I stopped in at one of my old watering holes downtown yesterday. My favorite bartender, Mike, was working. Years ago, he overheard a Scientology enthusiast pitching to a friend of his on campus and extracted her from the danger. I've given him fliers and stuff, so he's pretty informed. He thinks it's funny, this guy, to introduce me to the patrons as a Scientologist. Yesterday was no exception. Sunday afternoons, the crowd is usually not local, it's an upscale mix of shoppers, moviegoers, and tourists. "This is Barb," he announced as I sat down at the bar. "She's a Scientologist." After waiting a polite nanosecond, two patrons quietly got up and moved away from me. The rest of them (from a safer distance) carefully avoided making eye contact or speaking with me. Too bad about the Asian couple, they were asking where an obscure sushi hole is, and I knew the answer. I did not wish to terrify them by addressing them! LOL!!!

every century, Scientology does weird and stupid things
to damage its own reputation."

"Comparing Scientology to a motorcycle gang is a gross, unpardonable

Scientology."
