Hope the State of California buys it.
And Newsom turns it into an accommodation centre for the homeless and illegal migrants.

An Islamic centre perhaps?

Oh yes, at pcog HQ many will be salivating at the opportunity to buy.
Show us the money folks…….

California is broke, so they can't buy it. The Scientologists wanted the property at one time. Can you imagine L. Ron Hubbards photo hanging in the Hall of Ad and on the Auditorium lobby wall after the scraped off the gold letters! What a hoot that would have been.

Yes Tom Cruise sauntering the hallow'd halls there, along with John Travolta, all inside searching for the elusive Mrs. Shelly Miscavidge. She's hard to find in public since 2007, maybe she's already in the auditorium repairing burnt ciggy carpet & desperately resisting G. Flurry's hostile takeover. And telling jokes about naughty GTA.

More likely it would be another prize for Sony Pictures Corp. or Huawei H.Q.

Just realized the apostle was beavering away on this needless monstrosity which opened in 1974 while at the same time, as we have read in other recent posts, he published 1972/75 stuff what the hell is going on does anyone know

Eh, it's just a building. It will be destroyed one day anyway.

Wasn't it going to "be destroyed one day anyway" as soon as it was being built? Why did tithepayers agree with HWA to build something expensive that will be destroyed?

Why strongarm some of the lower income tithepayers to send kids to school with tattered clothes, or delay home finance, marriage, or college plans in 1970-75 in order to prop up the new auditorium that gets abandoned, sold, or toppled as "soon" as other "soon coming" things...

Oh, 4:41! Your quote reminds me of something Caitlyn Jenner supposedly said to reporters. "Come on, guys! It was just a penis!"

Often wondered that myself, 7:40.

Excellent reminder. This blog too often only expresses a very narrow opinion from an 'ministerial view downwards.'
In reality the Ambassador Auditorium was widely riddiculed by members within WCG. Garner Ted was the only well known name that publicily riddiculed the building after he left WCG.
