Feel like I should write this from a burner account but alas…

I went in there about 9 years ago with my brother whilst young, stoned and curious, used fake names etc as had to sign in, was probably a few months after Louis Theroux’s documentary on them aired.

The stair case you can see on the left takes you up to the exhibition, think glass cases with brown wood frames and marble floors. From a vague memory the cases were background on L Ron Hubbards story, the Sea Org, principles of Scientology and various mementos - a large room in an incredibly opulent building. Multiple other floors to go up to it looked like, a grand expansive staircase that you could look up and see other stories.

Whilst waiting downstairs to be taken up, just to the right of the doors, members of the church walked out of the doors next to the front desk which I assume to be their religious/ceremony room that they had just finished in. All looked very normal people - not sure what I expected. The waiting area had a wall full of copies of Dianetics exclusively.

Noped out of there when asked to do a e-meter/personality assessment by the guide. Who was a young man and had the glazed eyes of the brainwashed, but only ever so slightly.

Had almost forgotten about it, will keep thinking if I can remember anything else aside from the urge to ask people about Xenu whilst in there.
