   Yeah, I'll bet that the "Church of Scientology" would let a truly
   devoted member stay on if s/he ran out of money!  You have no power
   of saying "no" if you are truly devoted to a cause; except in
   Scientology's case where they can say "no" to you if you lack
   funding.

well, actually, yes...  

just sign this here billion year contract and you can stay on without
money.  oh, just ignore those little clauses... yeah, that one that
says you will be working for peanuts ... and that one that says that
if you decide to leave you will owe the church everything you own plus
some...

put in simplier terms... people who don't have money can sign
contracts ranging from months/years to billions of years.  they will
work for the church in exchange for classes, room and board (maybe),
and a few dollars a week (literally, not figuratively).  while working
for the church they may have to work several days straight without
sleep, or may be put on a diet consisting of no more than beans and
rice once a day.  if they decide to leave the church before the
contract is up they will end up owing the church for all the classes
they took (including classes that trained them how to do their jobs),
and for any auditing.
