The whole issue with SPs aside, not only is the preferred means of evangelism basically a 200-question personality test that’s rigged to tell you “you’re suicidal, you need a direction in life, why not give Scientology a try?” (No joke, I tried an official online version of the test donkeys ago, I answered it in the perfect way, and I still got told I was suicidal,) but the way their system is designed (Gradient, they call it), it’s a shitton of coursework, and you have to invest 150 grand and Jan knows how many years into the Church before you learn about Xenu. One point I’ve read quite a bit about Scientology: most members of literally every other religion on the planet can probably give an “elevator pitch” about what their faith teaches, you know, give them the gist in the time it takes to ride up and down an elevator. You ask a Scientologist, they couldn’t do it if you put a gun to their heads. Maybe the most coherent point you’d get is “fuck psychiatry” and “L. Ron Hubbard.” The only people who can are SPs.(December 5, 2020 at 2:37 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: Don't you ever wish we had at least one Scientologist here?Actually, the ones that really buy into it are told to distance themselves from what they call 'Suppressive personalities', It's why their presence on forums (Discluding ones they themselves run) is uncommon.
But I guess to Scientologists everyone is Richard Dawkins.
