We used to troll the free meals around Boston. Scientologists were the worst
but if you suggested that money wasn't an important factor in your life but
that damage to people and buildings wasn't something you were entirely opposed
to. They never tried to keep me in anywhere...
Krishnas were the best, super nice folks, better food and just a quick talk
about god and being nice to people.

It’s completely crazy. I can see how people can get sucked into it, there are
a lot of people out there who have needs I guess. The money aspect is wild.
My former wife told me that before I knew her, she was living in Boston a few
doors down from where the CoS had a building. They were always out trolling for
people, inviting them in for a meal and lecture. Being a college student or
shortly after, no money, she did that, free meal hey why not. After a few hours
(once in, you stayed) she tried to leave and they wouldn’t let her, doors were
locked (Fire code???). After some tussle and creating A Scene she finally got
them to let her out. Scared the hell out of her. Wild stuff.
I worked with this guy who had some occasional interaction with L Ron. He told
me that he had discussed this Scientology thing with LRon, who said the whole
thing was this giant hack he kinda did as some sci fi kind of mental exercise
(LRon wrote a lot of kitschy sci-fi novels, nothing very good but sorta
entertaining) just to see if he could get people to do it, invent some sort of
religion, and it really surprised him when it took off for real. I guess LRon
decided to roll with it, kinda live in this fantasy he created.
