Narconon Warner Springs has jumped on the "Ideal Narconon" bandwagon. I'm not sure what that really means, because just the fact that it's a Narconon means it's far from ideal for anyone who needs a rehab. Anyway, here are some photos of the "opening" that someone sent us. Click for bigger versions.
I have no idea. I don't know if anyone inclined to talk to us attended. It's odd that if you look at the first photo, there's a seated audience centered around the green display (and one person sitting aside who must not want to take part), and if you look at the third photo, there's a seated audience centered around part of the building. <Davy mode on>There were thousands in attendance!</Davy mode off>
Good point. They can't be under the NN Int umbrella any more because they no longer exist. The Narconons will have to get their own exemption or heaven forbid, they actually pay taxes.
I noticed that too. It's possible they may try to keep NN Int technically alive, while from a practicle point of view it's dead and ABLE/OSA are controlling things. That could be grounds for a tax fraud case if an investigation found that's what they are doing. So I have to admit, a part of me hopes it is!

And I just realized that you are the man I need to toss an idea to, related to the tax status and IRS. Look for my PM in a few minutes. ThanksI'm having to start a list to keep track of the lists of things to keep track of.Seriously, I'm hoping 2016 will be the year $cientology goofs the floof so bad with their tax games the IRS can't ignore it. At least not without getting a Congressional hammer dropped on them.
