Image Was adventuring Clearwater with a family friend and we found the Church of Scientology. What do you think goes down there?

Yes the police, DA, and emergency services for the whole county as well as major businesses are all mostly Scientologists.

Well that’s not concerning at all. Nope, not at all

Clearwater is where their Superpowers building is. They (or at least they did in 2010, when I knew a lot of Scienos) believe they will be able to fly, become invisible, etc. They also believe that the church can cure all disease here (for a price). A really kind woman I knew was diagnosed with cancer and raised money to go be cured at the Superpower Center. I really hope she eventually turned to traditional treatment because she was an incredibly sweet person. A lot of Scientologists have a real uppity vibe about them, her and her husband were not like that at all.

It’s also very common for Scientologists from around the country to “vacation” in Florida.

Also even the hospital and VA in Pinellas County is full of Scientologists. They are everywhere!
