WOW INDEED.
Looking at this I am just struck by what Scientology has become. Its a song and dance, a circus sideshow, a gawking distraction. We have seen it time and time again recently in leaks, a thin veneer of 'high-tone outrageous fun' trying to mask the death rattle of shrinking cult.
You don't even need to be an ex-scientologist to see it. It is friggin' pathetic contrived mind-numbing nonsense. But the true believers appear to just lap it up. They don't want to take the time to think and analyse, they want to just pay their money to get cheap thrills at the sideshow.
Its just tragic to see, especially for the young people there wasting away their potential in life.
But moving on from that, lets just have a closer look at the attendance. From a rough count I would say there are a couple hundred there.
A couple hundred? What happened to 'unprecedented expansion' since the opening last year? What happened to the supposed thousands of raw meat coming in and doing courses? What happened to Melbourne Ideal Org, the shining beacon of Scientology rebirth in Australia?
And lets not forget the hype and effort going into this event (may not be so obvious to outsiders), as seen in another leak they were even bringing in a contingent of New Zealand Scientologists for the event. And you can damn well bet they would be roping in their new public to come to the it.
All this for a couple hundred people? Sydney and AOSH ANZO might draw this sort of number for a big event.
When I take the time to look beyond the propaganda and read between the lines of these leaks it is clear to me that Scientology's time is up. They try and try and put so much effort into it but they cannot see what is plainly in front of them - modern Australia is an intelligent society with infinite knowledge at its fingertips, and it gives a resounding NO to Scientology.
It should also be noted that Melbourne Day is almost winning The Birthday Game. Almost winning after this abysmal effort? Am I looking too far ahead from this or is Scientology truly dead worldwide.
