Yesterday we told you about how excited some former Scientologists are about the return of the IAS gala and Scientology leader David Miscavige to England for festivities on the weekend of November 3 to 5 in East Grinstead.
Today we have more excitement, courtesy of the young staffers at the London Scientology ‘Ideal Org.’
We’ve noticed in the past that while Scientology staffers and Sea Org members in the US seem to grow older and older as membership dwindles, for some reason the London Org has managed to hold on to a younger set of eager recruits who do their best to give the impression that Scientology is still a going concern and even a hip pursuit.
Here they were during the pandemic, for example, making a much better showing than any of their American counterparts…
And at one time, they even took the step of posting a series of videos to YouTube which featured the eager figures of Charlie Wakley and Sandrine Mootoo, who for a time were the faces of the org…
We haven’t seen Charlie in quite a while, which we still wonder about, but Sandrine is still on the scene and she apparently got her fellow staffers to put together a video to capture just how much excitement there is about the IAS coming to town! We thought you’d like to see it. And we’re told that the older gal near the end is Charlie’s mum.

Finger-guns are so ecclesiastic. So is the narrator screaming OH MY GOD at the end of the video that seems to be demonstrating the appropriate level of fear and urgency that the IAS event should generate in everyone.
The IAS event is less than 30 days away, so why the hurry to be seat fillers? I suppose it does take a while to bike or walk to Stain Hill from London. No budget for transportation is now an IAS feature. I have to wonder if this shindig is by invitation only?
