Over the last few days, the results of Australia’s latest census have been rolling out, and naturally our readers have been very curious about one number in that mass of data: How many Scientologists are left in what was once one of the church’s mainstays around the world?
Did a dingo eat your clams? I am only slightly surprised that OZ lost a few $cientologist. Loosing only 26 'members' could just be the old ones dying off and not being replaced. I am more surprised that the 'advanced mOrg' staff didn't make up the loses. Statistically, these numbers are too small to work with. How long can Taiwan keep that AO working? Just working, not a profit center or anything that actually 'flows' money 'uplines'.
Valerie has proven once again that arbitration laws need reworking in the case of $cieno 'arbitration'. Until a higher court boils the clam, that excremental 'sacrament' will continue. If you want to leave the Clampire, just slip out the back Jack and don't come back to 'route out' officially or sign anything besides a letter quitting the Clampire. 'Arbitration' hell is no place to be.
Good work Tony - I was one of those who tried to find the number through the ABS and found it too difficult to find. I must admit I thought they would drop further than a mere 26, I guess the plateau is due to the damage already done by the time the previous census was performed. It appears that the ones who are in now are the die hards that will not be swayed and all the fence sitters have been eliminated. Hard to see substantial growth in the movement in Australia in this day and age (although whenever i drive past the Melbourne org it appears to be doing ok) but at the same time it seems to be dying a very slow and prolonged death.

If Scientology builds it, they won't come.
