Cool story time. I lived literally a block from that Scientology building on Tottenham Court Road for two months and quickly started not making eye contact and giving them an "all stocked up on crazy" stock response as I brushed past the people handing out pamphlets. Literally the only time they didn't even try to hand me something was the one time I walked past holding hands with my girlfriend. The guy took a half step forward, opened his mouth to speak, hesitated, and gave up without saying anything. So I guess gay is the antidote to Scientology. The more you know~

I lived across a Scientology building when I lived in Louisville. Those bitches were so crazy, I much prefer hot Mormon ass bugging me than those dead eye'd Scientologist.

At least usually with the Mormons if you ask them to go away they do. Scientologists are so much harder to get rid of.

And significantly less attractive, yes.

LOL. I once got religion-jacked at that particular Scientology church once- came out of the Tube and there was a woman with a badge that said Oxford on it doing a poll, and next thing I knew I had been swept inside to have my life's meaning told to me.

(Dixon, *I* knew there was a church there, and I live in ATLANTA. Cardiff is a hell of a lot closer to be informed on these matters.)

I think this was either the personality test or the preliminary to such a thing. They led me downstairs and tried to get me to sit and watch a video so I faked a phone call and said I had to go to an appointment I was already late for.

But yes, their conclusion was that I need Scientology. :P

I wonder if they still use that tactic? Oxford will happily become very litigious over that kind of misrepresentation.

This is pretty ridiculous, and shows why I don't like Scientology in the first place. HE CALLED US STUPID LETS GET HIM U GAIZ.

Not for nothing but a lot of religions (and I use that term very loosely about Scientology) get all defensive when they are maligned in public. Though Scientologists admittedly are a bunch of scary dudes who will go after anyone in the most egregious way for any bad press.

My favourite thing about the South Park-Scientology fight was Parker and Stone's Emmy campaign which included a giant poster saying "Come on Jews! Show them who really runs Hollywood!"

SCIENTOLOGY IS A CULT! *runs from lynch mob cackling*
