Far be it from me to sound like the WoodyBot(TM), but I have personal knowledge of quite a few of these.

>NAME: CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, MISSION SANTA BARBARA
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
It's no longer a mission, it's a full-blown Class V org. Yep -- expansion. Sorry to burst your bubble.

>NAME: CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, MISSION OF LA JOLLA
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
It's now called the Coast Mission. Do you have a date for this suspension? There's been at least one other mission in San Diego, but it was in the Hillcrest/college area.

>NAME: CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, MISSION OF WALNUT CREEK
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
Again, this is now the Walnut Creek org. A rather large org, too. Yep -- expansion.

>NAME: CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, MISSION OF HOLLYWOOD
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
Seeing as how most of their main buildings are in Hollywood, I'd probably have to chalk this up to expansion too.

I won't claim personal knowledge, though. Just interesting coincidence.

There's still a San Diego org. Different name, I suppose.

>NAME: GREATER SCIENTOLOGY CHURCH OF CELEBRITY CENTRE LOS ANGELES
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
Turned into CC International. Now a Saint-Hill-Size org. Yep, expansion.

>NAME: GREATER SCIENTOLOGY CHURCH OF PASADENA
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
There's a Pasadena org.

>NAME: GREATER SCIENTOLOGY CHURCH OF SANTA BARBARA
>CORPORATE STATUS: SUSPENDED
Like I said above, there's a Santa Barbara org.

OK, I'm noticing a trend. It appears that the "Greater Scientology Church" ones were simply reincorporated and renamed.

Not dead orgs at all.

>NAME: SCIENTOLOGY DISSEMINATION ORGANIZATION
>CORPORATE STATUS: DISSOLVED
Oh man, this was what proceeded Bridge and Author Services. Not a dead org either!
