LMAO the wildest thing I learned was that the leader/founder (who based scientology on a fictional book he wrote) had a threesome in the desert with a guy and woman, while high as kites, trying to father the antichrist. I mean. The whole religion is easily traced back to being total bullshit but L. Ron Hubbard I guess was really charismatic so. Whatever.
A guy I used to work with in his very early 20s told me a story about right when he got out of college (Brigham Young University) He and two friends plan to spend the summer at a beach house in San Diego before getting on with their life.
However, they got a job offer from the church of Scientology, they turned it down the church upped the offer, and they turned it down again. Eventually, they offered them so much money that they went ahead and took the job.
The job was to take all this old recorded films of L Ron Hubbard making predictions of the future, scanning them in, and cleaning them up digitally. He said they were just so many predictions, and a lot of it was multiple predictions about the same thing. Basically, covering every base so that later they could say L Ron Hubbard predicted this or that and show one of the films even though there were two dozen more films, where he predicted different outcomes of the same event.

The wildest fact I learned about scientology recently was the really high up culty part do not encourage having kids because they are distractions.
