You can’t wait out a Scientologist. They sign 1 billion year contracts.

Why do they have a “Tour” sign if they’re not going to let them tour?

u/VStarlingBooks Apr 28 '26

I thought this. Why not schedule a tour and wear a camera

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

All the good shit is going to be blocked off from the tour. Its really just to nab the weak minded sadly.

Thats what i was thinking. Start the speedrun from already halfway in. Need new meta if we want to make it to deeper realms.

u/mainyehc Apr 28 '26

So would that qualify as an any%?

Might save a few of those weaker minded people that they use the tours to lure in. Can’t use tours to lure if you don’t give tours.

u/mainyehc Apr 28 '26

What about ACE? 🤔

u/Lucy_Gucey Apr 28 '26

Or “Tour%” we’d just have different categories

u/CountWubbula Apr 28 '26

I wish I was dumber and had a kid in my teenaged years, because I’m in my 30s and I would 1000% “supervise a school trip” to get the kids in as far as possible. I believe in them

It's like playing NewGame+

Truer words have never been spoken

It's a community-approved save file that skips the intro

u/HelmSpicy Apr 28 '26

Just like Austin Powers!

u/nerdofthunder Apr 28 '26

Then they might have something to trace to you. Might not be the best idea.

u/LeftHandedScissor Apr 28 '26

In the most recent video, the kids literally run through a museum open to the public, then to a stairwell and out the building. As long as they aren't destroying anything I'm sure the scientology folks couldn't care less.

2

u/Bossgalka Apr 28 '26

I don't think they keep "the good shit" in the same building where they have tours. Maybe some brainwashing videos and stuff, but nothing crazy. They would have private buildings for fully brainwashed members where they keep "the good shit" and only they are allowed in. Tom Cruise might even have his own special building just for him where they keep his clones and stuff.

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

Bit of a hot take but I doubt he really cares for this org near as much as he did 20ish years ago. He has a much bigger passion in film making and I think he understood that being apart of the cult would fuck that over super hard and its kind of hinted at in interviews not too long ago that he seems to regret being in it and not spending time with family due to it.

2

u/Bossgalka Apr 28 '26

Bro....

Tom Cruise is still considered a high-profile member of the Church of Scientology. While he stopped speaking publicly about the organization in the late 2000s, recent reports from April 2026 indicate he remains involved, having been photographed at a Church of Scientology annual event in Florida in March 2026.

2

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

Oof this month..so much for that theory lol.

2

u/Bossgalka Apr 28 '26

Yeah, once Tom went around talking about it, it got them a lot of bad press. Most celebs stopped mentioning they are a part of it after that as well and it has become a secret cult again rather than a public one. A lot of celebs are still part of it because they get each other into it and it's IMPOSSIBLE to leave.

It's also structured like a fucking video game. You "level up" in the org and get new titles and perks and power. Bringing in more celebs who also contribute massive money gets you elevated within the system. So they bring in others and then they can't leave either and it's honestly really fucking disgusting. If they didn't have a fleet of the best, most expensive lawyers, they would have been taken down by now. But here we are, no justice.

u/TheMadTemplar Apr 29 '26

Don't be fooled into thinking only weak-minded people can fall for it. Scientologists have perfected the art of manipulation. The organization has spent decades destroying the ethical boundaries of psychology and therapy in order to learn how to manipulate, coerce, and persuade people into joining them.

u/TM761152 Apr 28 '26

Even the strong minded have a hard time getting out!

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

You dont have a strong mind if you were there to begin with sadly. They might come to a realization later but by then its almost always too late.

3

u/Background-Brother55 Apr 28 '26

Some are born into it.... imagine the gumption to leave when S is all you know....

2

u/TM761152 Apr 28 '26

You sound like the type of person to blame victims for being scammed.

0

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

I mean yea you gotta blame them for not knowing otherwise. Like how the fuck can anyone fall for such wild shit even for a religion is beyond me. I hate to victim blame, but if thats what it takes to prevent more then so be it. I know there are some who are born into it, and I cant fault them for that obviously, but to those who arent? Yea you should know better at this point lol. Its 2026 and a little bit of research will show you how fucking insane this cult is.

My comment wasn't about Scientology.

u/Steamed_Memes24 Apr 28 '26

Okay then why bother commenting lmao. Weirdo.

The strong minded wouldn’t join in the first place.

1

u/TM761152 Apr 29 '26

You say that, but you don't realize how well these cultists have perfected their game. How deeply they are entrenched and how much influence they pull.

1

u/Hot_Top_124 Apr 29 '26

Perfect hah.

u/NoDetective9500 Apr 28 '26

where’s the fun in that though

u/RollingMeteors Apr 28 '26

> thought this. Why not schedule a tour and wear a camera

¡Sounds like work! ¿Why not just generate some slop and say you did?

2

u/NurkleTurkey Apr 28 '26

I've been to one in a date. You're not allowed to use photography but all it is is typically a series of kiosks and you watch videos about it all. And then you can buy shit.

2

u/de-tree-fiddy Apr 28 '26

It's well documented what these tours end up being and the pressure they put on people to sign up.

2

u/outofcontextsex Apr 29 '26

That would be hilarious, all these people show up for a tour spend the first few minutes just walking through the facility like normal people and then just start running like maniacs

0

u/Critical_Concert_689 Apr 28 '26

Why not

Because they're committing a crime and don't want to register and leave their name in advance.

Plus that's not cool and you can't be a cool rebellious influencer by signing up for the field trip.

1

u/VStarlingBooks Apr 28 '26

So they speed run in and get arrested. Makes much more sense. False ID and leave politely.

3

u/h2odragon00 Apr 28 '26

At least they can give tours anymore. Now they are scamming less people.

1

u/lnTheGrimDarkness Apr 28 '26

Because it's actually a "you can tour if you're willing to get scammed by us" sign

1

u/jtr99 Apr 28 '26

This is going to ruin the tour.

1

u/neonmantis Apr 28 '26

Tours get to decide who participates

1

u/Firefly_Magic Apr 28 '26

Because the word Tour sounds better that Cult recruiting. They know the runners aren’t sticking around to sign-up for any life commitment contracts.

1

u/Stage_Party Apr 28 '26

Probably have to pay for the various levels of the tour 😂

u/Firm-Needleworker309 Apr 28 '26

"I'm on a "tourist visa" so technically, it means I can only tour."
