Thanks for your view on this. But....as for people using their "own brain cells", well, those who are lonely and lacking a sense of purpose, are easy prey for those with a good story line and a convincing attitude. This is not only the approach of any religion, or cult, but also political organisations.
As for Scientology, many who have left and now tell their story, they say that the main attraction was this promise of comradeship, and doing good work for humanity and the planet. And that´s a big attraction for many!
Thanks Tara. I know a guy in Fla who lives near Clearwater. Actually, he would make a perfect candidate, apart from the fact that he hasn´t got any money.
I think they recruit by seeking out the lonely and gullible. Also, those from other religions.
But, I DO know that some also join dating sites for the same purpose.
Sorry Tom, I wasn´t scolding you at all, on the contrary! I am very grateful for your comment as I couldn´t be bothered to write the whole description of it.
Yes, I do know the history of it, Tom. Only I came across it a while ago as many people who were Scientologists have come out and told their stories.
It is not a religion, but a CULT! People who join don´t even know what it´s all about until they reach a high level.
As for Tom Cruise, well... he has been brainwashed so much that he will never leave. Besides, he gets away with a lot because of all the money he has given to the church.
Could be to do with age, Or...because certain things are not that important to remember.. In which case I have a "selective " memory but not consciously.
The brain will only store certain things in the conscious mind... While unimportant things will be stored in the subconscious.
