Went Ideal: July 8, 2017

Scientology prattle: “On a glorious Southern California afternoon, set against the Saddleback Mountains in the town of Lake Forest, Scientologists from Los Angeles, San Diego and all points in between joined local leaders, dignitaries, and the parishioners and staff of the Church of Scientology Mission of South Coast to celebrate the dedication of their ideal new facilities in the heart of Orange County. Scientology Missions form the vanguard of the Scientology religion, providing the full array of basic and introductory Scientology services and Scientology auditing (spiritual counseling). Now joining the ranks of Ideal Missions, the Church of Scientology Mission of South Coast is designed to serve as the physical embodiment of Scientology technology in helping all to attain spiritual freedom.”

[Since 2003, Scientology leader David Miscavige has been on an ambitious quest to upgrade Scientology’s missions and “orgs” — its name for churches. One after another, orgs are being replaced by “Ideal Orgs” in what Miscavige claims represents an expansion of the church’s reach. Local members are under intense pressure to raise funds for the multimillion-dollar projects, but there’s no evidence that fancier facilities are bringing in new members. We’re maintaining pages for each Ideal Org, and we’re hoping you’ll help us keep up to date about these places by sending us information about them.]
