Checking in on a Scientology 'ideal' Christmas as we continue our year in review December 22, 2018, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker

---

Before we continue our year in review today, we have a holiday treat for you from reader Graham, who makes a return trip to the Birmingham Ideal Org after he so sneakily brought us a report from its grand opening last year. We're always curious to see how little activity there is at these facilities after the confetti is swept away.

Seasons greetings from Birmingham

It's been a couple of months since I last walked past the Birmingham Ideal Org. As it was a Sunday I wondered if the car-park might be packed with attendees at a Sunday service. Unlikely, as Scientology's Sunday services are often advertised (in order to fake being some vaguely Christian-like religion) but rarely delivered. Checking their website beforehand I could find no reference to a Sunday service so presumably this is a bit of fakery they've abandoned; for now at least.
