If you actually go into a center it doesn't sound that bad, at least when I went to see what the hubbub was. They didn't overly flaunt the fact that I had any flaws, just that I could stand to improve my overall life by attending some sessions. However they would not by any means allow me to leave without purchasing dianetics, or some similar book. I went with my GF and first they asked if I wanted it and I was like nah man I'm good on that, I got no cash. So then he asked if my GF can fund the dough Then asked if I got a credit card. Then asked if she has a credit card. He finally asksedif any members of my family could fund the cash to cop this book. It was pretty ridiculous.
