It's not odd for me to see the occasional religious pamphlet in my mail, Makes for good paper mache and other art crafts.

Anyway this is the very first time I have ever gotten scientology propaganda, it's setup like a newspaper and talks about basics without ever actually telling you anything about it, Unless of course your order the reading material.

There is a blurb about old shifty ron, Some dubious testimonials and it even came with an easy to use order form to buy ridiculous sized packages.

The mail order part.

Front cover to the paper which will soon line my cats litter box.

I see there's a discount of 42.5%.

Apparently there's no actual price... :)

So - 42.5% of zero is zero?

Eh, not that uncommon these days, marketing wise that is. Just tell you how much you'll save or what the discount is. Not what the actual cost is or or original cost was. All I care about is what it will cost, not how much it has been discounted. While I get stuff like that from places I do buy stuff from, I don't get that kind of stuff from religious organizations. Though I ain't doing arts and crafts like Nay Sayer either.

Unless you count welding the handle back onto the push mower so I ain't got to buy a new one. A bit of an art and rather crafty.

Also for lining my cat fluffy's litter box.

To answer a previous question, The price of the legacy collection is 10,000$ [ Source: http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-scientology-christmas-catalog-is-totally-insane-1673241003]

A crafty use I did take note of, let's hope fluffy don't succumb to the need to pee (and whatever) upon them when encountering a Scientologist.

Well, who says you can't train a cat.

I just moved to the Tampa Saint Petersburg. This is their headquarters and in downtown St Pete you apparently get accosted by them a lot. I'm sort of looking forward to it though I'm not sure how I'll respond yet.
 
I'd love to get canned. I'd make up all kinds of crap just to get them all excited.
 
There was a Scientology guy at the farmer's market one day with the meter and cans. I sat down and tried it out of curiosity, because I had designed and built similar galvanic skin response devices in the past. It was a very crude meter, and his approach was boorishly rude and creepy I thought. I told him I had built much better instruments than his. He didn't like that and wasn't really interesting in finding out what I meant. I left.
