I agree. And I made a mistake: Los Feliz Msn is on Hillhurst. But how is it doing now in PT? Any data?

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

Clarifies a lot. Much appreciated data. Very nice to get some hard facts about how Scientology USED to be when LRH ran the show, before the exodus of the late 1970’s, before the bozos took over in all their vainglorious self-important status and utterly idiotic know-best.

Thanks, Mike!

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.

the Los Feliz Msn moved to Los Feliz. I read here on the blog that it is now kind of a black hole where it once used to be very hip and attracted young kids.

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.

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.

They may well be purchasing at wholesale price and dumping them on amazon. There appears to be a large market on there and they are selling for way less than list price.
