That sounds like an “earlier, similar” for the “ideal” orgs program.

Apparently a lot of really interesting early and historical materials are going to be posted to ESMB2

My take is that Miscavige hopes to die without having had to close any orgs, which could push that out decades if he can use his cash reserves and army of lawyers to fight off the day of reckoning. Even failing businesses – take Sears, for example – often hang on far longer than might be expected, especially when they have lots of assets (retail properties, in Sears’ case), though sudden collapses can also occur.

Thanks, Peace Maker!

YES x 1000!

Yes, funny how that works. Everyone else “pulls it in” but not them! Come to think of it, nowhere in anything LRH wrote have I ever read something wherein he acknowledges “pulling something in” – possibly some humorous stuff, but never any serious stuff.

When I saw the person laying pipping, I thought about how they must be using union workers in the City of Chicago. No one messes with the unions in Chicago. It must be costing them a fortune.

Same excuse I bet, “they’re illegal pcs, so what can we do?” Always someone else’s fault. Unless you have something bad happen and then it’s your own fault for pulling it in. But never ever Scn’s fault.

Austin is one of the cases where the org is renovating their existing facility to make it “ideal” rather than buying a new one, and moved into temporary quarters in the meantime. I think San Diego may be the only other one that actually succeeded at that, while Toronto infamously moved out of their building around a decade ago but then never started work and has bounced around temporary locations ever since.

If I recall correctly, Austin moved out to that strip mall location around the beginning of last year, but then construction didn’t appear to begin for over a year, early this year. Scientology seems to do these projects on a sort of last-minute basis, and there were signs they didn’t have permitting and contractors lined up in the very busy Austin construction market, when they moved out.

The building shown in that rendering, their old one being renovated to look like that, is at 2200 Guadalupe St.

That will be good. Hopefully, lots of people will be jumping ship and gaining their freedom.
