Wouldn't you need an OT 7 auditor to deliver say a word clearing correction list to OTs?
Yes. But not to do word-clearing in the first place. Or give a checkout to them.

Sorry, didn't read any and all threads, but I really don't understand.... I assume, as somebody said, they are really looking for a mission holder as they are at loss and they'd need somebody to finance the mission while it "restructures".
If this is true, then I really don't understand why they are looking for somebody... if they are not earning enough to keep the mission open the reasons to me can be at most two: either the mission is in an area where it is not needed, as people prefer higher orgs; or the staff is badly incompetent, which is a good reason why the current mission should die.
At most, I could see they are having trouble as they have been ripped off by Sea Org or Org recruiters, but in this case, somebody should take responsibility for that (except the stupid policy that if you are affluent, you can do any crime and be safe, or do I remember badly that policy?). Or because somebody has blown or was declared, but again in this case, it means the mission was not at cause, ain't it?
I know I'm being harsh, but the question is: why should somebody save that mission?
If it was really important, it should be the nearest org itself to finance the mission (and maybe give it some needed staff). But I guess Org holders don't know what "team play" and "pandeterminism" (or pandetermination?) means.
You know what? Actually we've had a similar situation where I live. "Affluent org" and, 100 miles away from it, very small mission who could barely survive. It just doesn't make sense. It means support is missing and "me is me and you is you". In fact the org continually tried to steal personnel from the mission... I guess many Scientologist have big misunderstandings of the basics in life and organization, despite seven volumes of HCO PLs...............................
In reality, missions are next to pointless. They do little to nothing for Scientology. Minus the money from the mission holder.
Actually, missions used to be a big deal. They used to feed a whole lot of new public to upper orgs.
I lived in the Sunland area for 16 years and am familiar with the mission and other church entities in the area.
With the money demand on area scilons from 2 BigDeal Org fund drives, Pasadena and Valley orgs and the fact that many of the area scilons are onlines at Pac Base orgs, it doesn't surprise me a bit the mission is dying.
Another casualty in the Sunland area is Delphi LA which per reports from a former staff there is badly stat crashed after getting their own buildings built and campus established after a long fund drive.
Hard to believe in the demise of both entities since of course Scientology Works and in the case of Delphi LA it even had a cause over life OT8 running the show.
Whoops!

DMSo finding a new mission holder to throw under the bus IS *good management*.
I did my Purif at the Glendale Mission -- do you have any word on how they are doing? I think it was owned by a big wig FSM.
With all this momentum in Scientology, it would be a shame to see us shrink, even just a little.
I think that one's owned by Mitch Talevi? A very good guitar player, as I recall.
I haven't been in there but they seem to have band nights every other Friday. I don't think they charge admission, though.

This is delicious.
It is the ESSENTIAL CORE DELUSION of Scientology and Scientologists.
The Tech Works (even when it doesn't, even when our Operating Thetan mission holder is dying and Scn can't do anything to help her despite 60 years of "scientifically proven healing miracles" )
Scientology is the world's fastest growing religion. Our Church's stats are in power. Our Church has unprecedented expansion and unstoppable momentum. (except for our local church which is dying)
Common Theme? Dying humans and dying organizations claiming that they have unlocked the ultimate mysteries in the universe giving them super powers and super admin and super results.
When actual results do not match hyperbolic glossy advertising claims, parishioners simply apply TR 3 and repeat whatever they are doing. (e.g. Death of a human and Death of an organization are not important "originations" to be understood and handled with TR 4 but "distractions and Q&A" to be ignored.)
I am not the only one that doesn't believe in Scientology. The Scientologists themselves don't even believe and apply it.
The high nubmers of those on the OT levels having terminal illnesses is scary.
Maybe there is something to be said about obtaining OT powers. Perhaps the higher being (if there is one) has come to the conclusion that they know too much and is doing them in. Oh wait, I guess they pulled it in themselves.
It sure is sad to hear about so many on the uppler levels doing so poorly healthwise tho...
