They haven't done so since the 90s, and are well under 100,000 members worldwide. If they really had the 8-10 million they claim, each org (or &quot;church&quot;) would have an average of 10-20,000 members, and Los Angeles, their biggest org, probably doesn't even have 1,000.<br /><br />Their &quot;counted&quot; membership comes from any and all names/contact information they collect from anyone who has took a course or bought a book, or contributed in one way or another, even if that person has never returned to continue courses with Scientology. And even STILL the numbers may be greatly exaggerated. Independent studies say their worldwide membership is anywhere between 10,000 and 50,000 total. This is, of course, not counting the Freezone (Scientologists who are no longer with the organization)."},{"anonName":null,"pathToMedia":"388834_78094457","adminTags":null,"views":546,"createdBy":7918844,"createdByPathToPhoto":"116995/icons/defaultMember_116995_portrait160X120.jpg","assocMediaId":null,"mediaName":"Scientology Opening Up New Shop","parentThreadId":null,"mediaId":2859883,"tags":null,"anonSiteUrl":null,"assocMediaType":null,"createdAt":"29 Nov 2009 21:58:21 GMT","anonEmail":null,"isVisible":true,"approved":true,"numComments":10,"reviewed":true,"createdByUsername":"anonymous_user","pathToPreview":"","mediaType":"EXTERNALMEDIA","commentId":"1322790","subject":"","averageRating":0,"body":"Good luck Chicago with the cult actually renovating that building on Printer's Row.<br /><br />Here is a building they bought in Pasadena, Ca in 2006.<br /><br />Look how much they have renovated it:<br />http://vimeo.com/7109525"},{"anonName":null,"pathToMedia":"388834_78094457","adminTags":null,"views":546,"createdBy":18441343,"createdByPathToPhoto":"116995/icons/defaultMember_116995_portrait160X120.jpg","assocMediaId":null,"mediaName":"Scientology Opening Up New Shop","parentThreadId":null,"mediaId":2859883,"tags":null,"anonSiteUrl":null,"assocMediaType":null,"createdAt":"29 Nov 2009 22:15:00 GMT","anonEmail":null,"isVisible":true,"approved":true,"numComments":10,"reviewed":true,"createdByUsername":"THE_RONBOT_HUNTER","pathToPreview":"","mediaType":"EXTERNALMEDIA","commentId":"1322838","subject":"","averageRating":0,"body":"It does not matter what they need to hide or store, the point is that any where they go, the people will be harmed.<br /><br />From this base they will spread out into the town to recruit and take over the families to break them apart, as always.<br /><br />This city or town will never be the same again.<br /><br />It is the same everywhere they go.<br /><br />The Godless cult of greed will destroy you.<br /><br />SCIENTOLOGY KILLS!!!<br /><br />THE RONBOT HUNTER<br />ALL RIGHTS RESERVED<br />"},{"anonName":null,"pathToMedia":"388834_78094457","adminTags":null,"views":546,"createdBy":7918844,"createdByPathToPhoto":"116995/icons/defaultMember_116995_portrait160X120.jpg","assocMediaId":null,"mediaName":"Scientology Opening Up New Shop","parentThreadId":null,"mediaId":2859883,"tags":null,"anonSiteUrl":null,"assocMediaType":null,"createdAt":"29 Nov 2009 23:06:56 GMT","anonEmail":null,"isVisible":true,"approved":true,"numComments":10,"reviewed":true,"createdByUsername":"anonymous_user","pathToPreview":"","mediaType":"EXTERNALMEDIA","commentId":"1322947","subject":"","averageRating":0,"body":"The author of this piece Zach Christman should have done some research of his own before he regurgitated Scientology's old lie of explosive expansion.
