How to deal with Scientologists

That is good.

I see that my unique solution to annoying proselytizing has been commented upon. I was just gonna say “your buddy Ed sounds like a man after my own heart.”

I’m ready for the next time I have a door to door evangelist stop by. I’ll just show him this card and say that I’m already saved, then shut the door.

And for the rest of your natural born life, and perhaps into the next one. Once you’re on a $cieno mailing list, they never give up, they never lose you. You can move and move and move and they’ll find you and send you more mail. They’ll try to get money out of you for courses, seminars, books, audio tapes, video tapes, DVDs (probably, nowadays), booklets, trips to Clearwater, auditing tests, e-meters for home use, training manuals, Hubbard lectures and on and on and on.

We had a neighbor who had the misfortune to get on their mailing list. There was a trash can in the apartment building foyer and he’d just throw the $cieno junk mail in without even opening it. We used to marvel at how it accumulated and how much there was of it. We looked at several envelopes (hey, it was thrown away by the receiver, so we didn’t think it was a problem) and would laugh. This went on for months. Then, when he moved out, the $cieno mail stopped even before his regular mail did. That was scary, because it wasn’t as if he was likely to call up the nearest org and say “hey, I’m moving, could you start sending the junk mail I’m throwing away without opening to this new address?”

Nuke them for orbit - its the only way to be sure.

I’ll attest to this. Once when I was young and foolish and a voracious reader I ordered some L Ron sci fi books by mail. It was before I even knew about Scientology and L Ron, I just thought he was a sci fi writer. They have been hounding me ever since and they keep finding me even when I move and don’t leave a forwarding address. They even got my email address, which I did not have at the time I ordered. I have blocked numerous Scientology email addresses and they still keep sending me stuff which I never open - I can tell from the address and the subject who it’s from.

Never ever give a scientologist any personal info.

Amendment: never give them your own:wink:

How evil!

Don’t cast them in any more movies, obviously. :smiley: Worked for Sumner Redstone.
