It angers me both that they preyed on the 15 year old boy and the old man. Even if the man doesn’t go in or read anything, he will now be harassed until he dies. The 15 year old boy already has self-esteem problems, any 15 year old does. For them to prey on that is abhorrent because they won’t fix them, they will make them worse if he goes back. I hope he had a parent around who saw that happens and gets him competent help, not allows him to fall prey to quack pseudo therapy.

Two tips for talking to the Scientology street peddlers for when you wish to leave your conversation and get away from their clutches, these are exit suggestions how to get them to drop peddling to you:

1) Ask them did Xenu cause the Wall of Fire and see their reaction.

2) Ask the street Scientology peddlers if OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are the only way to get the body-thetans off our human bodies?

"Why doesn't Scientology have some crowd processing body-thetans exorcism, to speed up going OT?" "Like why aren't you guys doing crowd/group large more traditional church services weekly to remove all Xenu's body-thetans stuck on us, wouldn't that be faster?"

(In all my time wasted in Scientology, I never had and never saw others doing any discussion of the overall logical reasoning why the Hubbard exorcism has to be one on one, or done by oneself to oneself, and why not do the exorcism in group settings, like normal Sunday church teachings and crowd practices. Scientology does have "Group Processing" and has a whole book the "Group Processing" options. Why not expand and discuss group exorcism of Xenu's body-thetans? If they really believe in Xenu's body-thetans removal from each of us, why not do something more traditional, why make it so drawn out and individual? Why all the limitations, and why particularly limit the discussion of it? I knew when I first read the "NOTs Scholars" internet site, that it was tongue in cheek, but that principle of discussing spiritual nuts and bolts is a legitimate beef I always had with my whole wasted 27 years in Scientology, they simply disallow even tame neutral logical discussion of Xenu's body-thetans exorcism/freeing.)

If the organizers of the fair had to vette every booth, no 'psychics' or 'juice cleansers' or 'healing crystal' sellers would be in the show. The doggie 'sling guard' looks to be much more useful, compared to any $cieno 'service'.

Australia does not have the same intensity of exposure and word of mouth extant in the US or Europe. To bad.
