when i first heard about the inner workings via southpark, I thought, 'who would actually believe this crap?'

Then I reminded myself that most of us still believe in tarot cards, star signs, chinese zodiacs, palm readings and etc.

When you're exposed to it, and there are no alternatives telling you that this is 'wrong', your mind is willing to believe anything...

Well, take a look at the one guy in the episode. He leaves Scientology and can't deal with it, so he turned to Christianity. Basically a man desperate to find meaning and solace in something and will buy into whatever anyone is selling. Desperate people will believe anything because they have nothing to lose. That's why the Scientologists actively try to break people down at the beginning so that they instill that sense of despondency.

I just wonder how much of this film is 'undercover.' It seems to me that most of it is shot by a third person who is certainly obvious. Unfortunately, this whole clip makes Scientology much more important than it is, and therefor advertises it. A lot of people like getting mixed up with things that are obviously bogus, so pointing it out just lures them closer. All of these mind breakers need to be horse whipped and then eaten alive by fire ants.

You'd better download and save this for posting again on the Sift because my bet is that it's going to be taken down from YouTube post haste.

Just a friendly suggestion.
