You are probably correct on that. The last time I set foot in Sydney Org was 1991. Rosy Lemon (nee vanderwal) was the ED Fdn and Vicki Byrnes was ED Day. I saw Pete Bevan in a Sea Org uniform. When I asked Pete how he was doing he said "Oh you know, up and down the ethics conditions." He seemed to be a crushed soul. I was taken aback by the rotten state of Rosy's teeth. I also saw Sally Chandler sitting near reception. When I asked her how she was doing she said she was waiting for Clive (Bloom?). That was a long time ago. If anyone has stories more recent I would enjoy hearing them.



Both Scooter and Panda Termit were locals.
I guess they moved onto bigger and better things.
Amir Essahli who left Edinburgh org recently spoke out about how he was made to wear black clothes, takes weights up and down stairs and hard labourNo, I've heard from too many that it really has been cancelled. It's also something they can't really hide, the whole running around in black, etc.
Don't get me wrong, it was replaced with something, but I doubt it's as stringent as the RPF was. My understanding is instead of RPFing they are more prone to offload these days.
Who knows if it will change and they bring back the RPF, I bet they will at some point, but for now it's dead.

My info is decades old, but I seem to recall some Class V execs being put through MEST-work in something reminiscent of the RPF.Amir would never be sent to the rpf anyways, he's a class v staff member.

) and went past 3 buses that had SO logo.s on them - between Dundas and Chatswood obviously. It was around 8:30 in the morning on a weekday (Friday iirc) so I'm presuming Dundas is still slowly crumbling into dust while it's being used as berthing and the minions are being bussed to and from the AOSH ANZO $million bus-stop
As a former bus driver, I noticed them immediately as they weren't in any bus company's colours that I could recognised and that's when I saw the dreaded logo on the side as they crawled thro' peak-hour traffic.Seems to be a standard response by scientology for a failing org.Gday Scoots. Very nice report TYVM. Sounds like Sydney Idea Org is an Ideal Morgue now. When we were in Lee Street there were about 70 staff Day/Fdn, not counting Sea Org, so that is a huge crash. Even when I was last in Castlereagh Street in 1991 there seemed to be about 50 staff although many more were Sea Org. Seems such a waste of space now I wouldn't be surprised if Castlereagh Street gets closed and absorbed into the AO at Chatswood.

Indeed.In Lee St. and into Castlereagh when we first moved in there were about 70 staff on Fdn. and about 130 on Day.
There was a garrison of less than a dozen who were either on Day or worked Tours Org and were mostly Day. Some others like LC, FR, etc..
The Matt Henderson mission "saved" Sydney and reduced Syd F to around 40 staff and Syd D to even less than that. Neither org ever really recovered from those days. That was early 80s.
The AO started after Henderson left (like within a few day) and picked up a lot of staff and then a lot of the public. Syd F had a brief renaissance in the 90s from Taiwan but the usual regg.ing crimes and exe. incompetence soon got rid of that. Plus the total non-delivery of the fairy tales promised.
So the org.s have been dying for a long time. Across Anzo at least, probably the world. The AO is a shadow of what it was, same with the CLO.
The Interwebs just accelerated that extinction moment
Kult is doomed by its own inertia if nothing else, despite Demented Maggot's sometimes brilliant machinations to get funds from unsuspecting marks often with more $millions than brain cells.
But it STILL inflicts pain and suffering on a LOT of good peeps, some who are just collateral damage.
And THAT is why I still occasionally help the fight to shut it down completely and permanently. I don't give a shit if Indies hold the Hubbard flag high.
I do care this evil, criminal organisation is still allowed to inflict damage on Humanity
