I agree.

However their concept of “Ideal” has become totally MEST oriented like these conceptual drawings they put in their mags of empty buildings and rooms minus people.

I used to respect Pomerantz. A Mazerati?! I seen a lot of BMW’sm, Lexis’s and the alike around here (and the usual junkers drove drove by staff and the peasant class) but a Mazerati! And those IAS “reges”.
Those clowns are using “black dianetics” to make their pitches. Masavagology at it’s best. Same with Ideal Orgs. Fat cash is being made by some of the flock

“…The only sign of terrestrial life anywhere near the place is the SRF which is just down the block on Sunset.” Yeah, and it’s a much, much nicer space. Both the physical space (it’s aesthetic and serene) and the people in it.

As for fighting for a seat on the BC, yep. And roll call took something like 15 minutes – and that was ASHO *Day.* If PAC was ever “Ideal” it was probably 30 years ago.

Straight-up gangsta, son …LA style. Representin’…..
LOL

“…magnificently impressive buildings”. Do they really have these? Sure, they’re glossy and renovated, and Flag is pretty, but frankly, no Scientology church is any kind of architectural wonder, to the degree that it would/could draw people in by the sheer dazzle of the building alone. In my opinion, Notre Dame in Paris is magnifique, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and St John the Divine in NYC impress me a lot, Westminster is awe-inspiring and there’s a mosque I visited in southern Spain which took my breath away. But the RCS’s much touted Ideal Orgs? Meh.

YEs, I’m appalled that they took money from staff and EPF. There is a reference we read on the EPF where LRH says that staff members are not to be regged for donations because they already give of their time. So they are in blatant violation of LRH policy to reg staff and EPF for money for this.

I can practically guarantee you Quinn Tauffer did NOT do KTL or LOC. They stopped delivering it before he came up the lines. I don’t think he even got much of of an education before his mother put him in the SO.

Some say the Image of Jesus was modeled on the golden statue of Zeus

Heh…”hunk of blue junk” Glad I am not the only one that feels that way! That blue is just UGLY on a building that size. Good one IM 🙂

I think they are trying to take advantage of the feeble stream of people coming back in for GATII. Coming up with a new promotion now at PAC to further drain the wallets of the faithful. This is really pathetic that people keep falling for this over and over again. It’s also really evil that the perpetrators know no limits.
