Just a few days ago we told you that Scientologists in the UK had started archiving their publications on the ‘net. It was a surprising move for an organization that remains very conflicted about the web. Shortly after we pointed out that the magazines were online, they were yanked down.
Now a tipster has pointed us to another interesting and puzzling Internet adventure by another Scientology entity. The Tampa Ideal Org for some reason thinks it’s a good idea to recruit for staff members with a primitive website that presents a series of self-promotional pages.
Take a look for yourself at jointampa.org — at least before it gets yanked down after we bring it to your attention.
Who, we wonder, could the Tampa folks think they could possibly reach with this kind of recruiting? It boggles the mind. Anyway, in the likely event that it’s going to be disappeared, we’ve preserved the website and we’ll post several of its pages here. It’s essentially a slide show, and it makes a lot of claims that would only appeal to the most deluded Scientologist. Tampa will clear the planet!
Thanks to our tipster to alerting us to this website!
