Melbourne Foundation Newsletter - Issue 62, July 5 2012
14 bridge steps in the last 60 days? Why am I not impressed at all about this?
What happened to the 'flood' of TRs & Objectives completion that was lauded in previous newsletters (only 4???) ? What about all those purif completions (only 3???) ?
Of course I have little concept of what is actual 'good' production for a Class V org, but really this boastful crowing about 14 completions just seem rubbish. Good luck clearing the planet...

Melbourne Saint Hill Size Newsletter (quietly renamed to 'recruitment newsflash' as they have no hope of going saint hill size)
ANOTHER person joins staff and ANOTHER person leaves (implicitly). I cannot stress this enough, this is absolutely ridiculous staff turnover. And they are now so desperate for staff they appear to be pinching recruits from right under Sydney Org's nose!!!

Despite having a dozen or so SO now stationed in Melbourne (including Snr HCO working full-time on recruiting for Melbourne) they can't crack the 110 mark
Shrinking much, cult? No matter how much "Command Intention" tells you to make Melbourne work, it isn't going to happen.
Three Taiwanese bridge completions - they wouldn't be CLO crew stationed in Melbourne by any chance?![]()

If he has no friends and everyone's against him
If he's failed in everything that he has tried
Try to lift his load, help to bear his burden
Let him know that you are walking by his side
And if he feels that all is lost and he is fallen
Try to place that poor man's feet on solid ground
Just remember he's some mother's precious darlin'
Always lift him up and never knock him down

Yep, all that long-hoped-for expansion, all those dreams of a truly ideal org, all that time, money, blood, sweat and tears and it's just not happening.
It's amazing how long it takes some people to see that.
I've said it here on ESMB several times before but, just for fun, I'll say it again;
I think John Duignan said it best in his book, The Complex.
On page 164, discussing the Hubbard method of statistical management of the CofS he says,
"Despite the Founder's insistence that an accurate statistical analysis would solve all the organisational problems and cause a huge boom in income and delivery, the real reason these little churches remained impoverished was simply that the general public did not, never had and never would like Scientology."
I think that is as good as it gets in terms of explaining these things.![]()

I have posted this promo before, but I got it again and it is definetly worth reposting given the furore over the TomKat divorce.

Oh good grief... they even pulled Virginia Stewart out for this one, extolling how regging people for staff is magically going to 'turn the tide of suppression'
I like how they are seated dining style, couldn't get enough people in for regular rows of seats?
Oh, and I almost missed this beauty:
"Following them were further performances which were simply from that time and age where anything went."
LOL
Disgusting.
It sounds like people are starting to at least want a feed in exchange for decades of being hassled by debt collectors.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake.

I 'massively successful expansion event' were a whole 4 people signed up to be on staff!
I bet 1 will not even start another won't last the first 3 months the last two might, might make it for 2 or so years.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Jesus.

Virginia's "years" on the front line have taken a toll on her - she looks shit. Even compared to her last public outing, she has aged dramatically.
And the scam continues.![]()
