I got solicited by scientology

I had a stall at a market and they were out the front of my stall preaching their nonsense about psychiatrists and drugs, they really didn't like it when we had a full and frank exchange if views...(coming from a back ground of a family history of mental illness).
they decided I was exhibiting a negative energy and decamped....my customers were grateful..
 
I wouldn't hold the cans. They act like a lie detector. I'm sure I'd accidentally say something important and personal. Like that time I had gay sex with LRon.

"Now squeal like a volcano-roasted Thetan for me boy! Squeeeeal!"

(Oops. That should've had a trigger warning.)

They were suspicious that I called them from a different state but sent me the packet anyway. I did get a call from them and told them I changed my mind. They said ok and that was about the end of it. It might be different if you go into a local one(they don't have to fly in to see you).

Messing with Scientologists is on my bucket list, but when it comes right down to it, I just don't want to be on their radar. At all.

I walk right past their temple or whatever the hell they call it in Seattle a few times a year and have told their solicitors to die in a fire several times. Sometimes I suggest they do things that are not anatomically possible, just to change it up. They have yet to come after me. We'll see how it goes when I do that on their home turf in Saint Petersburg.
 
I did a free personality test in the 90's somewhere as a student when I was REALLY bored between classes.

The questions asked then were so ambiguous that I had to answer most of them with 'maybe' instead of yes or no. So the test showed that I was indecisive and needed clear direction in my life. Fortunately they had a course I could follow that would start that week for a low price.

When I explained to them that I found their questions badly phrased and thus unscientific and their conclusion invalid the guy got REALLY mad at me and eventually when I left told me that once my life had completely gotten off the rails and I'd be in the gutter I would come crawling back to them.

Hasn't happened so far, but I did have a fun afternoon :)

I just moved to the Tampa Saint Petersburg. This is their headquarters and in downtown St Pete you apparently get accosted by them a lot. I'm sort of looking forward to it though I'm not sure how I'll respond yet.

Be yourself but I recommend prudence. They are aggressive and seem to have the cops on their side around their HQ.
 
Back in June I went to a conference in Ottawa where I saw a Scientology headquarters of sorts. I couldn't resist checking it out so I got my free personality quiz, and had an older woman (probably 50 something) telling me about how awful of a person I was afterwards. A coworker of mine sat about 10 ft away waiting for us to finish and told me he had a hard time not laughing. It was surreal, tbh. I took some very low quality pictures with my phone of the results page on her computer so I could read them to the rest of my friends and colleagues. Funny stuff, and if I wasn't too lazy I'd upload them here for you.
 
If you're dumb enough to fall the The Scientology scam then you're... Wait for it.... As dumb as as dumb bag of dumb things whilst sitting on a rock of dumbness waiting to be bathed in a tidal wave of dumb whilst shouting "I am dumb" to the gods of dumbness.

Not difficult really.

People who run successful organized scams are very clever and will help you rationalize your decisions. Joining and remaining are dumb, but if doing dumb things means one is dumb, we’re all dumb.
 
Ooookay.
This thread is about Scientology.
Yes?
Scientology?

No one in 2015 is dumb enough to fall for it.
 
I think if you are falling for Scientology in 2015, you're not so much dumb (necessarily; you might be anyway) as you are profoundly uninformed, lacking all curiosity about world around you and unfamiliar with this newfangled thing called the Internet.

They haven't attracted much in the way of new members from English speaking countries in the last 10 years. Their new incoming are mostly children of Scientologists and desperately uninformed poor saps from Eastern Europe.
