Scientology fliers can chase away any case of the Mondays

When our tipsters saw that we were bereft of Sunday Funnies yesterday, they were good enough to send over a few new Scientology mailers and fliers as compensation.

We do love our tipsters.

Also, Karen de la Carriere has sent us another of her educational videos, which you’ll find at the end of today’s post.

So let’s take []

Sunday Funnies: Scientology nuttiness on Oscar Day!

On Sundays, we enjoy sharing with you some of the Scientology fliers that our network of tipsters forward to us from around the world.

We have another fun collection of items today, but we also wanted to recognize the special day that it is. It’s that time again when the film industry gives away statuettes to []

On Sundays we enjoy showing you the Scientology mailers and fliers that our tipsters have forwarded to us. And this week, we have a real treat.

We told you it was coming, and yesterday, Scientology’s “Advanced Org” in Copenhagen went “ideal.” (Photo of DM courtesy of Black Rob at WWP.) We’re not really sure what that entailed — maybe a new coat of paint and some fancy TV monitors, perhaps? But we imagine it was quite a party as the Ideal []

Scientology’s continuing plans for its Super Bowl ad, and more Sunday Funnies

Last week, we had a breaking story on Sunday and our weekly Funnies got shorted. So this week we’re making up for it with a cornucopia of goodness.

Our loyal tipsters have forwarded us many examples of Scientology’s wacky fundraising fliers. But first, we have an e-mail that went out this week about the church’s latest []

Sunday Funnies: CCHR’s annual gala — time, place, form, and event!

We have another fun collection of Scientology fliers for you this week. As usual, we’re getting a glimpse into the church’s unrelenting fundraising gimmicks.

But there’s also some news here. One of our tipsters managed to snag for us a CCHR flier about this year’s gala. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights is one of Scientology’s []

Sunday Funnies: For the second year in a row, Scientology will have an ad in the Super Bowl

On the first day of 2012, a woman named Debbie Cook who had been a somewhat legendary official in the Church of Scientology rocked the church with a lengthy e-mail that went out to thousands of her fellow church members.

One of the accusations she made in that e-mail (which the church sued her over) was []

Sunday Funnies: Scientology charges into the new year!

What a few days we’ve had here at the Bunker. We posted Tommy Davis’s deposition on Thursday, and yesterday we wrote about Monique Rathbun’s motion for sanctions, which included an amazing set of 2007 text messages sent between Scientology leader David Miscvaige, Mike Rinder, and Tommy Davis.

And we have even more surprises coming soon. But []
