well, i do admire your optimism.
Last I heard, there were 29 legal cases against Narconon going on In Vegas alone.
If legal judgments do in fact deplete reserves, THAT WOULD BE JUSTICE.
A lessor judgement would be compromise.

Yep.

agreed.
Scientology is its own problem.
And, I think it is a mistake to perceive DM as the primary perpetrator of the church’s demise,
bungling tyrant that he is, when all he really does is play by the LRH handbook.

Hi Gus Cox, Your post got lost.Just found it.Oh lord Berendo is now faux paved brick! I can’t stand it and a no parking zone.Boy are the sheeple SO and the whole gang skittish!Also just thinking way back when,Asho,AO and any other Org in the area,we would have been tasked with paying for real brick pavers and probably old timey brick artisans to lay them.
Self realization fellowship,forgot about them.To think I used to hang out on Berendo and cry my eyes out during certain sits with Ethics etc.Especially when I was not allowed to be with my SO Team.Hardly any cars passed back then and a few homeless floated by but really just Kaiser and Big Blue Building Baiting me.When you are hungry thirsty and really bruised etc BBlue was not the friendliest place in LA to have to stand in front of and do TRs on between sobs.

Use ugly stats to describe a beautiful place, and, sure enough,
that’s all you see.

Don’t worry, it will never happen.
Even he seems to know that if he personally stood up to address the public,
his invisible credibility would instantly take on that of a cartoon character.
Any book with his name pinned to it as the author would be publicly slashed.
There is not defense, none, for the remorseless crimes of David Miscavige, nor his falsely named church.

Yet, I invite him to write. That goes for all the hard-core scientologists, too, which you’ll notice also have nothing to say around here, where the truth is king instead. Please, please write.

My response would be personally exhilarating. But, you guys on the fence, you write, too. I know you have your wins, but after 30-whaatever years of abuse and not getting paid for it, wondering if you really wanted to disconnect from mom and dad, or whatever good reason, if you have a doubt or complaint about your church AT LAST you have an avenue through which to express your doubts. I know the courage it would take. Here, you would not been thrown down the well and into “Ethics”, certainly not for criticizing anything David Miscavige has said or done. Here, you would be applauded. [I DO need to spell that name out fully nowadays]
Rightly so.

unelectedfloofgoofer, as far back as the 70’s the VAST majority of orgs never made enough money to pay their staff even to the level of minimum wage. And NO org ever made enough money consistently to pay staff even minimum wage. They paid book royalties though as Hubbard had to amass wealth at the staff members expense. The only real money for the S.O. Reserves came from AO’s & the FSO and S.O. staff don’t receive “pay”.

Hi, Ann – Oh, yes, unfortunately they did change the name of that block. Worse, they paved it in faux brick and it’s all a no parking zone! I can only wonder if money changed hands to get all that approved by the City!

I’d love to see Kaiser buy the Complex and change the name back.

Or even better, if the nearby Self-Realization Fellowship bought it! LOL that’d be sweet, seeing as how they are on the Fatman’s list of “suppressive groups.”
