Sydney Ideal Org

[Carmel]

I just heard on the grape vine, that the Sydney "Ideal Org", which they've been getting donos for, for a few years now, will now be a reno job of the existing building in Castlereagh St.

Some months ago, we heard that a new building was being purchased in Camperdown, near the city. It was going to cost, $7m, that went up to around 11m, then up to 17m. Photos of this building were being shown around apparently, and it was all set.

Prior to this, renos were set for Castlereagh St, but they couldn't get Council approval.

Does anyone know the scoop on this, and what figure they are looking at now?

Given the current worldwide situation and scientology losing popularity at a rapid rate may I suggest they consider buying a simple 4-berth caravan!

SNC, It went up a further $5mil to $22 mil, NO BULL, but I did hear just the other day it is now back down to $8mil and there is a new building chosen, but don't know any details. Hard to keep up really.

My friends in Sydney told me back in Nov 2004 a meeting of the field was called by CLO, They were going to raise $3mil get council approval and renovate the exsisting building by March 13. adding two more floors, and it was going to be a heritage job and involed the National Trust.

It gave them 134 days to do the lot.

Then at the LRH birthday event we would give this gift to Ron

My friends came to me in shock, apparently they had said at the meeting it was impossible to do in that time frameThey got kind of shouted down I helped them try to handle their obvious counter intention Alas, they did not "get it" and as a result of their CI you can see the job is not done. and nearly four years later there is still no concrete plan.

If only the wogs could learn the proper way of doing things from us Scilons this whole planet would run properly

THE Church of Scientology has appealed for religious tolerance after its $12 million bid to redevelop its Sydney headquarters sparked fears from neighbours of an increase in "menacing" and "aggressive" recruitment tactics.

The church has sought approval from the City of Sydney to add two floors to its five-storey building, Scientology House, on Castlereagh Street. The increased floor space would help turn the building into an "Ideal Org", the name Scientologists give to their most significant churches.

But almost 150 people in the neighbouring Victoria Towers complex have signed a petition warning of an increase in on-the-street recruitment drives using the "infamous IQ and personality tests".

"The street activity often results in menacing interaction with members of the public and has been known to be aggressive and persistent at times," the petition states.

More than 30 individual objections have also been lodged, including one from the owners of a neighbouring building occupied by the Department of Defence, which cites the security risk posed by a recent spate of anti-Scientology protests.

"Increased activity at 201 Castlereagh Street will encourage increased public protest in the area, which already occurs regularly and again presents a serious security concern for the occupiers of Defence Plaza," the Industry Superannuation Property Trust said.

Other submissions raised concerns about the potential loss of views, "toxic emissions" from air conditioning units and the heritage impact the proposed development would have on the neighbouring historic St George's Presbyterian Church.

The president of the church, Vicki Dunstan, said the residents' claims were "extremely vindictive and untrue".

About 20 church supporters have already sent in submissions, pleading to be treated by the council without prejudice. Ms Dunstan said 600 people had also signed a petition in support of the proposal.

In one of the submissions, the executive director of the church, Caroline Collen, wrote: "We pride ourselves on being responsible neighbours and friends to the local community and want to be given the same rights to expand and use our air space as any other property owner in your precinct."

Another parishioner wrote: "There have been other upgrades carried out by other religious organisations such as St Mary's Cathedral and St Andrew's Cathedral and I feel that we should also be granted the right to upgrade our building so that we can make a more aesthetic location for our parishioners to come to."

I get the idea donos are drying up.

I guess even their own members are
running out of "religious tolerance".

What about you ?

Can you stand by and watch human rights abuses ?

Can you allow a destructive mind control cult extort
money from vulnerable people without speaking out ?

Can you just watch while people`s lives are destroyed ?

Can you stay silent while the biggest intelligence gathering
project in history gets the dirt on otherwise good people.?

Are you comfortable seeing slave labour in the 21 st century?

Are you able to sit back and see child neglect and abuse ?

Do you remain silent as a Nazi organization infiltrates the media,
government, religion, mental health, education and the judiciary
with plans of world domination ?

If yes to the above. You are practicing "religious tolerance"
as defined by the "Church of Scientology."

My question is ...who made Scientology any sort of an authority
on "Religious tolerance ?"

My religious conviction is that Scientology is an evil con
that the world needs to be warned about.....

Tolerate that Scientology.!!!!

It's like their answer to reduced income is to burn every dollar they can get their hands on. Like a rocket using up it's last fuel and is about to nose over towards the ground at mach 3. Put your ear plugs in.

It is desperation at its highest level. They demand religious tolerance but they have a policy on 'mixing practices'.

Religious tolerance my arse.

[Once bitten]

This is a document sent to all of the people who signed a petition opposing the redelvelopment of 210 Castelreagh St. It was given to SydAnons by a person who lives or rents the rooms above the Catholic Centre which is right next door to the cofs.

It is pure intimidation. It is pure fairgaming.

It is sick.

[Iknowtoomuch]

Looks like something the Anons would send out to look like the church did.
