Building TO 100,000 implies it is less. How much less is the question. It may be 25,000 or 50,000.

If they did this, it has passed everybody's notice.

Less than 100,000 members! Probably far less since they always think big when making big plans. And of course they are notorious for their high turnover. Ask any of the ex-members here who were on staff and witnessed THAT.

Saudi Arabia!? Now this ought to be fun to watch! I can't wait! Hint to Scientologists. Iran is falling apart and the imams are falling into disrepute. Here is a good target for you. There have been several interesting articles in the New York Times about the tensions in Iran. Try there.

You ought to sit down and write up what you can remember, and that will probably jog old memorys. Shame to lose this history.
