Thanks for the perspective. Even 120 has got to be a huge boost for their stats, if they’re claiming them as regular walk-ins. And apparently other orgs are on to the same artificial stat boosting scam.

I suspect the few visitors Scientology reported as being open-minded, were just being polite – and if not, they’re likely to go home, use The Google to really “find out for themselves,” get informed and become antagonistic SPs.

Good question, PM. My guess is that her husband works full time( and is no longer a registrar at the DC org),while she is with their child/children during the day and is then at the org nights and weekends. Maybe she also works from home during the day as well…That kind of dedication/delusion is standard for the true hubbardian kool aid aficionados…

Mark, what is up with her hours, does she work a 9-to-5 job to make ends meet and then spend all her evening and weekend time on staff at the org?

Scientology, the gift that keeps on taking.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, just 2 of 7 of their “African … Development Initiative” are African. And here I thought western colonialism was over with, particularly after Ron failed in his Rhodesia expansion efforts long ago. In any case it’s a bad look. But Scn clearly doesn’t recognize how inept their attempts at PR/image are. Thank god they keep doing them, makes for wonderful Thursdays on Mike’s blog.

Chicago has one musty old-school storefront org and apparently a minimal number of members who can’t raise enough money to renovate their “ideal” building, in spite of being in one of the US’ largest, wealthiest and most vibrant cities. No wonder they try to associate themselves with the wonders of the town, rather than referring to the actual state of Scientology there.

And that person looking for someone to take over for them as HGC auditor gives us some hints about staffing in the orgs: 3-1/2 hours on weeknights and 9 hours on weekend days, for a nominal total of 35-1/2 hours a week – apparently set up so that it can be done on top of a day job to actually pay the bills. But no end date is given for the substitution – her time at AOLA could be interminable, and she might fall prey to the common problem of getting ripped off from her local org to work at AOLA, so anyone who took over for her would risk being stuck indefinitely.

Rolling on the floor laughing

That’s all they have to offer? Carpet? Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Scientology is sooooo stupid!
