I posted this on another thread, but I think it could be fun to see if a new & improved "Church of Scientology" could be constructed to replace the existing scene. As that wasn't the topic of the other thread, I have started this one.
I think the entire management structure of the church needs to be ABOLISHED. No more SO. no more CLO, FLO, INT, CMO, WDC, RTC, CST.
There is no way to fix the current setup. It is flawed and locked in place by KSW #1. As Ron said, the best political system is a benign monarchy - the problem is succession (and I may add the deterioration of the existing, once good, monarch). Current structure basically requires a benign monarch(s). The are no checks & balances in the structure of the organization. Thus we get DM.
I suppose there is some need for maybe one organization to certify orgs delivery capabilities, coordinate publishing the materials and perhaps settling disputes, but I'm not sure that I'd give them any power over a church. In fact it should be the other way round. Any upper body could be thrown out by a 2/3 majority of churches.
Scientology would spread far faster if all the management crap was eliminated.
Let people start and run churches just like the Christians do. Let them deliver whatever they can deliver based on their trained staff. I suppose there should be some sort of certification of what "class" church you were and thus what services you could deliver, but this would be a very straight-forward checklist of requirements. Any church should be able to train up to the level of class VIII or even class XII if they have the requisite trained staff. Delivery of OT levels would also be by meeting requirements for your technical staff.
If all the crap was eliminated I think you'd see a lot of highly trained people come back to help out.
It would cause a MASSIVE flow of stranded Scientologists up the bridge.
Oh but who is going to protect the "tech"? Well, let me point out that RTC is NOT doing that now so WTF good are they?
Oh the squirrels - well word would get around. Results or no results. Don't give good service - you'll shrivel and die.
The entire freezone could come out from under the threats of the C of S as bonified churchs if they so desired.
The existing policy would need to be reviewed, revised and canceled. I'm not sure how that exactly could be accomplished. But for sure KSW #1 needs to be revised to make it "permissible". All "black" policies canceled. People would have to "get over" Ron's infallibility and face the facts. I can see the fur flying on this. However, I'm sure that it could be done.
Some new slogans:
FREE THE ORGS!!!
RTC LET MY ORG GO FREE
