Scientology quietly acquires $13.5 million converted church near Big Blue: But why?

[La La Lou Lou]

..
LOL!!!

Beyond cringey!

With extreme difficulty, I successfully made it as far as 42 seconds before feeling my life force flooding out of me and had to violently slam the pause button before lapsing into full scale anaten. Do I win a bowling trophy or at least a lapel pin?

..

Well done, you did better than me!

LOL LOL LOL

New standby plan--in case the feds have discovered and already blocked off the tunnel egress. . .

To successfully make the hazardous escape from Big Blue to the new church safe-house, Minister Miscavige simply exits the back door in a homeless disguise and walks the two blocks. A little trick he learned from Ron's estranged evil twin Don Hubbard.

With the help of a Hollywood makeup artist, Minister Miscavige goes
on the lam with an all-new beingness and street-name ("Freddy Fabian").
​

Nobody would ever suspect it's COB! And while en route to his new hideout, he could possibly pick up some serendipitous donations to help make planetary clearing a reality!

CONFESSION: I have a withhold. My 42 second stat is a false report. I was scanning fast forward during that part to get to where the vocals came in. Morbid curiosity, right? I only lasted about 7 words into that section.

I don't think this was bought with the idea of future consolidation, Scientology doesn't think like that. They are going to expand and rule the world, it is inevitable.

i think it at least works towards making Big Blue and the area around it a sort of bastion in LA -- which ultimately will suit the consolidation they're going to be forced into at some point, even if it's still well in the future.

the article i linked to earlier listed 16 properties. this and others cite 26 as a number -- and i bet they are missing at least a few:

Take a tour of Scientology's massive Los Angeles real-estate empire

It's reportedly worth as much as $400 million.

but at what point do they have to deal with the reality of having very few staff for a significant number of relatively large buildings -- to the point that even mundane things like maintenance become problems? i suppose all but shutting down int base and moving staff into town may have bought them some time, but with say a thousand sea org in LA that's 40 per building when just the first floors of some of their properties were intended for more workers than that. then again i expect that towards the end of DM's reign ideal orgs will end up with skeleton staffs and maybe some 'wog' contractors, and most of the space effectively mothballed, in order to keep up appearances and the illusion of 'expansion' -- so that could happen with management buildings in LA, any real reckoning not coming until after he's shuffled off the stage.

Maybe a Tunnel Project to connect them all together underground....coming in the future?

Good post....but I have to take exception to your take on Scientology using the Christian Religion and their words.

Whether or not the Christian style building had anything to do with the purchase or not.....Scientology has had a massive increase in the use of Christian nomenclature in the past several decades....IMO.

Words like Cathedral.....and Scriptures....and even calling DM the Pope......have made there way into News Articles.... Not to mention their long standing use of a Catholic Cross.

As is the Cult using Religion angles in Court Cases?

Sure lots of it is Media's lack of understanding about Scientology.

I came to the realization the other day while watching a bit of a Mormon apostate talk on YouTube.
Every Religion has their own words......that mean very specific things.....that might be the same as an English Word....but hold entirely different meaning....used by that religion.

Scientology is notorious for this. They just take a simple English Word....and add their own meaning to it....which for a non-scientologist would confuse the hell out of them. The true Scientology meaning would be completely lost or buried....to the general pubic...or Judge.

So, why not take an entire Christian Church Building.....and slap a big Scientology Sign on it.....right on Sunset Blvd?
This is a major Gaslight.....

There have been several threads here about the Scientology Cross...being some sort of Majic symbol.....and that British whats his name guy....

But....their can be no doubt that Hubbard himself described and told the story about how that Cross came into being for the Cult on a Taped Lecture..... And from that information....there can be no doubt that it is an old Spanish Catholic Cross...from a Spanish Mission in the old Southwest.

Whether this is a true Hubbard tale or not.....this is in the Scriptures...

Modifying language is part of the typical cult SOP 101.
It's designed to help make you feel part of an exclusive community and to make you feel over and above those around you that aren't part of your group.

Unless you feel important or kind of special, there isn't much point in belonging to it.

Pursuant to my contractual duties as COB's strategic advisor, I have already submitted to him a contingency plan that covers the scenario you have highlighted above.

PLAN: In addition to a day org and foundation org, simply set up a third (all-nighter) dogwatch org within each Ideal building. No sleep for staff until the org reaches the white-glove maintenance standards of Old Saint Apollo.

Yeah, it could be used towards creating "fortress LA" in addition to "fortress CW" so I agree with you on that. Of course this is expansion, not contraction. Any Scientologist could tell you that shutting outlying orgs and making a big super org is a definite sign of imminent victory.

I like where you're going, we could give it a different name though... If such an org/shift were to exist we could call it something like "Flag Crew"
