    If you want to learn about Scientology - watch the DVD going clear

    On HULU, they have a show i'm addicted to called The Path.

    I'm always on the lookout for anything that observes the psychological aspects (as well as the emotional impact stories) of cults. Just utterly intriguing how they come about to how they manipulate, etc.

    And y'all can calm down, I ain't doin this so I can figure out how to run one. I'm not @SlyPokerDog .

    So how much ecstasy did you take before the epiphany?

    It's not called ecstacy, it's called the bringer of serenity.

    Yep, absolutely fascinating. Scientologists, Heaven's Gate, The Process Church Of Final Judgement. The Manson Family.... took advantage of the mentally ill and abused in fascinating ways.

    "There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P. T. Barnum.
