What a freaky coincidence that their seemingly personal messages describing their experiences at Flag were identical – I mean word for word – right down to the 10,000 people at the opening! HMMMM….

A Message from Colleen Weinstein
I have been at Flag over the past 4 days with about 10,000 other Scientologists attending four EPIC events delivered by Chairman of the Board. It’s cliché but I think “WOW… WOW… WOW…” is really the best decription of what has presented at this weekend’s events. To tell you a summary of the event would just not do it justice, so please arrange to go to your local org next weekened. But here are some highlights: At the first event COB went over how various LRH discoveries and orders got altered and muddied-up over the years. It is quite a story. The discovery and remedy of means a much better Bridge for everyone. The second event was devoted to the training side of the Bridge, the other 50% of the gains available in Scientology. This will now be available in every org in the world – in 17 languages, thanks to the 1,090 outer-org trainees who have completed the new training courses that comprise the Golden Age of Tech Phase II. There were so many topics to be covered. The pace was fast and furious, all leading up to a full description of Super Power and the Cause Resurgence Rundown and arrival on the stage of 178 new delivery staff for these rundowns. Oh, and then we were showed a virtual tour of the inside of the new building! There are lots of new materials being released to help PCs progress up the Bridge: new films, new courses, new lectures, on and on. These new releases on training shorten the time for everything from the Student Hat to Solo Auditor training. That is just the appetizer! It just keeps getting better and better! On Sunday, 17 November, was the Grand Opening of the new Flag building and it has been very exciting to be part of all the activity. There must have been 10,000 people in the streets around the building and cheering the ribbon cutting. The building is unbelievably gorgeous! You will love it when you get a chance to come to Flag and see it and do a service there. We can guarentee you will leave each event exhilarated and so glad you didn’t miss it . There isn’t one you will want to miss! You really have to see these events to get the data directly. It just isn’t possible to duplicate how big a step this is for our future via this email. See you all there. You MUST NOT miss these EPIC events. They are going to change the speed of progress up the Bridge and training like nothing ever seen before. I am overwhelmed at the enormity of what this all means for you, me, and all the other being on this planet — and beyond. See you all on Saturday, 23 November, and Sunday, 24 November, at the Seattle Ideal Org. You can also welcome our 12 trainees back from Flag who have all trained on Golden Age of Tech Phase II. Much Love, Colleen Weinstein |

You know someone should just cross post these to the respective email lists, maybe a few would have a cognition that something a little weird is going on.
ThetaPotata says
This is really something. What’s next? You are handed a success story to sign at the end of all completions. The freedom of creating your own communication is now being taken over.
I went to see the Hunger Games movie over the weekend. There are a lot of similarities with the future society in the movie and the current COS. Flag is like the capital city and the orgs are like the districts. In the movie, it is all about control and PR is everything. The C of S even has it’s own evil dictator.
divaexmachina says
Copypasta Tech!
Graham says
“Oh, and then we were shown a virtual tour of the inside of the new building!”
Gosh- you went all the way there and you were content just to have a virtual tour? Did it not strike you as suspicious that you were standing right next to the building and you didn’t get a real tour of the actual building?
The wording used by the Rockl’s is: “I think “WOW… WOW… WOW…” ”
Colleeen Weinstein is at least sufficiently embarrassed by having to write that, that she adds the words “It’s cliché but I think “WOW… WOW… WOW…”
Richard Roberts says
Did anyone ever read technical degrades! Boasting that you can now deliver grades in X hours!

“Captain Miscavige and his ship of fools blunder from iceberg to iceberg.”
Mike you will be interested to know that this morning it was reported that and iceberg the size of Singapore (about 250 sq. miles) has broken loose and is floating free in Antarctica. It is expected to make its way into shipping lanes before long.
Coincidentally David Miscavige is rumored to have taken the
he helm of the Freewinds this morning with hundreds of Sea Org members aboard and is steaming south at 150 knots (175 mph) to intercept the massive ice island while babbling something about a “final solution”. Thoughts?
Hallie Jane says
LOL! He’s purchasing the iceberg, (fundraising in progress), and on it will be, the first ideal org antarctica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (fundraising in progress)
Focus says
Hilary and Ray are Vancouver’s OLs of the highest order and have been for many years. Huge donators to everything Miscavage. I have a feeling the OLs were surveyed in each org field and were sent form letters to push to the public. I wouldn’t be surprised if every org had something like this sent out but with different names attached.
Natural Philosopher says
A couple of really of really odd outpoints exist in these letters:
They obviously violate Letter Reg policy by being SPAM letters!)
a) A false claim of the numbers of attendees.
b) A claim of 178 new staff to deliver the Rundowns – how many were quicksilvered from their normal posts to cover this ‘new’ program? Assumed Identities Not Identical.
c) Notice the datum that the training will be delivered in 17 languages in all orgs. You know what that means, don’t you – the orgs are going to be just LOADED up with packs and books in all 17 languages to handle the ‘demand’ created by this massive campaign. A massive added inapplicable as they won’t need one percent of the materials they now have to buy.
DM – you are just sooo busted!
Frenchie says
Great picture of someone cheating. If only this case also represented a human weakness of someone trying to get ahead or keep up, instead of a orchestrated program to manipulate and control. It also shows they do not trust their public and they are desperate. Your exposing this type of “canned” content should speed up the loosening of their grip on the lives and minds of the remaining flock.

Lol I got that same e-mail

Contrary to the claims of some bitter defrocked apostates on the fringe of the internet, it is not “a freaky coincidence that their … personal messages describing their experiences at Flag were identical – … word for word – right down to the 10,000 people at the opening!”
These personal messages are identical due to the unprecedented Synchronicity unleashed because of the Theta Tsunami unleashed during the previous weekend releases.
http://www.pararesearchers.org/index.php?/20080804536/Psychic-Phenomenon/Synchronicity.html
As a proof of this Synchronicity, the brightest gamma-ray burst ever seen had reach the earth recently due to the unprecedented Theta Tsunami unleashed recently.
http://www.okcfox.com/story/24056356/scientists-witness-biggest-brightest-cosmic-explosion-ever-seen-call-it-a-monster
As a side note, a Disturbance has been detected during the Theta Tsunami, due to an unanticipated Helicopter interfering with the theta waves rippling across the universes.
Barbi Luvstrom says
Lying and being generally disingenuous is the new OT. Funny … “To tell you a summary of the event would just not do it justice, so please arrange to go to the Peretz Centre this weekend – Saturday and Sunday – 6 pm (see address and map at the end of this email).” – So after years of seeing PR that says to “come in to see for yourself”, now they’re telling people already in to ‘come in and see for yourself’. Everyone, just don’t forget your credit cards. Everything was muddied up, for all these years. Wow, wow, wow!
Thoughtful says
And of course if this is the coordinated message going out about the event, than guaranteed it was approved by… or more certainly, written by DM personally. DM has now bypassed nearly everyone… except the public supposed to receive these emails. So now we know the next step: DM will have to fake responses to his own fake emails.
one of those who see says
Perfect Comment.
My thought on the duplicate emails signed by the people like they wrote them – which is lying to all the people they sent them to. Creepy. Really Creepy.
Barbi Luvstrom says
Only 2,000 people at the event, and they’re changing it to 10,000. Easier than finding 8,000 more extras.
Aquamarine says
I wish I had a clever, informed comment to share after reading these two nearly identical emails, but all I can think of is “WOW WOW WOW I think I’m going to be sick”.
Idle Morgue says
This is how “mind control” works.
The PT Barnum tent is part of the “show” – the Scientologist’s can’t really see the amount of people there and they believe EVERYTHING COB tells them…so hundreds of people can “feel” like 10,000 people, especially when so many of these people see no one in their Orgs.
Scientologist’s are so desperate that David Miscavige saves their religion so they can be right about wasting all their time and money on this fraudulent Organization!
The Staff that were forced to come to this event are in apathy…and getting away, having some good food and seeing hundreds of like-minded people can give them a bit of a boost. Then they listen to COB and repeat every word he says when they return.
This is what human beings do – they duplicate and copy each other…that is why Scientology Keeps Working…as long as they can keep some of these poor people in the Scientology Bubble…Scientology will work…but only in their minds!
Globetrotter says
Hey, here is Dave’s ingenious application of marketing wisdom in promoting the Dianetics DVD:
The DIANETICS book: Now on Film!
How to Use DIANETICS DVD
• 2-DVD Package
• Over 4 1/2 hours of film
• 651,000 feet of footage
• Over 10,000 computer-generated effects
Yes, this is REAL – it’s on http://www.newera.dk
Sounds familiar?
Just as LRH intended – the selling points of Dianetics to new public are how many special effects and the length of film used to create the DVD…
Panda Termint says
Wow, that “personal email” is pretty awesome!
Back in the day we used to get tasked by OSA with doing this kinda thing with Letters To The Editor and so forth but the big differences are that (1) you needed to reword the Form Letter and “make it your own” (lol) and, more importantly, (2) we were manipulating the Suppressive Wog Press and their Idiot Readers not our fellow scientologists and comrades in arms.
Oh wait… uh oh! Cancel that bit about not manipulating our fellow scientologists and comrades in arms. Carry on!
remoteviewed says
Obviously these so called “wins” were implanted with the exact same wording.
Wow wow wow….whatever.
Don’t know this Colleen chick but she does look like your average status seeking moron.
Though I’ll admit looks can be deceiving.
Hill and Rocky on the other hand are former GOWW if I remember rightly in which case I wouldn’t trust anything they publish.
In conclusion one is stupid and the other two are false.

Just got back from “catching Fire” I couldn’t help but compare the control and the words people were told to say to protect their loved one.

Great comment Globetrotter. Really nails down Davey’s career as COB.
I guess with this statement from Davey’s approved form letter:
“There must have been 10,000 people in the streets around the building and cheering the ribbon cutting.” The photoshopped photo will shortly be released.
Can’t wait to compare it to your great aerial shots. I’m sure once the bots that are still in see the difference between the two they will be doing a “WOW… WOW… WOW…”
Mary McConnell says
They probably weren’t even at the event, lol! ( jk)
Globetrotter says
“You really have to see these events to get the data directly. It just isn’t possible to duplicate how big a step this is for our future via this email.”
It was possible to describe every step of LRH’s discoveries which lead to the development of Dianetics and Scientology, which you can learn on the Basics courses (it’s all in writing)… but it ISN’T possible to describe or duplicate in writing how Miscavige re-published the courses and finally let the dusty 9 year old e-meters out of the warehouse.
Sounds just right.
hiatus57 says
Never in the field of human cultism has “So much been taken for so long from so many”.
Ahhhh things got muddled up and and that psychotic little dwarf has sorted it all out with a simple price increase and a squirrel checksheet for the Student Hat that violates KSW 1 and Tech Degrades PL.
How can people attest to an OT level and be unable to see the outpoints. I have seen so many cases buggered up in the Independent field with out -Tech , other -Tech and out right evil in some cases, but the Church really is no better, but is a lot more expensive.
I guess we really are on our own from here on out.
SRL says
10,000? Where we’re they hiding?
Miss Tia says
They must have had to duck under vehicles and climb up trees to hide from ‘Mike & Mike Helicopter Tech’! 🙂
Doug Parent says
“10,000? Where we’re they hiding?”
Maybe Shelly Miscavige has seen them.
Mary Rathernotsay says
Lol. I can’t wait until Shelly wakes up one day, makes her escape, and writes a book that will make Jenna’s book look like Pollyanna. It has to happen.
None can stop the inevitable.

They won’t be hiding in the Photoshopped version!

Hum. Evidence.
Globetrotter says
“…how various LRH discoveries and orders got altered and muddied-up over the years. It is quite a story.”
I bet it is. In the ONLY religion on Earth which was created in the 20th century, during the first period in human history when writing and speaking could finally be recorded exactly, in 100% unquestionable form, to remain on record for eternity. It is easy to understand how, with all that technology available, one of the most productive writers and lecturers that the planet has ever seen in terms of quantity, who was adamant about his every word being recorded and treated as scripture, would have its discoveries “altered and muddied up”. It is quite credible, that that would happen to a religion which has as one of it’s basic policies that “if it isn’t written, it isn’t true.” I can clearly see how the only religion on Earth which claims to have the “uniformly workable” technology of predicting human behavior, plus PTS/SP tech, can miss SPs within its own rank, and at the highest echelons to boot (about, say 80% of all people there, based on the number of people declared or RPF’d or Holed at Int). It’s quite credible. That’s why COB has such a hard time – he hardly finishes declaring almost everyone around him and correcting all the mess they made, when another group of SPs crawl out of the woodwork, pretend to be good, social, Int qualified, sec-checked-to-death dedicated Scientologists… and mess it up all over again! And again. And again. And again. Poor guy!
Sure. I can see how this all happened. Over and over. After COB, who has access to all the archives of the religion, corrected EVERYTHING and gotten it 100% on-source in 1991 (after all the SPs “muddied it up”) announces that it’s all done now, just to say it was all messed up again in 1996, but – gasp! – he discovered the reason and fixed it! But wait, there is more! Because it is so hard to get to his archives which are in his back yard, it took him another 11 years to discover that the books all of this was based on were all wrong! And BAM! He fixes it all by his lonely self! But then, when you think we are all safe… think again! The plot thickens… those bloody SPs he thought he has shattered the last time raise their ugly heads again, and yet again, mess up the materials he already fixed so many times! Gosh, my head is spinning now… it’s all so complicated, I no longer know who’s who and which side they are on… but it seems we have reached the happy end (for now) – so see you until the next episode, which I can GUARANTEE will blow your socks away!
Yes, I have to agree. It’s quite a story.
Mary Rathernotsay says
Crack up!
When Paul Haggis was quoted as saying that Scientologists lacked irony I was totally onboard with his observation. That Jokers and Degraders policy burned my socks off as much as that Responsibilities of Leaders nonsense. The same order of magnitude of suppression it seemed.
I am very pleased to find the irony that “Scientologists” had been missing alive and well here on this very blog of mostly ex-Scientologists. Y’all make me proud….
Oh yeah, better late than not at all! Love you guys!
And thank you!
DollarMorgue says
What makes you think Scientologists lack irony? They live it every day!
Ronn S. says

knatherthomas says
New lectures for tech training? Since they have all of LRH’s lectures in a digital data base I guess they can edit together “whatever” to guide GAT II auditors in the “how to” of auditing without the pesky digressions LRH just can’t help himself from making. This could speed up the lectures and the training. But what will these lectures actually be telling people to do? That’s the scary part.
The new e-meter is a bit creepy but in fairness, I never liked the plastic one’s either. Always missed the feel of the beautiful Mark V wood and the black dials. Oh, well.
In truth, it doesn’t really matter because they aren’t really doing Scientology any more.
Joe Pendleton says
Just received this special comm from Flag from a good friend:
I’m going mental, I must say, after the epic events. Like give me a break, can you believe I have my eternity back?

Paul J says
If stats in Scientology have been booming straight up and vertical for years, why is this event called a turning point. Shouldn’t they be promoting it as an improvement on something that is already working? Instead the church is clearly promoting these changes as an excuse for poor results.
The important thing to notice here is that all these people attending these recent flags events are communicating with exhilaration and enthusiasm about nothing. There are no measurable stats to get exited about, just smoke and mirrors put on by DM. Tomorrow, when they’ve woken up from this party they’ll have a hang over and have to live with the fact that they’re still be led by DM, who is squirreling Scientology off a cliff.
Mary Rathernotsay says
ref; Paul J,
you are entirely too logical, Bro !
hansje brinker says
This reminds me of last Friday. A staff member of Amsterdam Org had put a press release on the internet about free courses. A few minutes later the same staff member wrote a reaction on that press release, pretending he was a public who had done such a course. The course was wonderful, he said. He was forgotten to change his nickname in between writing the two things ….
tony-b says
I thought Scientology courses sent IQs straight up and vertical? Didn’t work for our Amsterdam Einstein here caught up in his web of lies.
Sejanus says
When COBsucker went over how things had been altered and change over the years, did he point out it was through his efforts it happened?
WOW, WOW, WOW….I cant get over how awesome cut and paste are…it is like we all finally be of one singlemindedness under COB
How in hell do these morons function?
If someone falls into a woodchipper I feel great sadness, unless they dive in headfirst telling others how great it feels as the teeth bite down. At that point I am happy they have left the genepool.
10,000 attending…hell did extra body thetans get counted?
Jethro Bodine says
Isn’t it against policy to send out form letters? I know there are much larger outpoints in the C of $ than form letters, but I couldn’t help but comment on it.

So this Hilari, OT VIII is overwhelmed….hmmm, not very good.

Espiritu says
Mi$cavige has been fooling people for a long time. For any readers who are still buying in to his BS regarding the Tech, I invite you to TAKE A LOOK at some facts.
Quote:
“There are no more BTBs”
-David Miscavige (at the event when he announced the release of the New Tech Vols)
LRH on the other hand had described and defined what a BTB is in HCOB 24 September 1970RA, Revised 3 July 1977, entitled ISSUES, TYPES OF. It is located on pg 429 of Volume I in those same New Tech Volumes ! It has NEVER been cancelled. BTBs were never cancelled by LRH.
Take a LOOK.
He also said in HCOPL 13 January 1979, ORDERS, ILLEGAL AND CROSS:
“You cannot be comm ev’d or given a court or disciplined for not following Board Policy Letters, Board Technical Bulletins, or targets or orders that violate HCO Policy Letters.”
So a BTB which alters or changes an HCOB is unenforceable.
TAKE A LOOK.
It appears that DM’s practice is first to cancel, hide or alter LRH Tech and then several years later “rediscover” it, and then blame a generality – unnamed “SPs”.
But I admit that naming the SP would be rather awkward.
Schorsch says
We had a culture where it has been normal to say the truth. If one did lie and he got caught he lost his reputation and never again would be listened to. Now we have a culture where it seems to be normal to lie. In politics, business and even at home. We consider it almost as normal operation to not being told the truth. This is the real out point here. Not that Scientologists seem to be stupid. „Ah he is a Scientologist…do not trust him…he is after you money.“ But you can replace „Scientologists“ with many names…
I think we should point out to those people, Scientologist or your boss or someone from any echelon of government, newspaper or who or what ever, that lying is not cool and not the normal operation in our ( repeat our) society.

When they spent six months and hundreds of calls trying to recover me after over 30 years out, the person I finally convinced to blacklist me actually quoted TC’s Medal of valor speech when I asked him what he thought of DM. I laughed and said “holy fu** they’re making you Chinese School Tim Cruise’s Medal of Valor Speech?”
He said (after a comm lag) “well, it’s true.”
My response was a simple “I’ve met the man.”
That was close to the end of our conversation. After that the calls stopped. He told me he was going to blacklist me because I read the internet. What a relief!
Hallie Jane says
Quoting TC?! Unbelievable! Good one.

Mike you killed me with that pic of Mr Bean; fits perfectly!!!

As has been said, this IS disgusting, while sadly laughable.
For the many years that I was the Dir Comm/HAS at my local org OTC, never was I asked to send out a boilerplate template email and make it my own (as an OT VIII and OT Ambassador)…this is despicable. They are SO brainwashed.
Once again, tick tock, we’re witnessing a true dwindling spiral of epic proportions!

Gus Cox says
Wow, people just can’t see outpoints staring them right in the face. I understand that He Who Must Not Be Named, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center Mr. David Miscavige went on about how the BTBs contained some true LRH tech but they were all cancelled – and He has now recovered that priceless tech. But He didn’t mention that He was the one who cancelled the BTBs! Oy, vey.
Peter says
People see what they wish to see. Nothing unique or unusual about that. If they’re already fully convinced, they will literally “blank out” (as Ayn Rand put it) anything which does not fit their internal picture. It’s a very human thing to do.

I should laugh, but this is sad!
My ex-wife would not look at such. Her brain would just short-circut any contradiction
and start her self-protection mechanism.
I brought back my kids today and she looked so confident.
She obviously bought the stories from DM. I asked her if she wanted to talk and she had not comm-lag saying “no” and closed the door. :'(
Some will leave. But the brainwashed ones will stay, buy the new e-meter and redo all courses. Her face and confidence scared me. How many of her do exist?
If someone does big overts, they have to keep on doing. Can someone return when he/she has passed the point of no return?
:'(
BareFacedMessiah says
OMG, the number of typos reflect the mood I am in.
This is devastating!
Sindy Sloan Fagen says
Oh, I so understand. Can those who have passed the point of no return come back to the living? It seems unlikely, They will be like deer caught in the headlights when the truth becomes inescapable. It is scary. Your children are fortunate that one of you is not involved. Hang in there! <3
Bob Dobbs says
I don’t get why so many posters seem not to understand or empathize with those still in. Every former church-member here was once similarly blind. You woke up when you woke up — it took what it took. Obviously it take longer or more for some than it took for others — no surprise. Of COURSE anyone can come back at any time. Just look at some of the stories that have been published by new indies or exes. WILL they come back? Maybe, maybe not. But it is certainly possible. I don’t know the best actions one can take to help, but it seems to me the most important it to try to retain the possibility of communication, and to avoid like the plague invalidating the person in any way.
Mary Rathernotsay says
re: Bob Dobbs- “I don’t get why…”
AGREED.
DollarMorgue says
Bob, it’s not easy to admit you were brainwashed. Perhaps some still don’t, and instead prefer to blame it on the blindness of those still in?
Actually, when you are in for years or decades and maintain no contact with the real world (since you sneer at it), being fed the lies you don’t notice as they become increasingly obscure and insane. A lot of people also lack the training to even understand the significance of DM’s changes, and merely want their bridge. Is that so bad? No. They want their freedom. But they will sacrifice freedom and friends to get it, and I think that shows the original personality is no longer in charge. A Scientology identity has been superimposed on them, and until it becomes dislodged they will continue to sacrifice friends and freedom for eternity and never see the outpoint.
Sindy Sloan Fagen says
Bob, I hear ya. It’s rough to observe, eh?
Here’s how I see it.
Firstly, when I was in and acting the way that I was, I honestly deserved every bit of harsh ribbing that I would have gotten (unbeknownst to me) and am grateful to those who helped to set me straight when I got out.
Secondly, communication is not getting through to the people inside and the moment that any of those people pops out of the trance, they are no longer being that which is being criticized and the only way that would happen is if they start seeing this stuff themselves and when they do, everything that is being said here makes perfect sense. THAT is the only true communication there is on this, period. There is no nicey, nicey open line of communication from here to there and never will be.
Thirdly, what they are doing does warrant criticism. If I could, I would say it directly to them. They need to hear it and although they are not reading this, sometimes other non-Scn friends and family members do and it helps.
Lastly, like I said before, they are in a trance — a mind control vice grip. I am criticizing the behavior and not the genuine person underneath and frankly, I think you should know that none of us are rude or uncaring individuals.
Enough is enough. These people are aiding and abetting a criminal, toxic organization that is currently absolutely ripping apart and destroying families and they, like I did in the past, are looking the other way and allowing it to happen. It was wrong when I did it and it’s still wrong and will always be wrong.
Now, having said all that, I don’t comment on Scientology too much anymore. I find that there are many other pressing issues where I wish my efforts to go. Since I came out 3 1/2 years ago, though, I have found the outright, unabashed, no holds barred criticism to be quite cathartic and healing because it so repressed and always pushed inward. They’ll need to do it too when they get out and it’s okay.
I wouldn’t worry too much about hurting anyone’s feelings. The ones being criticized here are far too smug to care.
divaexmachina says
“and to avoid like the plague invalidating the person in any way.”
Don’t invalidate the person. Let the person know you still love him/her and will always be there. But invalidate the behavior. Invalidate the insanity. Because it’s the behavior that is contributing to the pain and suffering chronicled here and elsewhere.
Miss Tia says
I’m so sorry BFM! ((HUGS)) I have faith that some day even the brainwashed ones will wake up, right now they’re in the glow and caught up in the group enthusiasm, how long can that last until things start to settle and the reality sets in?
Hallie Jane says
Hang in there BFM. Anyone can come back, we’ve all come back from something at some time. It was so kind of you to ask if she wanted to talk, when she does, you’ll be her choice. “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. Take care of those kids, don’t let them be a casualty of all this bullshit. Reach out for a terminal if you need one.

“shown a virtual tour of the inside of the new building!”
My guess is that many building interiors are still unfinished, and that several parts are devoted to internal and external security as well as audiovisual facilities monitoring auditing rooms and courserooms. Doubtless, Davey has discrete access to these areas by private lift and secure passageways.
Rine says
Truth!
Roy Macgregor says
This is just sad. These are the OT Committee executives who are so despised by DM and RTC that they have to be given a script from RTC in order to send an email to their friends. What is sad is these people deserve the scathing contempt in which DM holds them. Anyone dumb enough to sell out their own integrity and donate themselves into the ground supporting DM’s rock-star life style deserves to be held in pretty low regard. They are getting exactly the treatment they have earned and they are lapping it up. Really sad.
cre8tivewmn says
Hilarious! Obviously these people are too blissed out by their experiences to bother adding something more personal. Realistically, these people probably had nothing personally to do with these messages.

Or, worse, they are terrified that they might make some error outside of the Munchkin’s desires and end up losing status…or be ordered to a few weeks/months of sec checking?
That the wording was precisely the same makes it clear that it was ordered to be precisely the same.
Still On Your Side says
Ms. Weinstein changed it by substituting “12” for “tech” in the last sentence. That “proves” she thinks for herself….
Lars says
OK Colleen, this statement of “how various LRH discoveries and orders got
altered and muddied-up over the years” is just another David-lie. RTRC had
to enclose with every submission to RTC and DM a full compilation along with
evidence that every word was direct source material (straight from LRH) which
included all advices, yes everything from the old man. This type of meticulous
work has always been the hallmark of RTRC and has been going on since this
unit was set up about 30 years ago.
hansje brinker says
If this isn’t a cult than what is it?
Flexible Flyer says
It is. Similar in ways to Rev. Joe Butcher’s org in License To Kill but not exactly the same.
Sindy Sloan Fagen says
Oh my god!
Mike, thank you. This is incredible. So from the original GAT, we went from “The Blind Leading the Blind” to GAT II, “The Scam Artists Leading the Brain Dead”.
At this point, though, the brain dead are also the scam artists. There seems to be ZERO honor left. Really people? Are you really going to allow this? How can you now possibly believe any communication, any thought, any win, success, idea that comes out for the church to be authentic in any way?
Are you all really improving your conditions in life when nothing you say is real or your own?
Welcome to Zombieland. Ask yourselves this, “What comes next in this evolution of the cult?” What would be more insincere and demeaning than this?
Globetrotter says
Yeah, actually, that’s what I was missing! Golden Age One had a SLOGAN: “The blind have been leading the blind”. Cool.
But what’s the SLOGAN for Golden Age Episode 2? We should have a slogan contest!
Sindy already has the opening entry:
“The Scam Artists Leading the Brain Dead”
My entry:
“And that brgins us to the greatest discovery of the history of ALL of Dianetics and Scientology. And no, I’m NOT exaggerating.. it really IS THAT important. For if you take all you knew about Dianetics and Scientology, and imagine what it is in all its glory – the ONLY road to Total Freedom – and then take a look at HOW EXACTLY LRH meant that, it may shock you, that the wisdom you find in all of the books, all of the lectures, and in any and all materials that we have come to know as Dianetics and Scientology… you take one little linchpin, and if you lose it, you have lost it ALL. You will NEVER understand what Scientology is all about, you will NEVER understand what LRH intended for you to achieve, and you will NEVER clear the planet – all because this little part that held it all together has been lost at the beginning of the journey – and you never even knew it. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present it to you: THE MISSING LINK TO TOTAL FREEDOM.
You see, originally, in Book One, LRH used the metaphor of “The Bridge” to represent your journey to Total Freedom. But, as we all knew since 1950, he also BEGGED for help at the end of that very book, pleading: “For God’s sake, get busy and build a better bridge!”
It has been right in front of our eyes. But we MISSED IT all along.
The dynamics – concentric circles…
The dwindling spiral of death – in contrast to the rising spiral of life and freedom…
The circular org board LRH mentions in numerous references…
The infinity symbol that has been part of the very fabric of Scientology from day one – just think of Scientology 0-8 or Scientology 8008…
… and I could continue on and on forever… but I’m sure some of you are already falling out of your chair. IT HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF OUR EYES ALL ALONG! How could we miss it?
Well, while it is a much longer, and very intriguing story, let it suffice, that the linchpin, this ONE little LRH reference we just found… finally puts it all in perspective. The fact that the reference was hidden in the bowels of an SP of the most vicious kind for over 40 years helps you understand how low our confront of evil has been. This SP, whom I won’t name because I don’t want to dignify him by mentioning his name, SWALLOWED the LRH reference strapped to a stone over 40 years ago, and has been going to the bathroom laying down for 40 years to keep this issue from seeing the light of day. I won’t tell you the details of the story of how a small group of dedicated Sea Org members finally obtained the document… but you can use your imagination to fill in the details.
And no matter how disgusting the extraction process might have been, boy did it worth it. For therein lay the golden key, the cornerstone, the linchpin, the very essence of Scientology and the answer to the reason why all that suffering, why all those misunderstandings, why those darkest, hopeless moments… it was NOT your fault! You were just missing this VITAL piece of the puzzle:
The “Better Bridge” LRH talked about can NEVER BE TRAVELED like a one way street. In fact, LRH WARNS against one way streets in exactly 276 places in the Basics alone! Infinity returns to itself. The dynamics continue to expand. The Org Board returns from Division 6 straight back to Division 7.
The Better Bridge LRH has been BEGGING us to build, and in actual fact, requesting ME to build, is a CIRCULAR BRIDGE, with Introductory Services following OT VIII, and there you go, back again the same route, but on a much higher level… IMAGINE the gains you will have on your sixth time around the Success Through Communication Course, after having done OT VIII 5 times! Now THAT would be communication on a whole new level, wouldn’t it?
And… there is still more. If that’s not enough, this discovery also helped us fulfill LRH’s wishes in terms of releasing OT IX and OT X. After going through everything he has ever written about these levels (and I’m talking about 11 filing cabinets worth of notes, solo auditing folders, instructions and advices on how to compile OT IX and X) I’m proud to announce that for those of you who already completed OT VIII, we are ready to deliver OT IX and X to you instantly:
OT IX consists of all the Introductory Courses in chronological sequence, followed by solo auditing on the data in those courses.
OT X consists of reading and clay demoing the What is Scientology book to FULL conceptual understanding, and then solo auditing on the DA Packs issued by OSA specifically tailored to your situation (including color photos and REAL data on your SP ex-friends, culled straight from their OWN folders). You can’t IMAGINE what this level does to restoring your personal integrity as a spiritual being, and making you impervious to black propaganda. It is de-PTSing to the extreme. It’s unlike ANY auditing you have ever experienced.
So there you have it! And that’s why I’m proud to say: the Golden Age of Tech Phase 3 is the hugest, most biggest, highest everest, most incrediblest earthshaking any universe historical oh my god this is it… and I’m spent.”
So my entry to the Slogan Contest is:
“There! I fixed it”!
crislandivar says
Pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aeolus says
Hilarious! And you just know if those words came out of Miscavige’s mouth at an event, he would get a standing ovation.
remoteviewed says
Bawaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha…..
You so perfectly capture Shermanspeak 🙂
Tony DePhillips says
Not very creative is it?
I know Colleen and she is the epitome of status oriented. Her husband makes all the money and she like to promote herself as some sort of an OT. She likes to act like it is SO EASY to get up the Bridge. I guess it is when yours is being funded through the work of someone else.
Lynne Hoverson says
Tony, please don’t carry the BS line that a woman doesn’t deserve things if her man makes the income. That is SOOoo 50’s!
Graduated says
Lynne, does that apply in reverse as well?
Tony DePhillips says
It isn’t directed at women. If anyone doesn’t earn the money and then they act like making enough money to go OT is easy so as to make others feel inferior then it is phony. That is my point Lynne,
MS says
Funny, I got an email from Lisa Sorenson that started out with “Wow…wow…wow!!!!!” I deleted it not giving two shits about an obviously contrived false enthusiasm. In fact, reading I thought, does this woman have a gun to her head as she is writing? Physically no, spiritually, yes.
Mark says
“WOW… WOW… WOW…”
So, to sum up, the much-vaunted ‘Super Powers’ consist of… cloning the word “WOW”?
Anette Iren Johansen says
GAT II = perfect DUPLICATION! Exactly what LRH intended. WOW!!!!!!!!!
Tory Christman says
GAT 2? GAT (really Golden Age of Crap 1) People knew was BS then. Why they stayed I cannot imagine.
1) Hope that s/how, s/way they WILL get the “wins” Hubbard promised them for most of their adult lives.
2) They don’t want to lose any family “in” (or family connected to others ‘in”)
3) They don’t want to lose all of their “Friends” (although they are ONLY friends as long as they JUMP through THEIR HOOPS, Their way. << My final realization that got me to fully WTFU and leave.
4) They're in a trance…and are surrounded (and bought into) too much "Fear" to LOOK.
5) Face it: we're very scary peeps. LOL 🙂 Love you ALL 🙂 Tory/Magoo
Wendy M says
lol !
Jane Doe says
So the church plants the same email in several different cities to come out at the same time, and Voila! We have agreement! We have reality! Or we just have sycophants dutifully forwarding emails that were all written for them and they only had to insert the name of the city where the replay of Flag’s event will be shown. DM is trying to write history his way and thinks that having the blind publish his party line all over the world will make it so. Think again Davie. We have the internet with pictures of how many were there thanks to Mike and Mike. And you have moles in your midst reporting to Mike what’s happening every day. Your days are numbered, Davie. The gig is up.
Gus Cox says
He Who Must Not Be Named, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center Mr. David Miscavige has been sheltered in the SO since He was 16 – that would be since the mid-1970s. I guess He hasn’t quite “cogged” on how email can be forwarded around the world instantly. He probably thinks that email addresses are like geographical addresses – send it there, and it only goes there.
Apparently, He also doesn’t realize that anybody with an iPhone can record video of His goons harassing him and post it to a worldwide audience within minutes. For Free.
So, Little Slappy Dave, gone are the days where you had to have big $$ to reach millions by taking out full-page ads in magazines and newspapers. Enjoy that old Scotch while it lasts, you little puke – it’s just a matter of time before you fail utterly and have to skip the country (or go to jail), and when you do, it will be in a really embarrassing way and we will all be LOLing our big fat asses off at you!
Bwaaaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa! I can’t help myself, I’m ROFLMBFAO already, in anticipation because Dave SCOHB 😀 😀
WIS says
It’s North Korea, Mike.
Q.E.D.
Those emails are adequate to prove the fact of what can only be properly referred to as “the party line”.
One can only imagine the impact to one’s ego/selfhood when one cannot be trusted enough– in one’s insanely sychphantic state– to write one’s own glaringly disengenuously lauditory email!!!
NO, Miscavige is NOT AWARE of how BADLY he has Screwed the Pooch (of floofed the goof or whatever you say)!
This is just one more convincing piece of the puzzle!
He is in RABID CONTROL FREAK MODE.
He “gets” that things are going the wrong way… but he is incapable of introspection, and thus… he will always blame others (and continually erode that group of others in the process).
Only the WEAKEST of the truly SICK remain.
I wish I had more compassion for them…
but there are more dogs in shelters who are fare more worthy of my time and fortune.
theosismanides says
Hahaha, this is hilarious! To our Independence… hahaha! I can’t believe the idiocy. Mike, you are such a cunning man!
