					<description><![CDATA[Hey Mike, First, let me say that I love the work you &#038; Leah put into exposing COS for what they are-a cult. But, I want to stray off the topic for a moment with a question, has Miscavige&#039;s wife ever resurfaced? This has troubled me since you &#038; Leah revealed that she disappeared as one of the topic points during your documentary. It&#039;s mind-boggling that a high-profile person as she is/was could simply vanish into thin air without COS or the authorities presenting some sort of verifiable/ visual proof of her being alive &#038; well even if the only reason is to squash rumors about this mystery and then send her back to obscurity. I think if she was aware of this concern then she most likely would&#039;ve insisted on making a public appearance. The flip side of why she hasn&#039;t is a little disconcerting.]]></description>

It wouldn&#039;t have mattered.  By the time Hubtard attacked the missions, inflow into scamology was already falling fast.  Actually by ~&#039;79 it hit its peak.  But it DID drive many existing peole out of the CoS so that was a GOOD side effect.]]></description>

&quot;Miscavige absolutely HATES anyone who is more capable or smarter than he is, so of course he hates most people. So anyone who could actually expand Scientology has been shot from guns and only the stupid incompetents remain.&quot;  TRUTH

Over the years I was saddened to see Flag rip off services to offer that were typically the ones that Missions offered.  Then Flag did tech degrades by implying in its promo that you can do your lower Bridge at Fla where you will get &quot;standard tech&quot; as though the Missions weren&#039;t also offering standard tech.  The missions were always supposed to feed into Flag on a gradient.  People come to a Mission, do lower bridge and then graduate up to Flag for upper Bridge.  But Flag&#039;s greed and need for money made the predators like a snake eating it&#039;s own tail.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is a &quot;Church Of Scientology Mission Of Dorset&quot; in the UK https://www.facebook.com/scientologydorset/

It seems to have been set up by an enthusiast with their own money, in a rented bulding. However, for all intents and purposes its a characteristicaly modest UK org with a small membership. It&#039;s only distinctive feature is that it tries harder.

There are 7 orgs listed on the official site  (if you don&#039;t count Saint Hill, which the CofS obviously do).

It doesn&#039;t include the mission or the second faciity in London.]]></description>

To sum up,  a mad man obsession can only be carry forward by like wise.

If we look at the history of Cults , they were destroyed,  either by the founders  or some one like them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If you Google Church of Scientology Fort Lauderdale it indicates there is a mission in Fort Lauderdale.   But I&#039;ve driven to the address and it is a building that does not mention Scientology at all.   A couple of years ago there was a number listed for the mission in Fort Lauderdale but when I dialed it the number had been disconnected.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Noticeably absent is Belleair Mission located near Flag.  It always was in the running for top mission.  It would get Flag&#039;s rejects plus anyone who &quot;wanted&quot; to do a course and get a special schedule and not be hounded by Flag&#039;s various blood hounds.    But Flag isn&#039;t rejecting anyone anymore.  In fact, Belleair Mission would probably be put in lowers these days if it had anyone who COULD be at Flag but is at Belleair Mission.  
The recent promo at Flag has as one of its perks &quot;complimentary quarantine in The Oak Cove retreat&quot; for anyone receiving ANY major Flag service (which now includes the whole Bridge.)  I&#039;m sure there are other perks involved; I hear &quot;things have changed at Flag; it&#039;s so much better now.&quot;  Yes, I&#039;m sure they are.]]></description>
