Considering the miniscule amounts staff were usually paid, that's quite understandable.I have no idea if they were paying or not.
I did two stints at Riverside Mission in the late 70s as a sort of "outer org trainee." Missions don't normally have OOTs, but Riverside did. I was Honolulu staff, and Bent C. had both missions at the time. Honolulu staff were often shipped to R'side for a while to "show 'em how it's supposed to be done." During my second stint there I regularly got paid $55/wk as an academy W/Cer, which actually seemed like a living wage at the time. (I shared an apt with one other staffer and our monthly rent was $90 -- cheap even by late 70s standards -- of which I paid half. The mission actually served good meals to the staff, so I had virtually no food expenses.) Except for that period of a few months, I got paid little or nothing during my six years on staff, and relied almost entirely on low-paying part time wog jobs for income.
