Once you've become a member, they make it very difficult for you to leave. Next is a bunch of systematic bullshit that you also need "cured of", which comes at ever increasing cost to you.

The only problem for me is that these people on the street, doing the stress tests, are more often than not victims of this procedure themselves. So, while I think making their exploitation of the emotionally vulnerable difficult is a good thing, that's tempered with sympathy for them.

All sounds a bit "Gouranga" to me...

Those guys just want you to say "gouranga", though, not empty your wallet into David Miscavige's bank account.
