Philadelphia freedom: Scientology proves that it never gives up on brotherly love!
Philadelphia freedom: Scientology proves that it never gives up on brotherly love!
Once again, we have to differ with all of the negativity out there being forwarded by merchants of chaos: Scientology is taking this country ideal, and Dave’s troops are on fire!
The latest evidence of this is a report out of Philadelphia, where a new Ideal Org has been in the works for years and years. But no one there has given up! Scientology forges on, people!
We think you will enjoy this report put out by the folks there, and especially with the testimonial from the couple in Florida who forked out hard-earned money for an org they will probably never set foot in! Now that’s an L. Ron Hubbard miracle, right there. (They indicate, by the way, that they have contributed “six humanitarians,” which means they have donated $600,000 to this one project.)
Please let us know what part of the flier you found most intriguing, and assess for yourself how Scientology is going gangbusters in the City of Brotherly Love!
This was something, wasn’t it?
Ideal Orgs are VERY SPECIAL — a veritable emanation point of countless prosurvival actions and combined activities of which we all share enormous pride bringing our family and friends to — a place which TRULY represents the Aims of Scientology.
Now that is Scientology fervor!

"Yes - we maintain double full-time jobs." -- them explaining how they try to afford having children (they never can spend time with), being on course, and becoming Philly 6x Humanitarians.
A few comments about this (as a former copywriter and designer):
• The photo of only four staff members tells anyone that this is not a LARGE group of dedicated people. Note that none of them titled Registrar, Receptionist, Supervisor, or Auditor, or C/S.
• The first paragraph is pure fluff (no surprise). There's no way they're "getting the entire field winning, winning, winning" when there are only four staff members and they're focused on dissemination and "manning up the org".
• The photos of the outdoor event are so tightly cropped it looks like 5 or 6 people at most. One of them must be a staff member trying to sell a book, and there had to be other staff there to handle the "floodgates".
• As noted in another comment, the "3X" and "5X" have no context, which suggests they might have had 3 people sign up for a course, and sold 5 books within a time-frame that started at the same level for each (note the "before levels" on the chart). It's safe to assume the "before" was no more than three and, most likely, 1.
• The three photos under "delivery of standard tech" are: 1) donors, 2) a "top FSM", and 3) a guy on the student hat course. So photo evidence of their "booming" is just one guy on course.
• There's a photo of only one completion, which suggests the number of public really might be three or less.
• The photos of all the donors provides a visual that suggests they are public or staff in Philadelphia — until you read the captions.
• The story of "Why We Did It" reads like a hostage plea and mentions some interesting details: the success of Ideal Orgs — and the "goal of scientology — is in terms of buildings and not public or completions. And (more importantly from a promotional standpoint) it contradicts the veiled "ideal" message of this piece by stating that the doors to the Ideal Philly Org remain closed.
Because I've had to write and design with little to go on, whoever put this piece together did their best to sell what isn't there. It's not easy, so kudos for that.
