this was fascinating! I am like you and I am susceptible two similar offerings. When I lived in LA I took a "free" personality test that was being given to people on the street, with an address of where to go to pick up results. Where to go was a Scientology location. I actually did several sessions with them because some of the work actually seemed potentially helpful. But when I tried to extract myself they were not about to let that happen and began contacting me at work, home, through people I knew. That was all in the very early 90s. After I left LA I figured they'd give up. Then about three years ago their magazines started appearing in our mailbox and Ky just thrusts them in my face and laughs and laughs.
But it is a fine line, right? and not a very clear one. That's what I liked best about this piece – diving into what's acceptable and what is over the line and acknowledging there's not a clear answer.
Oh my gosh! That's fascinating and also maybe scary for you at least at the time?
There's always a good hook, isn't there? Like some of the stuff they're saying/work they're doing really resonates. Why do they have to get crazy about it and hold people hostage??? The line is dotted.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I watched a scientology documentary recently. Interesting stuff.
