There's the old expression "there's no such thing as bad PR." Scientology has proven that to be incorrect.

Yup. Here's an article from a local news blog at http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/val...oenix_idea.php:

Scientology Opens Phoenix Ideal Org; Mayor Greg Stanton Touts City's Status as Alien-Based Religion's "Birthplace"

Scientology formally opened its new Phoenix Ideal Org facility on Saturday with a celebration attended by hundreds of the religion's followers.

The grand opening near the former home of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard follows a bitter eviction process for the former tenants of the building complex at the northeast corner of Indianola and 44th Street, which New Times detailed in our October 13, 2011 feature story, "Alien Invasion."

It also follows severe criticism of the religion's mission of recent years to build Ideal Orgs in major U.S. cities. Critics including former top Scientology officials like Debbie Cook have accused the organization and its leader, David Miscavige, of greedily sucking its members dry with incessant fund-raising tactics for real-estate projects that don't advance members' needs.

[Idle Morgue]

I went to a few grand openings of Idle Morgue's. What I realized at these events is that the "opinion leaders" Mayor, City Council member etc...were READING FROM THE FRICKEN TELEPROMPTER'S - THEY DID NOT EVEN WRITE THEIR OWN SPEECHES. Slappy wrote them. It really poked some holes in my reality that these people meant what they said - they showed up because a SO member did something for them. The speech was written and they could have cared less if it was true or not! Hip Hip Hooray???

geesh! What a fraud!
