    Funny but bad idea, helps reinforce the cult mentality for the members.

    Edit: bad because it reinforces the “world is against us, we have to stick together” mindset that cults will encourage already. I feel sad for the members that are in scientology and other cults/groups that prey on the lonely or gullible.

      “Random kids running through our building? Glad I’m in a cult!”

      Totally checks out

      They’re a cult, they’re happy to do that themselves, in fact it’s their whole thing. If anything, humiliating them in the public like this could make the scientology-curious think twice before deciding to become a member

      There’s really not a good way to reach out to current members. Hopefully this will weaken appeal and influence on out members.
