This email was forwarded to me.
Southcoast Mission is one of the few “ideal” missions and is touted as one of the “best” scientology missions on earth.
Why are they ashamed of even mentioning the word scientology in their email?
Of course, everyone knows that the reputation of scientology is horrendous. They have told so many lies and had so many abuses exposed to the world that nobody wants to associate with them. But this is NOT what L. Ron Hubbard says. He proclaims people love REAL scientology — the “Hubbard Brand” and flock to the real thing.
Seems things have changed. He put the huge sign on top of “Big Blue” to announce to the world that this was where they could come to hand over their cash in exchange for being granted eternal immortality. How things have gone downhill since then. It does not bode well for the future of the scientology empire that one of their best missions fels compelled not to mention the word in their efforts to attract new people… Somewhat reminiscent to the end of est when it had become so soiled that it was abandoned entirely and replaced by a new “brand” (The Forum then Landmark) to distance itself from the toxic old.
These guys are even afraid to mention the Purification Program. Of course, a Google search explains why.

Have you ever felt uneasy and bogged down? I’m sure we all have. We offer an amazing detox program that cleanses your body of all the toxins you have accumulated in your life. It’s been used by many, people getting off of drugs and even Police, and Fire department that was involved in the aid of the twin towers. If you would like more information give us a call or email me back.
Thank you have a good day 🙂

I think we can all be reasonably sure that there will be hell to pay from Miscavige for those poor mission folks! And orders will go out to all the rest of them, just in case they might start thinking for themselves! LOL
OhioBuckeye says
Just for laughs and giggles, I ‘Googled’ “South Coast Mission”. The first hit for them comes up as “Marriage Counselors”. Rrriigghhttttt.
WhatAreYourCrimes says
“Marriage Counselors” … Marty Rathburn dealt effectively with Nicole Kidman for MIscavige. It was counselling of a sort. TC was such a manipulated fool in their masterful hands.
And those poor, poor kids of TC and Kidman’s, counselled to write up KR’s on Nicole. If I wasn’t so numb to scientology, I’d weep.
WhatAreYourCrimes says
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… David Miscavige, you are the best thing that ever happened to help in bringing down this despicable organization called scientology. Even your own members do not want to be associated with the actual name of the “religion”.
Please keep it up!
Shirley Hubbert says
84 % recovery rate they claim..that’s pretty high in my view…
I would want some sort of proof. Such as. Testimonials. .to believe that
Old Surfer Dude says
84% recovery rate? Bwahahahahahahahahahahah. Now that’s some funny shit! Wait…what? Seriously? They’re serious about the recovery rate? Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! Who says Scientologists don’t have a sense of humor!
thegman77 says
Oh, you’d be sent LOTS of testimonials, all carefully vetted beforehand to send the message they want sent.
Steve Friedl says
I used to live about a mile and a half from the South Coast Mission and checked them out regularly, plus have studied their web pages extensively: they have only the most indirect references to Scientology.
They formerly had no mention on the building that it was Scn related, but after the “Ideal Mission” last Fall (I think, Mike covered it), the building did regain the proud Scientology logo. I’m sure this thrilled Sean Dernehl, the exec director who has apparently been trying to distance himself from LRH.
The Detox page does mention Narconon, which has “one of the lowest drug reversion rates of any drug rehab center in the world”. I guess they didn’t get the memo. The testimonial at the bottom mentions Purif. Previously this page mentioned something along the lines of “based on the work of L. Ron Hubbard”, but it no longer does.
“Anger Management” page has a video, shows the Scn logo in lower left for most of it, plus a shot of a book that has part of the word “Scientology” at the top.
Curious that the Marriage Counseling page includes “If a marriage is to be handled…”, which has been said by nobody ever. (“Honey, I think we need to handle our marriage”).
In the past, the metadata for the web pages included Scn-related references that had been commented out, but they’re gone now.
So I’m an experienced (but never-in) Scn watcher, and it takes some digging to see that it’s related to Scientology; the casual passer-by would never know.
Oren E says
“Curious that the Marriage Counseling page includes “If a marriage is to be handled…”, which has been said by nobody ever. (“Honey, I think we need to handle our marriage”).”
If a marriage needs to be handled just send the wife to work in a remote compound and go 2d on your communicator!

Badafuco says
While Miscarriage watches his dreams slowly come to an end, I sort of take comfort when I think of this dude’s daily life now, and what it will be when SCN finally dies. I mean, it’s not like he goes out on public now. He will never be able to just live a regular life, going out to dinner at some chain restuarant, shopping for groceries, going to a baseball game…
He will be publicly shunned for the rest of his miserable little life. Completely sheltered and cutoff from regular good people in the world. And ya know, I’m okay with that.
thegman77 says
He doesn’t enjoy any of those things now. He’d never desire to go to a chain restaurant. And, should he abscond, he surely will do it multi millions already moved to a variety of non US places.
Aquamarine says
I just went to South Coast Mission’s website, got their number and called. Get this: BEFORE a person answered I got an immediate robomessage: “This call may be recorded for quality and training purposes”. No, I’m not kidding. Call if you don’t believe me: 949-544-1565. A church is recording all calls made to it for quality and training purposes. You can’t make it up, folks, you can’t make it up! And somehow, I suspect that calls are being recorded for purposes other than those stated. .
Cre8tivewmn says
Or, it could be perfecrly honest. Training goes both ways.
Aquamarine says
“Training goes both ways”. I’m not sure I understand you, unless you’re being facetious, in which case its funny.
Diana Dougherty says
The “coolest religion” seems to be turning ice cold. So sad. Not. Thank you, Mike.
zemooo says
When a mission has to hide its connection to $cientology, you know that the brand needs to run the purif on itself. How do you get a niacin overdose into a ‘religion’?
Aquamarine says
“…run the purif on itself.” Very funny, zemoo. They do need to detoxify!
Wynski says
This just means that scientology is winning because the SP’s are howling SO loud that the scientology brand is too toxic to use in public.
That’s the logic according policy written L. Fraud Tubbolard anyway.
Aquamarine says
You got it, Wynski. They’re always winning. ESPECIALLY when they’re losing, LOL!
Wynski says
And we wonder why people hang in there so long…

Interested Party says
Isn’t “Hiding” somewhere close to the bottom of the Tone Scale?
Mick Roberts says
Looks like Hiding is a -8.0 (that’s negative 8.0), which is 31 spots below the famous “Covert Hostility” (1.1), and even 13 spots below “Failure” (-0.01), according to wiki. At least it’s 2 steps above “Being Nothing” (-20.0), so they at least have that going for them I suppose. This stuff is fascinating…..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_tone_scale
Tommy J says
Hysterical!!! Even Carl Spackler is higher toned than that!
Aquamarine says
You’re a quick study, Mick. Covert Hostility would be a high goal for these crooks, tone level wise.
bixntram says
Hi, Mick and everyone. I just looked up the tone scale on Wikipedia. Words NOT included in the tone scale: love, compassion, generosity, sympathy (though it does list ‘no sympathy’). These qualities don’t appear on the tone scale for one reason: Hubbard never experienced them. Also, it’s interesting that ‘sacrifice’ is only one step above ‘hiding.’
L Yash says
Thank you Mick for this link….I found it very interesting1
Most sickening to note is how many of the numbers bend toward the NEGATIVITY “options”……not much on this “tone scale” is given “points” that are positive.
It’s almost as if they EXPECT to “award” you points more to the negative side, so they can “fix you” with their brand of expensive auditing. Many people would fall for this hook, line and sinker if that person felt they were in a dark spot in their life, even temporarily.
Mick Roberts says
Great point. I’m curious if anyone has ever been consistently at Tone 40 in their lives…..except LRH and DM of course……
Andrew Jackson says
I think the twin towers were a little beyond aid. The grammar and punctuation in the email however, in need of some aid I think.
Aquamarine says
Amazing. The brand is so toxic they can’t even disclose its name in promotional materials. Can’t be long now. Actually, I think its already dead. Kind of like a dead tree that yet still has green, healthy looking branches, giving it the appearance of life, but where its actually dead in its roots so that its only a matter of time before some weather force topples it.
cs says
Agreed that it is dead-ish. They’re in a death spiral. They aren’t getting any new people beyond children born into the cult. And not all the children will join staff / Sea Org, nor will all of them even consider themselves Scientologists when they grow up. Without enough people to keep the membership numbers stable, there’s no hope. Even if their name wasn’t mud and their beliefs not widely ridiculed, they’d still be a dead religion walking with the membership decline. Many Christian churches are facing a similar problem, albeit on a larger and slower scale. Few new members from the outside world and only 50% (or less) retention of children raised in the church.
L Yash says
Children BORN into the cult???….Really are Sea Org and high ranked STAFF now ALLOWED to be pregnant and have babies?????
If their membership is dwindling…the ONLY ones who will be “adding” children to the organization would HAVE to be Sea Org or High Ranking Staff since they are in to stay….MAYBE?
Hhheeellllooo Sea Org & High Ranking Staff….the time to LEAVE is NOW…..get a message to someone on the OUTSIDE….they can help you!
Cre8tivewmn says
Public have the children, some staff do too, not sea org?
L Yash says
Policy may change as LESS young people come into “the organization”….the continued influx of young people will keep tis going AND the only loyal members WOULD be the Sea Org….
Madge Filpot says
Well probably not born into the So.. but children of non SO who would be recruited into it. SO aren’t allowed to have children and there aren’t many viable married couples in the SO.
thegman77 says
And will!!!
I Yawnalot says
A modern day religion of Zombies, that eats the minds and money of their victims. For without feasting on the deceit they peddle, Scientology would not exist.
BKmole says
Good anology.
Old Surfer Dude says
They can’t even say Scientology. But, it does make sense. With their toxic, evil, forced abortions, slave labor / re-education camps, money grubbing, family destroying, public schools infiltrating agenda, they can’t even whisper Scientology.
I Yawnalot says
All this silence from the “masters & cause” over words.
Doth thu owest the greatest of repugnance to the ability to sit silently amidst thee onslaught on thou own truth being shown unto yee. (Just trying to sound all religious like).
Aquamarine says
“…toxic, evil, forced abortions, slave labor / re-education camps, money grubbing, family destroying, public schools infiltrating agenda…”
OSD, please be fair and balanced and mention some of the bad stuff too, OK?
George M. White says
When I was Dianetic auditor in training, I recall having a number of sessions with about a dozen people. For the most part, these people were pleased with the free basic auditing. Hubbard had developed a way to talk to these people with an e-meter and they responded by always asking for more. Sometimes the Reg’s would convince me to do more sessions which I was reluctant to do.
But auditing got expensive and scarce for these people. Even the training route got clogged with endless paperwork and strange drills.
It was the same pattern with Scientology. People enjoyed the low cost initial programs and got a lot out of them. People were proud to graduate. But then the courses got expensive and most were truncated or chopped into 10 more expensive pieces. It was
like trying to by a car one part at a time. The cost ends in the millions.
As time progressed, Hubbard just got more and more complex. He kept changing things and increasing prices. The more complex he got, the less effective he became. The end for me was his insanity on the OT VIII course on the Freewinds in 1988. Now he reverses himself one final time and says “I forgot to tell you to audit the GE. Go back and get it done. I’m master of the Universe now so don’t bother me with questions.”
“By the way, I’m a melded being now incorporating attributes from Buddha, Brahma, Siva, Moses, and Attilla the Hun. Get over it. Go back to nothing. Find the no-location that I talked about and start over with OT-TR0. ”
Yes, Ron we really love you now. Can I finally meditate?
Victor says
So true about low cost and initial programs, 90% of useful stuff and 80% of wins I had from first 20% money invested in scn.
George M. White says
My percentages were about the same. I was able to make it to OT III for a fraction of the cost in the late 1970’s. From that point in time, I was willing to pay the higher prices because I thought the end was in sight. But this never happened. It became clear that Scientology was going in circles. I know people in Scientology who are making it to OT VIII after almost 50 years of struggle and high prices. They attain a version of OT VIII which is more like a review than a level. But the way Scientology is structured there can never be an ending except on the theoretical level. How convenient that the need for money never stops for the member.
Brian says
George says:
“I’m master of the Universe now so don’t bother me with questions.”
Ha ha ha lol! That sums it up. And if you doubt and have questions; you get defined in the catagory of Pretty Boy Floyd, the scum of society.
I think Hubbard equated evil with scrutinizing him and Scientology because he wanted us to hate those SPs who dared question him.
By making criticism and scrutiny an evil trait, Ron hypnotized us with a his diabolical command of language and human values.
Making the critic an SP bought him time in his power game. By the time we all knew what was going on; he died.
Ron’s criticism doctrine was a sly and cunning psycho manipulation that created an army of minions to crush all those intersected in seeing Ron and Scientology for what it was;
A fraud and con game whose goal was wealth for himself while Sea Org lived like slaves.
Slaves…….mmmmmm……… making men slaves was one of Ron’s affirmations.
Huh! Scientology does work!
George M. White says
“By making criticism and scrutiny an evil trait, Ron hypnotized us with a his diabolical command of language and human values.”
Great insight on this on, Bro.
It is amazing that I made it in Scientology to the OT levels because I never really bought into this guy 100%. All the questions about him either did not read or were missed by the auditor. I think I missed my profession in that I would have made a great FBI or CIA undercover agent. It gets me to thinking about why I even took the time and the money to follow him. Paulette Cooper once said to me in an e-mail “You just wanted to get laid. That was Scientology.”
One of Hubbard’s Affirmations that you posted had to do with his intent to command words. There are a few of his early lectures in the 1950’s where I would suspect that he used some sort of drug before speaking. Something as powerful as Cocaine. The Lecture Series on “Theta Line” comes to mind.
But Hubbard did push his viewpoint beyond normal logic with his use of words.
So he did hypnotize us. If you extend these points, it is then easy to see Hubbard crowning himself as master of the universe. That is what he wanted and he took his own words as reality. In the end, he just needed to say it or write it into OT VIII. His life ends in a “prison of belief” as Lawrence wrote.
Keeping away those in a group with criticism is an hypnotic technique used today at the Florida State Fair every season. Hubbard wanted to dominate. I allowed it for a short time, but it was very costly.
Brian says
I’m still waking up from assumed mental imprints, become the subconscious.
For me it was 11 years of repetitive Scientology study, thinking, socializing, auditing…………LIVING!!.
Our thinking creates grooves in the brain. We train our brain through repetition. 10-20-30 years of Scientology thinkingis not gotten rid of in a day.
That shit is in there spring loaded to react.
E.g.
There are some who post who still cannot stand L Ron Hubbard being criticized. They go completely ad hominem on people. They even blame people for using hominem while they are using ad hominem.
The only thing I can think of is that the auditing question,”have you ever had a critical thought of L Ron Hubbard?” Is still roaming in their subconscious.
L Ron Hubbard made demons, evil people out of critics. After training the mind and brain to hate critics for decades, these poor people are still under the influence of the hypnotic command that ALL CRITICS ARE CRIMINAL.
All critics are criminal is an absurd concept. Ron knew this was not true.
RON USED YOUR TRUST AND BELIEF IN HIM. HE MADE YOU THINK THAT ANYONE WHO WAS CRITICAL OF L RON HUBBARD WAS AN SP EVIL PERSON.
THAT CREATED FOR RON AN ALMOST IMPENETRABLE BARRIER BETWEEN HIMSELF AND HIS CRITICS.
KILLING OFF CRITICS MEANS THAT RON DOES NOT HAVE TO ANSWER FOR HIS FALSE CLAIMS. WE BECAME HIS ENFORCERS.
RON KNEW THAT HE DID NOT RESEARCH CRITICS. RON KNEW IT WASN’T A TECHNICAL FACT THAT ALL CRITICS HAVE CRIMINAL PASTS. THAT’S ABSURD. RON IS NOT STUPID. HE KNEW THERE WAS NO ABSOLUTES IN THE MEST UNIVERSE.
Ok, so why did he create this doctrine. This manipulating and soul destroying doctrine? Knowing full well that it was and could not be true.
HE CREATED THIS DOCTRINE TO KEEP HIS LIES HIDDEN SO HE COULD CASH IN ON THE MESSIAH GAME.
HIDDEN BECAUSE WE, THE SCIENTOLOGISTS, WOULD FIGHT TO KEEP THE TRUTH OF RON A MORTAL SIN.
He was so good at it, he created an institution with rules and regulations of operation: THE GO AND OSA
Brian says
L Ron Hubbard was in hiding. Why do people hide?
PeaceMaker says
I wonder if this is a sign of a SuMP-era re-branding or re-messaging effort, or it’s just a local attempt to try to work around the toxic name, like the Craigslist “life improvement” style ads.
Serge (Sergei?), apparently not quite having a mastery of the English language, probably isn’t the best one to be communicating with the public.
I think that est and Landmark are a potentially interesting example of an organization that tried to accomplish some of the same things as Dianetics and Scientology, while minimizing the costs (both financial, and time/life) and improving up on the approaches of the time (not just Hubbard’s) including learning from others’ mistakes, and adapting themselves. They’ve also claimed that some of their problems came from an organized attack by Scientology, which seems plausible. I don’t know enough to say for certain about their organizational history, but I think they unfairly get tarred as mere “squirrels” of Scientology by ex-scientologists, when there seems to be a lot more to both their origins and the approach they’ve taken.
Espiando says
It’s no coincidence that these sound like the “life improvement” Craigslist ads. This spam was written exactly like the ads that flooded Craigslist a few years ago for Clear Body, Clear Mind, which, apparently, they thought was the gateway to the cha-ching that is the Putrif. This spam is them “learning their lesson” from that failure.
The lesson that they took away from that debacle wasn’t that the Red X Brigade would find them wherever they posted and drive them off of Craigslist with swords of fire. It was that Red X couldn’t drive them away from e-mail, and that Clear Body, Clear Mind wasn’t enough of an attraction to get people into the missions, so go directly for the Putrif and cut out the middleman.
If you’re getting e-mails like this in your inbox, collect them, including the IP addresses that they came from. Get enough of them, and provide them to your local federal authority for violating the CAN-SPAM Act.
Wryturman says
I did the original EST 2 weekend Training and some of its other workshops/programs in the mid-80’s, a few years before it became The Forum. My “hands-on” experience with EST was mostly beneficial and certainly far less costly than Co$. I was led to believe that Werner Erhard incorporating some of the Reactive Mind/Experiential concepts used in Co$ auditing and other processes caused quite a Co$ Fair Game Op against him.
As a “never-in” but an avid reader/listener/watcher to the vast ex-Co$ information & media, I think EST’s primary similarity w/Co$ would be the staffer’s pressure to enroll others, EST staffers being fairly persistent, “you need to be at cause with your considerations about your friend doing the Training,” but hardly the hyper Co$ staff money-bombing attack: “you must bankrupt yourself, sign away your life, do anything to pay for our neverending courses/upgrades/levels et al” in order for me to meet my quota and avoid The Hole.
We EST participants had many debates with staff on the enrollment policy, like the following: “the friend I brought to my Training Graduation was considering registering until 3 staff members surrounded him and began berating him with ‘why don’t you want a breakthrough!?'” Even though EST Workshops/Seminars were relatively affordable (I recall the most expensive one, The 6-Day Workshop, was around $2,000 or so, including dorm housing & meals), I think the media scandal-fest about Werner and the continuing enrollment pressure led to the ultimate demise of something that gave me at least the beginnings of a perceptive opening, i.e., “That which I think I’m thinking is that which is thinking me.” I put it this way for both: “When good tech goes bad….”
McCarran says
“Why Hide Scientology?”
“Cuz those damn SP’s Mike Rinder and Leah have given it a bad name. Leah is getting wogs to listen to her! And you know Wogs; their tone levels are so low they just love rumors and gossip and listening to celebrities. But its all LIES! LIES I TELL YOU! She’s just doing it for the money but people are believing her! I’m having a helluva time getting ANYONE to come in.
“Now I have to hide that I AM a scientologist. Hopefully once people come into the mission and see it’s scientology, I will have convinced them by applying my TR’s and ARC that they have a ruin and how great our sweat-out-toxins-from-your-fat program is.
“LEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!”
Doug Parent says
I know you are being facetious but I can’t resist being a nerd about your comment and pointing out that Mike and Leah had nothing to do with giving Scientology a bad name. While I was in Scientology for over 30 years I kept my affiliation with the cult hush-hush for the most part. When it came to smearing Scientology nobody could beat Hubbard based on the whacko factor in it’s DNA.
McCarran says
Yes. I agree. Mike and Leah are just the church’ s latest scapegoats.
SadStateofAffairs says
Hiding the fact that it is Scientology is stupid anyways. If the recipient of the email is interested and comes to the Mission they will find out soon enough. Or maybe the Mission staff think that all they would need to do if the person shows up is tell them everything he has heard about Scientology consists of lies from embittered apostates and the prospect will just go “of course” and sign right up? Seriously what are the chances that hiding the Scientology name will lead to sign ups?
Aquamarine says
SSOA, I think they think that they have to do SOMETHING on their post and they can’t risk having their seniors or fellow staff members think of them as having bought into the Black PR, as having gone into agreement with it, so they send off a letters like this with the concept of one of them reaching someone, somehow, so that someone, somewhere actually comes in.
Harpoona Frittata says
In keeping with the theme of your thetariffic screen name, I just gotta ask: What’s next for this menacing pariah of a space alien cult in its race to the bottom? My bet is that lil davey is going to branch out into funeral services…I mean, doesn’t he already look and dress the part?
Aquamarine says
Ha ha ha! Yes, he does look and dress just like a funeral director! And that unctuous manner he has while speaking at events – very funereal!
Cynthia Ejiogu says
Mike keep up the good work! I am looking forward to you and Leah doing more episodes of your show! I am happy that the world is learning the truth now. I was lucky that my father taught me about it when I was very young or I could have ended up in the Sea Org in my freshman year of college!
Aquamarine says
Talk about dodging a bullet, Cynthia; you dodged a tomahawk missile. Kudos to your smart father.
jim says
Rhetorical question , but worth answering.
“By their actions you shall know them’ seems to fit the condition. They omit (deny) the words Scientology and Narconon for the simple reason that they are ‘in hiding’. Per Hubbard’s emotional and awareness scales that puts them below death. Death is at 0.0 on Hubbard’s scales, and hiding is at -8.0. They have a ways to go to uncausing (-40), and further yet to vanish (-800), but the trend is there and the universe is moving inexorably to the conclusion that Scientology the church and Narconon the fraudulent detox program are in a death spiral. Nowdays they are just going through the motions, but so does a ‘dead man walking’.
bixntram says
The height of hypocrisy: ‘hiding’ is -8.0 on the tone scale – where Hubbard spent his final years – not to mention that the whole impetus for his going to sea was to hide from various authorities.
Mick Roberts says
So this organization is getting reduced to a point where they can no longer proudly proclaim their “religious beliefs”. They now have to use buzz words to hopefully entice some folks who have yet to hear about their nefarious history to walk through their doors. It would appear as though they’re even ashamed of themselves these days.
Miscavige, go ahead and blame the “bitter apostates” all you want for the notorious reputation of your “church”. It’s obvious to any rational observer that you refuse to take accountability for your own actions and only wish to blame others for how your “religion” is perceived by others. It’s even more obvious that there’s an extremely high level of truth to the allegations of abuse and manipulation within your organization, mostly due to the fact that you only seem to be able to respond to your critics by launching personal attacks against them instead of responding to the actual allegations.
You have no one to blame but yourself for the current reputation of yourself and your organization. You brought this upon yourself unconditionally, and you own 100% of the responsibility for your disastrous reputation.
Hopefully more and more of your “parishioners” will begin to recognize that indisputable fact.
I Yawnalot says
The Scientology brand is uniquely toxic that even the lowly org workers are ashamed to mention the name of their profession directly. They haven’t a clue what to do and can’t see that the Hubbard, now Miscavige playbook is a bunk. In a twisted sort of a way it’s got some similarities to how a lot of Vietnam Vets back in the day withdrew into themselves and hid from the public as they couldn’t understand the public opinion against them. They were just doing their duty but public opinion against the war developed into some pretty ugly scenes. Luckily that has changed for the better and they are now honored as Veterans serving their countries but with Scientologists it’s a whole other matter. They are extremely criminal at the top of the organisation. How the lowly Org worker is attempting to cope is a tragic and sad affair. Their lives are being ruined by an incredibly toxic & greedy lie factory above them.
The sooner that organisation is officially seen for what it truly is the better. I’ve mentioned it a few times recently but it needs to happen – Miscavige really needs to be arrested! The sooner the better. I think it’s a matter of cutting off the snake’s head with Scientology and the whole organisation will implode. It may or may not go smoothly but with Miscavige gone, a whole lot of people are going to feel a whole lot better!
Aquamarine says
Nails on heads all over the place, Yawn. I’ve checked out the Facebook pages of a number of “lowly org workers” and not one of them – NOT ONE of them, states that they work for the Church of Scientology. Some of these people have been on staff for 20-30 years and then some. Amazing. Obviously, they’re ashamed to have their real vocations out there.
kengullette says
Serge not only needs to man up to Scientology, he also, needs, to learn how, to use, commas, properly.
Idle Morgue says
I just called Narconon and asked about a drug rehab program for my daughter – told the lady I found them on the internet.
The lady claimed THEY get a 84% recovery rate and that other rehab centers only get a 5% recovery rate.
The woman said “Toxins and DRUGS store in the fat and later are released causing mental issues”
I asked her where she got this information? She told me L Ron Hubbard. I asked what his credentials are – that information is simply not true. and she could find out about it by talking to a toxicologist.
She told me he codified it and the information is in the Blue Volumns of the Research and Development books he wrote.
I told her to ask 3 toxicoligists if this is true and that she had been bamboozled.
She hung up the phone on me…
Oh well, I tried to “help” but those Scientologist’s know everything.
L Yash says
NO you didn’t.!!!!!…hahaha…LMAO…now THAT is beyond funny giving her unsolicited advice to a know it all!
Scientology HIDING????….IN PLAIN SIGHT…..once someone walks through the door asking about their brand of “rehab”……….and they start placing the CO$ Nails in Your Coffin…..well….get the HELL out the door as fast as you can….
Myrklix says
Wow, going to their website, southcoastmission.com, and clicking around, there is also absolutely no mention of scientology. On the Personality Test page there is an image of an OCA graph but that’s about it. Talk about hiding one’s identity!
costermonger says
Thanks for the link, Myrklix. The southcoastmission.com site is committed to their deception, I’ll give them that!
I found this particularly rich, regarding when people should seek help for depression: “You Find It Hard To Connect With Friends Or Family.”
