(I hope I posted this in the right place. I am not that computer-literate (yet))
I just wanted to post to say how much I enjoyed this show, and am looking forward to the next segment. Like many, I have recently become aware of scientology and its controversies, and it was fascinating to hear how a potential new member is regarded on the inside.
At one point I considered going into the building myself to get more information, but I have heard from various sources that they practise sale techniques that seem at odds with their claim to be a religion. I have also heard that once they have your name, address and or phone number, you can expect to receive a lot of mail and other contact from them, whether you indicated interest in their 'product' or not.
I am looking forward to the next segment, and especially to your experience with the masked protesters. I myself walked the scientology building on April 12 and saw the protest. Though the group looked somewhat intimidating, they seemed to be having a good time, and I was met with flyers and offers of cake. I did not understand why they concealed their identity, but a friendly young man took the time to explain that scientology sues any of the protesters that can be identified. Apparently a young man is currently facing charges for criminal harassment simply for protesting!
If this is the protest style of the new generation, it has my full support.

Lucy Hendren
