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>

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>

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[Just how many churches of scientology are there? If you ask scientology, they will never tell you. You can look up on scientology.org and count the number of listed churches of scientology &#8212; but it&#8217;s tedious and they don&#8217;t make it easy. But it is around 150, the same as it has been for decades. [&#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>

Publicly begging for money to replace your ceiling is not the hallmark of a flourishing and prospering mission. So, [&#8230;]]]></description>
