Not very many are surrounded by barbed wire and have surveillance cameras and floodlights to keep their congregation inside the fence.

You've lost another Miscavige? >

Literally watched this today just because. Lol. >

What’s it from? Red October? >

That's the one. >

One of their most famous members just died of Cancer. Kristie Alley was devout and very highly leveled scientologist. At her level you're told you have super powers and can't get sick. I'm sure he's trying to release the next level of scientology to explain away why this happened. >

Scientology is bound to collapse on itself. They attempt to recruit so hard, but it's too well known and there are too many horror stories. Tom Cruise doesn't thump it and he's basically their godking. They go to college campuses all the time and I'd bet those recruitment numbers are worse than door to door Mormons. 
Scientology is a business, but it's so transfixed to its top members that it cannot effectively recruit new ones. >

I grew up in scientology and I can tell you that their ability to use cult tactics for recruiting is unparalleled, like if I didn't know any better I would think it was some kind of deal with the devil black magic shit.
Fun Fact: LRH once tried to summon a demon to have sex with. >

How did you get out? Did you grow up in it? >

Yeah I grew up in it.
Like most people who grew up in it and wanted out I never entirely extracated myself from the church because there tends to be consequences for that, if the church declares you a suppressive person other scientologists are not supposed to associate with you, the easier way is to just start making excuses not to go to the church and slowly move farther and farther away from it, I also have some health problems I treat with Marijuana and as long as I'm doing that I can't go on services so they mostly stopped pestering me. >

For the amount that scientology sucks, they could at least let you have marijuana. It really would make their barking-moonbat bullshit more tolerable. Also the obligatory Where's Shelly, David? Also, Where's David? >

David Miscaivage is almost certainly at the fort Harrison hotel, it's massive and has a ton of security and restaurants.
If he is hold up there to avoid being served not only is he living in luxury but the only way there would be any chance of getting to him would be for law enforcement to show up with an iron clad warrant and completely lock down an entire city block. >

Thanks for the insight. Doubt they will shut down a whole block. >

I thought the more relevant question was: "Where is Shelly Miscavige, David?" >

I'm sure she's happy, healthy, and alive. >

It's more than likely actually.
An ex Scientologist Aaron something... Has a YouTube channel and done a few podcasts explaining what he would believe has happened.
She was his assistant and travelling with him was his decision.
Only few celebrities knew they were married.
He got sick of her and hired a new assistant, moved Shelley to one of the more secret bases where nothing happens (Scientology dream job) >

Bases... for a "religion"...nothing sinister about that. Nope. Nothing at all. >

I think most religions kind of have bases right?
