Like, how thick would you have to be? Who doesn't know its a cult designed to extract as much money as possible from you?

Also, anyone availed of a free personality test?

The cleverest of people fall for the slickest of cons.

Because its a secret cult for gay celebrities to turn themselves straight and save their reputations. People pay big money for that.

TBF in Travoltas case it didnt work. Fail.

I could tell you a few stories about those guys... I won't though.

I met a few in the Dublin office a few years ago. They look like you'd imagine they would.

I don't know how religion is so popular either.

Me neither. But most people are brainwashed into it by their parents when they can't know any better. Adults who get sucked into the Scientology thing must be a bit off.

I know, I liked her too since she appeared as the presidents daughter in The West Wing.

I was shocked to hear/read she fell for the cults spiel.

I was on my way through town years ago - at this stage I'd never heard of Scientology.
Anyway, was walking through one of the quieter streets - can't remember which one.
And there was this lady standing in the doorway of some building holding a clipboard.
She asked if I'd be interested in filling out a stress test - who doesn't love those questionnaires?! So I said I would.
But then she started ascending the stairs just inside the door and expected me to follow.
I nearly didn't, but in the end, I did.
There was a large room with people everywhere.
There were banners and book stalls and these giant tvs playing clips for bunches of people on leather couches.
I was led to a desk with 2 guys, and they put these metal cylindrical things on my arms that had wires coming out of them.
They asked me all sorts of random questions and these things on my arms apparently measured my stress responses.
It took maybe 20 mins, then they tried to sell me a book.
I declined, and left.
It's probably not coming across in my post, but it was a completely surreal experience.
For a while afterwards I actually thought I'd dreamed it - until I came across someone else who had also been convinced to go up too.

Some of the most fanatical believers are those who convert when they are adults

Not so much scientology, I'm thinking more of drunks who become evangelical Christians. One was recently the US President

Or people who convert to Islam


Seem to be stronger believers then people who just grow up with it.
As they chose it themselves
