Sunday Funnies: Scientology needs your money more than ever!

PeterSheadIt’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!
