Is Scientology TV taking requests? We have to admit that we enjoyed the network's show about its L. Ron Hubbard archives (a program that held back key information, of course, but was still pretty eye-opening) and we'd like to see a similarly revealing piece about another of Scientology's most nutty facilities...

Super Power!

We've had a healthy fascination for the Super Power Building in Clearwater since we leaked a full set of plans and schematics for it in 2012, while the seven-story behemoth was still unfinished. Costing something like $80 million to $90 million to build, the "Flag Building" as it was finally dubbed by the church had first and foremost been a fundraising engine since it was announced in the early 1990s: Scientology raised between $145 million (a Tampa Bay Times estimate) and $200 million (Mike Rinder's estimate) from its members before finally dedicating the building in November 2013.
