"If you want this planet to be salvaged and not go into the Dark Ages again — as it is going that direction right now — get really serious and knowledgeable about what the IAS makes possible."

If thats the direction it is going right now, what the heck have these people been doing all these years?!?!?

I was just coming here to say basically that! They keep telling members all these amazing (and false) stats about all the good they are doing, and all this expansion, and all these Ideal orgs, but also we are headed back to the dark ages?

Scientologists: Which is true?

Cue takedown notice in 3..2..1 for the photos. Hope you have bowling trophies ready.

The IRS and/or FBI really needs to take note. These are some mighty huge numbers being bandied around for a tax exempt organization. What are they being used for? Really. Why is this being allowed? Why are Norm and Terri Novitski throwing away $11+ million? Who is being helped by this? Where did Trish Duggar’s half a BILLION dollars go? She jailed an investor for what, in her world, is pocket change. Yet she lets half a billion dollars just go unaccounted for.

I was numb to these numbers for some time, now they anger me again. Alex and crew will be protesting the party they throw for these dupes in just over two weeks. Some of the money they “donate” is being used to bribe government officials to try to stop freedom of speech. The money they spend will be used to keep them imprisoned.

No party will save them. The gala is just another classist way of having overworked Sea Org staff cater to a select few who for some reason still throw their money at Miscavige. I hope the peaceful protest shows at least the East Grinstead Council that they are being duped.

I only recognized one couple, Norm & Terri Novitsky who I knew. Quite a number of illustrious idiots. They are keeping the cult alive. No org is supporting itself with fresh meat or old public swarming in to get services. The term enabler applies to these people. They are as culpable as the the SO zealots.

Scientology's fundraising successes I wonder if it attracts interest from other fundraising higher merit organizations.

All these million dollar donors are cumulative donations, and that fact of making it all public, is something that I doubt other actually worthy organizations parade their donors in their organization magazines/promo.

Scientology is so oddly upfront on things like their big donors.

They are willing to tell how much they've donated, cumulatively, to the Scientology association, but they can't say Xenu nor body-thetans publicly.

"I bet you can't say Xenu even for a million bucks!"

Questions: Are these donors responsible for their own photos or does Scientology have photographers in main areas? Do they give them guidelines? Does someone have to approve them? I am so curious about how the decisions are made.
