Hi, though not an ex-scientologist I am an ex-other cult-like scam, namely Primal Therapy. I've been an avid follower of all things to do with this pernicious organisation (scientology) for decades, ever since a mate of mine married the daughter of scientology's local head honcho back in the 70s. Back then it wasn't widely known what a scam scientology is; indeed, I recall a psychologist friend buying and reading Dianetics with not the slightest hint of irony.
Anyways, I'm hear to listen rather than say a lot about scientology since my only direct experience of the cult that I can recall happened a few decades ago, when, while walking down the high street, minding my own business, I was approached by an attractive young girl who was holding a clipboard.
"If you could have anything in life you've ever wanted, what would that be?" she asked, with a wide smile revealing near-perfect dentition. In a flash (because by that time in my life I was already aware enough of the cult) I smiled knowingly and said, "To be clear." Well, enough said! It was a smile-fest of magnificent proportions as I turned and went on my way.
To anyone who's approached in that way and asked that question, now you know what to say.
Thanks for reading,
Mooch
