Do Scientology's new buildings really signal expansion?

FoTi,

I agree,this all happened after the "Source of all in this Universe" died or was murdered.

I guess DM is taking the Theta-MEST theory to a new level.

Something that is baffling to me still is that people make "pure donations" rather than buy services. I just dont get it.

 

[Stan D'Teque]

It's not that people make donations rather than buy services; it's that Co$ solicits pure donations instead of selling services because it takes trained staff to deliver services and people can still refund or get repayments. If it's a "pure" donation, you just need people to collect the money. It's actually far more economical to run the Co$ that way. The only problem is how to keep people paying. It's in an issue called "Handling the Dangerous Environment" by Hubbard where he says if you make the environment dangerous, people pay to find out about it as in buying newspapers. Well, Co$ does the same by saying "We need $s so the evil psychs/anons/press/commies/gays/drug companies/killer sharks don't wreck this planet and your eternity - pay up to buy this building/membership/status/piece of blue sky."

Very good point Mr. D'Teque!

Excellent point, Stan!
Furthermore, has anyone else noticed how many scn'ist have failed to progress further on the "Bridge To Total Freedom" because all their money is being sucked up by these Scampires?
I seem to recall something about "preventing others from progressing up the Bridge" as being the ultimate Suppressive Act in scientology.

The Blue Buildings were purchased, then Clearwater properties obtained - long before Miscavige. De facto slave labor - including child labor - was used to renovate both properties. It wasn't real estate speculation, Miscavige-style, but is it something to fondly reminisce about?

The early portion - up to 2:05 of this video provides a glimpse of pre-Miscavige reality with regard to Scientology's Hubbard supervised criminal activities.

Miscavige was 5 years old when Hubbard wrote the Fair Game Law.

Probably, some time in the mid 1980s, as Miscavige assimilated his own experiences as a Scientology insider, it would have become obvious to him that there was no Bridge, at which point he could have decided to come clean and say so to the faithful; or he could have decided to use the faithful, and continue in the role of dictator to the Scientologists, Scientologists marching onward towards a non-existent Scientological "Total Freedom."

Yep, Ron set it up for a wacko to take over. And he set it up to fail, not allowing any change of policy. They're doomed and it's all in his own writing.

The SO mission that was sent in to renovate "Big Blue" (was that Wayne Marple as Mission I\C?) conveniently labeled many many staff as "List 1 R\S'ers"
(manifested an evil purpose on LRH or the church) and were sent to the RPF.
They were then used as a slave labor pool. It was only years afterward that some of the people involved found out that they in fact had not R\S'ed at all.

Evil cult is evil.
