  . . . and by "cult" I mean any organized religious group outside of the mainstream--

  which one would you select?

  LET'S SAY YOU WERE COMPELLED to remain an active member for one year--which one do you choose and why?

  You won't believe this, but I think becoming a Scientologist for a year would be a lot of crazy fun.

  Why? The focus isn't on GOD or beliefs--not really--the focus is on YOU. All sorts of wickedly self-involving

  interactions with one-on-one "auditors" is very entertaining. Almost all the members are college age and very spacey/intelligent.

  There use to be (I don't think so any longer) a whole lot of celebrities in and out for high-profile conversations.

  You see, a close friend of mind (a dear friend, really) was a whacked-out Scientologist.

  He died in 1983 and not a day goes by that I don't miss him.

  His life was a mess--but--the only fun he ever really had was at the Celebrity Center in downtown Hollywood.

  I went with him once and it was like being an actor in a Sci-Fi movie.

  I WOULD NEVER JOIN--but--for a lark--if I had to belong to a cult for one year--that is the one and that is why.

  YOUR TURN.

  The Raelian Movement, guys.

  Founded by a dude who appears to have stolen his clothes

  after a stint as a extra on star trek. He's a Frenchman who used

  to be a cabret singer and a race car driver, a little cooler

  than a carpenter like Jesus or a jolly fat man like Buddha.

  All of this was prior to meeting an alien named Yahweh, who

  told him about the origin of mankind as well as offering him

  the service of several furturistic SEX Robots.

  Membership in the tens of thousands. That's for me.LOL

  Scientology would be too expensive. At least with the JWs, I could put nothing in the box and nobody would know.

  " The Family " with all that what they call flirty fishing.

  Mormons are super nice people too. Theology is laughable but I have never met one I didn't like.

  The Hare Krishna guy who chants on the corner near my work seems pretty happy.

  Sit around all day, chanting, ringing a bell....beats working. And knocking on doors for that matter.

  The Human Awareness Institute (HAI)

  It's certainly not main stream.

  Some do take it to a cult level.

  I'm curouse and I imagine I would learn to be more comfortable around strangers and in my own skin.

  Check out 6 Insane cults (that would probably be a lot of fun).

  #1 The house of Yahweh, Buffalo Bill said "Satan is a woman".

  I like the sex robot one. That means they probably won't expect me to cut my Johnson off to hop a comet.
