David Miscavige Programs
November 04, 2012    
I have toured Ideal orgs. They are all but empty, hence the name "Idle Orgs." Big beautiful expensive quarters and not enough staff to staff them and very few public in them. Of the few public in them, they are not new people at all. They are old die hard true blue Scns trying to support DM and his hobby horses. We were told that all stats go up and we get tons of new people in when Ideal Orgs are made pretty etc. That never happened and in facts stats have been falling continuously. It was a flop. But guess who benefits? David Miscavage! The parishoner's money pays for the org and the rennos so that the building is owned outright. But guess whose name is on the Deed? It is not the people who paid for it. It is David Miscavage via Landlord Int office. So if the Ideal org succeeds somehow, then DM takes credit. If it fails, and the building is facing foreclosure, DM as owner can step in and sell it and pocket the money from the sale. He is amassing tons of real estate this way. Even when his gig is up and he flees the country, he can just sell off these buildings to live off the proceeds.

Idle Orgs

I have toured Ideal orgs. They are all but empty, hence the name "Idle Orgs." Big beautiful expensive quarters and not enough staff to staff them and very few public in them. Of the few public in them, they are not new people at all. They are old die hard true blue Scns trying to support DM and his hobby horses. We were told that all stats go up and we get tons of new people in when Ideal Orgs are made pretty etc. That never happened and in facts stats have been falling continuously. It was a flop.

Independent Scientologist

Pros and Cons (optional)

Pros
The idea of improving your appearance as in the appearance of the quarters is a good one. LRH has a reference that if you improve the image of the org, the income will go up. And he is right about that. But improving can be done without breaking the bank, and in fact LRH said to just do en ough to make it nice but don't violate finance policies and good sense. He said that when buildings become more important than people, to stage an anarchy. And he is right.
Cons
I have seen people broken financially from having money extorted out of them for the Ideal Org programs. I was there when one place went Ideal Org and the people who had any money at all, the middle class, were inundated and pounded over and over again relentlessly and at all hours of the night at their home uninvited. I saw one guy get sick literally after all this pressure and crush selling tactics. I know a man who still has to borrow from the next month's paycheck to pay his bills because of all he was forced to give to the Ideal Orgs and IAS, and this is years after he made the donations in the first place.

I fail to understand how, with this review, the author gave it a 5 stars in needed, and 5 stars in helpful. I actually think he should reevaluate the "stars" system here and what does 5 stars means
