Something Can Be Done About It

How Many Scientology Missions Are There?

By 111 Comments

mission

We have some interesting information from the Pubs Sector about Mission booksales, and by extrapolation about the Mission network itself.

More substantiation of the non-existent “massive international boom.”

Sorry about the formatting, they sent this out as a password encoded document and I could not figure out how to get it copied over in its original format, so this is a just the text. There are two columns, all the way down the left is “Materials Sales” (Gross Booksales in dollars) and the right column is “Raw booksales.”

Many missions appear here more than once, someone with more time than I have could take these lists and compile a total number of “Active Missions” in the world.   If a Mission is not even selling a single book, it could not be classified as an active mission. Of course, there are some ridiculous figures here — clearly materials “donations” rather than actual booksales as Kosice the #1 mission for GBS is not even in the top 50 of raw booksales. And you know the dead as a doornail Belleair Mission strictly caters to Flag public and Flag rejects.

It would appear that the numerous Missions that scientology.org still lists in Russia are figments of their imagination.

Perhaps someone can figure out the total number of active missions internationally. I will add it into this post here _____ with credit to whoever does so…. 🙂 (A breakdown by area would be even better)

But just from glancing at this list, I would be sure the grand total of active missions around the world is LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED.

Thanks to Draco, Silvia, Roy McGregor, MaBu and Detlef Rutchaz for taking the time to sort through the list and conclude that there are either 94, 96 or 98 ACTIVE MISSIONS on planet earth.  My guess was confirmed. This is about 25% of the number reported by the church, and added to the 150 orgs means there are about 250 SCIENTOLOGY ORGS AND MISSIONS INTERNATIONALLY (while they assert there are 11,000 scientology orgs, missions and “associated groups”).  Thanks also to Roy McGregor for providing the breakdown by country that is now at the end of the post.

Dear All Mission Pioneers,

Welcome to week #4 of the Books Make Booms Game! This quarter we has two categories being played, the Books Make Booms Mission Game and our newest addition the Books Make Booms Hall Of Fame! 

Very well done to Stephanie in New Orleans who is maintaining her number one spot as the top raw bookseller in all Missions internationally! 

And a congratulations goes out to Adriana and Silvia from Belleiar, Stephanie from New Orleans and Rondi from Baton Rouge who moved up to the BOOK MASTERS LEAGUE last week! Keep up the good work!

SPECIAL NOTE: The salesmen standings are encoded with the same password as the weekly report. Call into Bridge if you do not have this 323-888-6200, ask for Sarah or Jenny.

Best Regards,
Sarah Allen

  1. I was wondering – WTF happened to the Los Feliz mission? I thought it was moving up the street – did it close? How many missions have closed in LA area? The Glendale Brand Blvd. and the Montrose missions are gone – how many more have bit the dust?

    Reply

    • Mimsey, are you sure the Montrose Msn is gone? It’s also called the Foothills Msn and is on Honolulu Ave in Montrose. Can you verify for me if this one is actually gone and not open anymore? Shocking if so. All of it is a damn shame.

      Reply

      • Back in 1990 there were 250 operating missions worldwide, defined as missions that had delivered services that week, collected GI and sent to smi int a weekly report and a tithes check.

        I know around end of the 90′ s that number was over 300…

        Now in little over ten years they lost more than 200 missions. A total defeat.

        For me that I like the tech, is really terrible. They misapply everything

    Thank you, Mike and all who contributed to the organization, compilation and deciphering of disinformation — into truth!

    Sadly, per these mission stats, of these 2,427 books sold in the first quarter, the average price of EACH book sold to “Raw Public” was $85.

    Really?

    Yes, $85 each.

    I did the math.

    Really.

    One other point that came up in today’s comments implies that some of us might think that staff can share in the Gross Book Sales (GBS) “income” or “profit” as staff pay.

    No can do — per LRH ED 343 INT 4 May 1982 — “Any money you get from book sales should go to buy more books.”

    So, GBS monies go to advertising books (via state of the art printing press promo), marketing (all those famous TV ads), and replacing any sold LRH materials including mandatory re-stocking of every LRH book sold and re-stocking of every Ultra 8 E-Meter sold (leased?)

    Laughing but crying…

    • One Point Won,

      Some people are reporting only $ and some are reporting only books quantity.
      E.g.: BELLEAIR: Adriana Scarpellini $19,424, Silvia Zanchi $16,072, Cristina Parisio 87, Marian Esnoval 54.

      In order to calculate the average you need to consider only those who reported both $ and quantity.
      E.g.: CHICO: Brian Daellenbach $60, 2 books; average $30 per book.
      E.g.: HIS-AN: Wei-ming Wu $4,643, 15 books, average $310 per book; Jiun-wei Hsu $302, 10 books, average $30 per book; Yu-juan Chen $269, 9 books, average $30 per book; Lou-mei Huang $310, 4 books, average $77 per book; HIS-AN’s average: $5,524/38 = $145 per book. (I wonder why there is a big difference among the average of different people in HIS-AN).

      From the Raw Public viewpoint, the average makes sense only in each country compared to the average income of that country. Also, different countries have different monetary exchange rates. So, averaging for different countries together doesn’t make sense from the Raw Public viewpoint.

    • OPW, this may have been how the book sales money was handled back when the orgs followed LRH refs and advices, but it isn’t how LA Org handles it now. I know cuz my son is the BSO and when I was KA drinking, I bought a big lecture package when he talked me into it. He said that it would help everyone in the org cuz the money would go into the big pot for org staff to share in the commission and would mean higher paychecks not just for him alone but for all the org members. So reinvesting it in advertising is a thing of the past, at least at LA Org.

      Reply

      • All this means is that the sales commission for BSO’s goes to the staff pay sum rather than to the individual holding the post. The remaining 90% goes into the Bookstore Account and can only be used for buying stock from Pubs or promotion.

  8. We in RTC wish to point out that the $5 book sale in Salt Lake City opened the flow in a city long held captive in the clutches of the Mormons. Based upon this monumental book sale breakthrough of magnitudes, book sales will boom to over $75 per week in Salt Lake City by 2018.

    This fact alone was enough for COB to call for a $729,000,000 Ideal Org to be built in Elmo, Utah. A quaint rural hamlet located 134 miles from Salt Lake City, the 162 people who call Elmo “home” were excited to hear the news that an Ideal Org would be opened in their town.

    Fundraising begins now.

    A dinner will be held in the Salt Lake City Holiday Inn to kick off the fundraising. Three Scientologists from as far away as Oklahoma have confirmed their attendance.

    The theme of the dinner will either be “Pirates of the Caribbean” or “Star Wars.” Details we be announced soon in an encrypted e-mail that requires a retinal screen and a signed surety bond of $5,000,000 for any breach of confidentiality.

    Thank you.

  11. This is great data- thanks to the helpers who shared and extrapolated the info so we can pour through this so neatly.
    I’m stunned by some basic bits:
    -More than 1/2 the missions have brought in less than $500 in sales over this timeframe.
    -Less than a 1/3 have sold over $1,000 in books
    -Of the $1,000 plus category, here’s how they break out by country (if more than one mission here):

    Taiwan and Italy, with 6 high-selling missions each
    US, 5
    UK, 1
    Slovakia, Russia, Hungary, 2 each

    The word is getting out about Scientology’s fails in the traditional strongholds, as evidenced by the sluggish sales.
    It looks like we have more work to do in Italy and Taiwan, plus Russia, Slovakia and Hungary. I hope the tremendous success of this blog and others carries the word that the missions are failing, and the orgs are, too. The money goes only one place. If you know people still in in these regions, please give them a link here.

    For those of you who have been helping to flag the cult’s Craig’s List ads, it’s working. I hope those of you who haven’t taken a stab at this will pop on over to WhyWeProtest or the Underground Bunker and see the links. There are MANY ads for book sales. I hadn’t connected the dots until now….but flagging helps keep new potential victims away. And keeps the booksellers from getting any easy wins. 🙂

    Thanks.

        I flag all of them. Most prey upon despair, which is despicable. All target young adults and teens, equally vile. The ads talking up “How to have a happy baby” or “see how we get people off drugs” are lies, so should be taken out, since Scientology’s track record here is well-known. It goes on from there.

        Oh, and there are ads talking up touch assists, too. That’s quackery under the false premise of healing. The most ironically benign ad is the “are you a seeker of truth?” Since they aren’t, why lie about it?

        This is why it’s awful.

  13. That is some amazing work right there. Displays the lack of income these missions are taking in given the prominence of book sales in gross income. I mean to me it looks like the trend is areas where they don’t speak English or aren’t too smart (NOLA) do the best here. I’d say the information campaign is working!

    • One month of someone being able to fleece someone else for some books is not a reflection of the intelligence of an entire city. And as someone who lives in that area (NOLA) I can assure you it is the good sense of people around here that has kept Co$ in a rundown house in a bad neighborhood and not in some booming “Ideal Org” downtown.

      Also, since we only have one month of these figures, we don’t know if this is a regular amount of sales for the New Orleans area or just a lucky month for the few people who staff that tiny (hardly ever open) mission.

      Reply

      • I assumed someone would say that. It was intended to be provocative. Though you can’t disagree the area does have some of the lowest test scores in the nation.

        I’d also like to point out that we’re not sure if it is sales to BPI or to the general public. And that the number one seller was maintaining top spot. Consequently, it’s been going on for at least one other quarter.

        Since you live there, do you see a lot of people out on the streets selling the books? That seems like the simplest way to peddle them, especially if not a lot of people are aware of what CO$ has been doing.

  14. So if this stat is even correct and not artificially plumped up, a monthly gross total for all missions worldwide came in as a few hundred thousand bucks.

    By my real business world calculations, this would put the true total number of missions at Zero (give or take 1 or 2 that occasionally come back to life), with about 96 to 98 individuals running around selling pamphlets and little books to the wrong people/market at the wrong time in the wrong place selling the wrong product for the wrong reasons using the wrong methods. If 98 scientology mission staff were actually on post doing their jobs, there would be busy, active missions and there is to be a single report of a bustling, thriving, expanding mission network.

    David Miscavige set out to destroy the very concept of a mission and he succeeded. Whatever brick and mortar buildings are still standing, the handful of people that show up in them now and then are not running a scientology mission. It’s a sad commentary that it appears some of them don’t even realize it until the day the lights literally get turned off, with no money to pay the bill and no management to notice or give a hoot.

  19. In spite of being one of the most widely hated people in the world, David Miscavige is actually an under-appreciated hero.

    He has single handedly wiped out 60% of all scientology missions world wide.

    This is a tremendous accomplishment. 200 different missions, spread all over the globe, speaking all different languages, and he has managed to shut them down just the same.

    David Miscavige should get the Anonymous Medal of Honor for couragous obliteration of scientology organizations. David has been working to bring off the big win- 200 missions shut down.

    The ultimate accomplishment for any anti-scientologist is shutting down orgs and missions. David Miscavige is the shut-down master having shut down over 10 full Class V orgs and now first the first time revealed- a full 200 missions!!!!

  20. This is certainly a shocker. The point is that this is the first 4 weeks of the game so it is a really good document to have.

    There are probably other missions that over the course of a longer period – say 6 months, will probably jump onto the list by selling one or two books. But having the list so early means that we can see how many actually active missions there are on a monthly basis.

    This list includes missions active on a daily basis, weekly basis and monthly basis. That is actually pretty generous because if a mission cannot sell a book in a week, then it is not really a mission at all, but rather just one or two individuals. Actually it would be fair to say that there are only about 70 active missions world wide, because the other 26 are selling less than $25 worth of books a week. One scientologist going out and selling books one afternoon a week should be able to sell 4 or 5 books. But that level of activity is being listed as a “mission” that is “playing the game”. I would actually say that most of these missions are playing the game of failing as fast as they can.

    Very interesting is the missions that are NOT represented. Didn’t Kirstie Alley have a mission in Kansas? Didn’t Jenna Elfman have a mission in South of Market, San Francsico? Didn’t Lisa Marie sponsor a fancy mission in Memphis? Opps, she’s not in scientology anymore.

    These fancy missions with nice buildings were from a big push that came BEFORE the ideal org program. They were the first try at getting big bucks and fancy buildings. Yet all of these fancy missions with big cash infusions are gone. Oh I am so sorry. John Travolta sponsored a mission in Ocala and it is indeed on the list, having sold a big $32 worth of books in a one month period. I think it must be the only one that still has it’s doors open.

    When I was in scientology, I heard once or twice this slogan “scientology lies”. I could not for the life of me undertand where that came from. We weren’t lying? Were we? Hell yes, but if you don’t go on the internet, read newspapers or watch TV you never get to see it. Hells bells scientology and scientologists lie their asses off day in and day out.

    This document is great. It shows the REAL scene inside the bubble.

    • Interesting you bring up the “celebrity missions.”

      Jenna Elfman’s SOMA went by the wayside, moved out of their building and ended up in a storefront that is open part time last time I checked (I think I did a posting about it).

      Ann Archer’s Santa Barbara Mission closed down.

      Lisa Marie’s Memphis Mission got taken over by Benetta Slaughter somehow and she turned the Mission into her house and then sold it (I think I did a posting about that too).

      Kirstie’s Wichita Mission is still there, but someone visited it recently and there was nobody there and it is open “part time.”

      Ocala is still there, though it is a sad scene — Christie and I visited it a couple of years ago and I wrote a posting about it — the only person there was a receptionist from Hungary who spoke little english and had been brought in with the promise of a visa.

      There was one on Melrose Ave, but that may have moved to Los Feliz, not totally sure. They are still going.

      The “celebrity mission” fad came and went. And it tells you a lot about the real motivation of those celebs that their missions died once they had their grand opening and got a pat on the head by Dear Leader and a video shown at the next event. The lights dimmed and they moved on to other more important things…

      Reply

      • Thats a great point Mike. The celebs and the whales are all me,me,me types. They love getting sucked up to and scientology does it so well. Then it’s off for more money and long vacations in San Tropez.

        Also really interesting is that the list shows only 22 active missions in the entire US. If you add up Taiwan and Italy you get more than that. Once the US was alive with tons of missions. Now the only places that have any kind of real mission scene are where the langauge barrier A) prevents the general public from finding out what really goes on inside scientology and B) allows local mission holders to blow off management and do whatever they feel is best.

        Russia is a great example of what happens when the bubble pops and the general populace discovers what a bunch of sleazy liars the scientologists are. Missions disappeared like farts in a fan factory.

        Scientologists drone on about “any PR is good PR” and “we cause our own stats not the press” and other supposedly LRH based justifications for allowing abuse and then subsequent horrific PR problems to crush their religion like a bug.

        The reason I bring up the US is because that’s where the worst crimes against staff and members have taken place, and that’s where most of the exposure has been.

        The idea that something is wrong completely defeats the average scientologist. It is incomprehensible because they cannot look outside the carefully contructed bubble.

        And I am so thankful for that. They have absolutely no chance of pulling this out of the fire.

        The scientology religion is now like a chicken with no head. The legs are still moving, but death occured some time ago.

      • Mike, isn’t that SOP? A celeb opens a mission. They have a grand opening with the dwarf. Everyone is cheering about how successful it will be. Everyone at the opening goes home. The mission is now on its own. At some point, they realize scientology is not wanted, let alone, needed. The mission goes to part time. The mission closes. Quietly.

        Is that about right?

        Anyhow, over a year has passed, and the support you enjoy here,( while keeping us informed and uproariously entertained!) –must be heartening!!

        Mike, I know this is off topic (notwithstanding the daily grind of sifting the facts from the fabrication), but have you, (or anyone offered )any speculations on what might happen to the ‘real estate’ (Ideal Morgues) and all the other holdings, were the current ominous lawsuits to successfully prosecute Dear Leader ? Perhaps premature, but nevertheless relevant speculation?

        • Calvin — thanks for your kind words. ANd the support from people on this blog is more than heartening. It is the very lifeblood of it, as without that there would be no point.

          The current lawsuits won’t make a dent in the assets of the church (those assets include all the real estate that has been purchased).

          Ultimately, they will no longer be able to be maintained and will be sold off. Eventually the church is going to have to disgorge the money it has taken from people under false pretenses. The biggest creditors the church has is those who have undelivered services on account. It would take a LOT of lawsuits and a lot of refunds being paid out to impinge on a few billion dollars. But it will happen eventually.

          It’s a long way off in the future in my estimation. First the NEW money coming in will dry up. The organization will not be able to live off the interest of its stashed cash and it will eat away at that. Meanwhile, outside pressures of lawsuits and refunds will add to the erosion. But even at a bleed rate of $10 million a week, it would still take more than 5 years to deplete the assets. And it’s not at $10 million in losses per week at this point.

        Los Feliz Mission really has no presence at all.

        It was sooooo tragically hip at one time with a lot of hipsters hanging out there.

        Now it’s a black hole on Hillhurst.

        The big secret about the Russian mishs is that many of them went over to Ron’s Org and are now delivering Excalibur.

        Seems to me the FSB suspects the Church of Scientology of being a cat’s paw of the State Dept and CIA( or do I repeat myself) though one wonders where they’d get that idea from.

        Couldn’t have anything to do with their efforts to influence Germany or their unwavering support of Clinton’s “humanitarian bombings” in Kosovo and their support NATO’s interest in Ukraine like you know issuing a WTH with the Ukrainian Flag on its cover.

        Naw.

        Anyway Scientology’s got a bad rep over at Dzerzhinsky Square.

        While on the other hand Robertson’s Org Networks seem to be playing nice and not getting involved in politics which is what the Church of Scientology should be doing and probably would if they weren’t so obsessed with world domination these days.

        About Mike’s comment above, it seems that there is a humongous liability in the amount of collected money for undelivered services. If the IRS allowed ‘fixed donations’ for services and it is shown that most of those services were never delivered, that there was no quid-pro-quo and that no refunds have been allowed, then it stands that the non-profit status is meaningless.

        This is off-topic, but I wonder about this. Exposure, yes I think US , followed by UK and Australia have the most. US is also where Miscaviage spends most of his time. But aren’t there abuses everywhere the Sea Org is? I’ve heard of abuses and RPF’s in US, UK, Australia and on the Freewinds (also the other ships with LRH). I assumed I hadn’t heard of others because of the language barrier. Now this never-in is curious. Is the abuse everywhere, or worse in the US?

  26. At least the Bournemouth lot won’t be making too many book-sales in future; they were the last obstinate trace left in the UK of the cult’s Craigslist advert scam – and posing as ‘owner’ rather than ‘dealer’, which was really dishonest – until concerted efforts at WWP and the Underground Bunker finally gave them the old heave-ho!

  28. It’s great Mike you acquired this list showing again the state of affairs in the church of Miscavige. Just a little correction: Lugano is in Switzerland instead of in Italy; Costa Rica is a separate state, not part of the U.S.

  29. Missions are the ‘in door’ to the clampire. With out effective selling of the scam, it collapses. How can the new meat replace those who ran out of money or now hide from the regs and boutique business of Super Powerz? Every one in the ‘chirch’ is now expendable. But you might get on the ‘patron maximus books sellus’ list if you sell enough copies of Battlefield Earth.

  32. Yes, concur with 98 Missions.

    Per the names Italy is the one leading the number of Eurpoean Missions.

    All of LATAM – Latin America – with millions of spanish speaking has 8 Missions. Can I use exclamation marks????

    • My thoughts exactly. The UK is down to ONE active mission which by the looks of it is doing a fraction of the business it was doing in the 80s. In the Roger Kaye era there was a whole string of thriving missions along the south coast, plus active missions or groups in the Midlands and elsewhere. This is straight down and vertical contraction.

  34. If you Google any of the people from New Orleans, a few are listed as “church executives” for the Co$ mission in New Orleans. I got news for you, it’s a house, in a neighborhood, nowhere near any activity. They’re doing exactly nothing there.

      • Maybe she sold them like we used to sell chocolate for school: hit up the relatives so the kid could have some sales.

        Reply

    • NOLAgirl. I believe you’ve commented before that usually if you call the phone number, no answer, or they re open a couple hours a week? And the New Orleans Narconon isn’t in New Orleans either.

      I saw some names, like Jenny Grant from Ocala, mission and it occurred to me that these sales, many of them, could be via their Craigslist ads. They sure aren’t selling them out of missions, in New Orlean’s case, just someone’s home.

      I mention all this because this would mean that the existence of brick and mortar scientology missions might not even total 98 missions at all. In any case, this is yet another evidence puzzle that is adding up to fewer and fewer viable scientology organizations and those actually still exist are not paying their utilities from scientology sales.

      Reply

      • Yep, rarely ever an answer when you call and the machine/voicemail it sends you to is clearly someone who isn’t from this area, their accent is not local. The “New Orleans Narconon” isn’t even close to New Orleans, it’s out in the sticks outside of Baton Rouge. I’d honestly be scared to death if someone drove me out there for rehab. That area is almost completely swamp.

        Reply

      • True about New Orleans Mission not being near Narconon ( 1.5 hrs away ) but the Baton Rouge Mission is only 20 minutes away from the Narconon Riverbend in Denham Springs. This follows the routine of trying to have an org or mission near a Narconon facility There’s a Narconon and a mission in Harlingen TX. There’s Narconon Michigan in Battle Creek within minutes of the Narconon Freedom Center. Chico Mission is about 2 hrs from Narconon in South Lake Tahoe. There is a missionin Santa Cruz County in Aptos, CA which is 15 minutes away from Narconon Northern California’s Watsonville facility ( aka Vista Bay and redwood Cliffs ) I know for a fact that Narconon feeds staff and sometimes graduates to these orgs and missions nearby whenever they can. The pressure is always on to send viable people to the org. Narconon is ‘the Bridge to the Bridge” One can see this mandate in their own newsletter http://alley.ethercat.com/storage/NarcononIsTheBridge.jpg

    • This is Missions. APparently there is no Mission in Seattle. Just an “ideal” org (that according to the pattern of expansion espoused by Dear Leader numerous times) that is generating field activity, opening groups and missions which are then in turn graduating to org status “and the pattern repeats over again and eventually the islands of sanity become the sea.”

      • Mike, Seattle does have one remaining Mission – The Eastside Mission, located across Lake Washington in Redmond. It’s about 45 minutes away from the Org (on a good traffic day. We don’t have many of those). Looks like they sold one book! Whoo hoo!

    • Used to be Bellingham Mission, Seattle mission, Bellevue / Eastside mission and one by the airport. Now down to just 1. I wonder why?

    • Since we did the counting using some software, I was curious about the differences. I found some misspellings which I didn’t take out of my non duplicates list: SAN FRANCISCO = SAN FRANCSCO, SAO PAULO SOUTH = SAO PAULO STH. So, my new counting of missions is 96, or 94 if the following are also misspellings CAPITAL = CAPITOL, N TAOYUAN = TAOYUAN.

      I noticed there are no missions with $0 or 0 books sold in the list, so probably there are some more missions which are not in the list. I also wonder how many missions did not report the books stat, hence not being in the list.

      • There is a Boulder CO mission not on the list. Also, Belleair must count all of its redo your Purif and SRD books etc. because the items and service is cheaper than Flag.

  38. The only mission in Maine, USA — located, according to the internet, in Bangor, a small working-class city — does not show up on this list, so I guess it’s another figment.

    The address appears on Google street view to be a shabby multistory building with no sign out front. The parking area was empty except for one pickup truck when the photo was taken. I guess the greatest expansion in history is happening somewhere else.

    • We used to call ’em POB “Mission” because most of them weren’t any more than a Post Office Box like the L Ron Hubbard Library.

      (Synchronicity was that a friend and me had a small business that we ran out of exactly the same mailing address back in the ’90’s.)

      Otherwise they are someone’s home address like say the Tucson “Mission” which is basically a “Mission Package” sitting in this guy’s garage.

      This is basically what the Mission Network became after the “Sea Org Moves In” and is transferred to SMI who like IHelp are basically either a bunch of clueless morons or are dramatizing their e purps or a combination of the two toward anyone who isn’t a “dedicated” Sea Org Member.

    • I live near this “mission” and there is a sign in front of the building (it caught my eye driving by. The building is old, and there is very little around it. I have lived here all my life and I have never heard an utterance about the CoS being in this area, until the sign caught my eye. Next time I go up, I’d be happy to take some pictures!

With promises of high yields, Bee and Bagley turned over about $130,000 to Hales and Bentley Holdings, which they were assured would be put into PMI. They were also convinced to help Hales purchase an RV, and to invest some money in an oil business.”

Probably due to the long standing Vancouver tradition of publicly ripping on easy targets. Even the Hare Krishna gave up public recruiting a couple years back.

    • I was involved with missions from the 70s through 2001. The list from Bridge above is a shocking report. There were so many productive missions with 20 – 30 – 50 even over 100 staff back in the 70’s. But Miscavige and the finance police had to knock our this horrible out ethics that they would actually help people at a grass roots level and sell and deliver basic services. Many of these the SMS missions the Davis Missions, Riverside mission had sold hundreds of books to NEW people every week. They also worked hard to get new people introduced to Scn. In the mission I started in. We had between 6 and 20 starts onto first services with interesting live lectures. Lots of hope to lead a better life, lots of talk about helping people achieve their goals. Lots of personal meetings, intro lectures and caring about new people. Then they were all gotten onto a simple basic communications course that helped people be more calm, more focused. Just TRs and lots of them. Total focus was on learning about the mind and become an auditor. Missions could train on the HSDC and NED course later. Then over to the local org for academy levels.

      From 91 through 2001 I knew the status of the missions mainly in the US as I toured them. Buenaventura mission used to sell 200 – 300 books per week and have a big course room and 4 -5 auditors auditing all the time and their C/s also took on a couple PCs. Bellevue Now called – Eastside Mission – had abut 50 – 125 books sold per week to new people. Great basic course room run by Andy – who wrote about his experiences in last couple years.

      SF mission had grown to a 4 story building by directly talking to dentists, chiropractors and local customers too. Now is a part time operation way away from their big downtown location on Sutter / stockton. Used to have 200 – 300 – 400 hours of auditing per week. Now 0.

      Davis mission closed. Was once huge directly working with college students and getting them involved. Same in Sac and Portland. They all had 200 – 600 auditing hours and upwards of 100 students per week. They actually got folded in with the local orgs and all resources got gobbled up.

      Geltman mission back east used to get lots of professionals into Scn, But they were wiped out and their class VIII’s out of the auditing business.

      Baton Rouge – used to have 50 – 100 books to new public weekly, catered to business and medical professionals in their area. Now collapsed way down.

      Beverly Hills mission was big and affluent and even won the international birthday game on the strength of class VIII auditors and other well trained people taking care of professionals in a caring fashion. They wold between 25 and 40 books to new people weekly. But they were wiped out because they were so greedy. Now that mission was just folded into another one in Sherman oaks.

      These are just a few examples. Elsewhere on this blog are all the celebrity missions. Peggy Crawford started Riverpark, then Wichita, then Memphis – yes with celebrity backing, but they also just did lots of work in their local community to sell books to new people between 30 – 250 books per week to new people in each of these. now… Memphis closed. WIchita?? Still in the big Kirsti Alley sponsored house or not? What happened to Peggy, oh yeah, joined the SO and her turnovers to those under her flopped big time.

      I could go on and on. During 90’s the missions went from 50 up to 85 in the US and have since nearly all have all closed down.

      Why? Finance authority and control had to have new expensive computer systems to run all their money. Had to stop their delivery to retrain their people on GAT / GAT II. None of their people could get trained as the orgs and even flag can’t seem to get anyone through auditor training and thus the whole things collapses.

      Used to be real people talking, caring about others in a confidential safe place. But the manipulations by management destroyed all that and put Video screens to do all the help? Real auditors who cared about their people were wiped out. Used to be you could get trained in local org and then actually audit and make a decent living each week.

      Now it is all gone.

      Continually wiping out any good that could be gotten out of the practice. Was supposed to be helping practice, not a manipulation and control and rip off.

      Long time observer.
