My Own Experience with Scientology

I just read Leah's book, and I wanted to come on here and share my very short experience with Scientologists.

I had joined a social anxiety group via an online website. I found one and the meetup was the next night, at a "Dianetics" building. I was instantly suspicious. When I arrived for group, I didn't pay any attention, because I knew it was all stupid.

After group was over, one of the "counselors" wanted to see me. I waited in the lobby, and everyone was sickeningly sweet and nice, asking me if I wanted coffee or water, and it made me SUPER uncomfortable. Once the lady saw me in her office, she started explaining the lame classes she was offering, before I cut her off and said, "I'm an atheist." She replied "That's okay, you can still attend a class." After trying to convince me to pay for a class, I finally looked her in the eye and said, "I'm not giving you ANY money."

Her whole demeanor changed. She got that angry look on her face, and I said, "Thanks for wasting my time." I left the place quickly. I just can't believe people are stupid enough to believe the cr@p they spew.
