I would bet money that this is about their “thetan e-meters” and having to provide parts for them. Otherwise they won’t be able to collect $5k for a new one when they stop working (as if they ever did). https://hackaday.com/2018/07/19/whats-inside-a-scientology-e-meter/

I mean yeah. If you could repair your own just by replacing the little box of screws that makes it, uh, work? with three paperclips, a copy of Time Magazine and 3 sticks of gum - why nobody would hand over their life savings to their ~~racket~~ church.
