I don't know, I was going by what you said in your post, which was 1980.
I can't recall exactly what year it was but know it was in the early 80's.
And for sure Scientology was busier during certain periods. Many left after the Mission Network was raped and pillaged, and then again I believe since the early 90's there's been a continual decline.
Personally though, I would think that IF Scientology REALLY worked as promised, creating Clears and OT's as promised, that a CEO of at least average skills in the business world (non-Scientology) would be able to create a successful business within 20 years which was delivering services to millions of people each and every year. If that same CEO was able to hire employees at the rate of $50.00/week for 90+ hours of work, and provide no medical insurance, no retirement plan, very few other benefits, and was tax exempt, it would be much faster!
Scientology claims to be infinitely more valuable than a college education. But just last year a local university near me, University of South Florida less than an hour drive from Flag had over 40,000 students. So 400 people in a course room at the same time isn't so impressive IMO.
