Thanks Patty. What's with the uniforms? I thought this was a non-SO unit.

The Class V orgs that went Saint Hill size ( now called Ideal Org ) all have uniforms. They're not as militaristic as the SO uniforms. More of a business dress look, but they all wear the same thing.

Well there was a CC Nasville and I think an org too no ? If so, they combined the staff like they did in Portland org with the CC and the org. Some of those staff are SO Members. I recognized some of them in front. 1 was on the RPF few years ago. She must be the FBO as she used to work in the finance office at the HGB.

Some of those staff members are CCI staff..I recognize a couple at least. Probably just rounded whoever was out there and took the photos. There is a huge recruitment cycle going on with CCI public to join Nashville CC staff..I know 4 people personally that were CCI public that packed up from LA and joined the Nashville CC just recently..and I know one other from Florida that just joined.

The standard thing when an org gets into it's Ideal Org building is a supposed 3 month program that is supposed to get them to the size of Old Saint Hill..then the missions leave and the org falls apart. But it can be promoted that they got their Ideal Org and went Saint Hill size.

So an "Ideal" org is one with less than 20 staff in Tech, Qual and Div 6B for delivery and support?:confused2:

That means you'd have less than 6 auditors in the HGC and a very undermanned Qual.

You'd have minimum Academy staff and Basic Courses staff.

Maybe two Book One auditors and an I/C.

Two C/Ses max - one would be Senior C/S and copping all the telex traffic and be literally too busy for any actual cases.:whistling:

What a farce!:omg:

Just to have a full Ad Council/Exec Council/Network Co-ord set-up would take up over half the staff in that photo.:duh:

It's certainly "ideal" for those of us who'd like to see the cult shut down for its abuses and lies.:happydance:

Maybe that's why David Miscavige calls it an Ideal Org - it's about to close and stop costing money and time :D

Then it can be rented to someone who will pay enough rent to make it profitable :cloud9:

"OK! So as you know CC Nashville is the most recent of the opened Ideal Orgs across the planet and at the same time is the FIRST ideal Celebrity Centre on the planet. It is winning the birthday game at number 1 across the boards and won the weekly 20 weeks in a row!!!!

The ranks of staff have gone up from 7 to 95 in several months and the last few are being worked on to arrive.

The majority of these staff were recruited from out of state, (California, South & North Carolina, Florida, Missouri, Illinois, New York, New Jersey etc.) and needed allot of help moving there lives out to Music City USA, (Nashville Tennessee). I am on the Ideal Org Mission here and am in charge of getting these guys relocated in full and set up in Nashville. We are on the home stretch with the last few staff being completed and then its off to another org and another Island of Ideal Sanity on Planet earth.

There is one slight hitch..... We need a measly $2,200.00 to complete these last staff and the action of relocating them and THEN we are done. So close but we have to have it. "

Obviously the 95 staff are already famished and so broke they can't come up with a few dimes between then. If there's not even enough Scino's in the area to man up the org, what are they going to do all day? Sing for their supper?

Just the fact they have to move people from all over the nation is a clue that they will never have enough people to man up more than a few "Ideal Orgs".:thumbsup:

They could have the same crew of 75 people and move them en masse from one to the next every few months, a kind of travelling road show, in time for the next video. No-one cares about last year's newly-opened Ideal Org. Voilà! Problem solved.

I lived in Nashville in 1989-90, and volunteered as an OT 8. The staff was no more than 15 people, and the Org was in a much smaller space, on Music Row. It has definately expanded according to what I see here in these pictures.

“When I first came into the Org, I was drawn to Dianetics. I went home and researched Dianetics and Scientology at the .org websites. I then found the personality quiz online and filled it out. The answers went to one of the staff who went over them with me when I came into the Org. I broke down crying to her when a powerful engram hit me. I was then given an intro session where I found several engrams and I even went to a prenatal one. I then signed up for the Dianetics Seminar. And after that, I was hooked! “I felt compelled to want to help more people see what Dianetics and Scientology are all about. I came to the New Year's Eve party at the Org with my resolution in mind, I wanted to join staff so that I can help others, to be in a place where order and logic are key, and where the desire to help others become Clear is a high yet attainable goal. I have learned so much in my two weeks on staff. I can not wait to go Clear and move up The Bridge. I want to help others help themselves. This is my success story and it's only just beginning...”

Apparently she didn't do any research that may be the slightest impartial or reflective of anything that may be from former Scientologists. Wonder why she didn't come to ESMB.

Do the orgs sell Entheta control software that specifically routes members away from anti-scn sites?

“Joining staff at CC Nashville was the most high toned activity I have ever been a part of!!

“There were so many reasons why I couldn’t join staff that it wasn’t even funny. I definitely had reason not to pack up my family, quit my job and leave all of our comm lines in Chicago to move somewhere I’ve never even been. Those ‛reasons’ were just barriers to me doing the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics; they weren’t even barriers but huge blinders to even looking at what was correct. The thing that made me actually sign on was that the amount of emotion that was coming in on me. That only meant that this IS the most survival thing I could do in my life right now. So I signed. Thank goodness!!! After I did, my confront on life increased and all of those problems of not wanting to join seemed to be handled effortlessly and I was able to arrive two weeks early.

“I have never been so welcomed anywhere, EVER! This is the most theta group and being a part of it, things just don’t go wrong anymore. It’s hard to explain, but it’s so awesome to have, it’s such havingness in life!!!

“Thank you so so so so much to the team for not leaving me, and for doing what you had to do to get me here! Thank you to the entire staff here at CC Nashville who are all so welcoming and awesome. I can’t even believe I am a part of such a theta group!! I am looking forward to kicking butt with you on this planet. And of course thank you LRH for group sanity and a way out of the trap!! I am going to be able to say I did do everything I could have!!!! Yay I’m here!!” — Catie Rhines

“Why staff in Nashville? One only has to listen LRH in Ron’s Journal 67. At the end of the lecture, he more or less asks for your help. LRH is the most OT person we all know who, in his creation of Scientology, took on more of a burden than any of us will probably know in our lifetimes…and all for our survival. For him to ask as he does in that lecture for our help, you know he knows the outcome for us here if we don’t work fast enough at it now. Make no mistake – the game is on and it is not won yet. Now, I am also a musician and have a strong urge to create on it. Everyone on staff at CC Nashville seems to be a gifted artist or musician. You even feel your creativity growing as you drive into the city itself. So, I chose to join staff here at the CC Nashville. It is the epitome of “it doesn’t take long to build something.” From 7 to over 90 staff, to leading the International Birthday game in their 1st year since opening as an Ideal Org and now bordering on Saint Hill sized production. From the moment you walk into the Org, it’s perfect. Everything that you think should be, it’s there. The lines, the terminals, the people, the tech, the tone level and so on.

The Ideal Org evolution probably goes along the same way the original LAD St. Hill Size push went. A bunch of stat pushing, brow beaten staff, bullied top FMS’s in the area forced to reg for the org or volunteer during the push. As soon as the “evolution” is “done” everything is gone, the org suddenly is smaller than before the push and then Int will start demanding the stats remain at the levels they were during the stat push.

Expansion can and is (obviously) faked in scientology.

“I joined staff in Nashville Tennessee after speaking with a close friend about why he joined staff there. This friend of mine was the person who introduced me to Scientology. For what I knew, there really had to be something special about Nashville because he made the commitment to join the Org after visiting for only one week. I continued talking to him about it for a week when I finally postulated I would move there as well. Within twenty four hours of talking to CC Nashville, I was on a plane from Kansas City to the church.
“I arrived to find my best friend waiting for me. We left the airport and went directly to the org. When I first set my eyes on the building, I became very excited. Upon entering, my jaw dropped in amazement of its sheer beauty . From there, I was introduced to a few staff members and was given a tour. After seeing maybe half of the Org, I was stunned to find a hallway full of staff members simultaneously welcoming me to the Nashville Celebrity Centre and onto staff. My warm welcome was unforgettable. I have never been the recipient of a surprise party and here I was being applauded and cheered for and blushing from all of the attention while wearing the CC Nashville Cowboy Hat. Since then I have made many a friend here by finding genuine, intelligent people that all share the same purpose. It has been a powerful experience becoming part of something so astronomical. I know I will continue to win being surrounded by the staff here at Celebrity Centre Nashville.”

“My first trip down to CC Nashville was unexpected to say the least; I had no idea what was in store for me. So, as you could guess my expectations were vague, but this actually made my first experience even better. I arrived at Celebrity Centre Nashville and I was shocked; in a good way. Since the staff members I drove in with had been away for weeks, they were greeted warmly by everyone who saw them. Luckily this warmness rubbed off on me once I was introduced to everybody. The entire staff just seemed so well put together. There was a great age range of staff members, which would make anyone 15 through 85 years old feel welcome here. So after my first day at the Org, I got to thinking "maybe this place would be the optimum occupation for me right now". Everyone seemed to be so happy and on purpose, so the idea of saying "no" in a recruit cycle seemed to be drifting further and further away from me. The next day I got to know the staff in my age range. I hadn't realized there were such sane kids my age anymore. These people were a huge influence in my decision to join staff, even though I wouldn't get to know them for another two weeks. Actually, I made up my mind about joining after the third day. So as soon as I saw a recruiter I asked him, "When are you guys going to recruit me for staff?". He of course noticed my good indicators on joining the winning team and had me sign a contract. And here I am, within a month from when I began my project prepare. I get to type this success from my desk, as the Addresso Officer in Div 2. Life is good and I am very happy with how this turned out.”

“Joining staff has been the greatest action I have ever taken. I have been looking for something new and for the past year I have been looking for a bigger game.

While I was at the Northwest Chicago Mission one week, a recruiter from Nashville came in and talked to me about joining staff. I was so excited and I felt like it was the right thing to do. From that point, the only thing on my mind was joining staff. So, I signed up!

I have only been in Nashville for a couple of days now and I already love the city and the people. They make you feel so much more; I feel so at home in this org. Everyone is smiling and I just love the atmosphere. The org is also professional and standard. I love the people here and I feel so happy to be part of this great organization.

I wanted change and I am so excited for the adventure that I am undertaking. A couple of my friends said I was really going to like Nashville. They were wrong...I love it!!”

“I feel a rush of excitement as I know that my decision to join will affect all of my dynamics. My dynamics before joining staff were slipping into non-existence and now I am more productive and uptone than ever before. I am going to become a Course Supervisor, which is one of my dreams!”

— Carrin Reeves



“From here on the world will change. But if it changes at all and if it recovers, it will be because of the Scientologists; it will be because of the auditor and his technical skill; it will be because of the organization and the organization staff member and his dedication.” — LRH

What does she mean "my dynamics."

Oh never mind. It's all bullshit anyway.

“My first trip down to CC Nashville was unexpected to say the least; I had no idea what was in store for me. So, as you could guess my expectations were vague, but this actually made my first experience even better. I arrived at Celebrity Centre Nashville and I was shocked; in a good way. Since the staff members I drove in with had been away for weeks, they were greeted warmly by everyone who saw them. Luckily this warmness rubbed off on me once I was introduced to everybody. The entire staff just seemed so well put together. There was a great age range of staff members, which would make anyone 15 through 85 years old feel welcome here. So after my first day at the Org, I got to thinking "maybe this place would be the optimum occupation for me right now". Everyone seemed to be so happy and on purpose, so the idea of saying "no" in a recruit cycle seemed to be drifting further and further away from me. The next day I got to know the staff in my age range. I hadn't realized there were such sane kids my age anymore. These people were a huge influence in my decision to join staff, even though I wouldn't get to know them for another two weeks. Actually, I made up my mind about joining after the third day. So as soon as I saw a recruiter I asked him, "When are you guys going to recruit me for staff?". He of course noticed my good indicators on joining the winning team and had me sign a contract. And here I am, within a month from when I began my project prepare. I get to type this success from my desk, as the Addresso Officer in Div 2. Life is good and I am very happy with how this turned out.”

“Why I joined staff in Nashville:
“I was giving assists at the Cavalcade in Winter Wonderland this last year and I got rehabilitated on helping people. There were all these raw public coming in and I saw how much they were reaching for Dianetics and Scientology. Then Winter Wonderland ended and I wanted to help all the time.
“As it turns out, I ended up having to do business in Nashville. I had some friends on staff there, so I came in to see them and see the org. I fell in love. I found myself thinking about joining staff while at work. So I did it!
“CC Nashville is such an awesome, awesome group. I've never seen anything like it. It's a very unusual group here. We are here in Music City USA, there are fellow OTs on staff and artists; very different, very unique group.
“I urge everyone to join staff. If you ever have a desire to help, and are any kind of artists, you need to come join staff at CC Nashville. Your dynamics will align.”

The Class V orgs that went Saint Hill size ( now called Ideal Org )

Is that official?

Saint Hill Size is now called Ideal Org?

Is and Ideal Org actually Saint Hill size?

Why the need for a name change?

Look at Anonsparrows videos, DC is an Ideal org but there's no way in hell they are Saint Hill Size.

“Back in the 80's I saw an ad on TV for Dianetics. I bought it and read it. I tried the technique on my husband who had real bad rheumatoid arthritis and it worked. Unfortunately I didn't know it's real power and we never did any more of it.

“During this year, I started to receive promotion from Flag. They got me reading more books, taking the extension courses and even listening to the lectures. I decided to come to CC Nashville for a tour. I got onto the Seminar and afterwards I signed up for the Co-Audit. On one of the trips to Nashville, the PPO [note: PPO is the Personnel Procurement Officer] came up to talk to me. After a little while, he asked me if I would like to join staff. I was really surprised, but I already knew I wanted to. After being here a couple of times, I knew this was the answer to my prayers. I had already been preparing my life for a change and this was it. I have never in all my life been around this many happy people and it makes you want to stay.”

“I first found out about Scientology through my Real Estate Mentor. He directed me to the website and I learned about Study Tech. Following that I continued to take the Volunteer Minister Courses.

“As I read these booklets, I remembered that the author wrote another book that I had been trying to read for the past 15 plus years. I picked back up my old copy of this book called Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard and I was amazed at how quickly I had realizations about why things happened the way they did in my life; why I acted irrational at times and why my relationships were the way they were. Not only did it tell me the why, it showed me the solution. Dianetics showed me how I could become cause over my own life instead of the effect of it.

“The more I learned about Dianetics and Scientology, the more I wanted to know because things started making sense in my mind and in my life. Situations that I thought I did not have control over, I started being able to control. The pains and troubles of my body were disappearing. I was able to handle the suppression in my life. All of this came from Dianetics and some online Scientology booklets!

“I had to go to Nashville for the Dianetics seminar. From this I wanted to have unlimited access to this information so I could help myself and others so we all can be free.

“This is why I joined staff. I joined in Nashville because I see dedicated, unwavering and ethical, top of the tone scale individuals working together as a group to teach others L. Ron Hubbard's technology. I want to correctly teach other people how to have, know, apply and teach this technology correctly to others. By doing this, we CAN clear the planet.”

I'm finding it hard to believe they have that many staff. What do they have like 3 public?

They've definitely ripped-off staff from St. Louis. I had a recent exchange with a former STL staffer on Facebook. She's now a proud part of Nashville.

So, the space vampire costumes are in use! I wonder who will pay the dry cleaning bill for 90 staffers in a humid town like Nashville.

The Nashville CC was the very first org I ever went to, way back in 1988.

At the time it was set up in an old house that had been modified into an office on Music Row.

They later moved to a bigger building that included a sauna.

Back then they had a handful of staff people who ran it. Not much to say about them really. I was 16 at the time and too young and naive to really recognize the warning signs they were giving off. Some were more lucid and grounded in reality than others.

One woman, whose name escapes me, was married to a guy named James. Well James was ok, but kind of trapped in the endless cycle of poverty that scientology life generally creates. He and his wife spent all their time and energy on the cult and therefore didn't have anything left to maintain and improve their own lives. The wife in this couple was a real nutter. Nice and genuinely kind I think, but totally off the wall full-tilt drank the kool aide crazy. Some of the things that came out of her mouth are still fresh in my mind as examples of ignorance and delusion all wrapped up into one. She would prattle off the sales pitch without really understanding what she was saying. Asking her to clarify what she meant was a waste of time because she'd just repeat the same thing over again. I kept trying to make sense of her, not realizing because I was still pretty young that she was kookoo for cocoa puffs and that sometimes crazy people can and do talk in complete sentences.

At the time I knew them she was pregnant and I got the distinct impression, even then, that James felt trapped in that relationship.

Odds are that most of the people I knew then are long gone from the cult. Either that or they got snookered into joining the SO and are caught in that trap. Doug Troop was another guy I knew back then and he wound up out in LA in the early 90's doing something at the HGB. Nice guy, but sadly trapped in the cult along with a lot of other nice people.

The picture at the beginning of this thread is amusing because there is NO WAY that org has that many people slaving there.

How is it going so far Dallas, Cincinnati, Smell-aaa, Inglewood, Harlem and wherever else you purchased a building at the peak of the market and right before the real estate collapse??? Public knocking down the doors? Straight up and vertical stats? Do let us know, will you?

Not working is it? Better apply Scientology to it "the science of knowing how to know" - LOOK - see what the public's perception is of this evil CULT! :angry::grouch::omg: But ask survey's ignoring the real truth - now that is effective - avoid the truth at all costs!

On the other hand, don't look - just keep sippin the Kool-aid and increasing the magnitude of that little purple stain on your upper lip! :yes:

P.S. The buildings are not investments - one does not need to be a HARVARD GRAD to see that property bought at the peak of the market is not worth it's value today. They OVERPAID for every single building! Then they are over improving them. They will all end up on the auction block.
