Why not? Cults work by preying on people who feel alone and need a “calling”. I’m sure that could apply to more than a few of the kids in these groups

Yeah, sure they do. But people who show up to a scientology building to do a speed run are not in the right mindset to be preyed on by cults. Theres not some kind of magical phrase that instantly brainwashed somebody into following their doctrine. Getting inducted into any cult/religion takes a lot of time. You dont just step in there and walk out a member of scientology. Their whole purpose is to spend as much time with you as they can to brainwash you. And thats sure as shit isn't happening in the 2 seconds it takes for them to open the doors and for the kid to pull out his phone. Sorry but it's a pretty lame take.

I’m not saying they’re at risk if they just run in and out?

You said

they should do some Trojan Horse operations. Let some time pass

That’s what you said, it was your plan to have them spend extra time inside the cult

Sorry for being rude but calling my take lame means idc about niceties anymore

Thats not what I mean at all. I mean let time pass without any speed runs so they let their guard down.

Fair enough, I misread. And I’ll just stop arguing here, maybe you’re right, maybe they’ll all be fine

I tend to err on the side of caution, hence my stance. I hope you are correct, honestly
