And this is for &#8220;our Mission Expansion.&#8221; According to FB, Jacqui lives in Sherman Oaks? I wonder if Idaho ranks so highly in the Desirable States stakes because there is [&#8230;]]]></description>

Quite fitting since Tony is Chinese/Taiwanese and it IS the year of the TIGER. Tony has been my staff member at the Riverpark Mission for 25 years. He is so pan-determined [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is not speculation &#8212; it is stuff they are sending out that announce just what a pathetic show it is. This latest is from the Sunland Mission. In the center of the largest concentration of scientologists on earth. [&#8230;]]]></description>

It was formerly the stronghold of Missions for scientology. The largest representation is 7 in Taiwan. It appears to be the only place on earth where scientology might be expanding.

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The real state of scientology Missions. This is a mission in the hotbed of scientology &#8212; Los Angeles. This is where scientology has traditionally been strongest and has done the most recruiting. This Mission is surrounded by scientologists, outside of Clearwater, you will not find more scientologists living within a 20 mile radius of [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Mission network, once the front line of scientology dissemination, is a broken down, tiny shadow of its former self. Back in the bad old days, Missions were large, prosperous and brought in the majority of new people to scientology. In his infinite wisdom (really his growing paranoia), L. Ron Hubbard decided the Missions were [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This announcement is so typical of scientology. &#8220;We are officially open&#8230;&#8221; BUT&#8230; Not really. Nobody has ever had auditing without making an appointment (so no need to bold that). And you can&#8217;t do courses. And it&#8217;s not like some huge rush of people is going to be pouring into this mission. They might as well [&#8230;]]]></description>

A mission in the heart of scientology&#8217;s only real stronghold — Clearwater is confined strictly to Flag while there are numerous orgs in the SoCal area and more scientologists there than anywhere in the world — this Mission is halfway between Valley and Pasadena ideal orgs and a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since 1982, when Hubbard wrote that directive, the number of missions in scientology has been steadily DECREASING. In 1982 there were about 150 orgs &#8212; the same number as today (despite the &#8220;massive international expansion&#8221;). I have commented on this a number of times. Yet, at no time in scientology history has there ever been [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, there was a rather large and fairly prosperous network of scientology franchises (this is what Hubbard originally called them, until like his use of the word &#8220;fees&#8221; which was changed &#8220;donations&#8221;, the word was replaced by &#8220;missions&#8221; in order to sound less commercial). The Franchise network was pretty much decimated during [&#8230;]]]></description>
