If you're into the self help part of it, it's cool. But I managed to avoid the weird bullshyt associated with me being audited. They kept trying to get me to admit personality flaws that I didn't have so I left.

I was an auditor, got paid minimum wage and basically interviewed people who wanted to see what scientology was all about and did personality tests. You'll never pass that test, you'll fail and I'd recommend you join an expensive study program to become a better human being. I dated a blonde chick once, but she was too deep in it that I had to leave her and her family were high ranking people and were also

After I left they sent me a hefty $4000 freeloader bill. I never paid, I didn't have to.

I knew this fukknikka right here he had a cult/harem

Spoiler: dude

he had a public access show, a nice lil crib and a harem of about 5 women,
*Imma fiend for esoteric bookstores and the sweetest cheeba*...dude would be in the bookstores out chapel hill on franklin with a bytch damn near every time I went, once I had on a levis denim jacket with panther patches on it

he walked over to me and said "that's a nice jacket bruh, what you know about that?" I told him the jacket was my uncles and he used to fukk with the panthers heavy...I cant recall the name of the book I was holding but it was about the moon being artificial and this nikka knew all about the book...dude seemed cool af, like a regular conscious brother w/ locs trying to promote his public acesss show... his girl is the type that reckless eyeballs a nikka behind her nikkas' back...I told dude I was about to go smoke one before I call a cab to head back to durham...we agree to split the cab, dude lived 5 minutes away from me and he invites me in and tells me he has some Malachi York shyt I had to see, I smoke with him and 2 of his girls they match me and I hoofed it down the hill to my crib... later that night me n my nikkas laughed at his show ...I found it funny that dude was nothing like the cool conscious brother I just met...this nikka was militant reading from the bible and had another brother cosigning him like " You hear that...you hear that!! the lord hates these devils and they must be destroyed"

a few months later I turned on the tv and the local news was at dudes crib...the rest is history...this nikka tried to get off with a I'm crazy defense

I actually did join a cult. I did an autoethnography on a very radical Christian group that was accused of being a cult. I infiltrated the group, learned their secrets, and wrote an article about it. shyt was crazy. I knew they were trying to brainwash me, and they almost did. After about 3 months in the cult, I started to feel like maybe they were on to something. I got out quickly after that. They almost had me though.

shyt's scary how fast you can lose yourself. Anybody can get got.

I used to pass by this huge Scientology church all the time in SF. They had a sign out there to come in and take the test. I wanted to soooo bad just to see what it was all about. My man at the time was like

Still kinda wish I would have done it

Scientology is not to be fukked with. They brainwash like crazy. I'd be scared to be associated with them. After watching all these videos, it seems like they are REALLY good at doing their job. Having people leave their family, give up their fortune, become basically slaves, etc. I don't know if many are strong enough to withstand their pressure. They get you with that stupid machine that tests your thetons. You tell them your darkest secrets, supposedly in confidence, and then they say they'll tell everybody about them if you try to leave. Scientology is

 

[Ciggavelli]

Nope.

Try constant brainwashing for 3 months straight. We'll see how strong you are

Some of the self-help stuff helped me talk to women better, and with social interaction. I was an anti-social teen looking for a job when I first went in, now I'm a charming a$$hole, they teach you how to not take shyt so personal, handle conflicts etc. It's money-making culture that's the problem, they made us buy pointless books and don't focus on the good stuff. I don't consider myself a thetan or a ghost though lol.

Unfortunately I still get cacs coming to my door asking me if I'm interested in combing back for an auditing session. They're not going to leave me alone.
