Who cares. It proved them impotent and useless. Scientology is as big as ever. They own half of downtown Clearwater’s retail/commercial zoned property. - - pay no taxes on any of it. Most cater solely to the brainwashed members and cadets, only hire from within the cult. A significant percentage of it is empty. They have historically have had the city commission in their pocket- with the caveat that may be finally changing after decades of subversion. They tried to force the city to sell them a fairly major street downtown so they could build a large (tax exempt) theater for their cult Sea school “cadets) (or whatever those wired fuckers call themselves).the entire town and region hates them, but can’t do a damned thing about the cancer. Fortunately, there was enough of an uproar that the cult had to rescind its proposal (for now).
