Save your cash - celebs receive media attention and can cause them harm in the public eye -- the cult's achilles' heel. Play 'em on and have fun with it - then fade on out to better than EVA street. Don't act like you give a care other than to your parents, of course.
Stupid cult should be grateful anyone attends and with the sale of halls they might be begging for numbers showing up.
Just read about the loser-elder hater -- can you tell your parents once he's gone you'll attend or something -- they need to show some empathy for you or you'll bop in now and then to test the waters. Use it as leverage -- I know they'll tell you it's your test bla bla - say your health can't take it per your medical team. Or have some fun with the hater buffoon.
