An amusing adventure to nowhere.
An old video, but amusing nonetheless.

We've had some threads on the subjectI know missions aren't supposed to fail and close down, but obviously they do. So what happens to the mission holder in a case like that? When the "mission" has ceased to function as a mission in any meaningful way, when it isn't sending any money to HCO WW (I think that's where we used to send it?) or sending any public uplines? When it no longer has any money or any public? What happens to the mission holder?

Riverside was a different situation. It didn't "fail" in the sense I'm thinking of, i.e. do so little business it becomes unable to function. As Bent detailed in Messiah or Madman, it was being raped by the Finance Police, which drove Bent to break away from CoS, and eventually to give up on "the tech." But Riverside wasn't short of money or public before that happened. It was very much a working installation.When the Ventura Mission failed the Steiners joined Narconon.
When the Riverside Mission failed Corydon eventually turned the building into a leasing place for businesses.
Okay, how many staff and public did the Riverside Mission have after Bent switched to Scio Logos?Riverside was a different situation.

I don't know. Is that a rhetorical question?Okay, how many staff and public did the Riverside Mission have after Bent switched to Scio Logos?
Funny you should mention Transactional Analysis. Toward the end of my time on staff I had a "wog job" as a security guard, from 10:30 pm to 5:30 am. In the wee hours I had lots of free time and little to do except read. I read "I'm OK, You're OK" and "Games People Play," two popular books on Transactional Analysis. I thought, "Hey, this stuff doesn't seem so bad." It did serve as a kind of "gateway drug"; after that I started reading Freud's "Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis."Eventually, scilons secured offices on University Ave. and continued as Palo Alto Msn.
Because they were down the hall from an organization of/for Transactional Analysis the SO came by and ordered them to move.
