Ya, most of the blatant insanity was only issued to SO higher staff. GO also. Wait a minute. I think the welfare for Class IV org staff was actually in PL form in one of the Green Vols of antiquity. He of course justified it because greatest good for greatest number of Hubbard’s bank accounts, etc.

These stained glass windows were beautiful, depicting the life of Jesus…….they were quite large & heavy set into a concrete block wall…light tanish colored brick on the outside of the church. They’d surely take down a plaster wall or sheet rocked wall!
At the very bottom of each stained glass pieces were “donated in memory of”…some had the name of the donator as in “smith family”

There were quite a few of them…the church was in an “L” configuration with the same type windows in the “candle stand area”…the “narthex” etc….. It was sad to see the former building totally demolished. I stopped by and got one brick from the demolition crew before they were all hauled away.

IF someone had a place to put in a window of this nature…that would be nice…but when they sold & moved…hmmm…who’d want a window with someone else’s name of it!

That is some story, Balletlady! Mildly comforting to know that other religions are obsessed with buildings besides Co$.

Now, if I had a stained glass window emblazoned with a cherished and much missed loved one’s name, I’d put it right up on my living room wall. Seriously. Right over my couch. Very cool.

But then, I’m not normal 🙂

Balletlady, as a never-in, you have a true understanding of the international criminal enterprise that those still in can’t allow themselves to glimpse.

LmR observed:
“If family isn’t family it becomes the Way to Hopeless.”

Fantastic way to put it.

Right, JJ:

scientology enterprises can run for a year or more on the government PPP “loans”. Then they’ll blithely skip out on paying those *loans* back, considering them just and right “donations” from the government in exchange for all the “good” scientology does. All that, AND they pay no taxes by asserting they are “churches”.

Talk about low-toned DB freeloaders! ,,,, but they’ll never change, of course.

Skyler suggested:
“I would really like to explore the possibility of having a party where we could all celebrate.”

Isn’t that a purpose of Howdycon?

LmR, weasel words like that are part of scientology’s necessary foundation of essential lies. “Well, we DID say ‘try’.” That allows them to continually fail to achieve those aspirations without consequence ( so they THINK.)

Wow…wow. I’d love to get my hands on some of those “Advices” or FOs or whatever they were called. Hubbard ordering Cl V staff and mission staff to go on welfare…wow. I thought I was shockproof.
