The Cost of Scientology
These are the different categories:
a) 6 month begiining membership - freeHere are my IAS-income figures of the last 12 years (The IAS was actually founded in fall 1984). "Lifetime"- and "Annual membership"-income are not included, as I don't have a real way to find that out.
b) Annual membership - 300 US $
c) Lifetime membership - 2,000 US $
d) Sponsor - 5,000 US $
e) Crusader (New!) - 10,000 US $
f) Honor Roll - 20,000 US $ or 20 new members for the IAS recruited
g) Patron - 40,000 US $
h) Patron with Honors - 100,000 US $
i) Patron Meritorious - 250,000 US $
j) Gold Patron Meritorious - 1,000,000 US $
k) Senior Honor Roll - 100 new members for the IAS recruited or "contributed to IAS expansion in some stellar fashion".
