Over the weekend, the Daily Mail published a great little pulpy tell-all written by a woman who spent July 4th at a large Scientology compound in Florida that's billed as âthe Friendliest Place in the Whole World.' Here's the lede:
I'd been pinched â hard â in some kind of strange lie-detector test and seen rooms where people went to be âpurifiedâ.
Iâd spent an hour subjected to a gruelling and invasive âpersonalityâ test and revealed my deepest inner thoughts as if hypnotised.
Iâd also been invited to cross the Bridge To Total Freedom â but, in a panic, instead I found myself running away from Scientology as fast as I could â after just a day as a guest of the controversial religion.
Go read the whole thing, please.
