Do you think that this attempt by Scientology to buy Clearwater is an attempt to normalize themselves to tourists and the local populace in an attempt to recruit more members and provide a base of operations for future Church plans?
Scientology has received a bad rap (deservedly so) over the past few years, and honestly as someone who hasn't looked into them very deeply, I've never really thought of Scientology has having any sort of "Home Base". They felt more like a loose conglomerate that operate more or less everywhere. By centralizing themselves somewhere that gives them a lot more power to operate more efficiently in whatever future plans they're looking to enact on.
Also, is there anything that can be done to oust them out of Clearwater at this point? Many Floridians knew that Scientologists were gathering in Clearwater over the past few years but besides being disapproving of it, couldn't really do anything about it other than just avoid the place.
