Tired bcause this capital exhausts you. Anyways, around noon I had a guided visit around the church of sc*entology. I actually wanted it to be kind of like a journalism project where I pretend I'm really interested and go to lengths to make my guide believe I really want to join right now.
What I did is sign up for a visit online under a fake name. I wasn't actually expecting to be guided, and if it hadn't been suggested, I would've asked to speak to a member. Upon arrival, I was asked to fill out a form, which I did under that fake name too. On paper, they ask why you're interested in sc*entology, with a couple of suggested answers to check. I played with my insecurities a bit and exarcebated them for this : I checked that I want to conquer my timidity. A confident older woman guided me through the videos on L. R. Hubb*rd, on dian*tics, purification and out of body experiences, then testimonies. I watched quite a bit of them. I found it interesting to see how they narrated the founder's life like he always was predestined to find a way to save the world.
To play my character wasn't so hard because of my lifelong interest for religions and my experience in a sect (but I didn't mention the word once. I think I should've tested her way harder). I said I wanted to better myself and that what I'd just learnt about sc*entology resonated with me. I couldn't buy the book she was telling me I needed, which again, is a mistake on my part. She was telling me I need to watch real news, AKA the sc*entology channel on TV, and she invited me to future conferences.
Questions I should've asked : what are your thoughts on your religion being labelled as a sect in France ? When did you join Sc*entology and why (she was intimidating and even simple questions like these seemed impossible to formulate) ? I'll think of more questions for another time
