@roadriverrail Back in about 1990, when I was 15, I got interested in Dianetics from the old volcano TV commercials. I was into reading a lot of pop psych and self-help at the time.
At some point I took a sidewalk personality test in Royal Oak, MI, where there used to be a Scientology org. From there, I got suckered into a $150 course on self-esteem and assertive communication.
Ever since then, across at least 12 address changes and 3 states, they have followed me.
