Flag Building final nail in coffin St. Petersburg Times August 27, 2002 http://www.sptimes.com/2002/08/27/NorthPinellas/New_Wal_Mart_would_ag.shtml
Re: Scientology's Flag Building -- Unmistakable Presence, story, July 28.
Aren't we lucky. Scientology's largest facility in the world. Right here in Clearwater. As the article says, an unmistakable presence. In reality it is the last nail in Clearwater's coffin.
This building is a monstrosity. It has scarred Clearwater's skyline.
Yes, people stare at the building, not because of the architecture but because of the evil it represents. Can you imagine how many lives and families were ruined to pay for this building?
And why a cross (on top)? Instead of a cross they should erect a two-story dollar sign, as money is all that they worship.
Real churches, such as Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church, feel intimidated. That is what the cult does. They are not a real church so they make a structure that intimidates. Even the cult calls it a "super power building," not a church.
Real churches inspire warmth and reverence to invite someone to worship.
The cult instead shows off its wealth and opulence. It doesn't invite, it repulses.
