First part details
Overall Expansion
1. Total assets and property holdings of the Church of Scientology internationally have more than doubled since 2004.
2. The combined size of Church premises increased from nearly 5.6 million square feet in 2004 to 12.1 million square feet in 2010.
3. The Church has acquired more than 70 buildings since 2004 in major population centers around the world.
4. The Church has completed over 400,000 square feet of renovations of new premises this year alone. In addition, currently under construction are over a quarter of a million square feet, including Churches in Manchester, Clearwater and Tel Aviv.
5. Over 10,000 Scientology Churches, Missions and affiliated groups exist across 167 nations, four times in just ten years.
6. The number of people newly introduced to Scientology and starting on training or counseling per week exceeds 26 times any previous week in history.
Regarding 1 -4. Despite being true they do seem to be meaningless stats unless one has the people working in there and doing service to justify all that square footage. I think I would have rather seen the Church renovate some nice buildings for al those hard working sea org people so that they could sleep in better quarters and maybe even have a nice posh cafeteria for them. Well I guess the estates I/C is going to be upstat as long as he can make sure all those windows are washed. "Over 25,000 windows washed in the last year".
Regarding #5 - No way no how. There are not 10,000 of these thigns in existence.
Regarding #6 - I think if thise were true then the buildings they have acquired would not be enough. They would need about three times as many ideal orgs as what they now have. Someone better tell the Pope that they need to up that fundraising and also mention to him that he would be wise to use this statistic as the convincing caharacteristic along with the idea that many people now on lines will be able to become FSMs for all these new public. Of course they better make sure they are good at converting rupas to american dollars.
