Over the weekend, Mike Rinder at his blog suggested that recent materials put out by the Church of Scientology seemed to indicate that the Chicago ‘Ideal Org’ — which has long been finished — might be getting its grand opening this Saturday.
My daughter lived by that building for quite some time years ago when it was a library. I took photos in the early 2000s after scientology co-opted it, of homeless people sleeping in the doorways. At the time, I had no idea of its’ connection to scientology.
My daughter left Chicago 15 years ago and moved to North Carolina.
Here’s my guess: Miscavige is evading service of process, therefore the building will be opened in stealth mode. Perhaps something is hidden under the ugly flapping tarps which will come into view at 3pm Saturday but it will all be done quickly and with minimum fuss to avoid drawing attention to “he does not live or do business here Miscavige” if he in fact dares show up.
Oh the joys of being a leader “not involved in the day to day operations of the church” of scientology siphoning funds off the dwindling donations of increasingly disillusioned parishioners pretending it’s all going great guns,
'Change the World'? Why not change disconnection, harassment of SPs and financial crimes (Chase wave anyone)? Cue 10 Years after and 'I'd love to Change The World.
While living in the Windy City may be great fun and the suburbs may have great public schools, how is any staff member going to have a family and earn a decent salary? Chicago is a vibrant city, but the CO$ can't glom on to their reputation or elan. Look out Chicago college students, if Kiana is body routing, you are in for some video kiosk fun.
Aaaaaaand...yes, my princess, your art WILL get pushed to the side. Scientology actually HATES artists, all of "Source's" blathering about aesthetics and the importance of art notwithstanding. The 9th dynamic in El Schlong Conhard's "religion" isn't LOVE or PEACE or COMPASSION ; it's MONEY!
Now, if you have MONEY, then...OF COURSE! Your art is just soooooo amazing and theta!
These fucking ads are just vapid, soul-dead, and utterly futile.
Wow, what a waste of time with the video intro. Get to the testimonial. Featuring young, attractive female staff is a great ploy to get young lonely males to join staff. Am I being to cynical?
As I’ve said before, the videos are unprofessional and juvenile. SMP take heed.
All that good stuff in Chicago is completely irrelevant if you’re going to be a staff member. You wouldn’t be able to afford the money or time to experience them. It does make me quite interested in visiting Chicago though!
Jason, if she has a well-to-do family, she might, at least, eat well and live in a comfortable living space, thanks to their financial support. In my time in the cult, I saw a small contingent of second generation scientologists who could "afford to be on staff/in the Sea Org" because of the, *cough*, "theta support"(what us degraded meat-sacks call it: money) of their families...
Still, she will be allowed no time for such "dilettante-ish" activities as making art, going out to dinner, sleeping in, or taking a vacation...Those pursuits mean NADA in the face of the impending doom that she and her "elite" cohorts are fighting...
To all the people who are still in and secretly watching this, please listen to both sides of everything. That is something that Scientology will NEVER tell you to do, but everyone who speaks out will encourage you to do, which should make you wonder why that is. The Aftermath Foundation is ready to help you if you need help. The people who Scientology says are haters are loving wonderful people who want you to know the truth. Don’t be afraid to look for yourself so that you are able to make an informed decision
Oh boy, hot dogs! Where do I sign up?
Lol, IKR
I couldn’t get past the Italian stereotype scene, but I wonder if these are showing on Scientology TV.
Indeed. I was waiting to see the family chowing down on pasta and/or pizza...🤔
I’m surprised it wasn’t a clip from The Godfather.

Oh Kianna, please don't give up your career and your life. I am so sorry you were hoodwinked into this.

NO, YOU ARE NOT BEING TOO CYNICAL, GEOFF!
From tr's and tech talk...to tappin' that ass.
I may not get paid, but, yo, I'll get laid!
Thanks. You put accurately.👍🏼
I certainly saw it happen more than once...😎
I agree

I was a second-gen Class V staff member, supported by my middle-class parents. I know the drill.
Dave Chappelle voice: "WORD!" 😉😂😂😂
Which org? I was in DC...
Scientology is so transparent in their marketing.

Australian org. Not willing to reveal which one just yet.
