I might go by for a look some day since I drive near that location on the occasional trip to the New Balance outlet store in Allston.

Yes please. Take some photos -- for a before and after comparison, to compare now and several years in the future when they've done nothing beyond neglecting the place.

Wake me up

If the COS Boston were a viable organization, the new building would be necessary to fill demand.

In Miscavage World, where stats and expansion is faked, the new building will be buffed up to look pretty with lots of Las Vegas casino style colors and hardware. Expect to see a Grand Opening with ribbon cutting, tuxedos, lots of clapping, really happy people, a few celebs, lots of hip hips and photo shopped pictures. And no new demand.

Welcome to the Delusion World of Scientology, where big new buildings support the BIG LIE of more people wanting Scientology.

After a few days, we'll see pictures of the uncontestable emptiness, the lack of people. The org will be like the guy living in a trailer buying a huge boat and a huge new pickup truck, he's stuck with giant monthly payments and wondering what will be repo'd next.

I NEVER have understood the need for lavish anything at an outer org. For me, it was all about spiritual improvement. Auditing can be done in a closet (and frequently is). If the $15 million were put into PAYING STAFF and acquiring a modest org kept clean and in good repair, that might make sense.

Buying that monstrosity in Allston is another example of bad management on many levels.

Fake stats, fake expansion, fake demand, fake "100% workable" tech.

Someone just asked me about Rick Siegel (as he share's his last name with me, but no relation).

Anyone know where he's at these days and what he's doing?

Here are a few photos I took of the place yesterday. There is absolutely no foot traffic in the area. At least there is a large parking lot behind the building from which you can see almost an entire vacant floor. Wondering if they'll be moving into that for starters or just kicking out all the current tenants. The entry has no reception area; just a long hallway with a list of current tenants.

BTW, got some great running shoes at the New Balance outlet store nearby. They are having a fabulous year-end sale into early January.

I did a little bit of searching but still haven't found what Rick's up to presently. But did find some info from years past:

In 1994 this Doc shows he was President of Wise INT.

Also, a comment on Marty's blog makes mention of Rick being at WISE as well.

OTDT, I have seen many comments on WISE not giving any exchange and help and thought about tagging my comment onto others – your comment is an excellent summary when you write: “Wise Int made almost zero inspections, gave zero help and seemed to have zero interest in anything except…MONEY.”

And do you know what? WISE INT is FULLY aware of NOT giving any Exchange for the money the receive from members. And I am talking about more certainty than merely a “gut feeling” or “being aware”. It’s a SURVEYED button, surveyed by WISE INT itself mid 90″s.

WISE Int did a survey as members were dropping away, promo sent out got no responses etc. It was when Rick Siegel was the President WISE Int. He put it together and also asked (pretty direct) what the members’ complaint were. WISE Int did an all-hands tabulation because they got so MANY responses (totally unheard of response, it was phenomenal). The answers, almost uniformly were:

WISE does not give any exchange at all!

WISE Int KNOWS!

Also, in this link (below) there is mention of Rick being Survey Network Chief, CSI in May of 2005.

That he is a member of WISE is probably why Google can't find him. They aren't allowed on the internet.
