We’re dipping into the Scientology social media stream again, bringing you communications that Scientologists are sending to each other, so we can get another glimpse of how things are going in David Miscavige’s fun house.
Now that orgs have been opening up again, Scientologists are doing their best to encourage each other with their “wins.” The success stories just keep coming!

The campaign that wasn’t
We hope that Brad Parscale gets the treatment he needs after the scary scene yesterday when the former Trump campaign manager barricaded himself in his Fort Lauderdale home and apparently threatened to harm himself. Police managed to talk him down enough to take him into their custody and get him to a hospital.
Just a few days ago, we received this video from one of our tipsters, and we offer it as a cautionary tale: If you’re spending time with Scientology’s professional ham hock Grant Cardone, you might be on the wrong path in life…

Biggest little org in the world
One of our readers snapped this shot of the storefront mission in Reno, Nevada, which calls itself the “Mission of Sierra Nevada.”
Looks about as busy as the rest.

“The faults I find with Scientologists is they very often will see somebody fall on his head, get run over by a truck, and do some kind of a light touch assist and say ‘That’s that.’ And then wonder why the guy is limping. And then they sort of say, ‘Scientology doesn’t work.’ Man, I’ve got a word for you. That auditor is afraid of work. Do you see?” — L. Ron Hubbard, September 28, 1968

“I was always aghast at many Scientologists’ willingness to accept verbal tech and policy or the staff’s willingness to follow illegal orders. Most ‘Scientologists’ including many ‘OTs’ are untrained morons and thus are vacuums for verbal tech and policy and false data. Most staff these days haven’t even completed Staff Status II, never mind any actual hatting. Then of course there is what they call ‘Instant Hatting’ which was supposed to be a temporary solution but has become an excuse for verbal policy and tech. Worse there is false tech and policy included like GAT and such things as ‘Message to Garcia’ and so called ‘SRAs’ and what are called ‘Seances’ which are straight out of Communist China’s Cultural Revolution and what was called Brain Washing.”
