You have to earn it” – TC
I’m sorry – I read that line from your post and the first thing that came to mind was TC spouting off in that video – made me actually laugh out loud – I have never met anyone that has actually admitted out loud – “I am a Scientologist”.
It’s interesting to me because I know literally dozens of people who openly admit they are Catholic/Baptist/Protestant etc etc
Richard says
In a sense TC was right about “You have to earn it”. If you just read a book or did the Communication Course and split you’re still a Wog.
You need to spend a lot of time and money and have some credentials (scientology certificates) in order to call yourself a Scientologist.
Somehow my scientology “Minister of the Church” certificate survived in the bottom of a trunk so I can prove I once was a scientologist.
Peabody says
We need 6 full time volunteers to work 10 hours a day for 7 weeks. 2 seaorg members will be there in CF because their stats were down, even when I am not. You have to suffer a little bit because there is no experience without it. It’s not complicated.
The task is unreal and we don’t want to be like other ideal orgs which didn’t get their CF in order before the ribbon was yanked.
We have a plan! We need outside volunteers, food, transportation, rooms to stay, time, personal interest, including personal possessions and more donations. My job is to coordinate what is needed and wanted when I am there.
We did get 9 to help over the weekend. Thanks, but that is not the correct estimation of effort. Shit, we’ll be lucky to get the job done by 2020.
We need to prevent Claire and Sue from going to the hole.
See you soon, ARC & ML,

Just to show you how one’s perspective can radically change: I looked at that e-meter ad and immediately thought, “That looks like some futuristic sex toy.” Of course I just may be revealing more than intended. Perhaps some Freudian analysis would be in order. That, or a sec check.

George M White says
Scientology is a revolving door. All of these speakers have been plucked from the current mass of suffering in the “Church”. If Scientology had any real truth, the countless great people who have left the church would be represented. There would be developed OT’s who have stayed in. But Scientology is a double standard of the highest order. Hubbard wanted a new bridge developed to support his genetic entity “being” and his anti-Christ aspirations. Now the mass of members follow Miscavige. Either way there is no truth. Tax exempt status is a joke. With the overt ways that members are blocked from the truth, it seems that only an unlikely revolution from within would only crack the insanity.
Scribe says
“The salvation hoped for these past two thousand years is here. You are being told that in this paragraph. And it is true.”
Why Ron, because you said so?
“It has not come with blares of trumpets or the flare and flash of flame. It has come quietly in your letter box (you’re still using these?) and you aren’t at all sure you should believe it.”
Nice try again Ron, hoping to mirror my thoughts. I’m sure I don’t believe it. Good luck on Target Two.
By the way, you might want to monitor L’il Davy from up there. He seems to be stuck in a Napoleonic valence as membership plummets to an all time low.
Wynski says
Pat the Parody & Co. have never disseminated scamology to “wogs”. All they have ever done is hammer already scamologists to pay more money into orgs and IAS. If they ever spoke to a “wog” about scamology they’d wet their Depends.
janedoe2 says
Yes Pat is all in it for the money which is why he never touches a wog to FSM. There’s no money in it. While the Power FSMs may give lip service on how to get raw meat public into scn, none of them do it. I know this because when I was in I tried to pass Non Scn people I had successfully disseminated to over to these high up FSM’s and none of them wanted the cycle. The only one who was honest about it was Power FSM Divona Lewis. She told me she never works with wogs or people low on the Bridge because there’s no money in it and, “the real money is having selectees on OT VII.”
Annie Oakley says
Snort! Yep! I also remember Pat speaking to a room full of students many years ago and telling them that he gets that they are artists and all but that they need to set that aside and stop pursuing their art careers and go get a job that makes a lot of money (ie sales) for a while and go up the bridge first. … Yeah right. As if. Because after somebody is up to their wazooos in debt, they’re really going to be able to stop and shift gears and pursue their art… They’re stuck slaving away at a make-money job or they’ve been shanghai’d into the sea org by then… And I can’t help but wonder if any of these Power FSM’s really believe what their selling at this point…

Thrice through and I’m still trying to determine a significance to the caps in Kelly Silva’s flyer. “KSH” What the heck does THAT stand for??

It’s KFH and stands for Key Find How. Sorry, I can’t tell you what that means.
jere lull (38years recovering) says
At least Jesse has an identifiably scientology email address. of course MOST folks already have a rule in their in-box that automatically trashes or marks asa “junk” anything from a scientology @ddress. SO, his outflow won’t be all that effective (as if it would be without such an identifiable SPAM identifier.)

I’m confused: Must be a MU: WHAT is “Canadian attire?” In all my years seeing canadians and knowing them, I never noticed that they dressed any differently than anyone else. Well, all I can think of is that they MIGHT dress in warmer stuff due to the temperature differences this time of year in the frozen north, BUT I had a Canadian girlfriend for awhile in CW; she certainly had appropriate attire for the beach and made it look fantastic.
Kronomex says
“Canadian attire” is lumberjacks clothing and high heels and women’s clothing underneath.
Valboski says
OMFG !!!!! You took me right here with that comment !!!!!!!

Men dressing in women’s clothing seems to be a recurring joke to the English and particularly funny to them. In these days of political correctness in America and Canada you gotta be careful what you say. I need to go wash my lingerie.
Kat LaRue says
IDK- must be kilts since the Scottish folks are dressed up in old west attire??? Does any of this make sense?
Pizza Driver says
I also was stumped by “….we’ll have an Advanced Organization on Canada soil.”
Sue says
From this Canadian – all I can say is – currently I am in jeans – sneakers – and a hoodie.
Yesterday, I wore sweatpants and a t-shirt (it was a day off here).
Not sure that counts as “Canadian Attire” – but then I’m not even sure what that means tbh.
As a Canadian – maybe it’s something I should learn about – I might be breaking all kinds of Canadian
dress codes – it might get me kicked out of the country or laughed at or something.
As an aside from possibly not being dressed like a Canadian – I was dismayed that we have an actual
AO anywhere in Canada – hopefully for not much longer

Nice catch TA. And it makes total sense too. You’d have a hard time finding actual Scios that look that happy and enthusiastic.
PickAnotherID says
Can’t be much of a television personality either, at least outside of $CN-TV. This is what IMDb has to say about him, “No results found for Meke Kattan”.
And he hasn’t done all that much within $cientology either, this is all the ‘Truth About $cientology’ has on him:
The following 3 individual completions for Meke Kattan appear in official Scientology publications:
Meke Kattan, OT® ELIGIBILITY, Source 252, 2018-06-01
Meke Kattan, ADVANCED SOLO AUDITOR COURSE, Source 252, 2018-06-01
Meke Kattan, NEW OT VI, Source 252, 2018-06-01
Note: The dates listed above are the approximate publication dates of the magazines, which may be weeks or months later than the actual date the service was completed.
Peggy L says
I was curious too TrevAnon. First I put in Meke Kattan and didn’t see anything that seemed related to that name, then I put in Meke Kattan Scientology and most everything came up Mike Rinder, then did find something about Facebook, Gerardo Meke Kattan Tel Aviv, Israel His favorite book is Dianetics
Youth for human rights international is listed under “Other”
I thought maybe they spelled his name wrong at first and it should have been Mike 🙂
Mary Kahn says
Oh My God!???
Kat LaRue says
Lol- good catch. How bad it must be in the cult that they cannot find people who look like they are sucsessful twenty/thirty-something’s ( I am assuming that the group from Detroit didn’t make the cut) and were reduced to using shutter stock.
Have they always done these $10.00 classes or is this a new thing?
Kat LaRue says
Meke Kattan seems to have recently been on something called LA Greek- Hebrew Radio…I guess that makes him an international television personality??? And the Dr. Who can pull in 65.00 a ticket is a chiropractor- I guess he’s qualified to bring in some cash…I wonder what his superpower is? Magically straightening a spine?
