Our thanks to Rasha for bringing us some holiday cheer in the form of this year’s holiday catalog from the Church of Scientology, with so many sparkly gifts to get for the Hubbardite on your list.
Truth be told, this year’s catalog looks a lot like last year’s, but even so we never get tired of the looking at the baubles Scientologists are offered, along with the hefty prices. But hey, who wouldn’t want to find these beauties under the R6 Christmas tree this year!
Speaking of gifts, we’re also super fortunate to hear from Erin Hodges Plumb who has gone on yet another adventure.
“I went to the Narconon building site in Ireland. It’s huge, and totally blocked from view with a security door out front. The only sign that it’s a Narconon site was a tree-felling permit from Narconon Trust. We asked a worker when it would be done and they said two months.”
Erin, in Ireland? What a treat! We look forward to hearing more from her about it soon.
Oh and hey, how about one more stocking stuffer as we officially plunge into the holiday season tomorrow…
