It’s time for another installment of Sunday Funnies, as we turn over to our readers the Scientology fundraising fliers that we’ve been forwarded by our great tipsters during the week.
We’re always amazed to see how many interesting things our sharp readers are able to pull out of these church mailers. They’ve provided us a pretty detailed record of Scientology’s fortunes over the past few years.
We’ll start this week with more evidence of a trend we mentioned recently. We had noticed that increasingly, Scientology events are charging pretty stiff prices up front, something we rarely saw them do in the past.
We wondered whether the high entry fees were a way to guarantee that attendees at least coughed up something — after all, the purpose of these shindigs is to get as much money as possible out of the faithful. And now get a load of the suggested prices for this next gala!
Kaylene knows she won’t get worse!
Rusty Logan, making Atlanta go right…
Costumes encouraged, guys! Wear your mask!
Jezhael has always liked helping people…
People in Sacramento consider Russians their arch nemeses? Huh?
Hey, come on down for some voodoo faith healing!
Scientology Toastmasters in Las Vegas — did they invite Carla Moxon yet?
Nice staff tie, Peter.
These schemes to get people to make additional donations are getting pretty arcane. Can someone explain this one to us?
“Ballpark fundraise completion?” Say what?
Hey, look who came through for the Silicon Valley! That local wealthy couple we wrote about recently, Bob and Trish Duggan!
Another party with costumes!
And finally, mighty Toronto raises money for its derelict heap!
Thanks again to our great tipsters!
