[Patty made a trip to Beantown for us.]
We hope you remember our podcast episode with Patty Moher, who told us about her history spying for Scientology, as well as her subsequent fun visit to Scientology’s moribund New Haven “Ideal Org” project. We had so much fun with that excursion, she went on another!

Bruno and I got up real early and drove to Boston to see how the Boston Ideal Org was doing.

In 2013, Scientology sold the Boston Org’s beautiful building at 448 Beacon Street and moved into a temporary office space in Quincy while they waited for their Ideal Org to be set up.

They had purchased the historic Hotel Alexandra five years earlier, but they eventually decided it wasn’t big enough to become “Ideal,” and in 2015 they settled for more of a business-park looking thing in Allston, a neighborhood of Boston.

It’s been sitting empty ever since.

I visited there, but let me tell you first about my visit to the temporary org, which also got moved from Quincy to Allston, and is just a mile away from the future Ideal Org at a place called Packard’s Corner.

This actually makes me feel sad for the people caught up in the Scientology staff vortex. What a depressing existence. To serve a master that chews them up and spits them out. No chance of living well, a marginal trickle of paying public to show for their efforts, so there's no sense of winning or accomplishment coming from what they can see for themselves, having to go along with the enforced attitude that their pitiable environment and existence is what they deserve for not somehow making it all much better than it is when they're doing the best they can with what they have to work with, and the stark contrast of the vision of what they were led to believe this existence would be like, and how it has turned out to be. Very sad. I saw very much the same scenario about a dozen years ago in Davis, California, when the C of S attempted to reinstate a mission where the thriving COSMOD ("Church of Scientology Mission of Davis") missions once prospered under Martin Samuel's stewardship in the 1970's, until choked out of existence in the early 1980's via the infamous "int finance police" and "mission holders conference". It was an unattractive 2nd story walk-up storefront, and there was a slovenly looking woman with curlers in her hair smoking a cigarette holding open the door with her back, with an annoyed expression on her face. Clearly she was there by herself, nobody inside, and she was tasked with manning the space for a few hours that evening so as to be able to claim that the "mission" was open and functioning at that time.
