How to prank a telemarketer
OK, this is one of the funnier pranks I've ever heard. There's a guy who likes to prank telemarketers. They deserve it.
Link here. Has sound. No pictures, just sound.

here's a legit "why don't you wiki it" question, [which I already did] what is the difference between Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Scientist and Scientology which is L. Ron Hubbard right?

If you checked Wikipedia, how could you possibly be asking the question?

I was hoping someone could summarize it in a more definitive, concise manner than scrolling though pages of subsections.

Christian Scientists have reading rooms. Scientologists believe in aliens.

Wait, those Scientologist store fronts aren't reading rooms, too? Next you'll tell me that the stress test isn't a genuine diagnostic tool. |

Did Jenna Elfman go to BU? She was cute until I found that out.

Christian Scientists don't believe in modern medicine vs. Scientologists don't believe in psychiatry? |

No, there are a couple of Scientologist storefronts in Chicago that I've driven past--complete with banners hawking the "Free Stress Test". Don't have those in Boston? |

A friend of mine married, later divorced a Scientologist. She's terrified of them.

Not that I've seen. Then again, the Scientologists have been keeping a low profile after all the hullaboo of the Silber/Boston Herald years.
They did paper the cars in my neighborhood with the 'detox yourself' flyers a few weeks back. I wonder if any of the drug dealers called. Me? I'm happy with my toxicity.

Years ago I read the tell-all book by L. Ron's son. That's some scary shit. I don't know how/why people fall for it.
ETA: I think it was this one. Not written by his son, but if I recall correctly he had left the fold and plays a big role in this book. Then again, I am old and read this over 10 years ago.

Maybe they are what pass for "churches". I haven't paid much attention, other than to be amused by the "Free Stress Test" banners. |
