Thanks for joining us in the Bunker today for our weekly feature, Sunday Funnies, when we take a look at the best Scientology fliers that tipsters forwarded to us.
Once again, this week’s items give us a snapshot of Scientology’s obsession with fundraising as individuals are asked to give up any thought of themselves for the good of the group.
But hang on, what’s this? Our first item, which comes to us from the ‘Silicon Valley Ideal Org’ push in Mountain View, California, is somewhat out of character for your typical celebration of people who write big checks.
For the most part, Scientologists humbly accept a big framed certificate and get the heck off the stage. But get a load of this couple, who aren’t shy about living in the fast lane with the beautiful people…
We write big checks for Scientology because it’s fun! How theta! We’d love to know more about this glamorous couple, someone please drop us a line!
Oh no. Not Gladiator. Wasn’t Rock of Ages bad enough? And when is some of the press in Silicon Valley going to pay some attention to what’s going on there? Why let us have all the fun?
Oh, Chick. We so look forward to talking to you when everything comes tumbling down.
Here we go again, Bob Twaalfhoven is a “legend.” Is that simply because he wrote checks of legendary size?
Yeah, we had to show you another of these. We still haven’t recovered from the other one.
Even more Silicon Valley madness.
Sylvia Stanard on a world tour! Chautauqua has unleashed her OT powers.
Kathie reveals the supercalifragilistic Ideal endgame: 165 Ideal Orgs opened around the world.
Well, let’s see. It’s taken them 11 years to get 40 of them. So we can expect Ideal Org #165 in 2055!
Leah Chalmers, changing the world!
Isn’t it cute the way the NY org OT committee uses The Godfather type font? Love it.
It just isn’t the same without Fearless Leader in our Sunday Funnies…
And finally, we’ve been meaning to announce that this year’s annual IAS gala is back at Saint Hill Manor in East Grinstead, England after it was held last year in Clearwater, Florida. Here’s an interesting leak about who gets to sit where under the big tent.
Thanks again to our great tipsters!
