- graydude, on 03/26/2008, -8/+8The new building is gorgeous. Scientology is really expanding. 66 new (and large) buildings all around the world and in only 5 years. Just amazing expansion.
- DTK1337, on 03/30/2008, -1/+3Pretty easy when you have to pay to be part of the "religion" and have tax exempt status
- HomeschoolMum, on 03/26/2008, -7/+5Oh, wow. This is so great! The Scientologists in South Africa must be SO excited!! I'm very happy to see that Scientology is expanding so quickly all over the world, and not just in my town! (We've outgrown our church building and our church will be moving to a larger building soon, too!)
- jmatlock, on 03/26/2008, -8/+5This castle is gorgeous. The Church of Scientology will renovate it to even higher standards (look at any of the newly opened Scientology Churches in Buffalo, Joburg, London or Tampa, for example). This is truly wonderful for the many African Scientologists and I am very happy for them.
- izackcarson, on 03/26/2008, -4/+9Cults do like grandiose buildings that prove they are just as good as mainstream religion. Big, old-fashioned buildings do prove that don't they? Interesting to see what those auditing fees are paying for.
- johnalexwood, on 03/30/2008, -6/+6Amazing looking place - so now Saint Hill isn't the only Scientology castle! Scientology has been expanding so much recently - yet some people still don't think it's been growing as much as the C of S claims it has. Well that's laughable! Huge new buildings are regularly being purchased and turned into new Churches all over the world!
