Dozens
gathered to celebrate the culmination of the greatest period of growth in
Scientology history at the Church of Scientology Nashville on New Year’s Eve.
Scientologists
assembled to celebrate a record-shattering decade with a Golden Age for Scientology, more than 50 new
Churches arising, publishing and multimedia facilities taking flight, and the
launch of Scientology Network.
That’s just a
glimpse of why the 2010s saw greater 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.”
In evidence of
an unprecedented ten years for Scientology worldwide, Mr. Miscavige proceeded
with a stunning visual presentation highlighting a parade of epic achievements.
The complete visual presentation can be seen at www.scientology.org.
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.
Further
highlighting the end-of-decade celebration were presentations to honor L. Ron
Hubbard’s technology in application across every sector of society in the name
of a better world.
Association
for Better Living and Education (ABLE), bringing to bear programs to counteract
drug abuse, illiteracy, immorality and criminality.
Bringing the
night to an inevitable climax were the Grand Opening presentations of the very
newest Ideal Organizations for 2019, including:
The November 2
ribbon-cutting of the Church of Scientology Kansas City, in a fully restored,
nationally registered Missouri landmark on 18th Street and Grand Boulevard in
the city’s renowned Crossroads Arts District.
And the
November 9 dedication of the Church of Scientology Central Ohio, in the state
capital of Columbus and accessible to all on US Highway 33.
Whereupon, as
thunderous applause reverberated in the packed-to-capacity Shrine Auditorium,
the night’s celebration transcended to a tone of triumph. So it was, as the
concluding moments of the Church’s most momentous decade drew near, Mr.
Miscavige left one and all with a final word:
“With that, we
arrive at the close of this evening’s event, and a moment to contemplate the
next ten years. And the next, and the next and the next after that, until time
runs its course and what L. Ron Hubbard told us is indeed fulfilled: That time
is not behind us; it lies ahead in eternity; and we shall find ourselves in it,
irrevocably. But either way, what is absolutely manifest destiny is all of us
together for the next ten years. And in anticipation of which, I say: Happy New
Year and Godspeed into eternity!”
