17 year old Irish Catholic kid in the Service away from home, sure I checked it out.

40 years later however, after how many moves and phone number changes? I get a call from Scientology Inc.

Click.

C'ya.

Anyone else?

No, I avoid murderous faux religions.

But scientology, especially with this, is the creepiest.

Even the Mormons and J-W's avoid my house.

Holy Church of the Paved Cone is the only one for me!

(And Pastafinarianism when it's dinner time)

Answering the door naked seems to help keep anyone from coming back

Once had someone try to recruit me to become a Hare Krishna while I was at OSU, that was a wee bit weird.

I used to enjoy being scary/abrasive, but anymore I'm starting to think the scariest and most discombobulating of all is an example of a well-adjusted, friendly person who's not a member of the poor missionary-kid's sect...

Or maybe there's something more intrinsically creepy about me/my house. Nobody's tried to sell me a belief system in a while now...

Props to them for some awesome list management, though.

Scientology makes a hell of a punchline, but the church has done some not at all nice things that more people need to know about...

Operation Snow White

Operation Freakout

They get one polite no thank you and then I hang up or close door if they continue.

My favorite thing was driving past the scientology building on columbus and kearney in san francisco and then honking at the protesters and seeing them go wild for a few seconds.

Best I ever did was when I was engaged to this wonderful Chinese girl. The Local Baptists came around and she answered the door... in Chinese.

I wish cell phone cameras would have been around then, the looks on their faces was priceless

Did they want money from you?

I got my first "alumni begging letter" a good 2 months before I graduated college, more than 25 years ago. At that point I instantly decided I was never giving them another dime. I've moved 4 times to 3 different states since then, and I've never told them anything... yet I still get begging letters at least once a month.

If there's money involved, they will berking FIND you.

I'll hail anybody who can give me a rocket powered spaceship that looks like a DC-8. Please put the king sized bed in mine.

I prefer how Malcolm Forbes gets around.

I believe the previous Capitalist Tool was a 747.
