I went on a Scientology tour today so I could find out for myself , what it's really all about. After watching several films on the subject , I was given an E - Meter test, which apparently was not working correctly because I had not slept much. I guess they knew this after I told them I had not slept much today. They urged me to buy a copy of "Dianetics" several times, to which I replied no thank you. I was later asked if I had been in a psychiatric or mental facility lately. Not sure if this was a trick question or not , I answered no , which they responded with "Is that an English accent you have" ? Somewhere the communication was lost , and I regretfully will not be taking any courses.As I left , I could not help but wonder how Scientology has convinced so many people to join up , and become a part of their community.I thought back to the assurance that people whom I had spoken to had in their eye.Perhaps it was the promise of an eternal spirit , and the prospect of a religion which asks you to believe in yourself as truth, and not some deity. Yet why would anyone pay for this is beyond me.The recruitment film was quite scary and surreal , one you should definitely watch while stoned.

I made sure not to look directly into the eyes of the films narrator.

Hmm yeah, I don't think its for me.For the most part it seems like a pyramid scam, and a way of having people divulge their inner most thoughts, which can later be used against them.

haha.

if you want to find out more about scientology, the last place you should look is scientology. they probably assumed you were there to enturbulate the scilon celebrity space base.

dont worry, since you gave them your personal information im sure they will be calling you soon to begin your training.

You gave them your personal info? Yikes. These folks are dangerous. Ever seen any other church protested simultaneously around the world? There's a reason the protesters and wear masks and call themselves Anonymous. They're not paranoid, just well informed.

I think the majority of people know my regard, or lack there of, for religion in general, but that aside, I strongly suggest you avoid this one at all costs. Although I'm less than fond of religion in general, I am tolerant of it. Scientology does not have my tolerance, earning it a singular distinction in that regard.

I believe that was Rick Astley, not Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise gave up on sanity long ago.

there needs to be a term drummed up for the devolution of Scientology conversations into utter tomfoolery, something akin to Godwin's Law.

I'm sorry... but you'll clearly see in the attached visual aids that Mr. Astley's consistency is well documented.
