What goes inside the mind of a person who converts to Scientology during the time that they convert?

100% peer pressure.

"Some of my friends do it "

and if a vulnerable celebrity
"this will give me good publicity and give me a place to hang out with normal people" LOL

aw....

(censored)!!!

This was described in a recent news report in Canada, where the J.E journalists have been doing a lengthy investigation of Scientology (they even used hidden cameras).

They feel shaken, exhausted and disturbed. A journalist reports thinking "Oh my God", and feeling a kind of bad and powerful reaction while doing their courses. This is intentional, and was designed that way to make people experience an euphoria after wards, according to Professor Stephen Kent. This is why they practically become addicted to their auditing.

I grew up in Scientology and went along with the idea of going along with things (what my parents said, school, Scientology, doctors, what the media says, etc.) because people proposed that they knew best. At one point, I realized that a number of ideas that I had been operating on were based on faith. I didn't like that, because I couldn't sell myself on an idea that largely revolved around faith alone, let alone someone else. I decided to inspect everything and not take anything as a given. Scientology has a principle: "what's true for you is true." In other words, "don't take my word for it, find out for yourself." So I kicked the tires of Scientology, and going in with a skeptical mind, I found it to be incredibly effective, completely logical, true and produce amazing results. It takes a good, solidly scientific theory to stand up to that kind of scrutiny. I'll take the 5% jump (not leap) of faith in Scientology as long as it comes with 95% demonstrable fact that is more effective and safely solves more real life problems than anything out there. Most people start out the same way and gradientLyo from "not sure" to "complete certainty" 1) "Maybe, but I don't know about this." 2) "Seems logical. Could work." 3) "Wow! This is fact! This stuff is like bottled lightning! Look at the results this theory/tool is producing!"
