The address is 925 Bethel Street according to my sources. Please post what you find on the property records. Thanks!

Duped-Lie-Cated, thanks for that info about Hawaii. Do you have an address or anything?

Scientology has played bait-and-switch so many times, that I wouldn’t believe that a building has actually been purchased, unless there’s an address that can be checked against property records.

And of course some of these SFOs have been “in the process of fundraising for renovations” for almost 2 decades now, so even having bought a building doesn’t necessarily mean an “ideal” org opening anytime soon.

Hawaii has purchased a building with the help from outside Scientologist flown in for the numerous fundraising events. Kelly Preston and John Travolta were key players in this endeavor. The building is featured on one of the promo pieces on this site.

They are in the process of fundraising for the renovations before they can move in.

“they defanged the OT levels”

Dude, seek mental help FAST!

Telepathic influence may possibly be a factor in audited processes such as the grades, power, sec checking etc. but OT3 is solo audited, that is all by one’s lonesome.
The idea is that the auditor makes telepathic contact with the entity that reads and uses telepathy to conceptualize the incident that one leads the supposed entity through. They used to have the PC, I say PC even though he’s supposedly clear by this point but no one has ever achieved that, do OT7 which on the old OT levels was about intention, so that he could do OT3 more effectively. It was called OT3expanded, but they defanged the OT levels by making them all about negative gain in scurrying the bats in one’s belfry out and about, supposedly disburdening one to the point where he could reach actual OT states. Just that it didn’t work..

“Viable alternative explanations” is the INTENT. If someone derived a benefit from Buddhism, he’ll be convinced it’s only some placebo effect. Actual benefits a person believes he received will be promptly invalidated in the same manner. Anti-Christian blogs run the same gambit — alternate explanations, placebo effects, suggesting the person is delusional, ad infinitum.

It all adds up to the same thing – if someone states XYZ practice gives him a benefit, it’ll be promptly invalidated by those who oppose said practice. You are an intelligent person, it doesn’t take a long mental leap of reason to spot the obvious.

Glenn, you might be interested in this interview with Jason Beghe. It sounds like he has had a very similar experience as well…

Formost, it seems to me Wynski is merely pointing out a viable alternative explanation regarding Joe’s experience with scientology counseling and training. The placebo effect is a perfectly valid explanation. It is also a fact that ‘other practices’ could also produce similar results. Joe has been around long enough to know what’s what and resilient enough to withstand any invalidation as well as a few slings and arrows. Especially if his gains came about as he claims.
