FREE STRESS TEST
ever see these signs/booths/tabLes at the train station? or the maLL?
or anywhere?

usuaLLy the most friendLy peopLe in the worLd work the tabLe... and they Love, Love, Love coLLege kids and teens as that usuaLLy seems to be the age bracket of the crowds they draw. every time i see them, and kids taking the tests, i want to stop them; grab the kids and teLL them to watch out; knock their tabLe over and throw their shit in the street; or set up a sign/tabLe next to them informing peopLe what they're actuaLLy about.

do you know who/what the stress testers are?
maybe more importantLy if you do, do your friends/kids know?

39. I have an ex who was a magnet for them.
When we went out together I attracted more of the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons but it was funny to see Scientologists flock to him on a nearly daily basis. When he pointed this out to me I told him to stop dressing like he had money.

7. I bet I can find a link to the
"answers" to their free stress test.

Then again, they'd probably still try to reel you in.

10. Saw those fuckers at the mall
Was with friends, so I didn't confront them other than saying "xenu". Blank look. They probably don't know about xenu yet. Confronting them won't really work anyway - they are trained to act like robots.

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/People/dst/Library/Shelf/xenu/xenu-05.html#TR1

George sat beside me and put an ashtray in the chair across from me. I read the instructions in the bulletin. Taking the ashtray in my hands, I shouted in the loudest possible voice, "Stand up!" Then I raised the ashtray off the chair and held it in midair. "Thank you," I acknowledged the ashtray. "Sit down on that chair!" I shouted, lowering the ashtray back to the chair. "Thank you!" I shouted again.

"Not loud enough," George looked at me. "I don't feel your total intention. Theoretically, if you do this drill with complete Tone 40, the ashtray will rise by itself off the table. When you give the commands, you can have no other intention than the commands. You're still somewhat self-conscious."

He was right about that. I couldn't believe I was sitting here yelling at an ashtray. But if I had to do it, I was determined to do it well. So I yelled even louder. "Stand up!" I screamed, raising the ashtray off the table. "Sit down on that chair!" My voice was getting hoarse. I lowered the ashtray and looked at George triumphantly. "How was that?"

18. $cientologists...
'name the three things that most trouble you. Now take this little test...it's called the "Oxford Capacity Analysis" (has nothing to do with Oxford, and doesn't measure anything). Hmm. Well, you have problems here, here and here...but $cientology can help you with that. Why not come in for an auditing session?'

29. Once upon a time in Amsterdam....
...I was exploring, walking the streets in the rain. One of wee little Tommy's freaks approached me, asking if I wanted to come inside for a free stress test. To get out of the wet and have a quick sit down, I went along for the craic. Said I was Swedish and took the test in Swedish (Jag pratta svenska.) It's easy to see where the test was leaning. In the end, they said I was very stressed out. Actually, I was quite relaxed (without patronizing any of those coffee shops with the funny leaves on their signs - not for me, matey). Anyway, they wanted me, a poor traveller, to cough up my precious guilder to haul around a bunch of their books in my backpack. No way. The wet had ceased, so I went my merry way.
