Scientology defines historic its last decade of expansion 2010-2019.
Los Angeles, December 2019 – Thousands assembled in Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium to celebrate the culmination of the most significant period of growth in Scientology history which celebrated a record-shattering decade. The same even then took place in every church and mission of Scientology in the world, including Europe in their very own languages.
That’s just a glimpse of why the 2010s saw more significant expansion for the Scientology religion than all previous decades combined.
“Yes, tonight we celebrate the fact we conquered time. Since, how else could anyone accomplish so much in ten fleeting years?” began Mr David Miscavige, the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion. “But, either way, our theme tonight is ‘Time.’ Time past, time present, and what this decade signified in terms of a future that’s already preordained as glorious. So, lest anybody take it for granted, well, let’s just say, this is not only the best time to be a Scientologist, it’s also the best time to become a Scientologist.”
In evidence of an unprecedented ten years for Scientology worldwide, Mr Miscavige proceeded with a stunning visual presentation highlighting a parade of epic achievements which can be found with further detail in www.scientology.org :
- The completion of a colossal 25-year undertaking—a program to recover and faithfully restore all of L. Ron Hubbard’s recorded lectures—thousands in all—containing the day-by-day discoveries and developments of Dianetics and Scientology, now available to every Scientologist.
- Creating a Publications Power Plant: The establishment of Bridge and New Era Publications, exclusively dedicated to printing and manufacturing the written and spoken words of L. Ron Hubbard. The only facilities of their kind and capable of producing more than 250,000 books and nearly 1 million CDs per week, they allow the Church to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for Dianetics and Scientology across all continents.
- Building a Globa Distribution Center: A state-of-the-art facility for the manufacture and distribution of educational materials and resources driving Scientology-sponsored humanitarian programs. This multifaceted printing and production centre both fulfil requests and disseminates materials for social betterment across more than 190 nations.
- Restoration of the Scientology Ministerial training: This restoration comprised the completion of yet another monumental project delineated by L. Ron Hubbard. With it, Scientologists achieved the exact codification of every breakthrough auditing process Mr Hubbard developed over a quarter of a century. The above provides the certainty that all Scientologists can reach Total Freedom—from Clear to Eternity, through the teachings of this religion.
- Erecting a 21st-Century Scientology Cathedral: This construction coincides with the release of the fully restored Ministerial training known as ‘Golden Age of Tech Phase II’, and the Grand Opening of the Flag Building—Scientology’s spiritual headquarters in Clearwater, Florida. This Scientology Cathedral is an architectural and technical triumph that provides for Scientology Auditing and Training to thousands at a time and new religious services that were never before available.
- Forging New Millennium Ideal Churches: Scientology congregations embarked upon a relentless drive to build new Churches, precisely as envisioned by L. Ron Hubbard. This decade of unprecedented growth saw Churches of Scientology shed inaugural ribbons across 12 time zones and 22 nations. It included the 2019 Grand Opening of the Advanced Organization and Saint Hill Africa—marking the realization of Mr Hubbard’s vision of unbounded spiritual freedom for Africa.
In the wake of new Church openings, the Church attained landmark victories and recognitions in multiple countries, including a watershed Supreme Court decision in the United Kingdom, as well as the recognition of the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights as a religious entity, and even the United Nations recognition of the Scientology’s Foundation Mejora with the ECOSOC Consultative Status.
- Flipping the Switch on a Multimedia Broadcast Center: The decade saw the creation of Scientology Media Productions, a multimedia communications centre for the Scientology religion. Spanning a five-acre historical complex in Hollywood, the facility’s production embraces magazines, internet, special events and TV broadcast—virtually every 21st-century medium to carry Scientology’s message planetwide.
- Then it came to the historic launch of the Scientology Network, bringing the voice of Scientology to the world across satellite television and live streaming platforms in 17 languages. This number of tongues sets a new standard for religious programming and already earned more than 50 industry awards for innovation and excellence.
- Further highlighting the end-of-decade celebration were presentations to honour L. Ron Hubbard’s technology in application across every sector of society in the name of a better world.
One side of the story is the ‘Association for Better Living and Education’ (ABLE). ABLE works to counteract drug abuse, illiteracy, immorality and criminality.
In Lima, Peru, a 41-year police veteran partnered with over 200 civic organizations to reach more than a million citizens, ultimately helping cut crime rates in metropolitan Lima by 20% with the use of L. Ron Hubbard’s moral code “The Way to Happiness”. Moreover, and internationally, The Way to Happiness booklet has been translated in 117 languages, with 40 million copies of the booklet distributed this decade alone.
The Ministry of Education of Samoa implemented L. Ron Hubbard’s Study Technology through the nation’s teacher network. In doing so has reached over 60% of the student population, achieving results comprehension as much as 90%. Educators who implement Study Technology regularly report an increase in student learning rates, up to 15-fold in a single semester.
On the field of drug rehabilitation, there is Narconon, based on the research and discoveries of L. Ron Hubbard. This decade saw the inauguration of Continental Training Facilities in Mexico, the United Kingdom and Denmark, as well as Model Centers across the United States and as far away as Nepal. The global network saves a new life every four hours and has earned better than 150 awards and recognitions for salvaging individuals from addiction. As this decade has closed, Narconon’s worldwide success rate stands at the pinnacle of the drug rehab field.
Scientologists also took efforts into bringing sanity and prosperity to the workplace and business in Europe. They did this through the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE), disseminating L. Ron Hubbard’s secular Administrative Technology (Admin Tech):
In Hungary, an agriculturalist determined to reverse soil depletion from modern chemical-heavy farming techniques developed revolutionary bio-fertilizer yielding 25% increases in crop production. This engineer implemented Mr Hubbard’s administrative tools to bring his products to farms across Central and Eastern Europe. In consequence, he earned Hungary’s National Quality Grand Prize for outstanding innovation.
In the Czech Republic, a WISE member formed a consultancy firm that has equipped business owners and managers with Admin Tech. He did that through more than 4,000 seminars empowering more than 80,000 professionals, with no less than half a dozen firms then recognized on the Best of Czech 100 list.
Scientology’s churches, missions, related betterment groups and activities are more than 11.000 in more 190 nations. Scientology is recognized as a bonafide religion by the European Court of Human Rights, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Hungary, United Kingdom, United States and many others.
