Why doesn't anyone pretend to join and sneak in a camera?


Those minicams and other spy equipments

The IMDB message boards you either die a good poster,or live long enough to become the troll

If you go to YouTube and search for *Scientology Undercover* you'll see a couple of things, but not of top people.

A full fledged undercover operation would be difficult, I think. Scientology is quite paranoid and they have their own surveillance systems and security protocols to ensure that they are not being infiltrated and spied upon.

I think you really need to be into it for awhile, spending lots of time and money, to really start to see things that are wrong with the cult.

You need to reach level 3 (that cost hundreds of thousand of dollars to reach ) before they tell you about the aliens.

You mean Operating Thetan (OT) level 3. There is much, much to do before you ever get there. See the bridge: http://www.whatisscientology.org/html/Part02/Chp06/pg0181_1.html

The left side is training as an auditor. The right side is what we are mostly talking about. Notice all the courses listed on the border of the chart. They'll take your money every which way they can. Then of course you will be told you did something wrong, so back down you go, only to be fleeced further still.

I imagine you'd have to be a really good actor to pull it off, plus they probably monitor for electronic devices. Someone did that on The Path (fictional show about a cult very similar to Scientology), he ended up somewhat sympathetic to their cause.

At "beginner class" you won't see much more than plastered smiles on robotic humans, slideshows and then after 6 hours of being bored to death, then comes the "ooh, we need $300 to help you get rid of these theatons".

Then comes my look. 😒

A person hates you because they either wanna be you, see you as a threat, or hate themself

I'm curious what all they do for 2 hours every single day. Don't they run out of material to read? Some of these people have been going for DECADES.
