That's cool and all, but this story is about Scientology.

If you haven't escaped a cult you might not understand, but cults control their members in similar ways, and understanding how one operates will help you to avoid others.

Look up the BITE model

In a discussion about a cult

Brings up other, equally bad if not worse cults - specifically a Chinese cult

Whoa whoa guys, let's not get crazy - this is about Scientology, remember? America bad, amirite?

Hmm

The Chinese government hates Falun Gong, so if anybody has a pro-China bias, it's the person agitating against Falun Gong in an unrelated thread.

And I'm saying it's weird to try to shut down conversations about cults in a conversation about cults.
