What Are ‘Scientology Runs’ and Why Is Gen Z So Obsessed With Them?
-
In case you’re still lost as to what the heck is going on, a Scientology Run is when people film themselves charging into a Church of Scientology building to see how far they can get before being caught and booted out. It’s a notoriously secretive religion, so it turns the whole place into an action-movie set piece where the protagonist is trying to infiltrate a compound while fending off its legion of foot soldiers, clad in terrifying white button-ups with black vests.

I've lived in their home town. Anything to annoy and distract them is a good thing.

Seems to me if you did some research, came up with a cover story and dressed the part, you could walk in and get pretty far before being caught. Just pretend you’re on your mission year, and wear a nametag.

I dunno. These are cracking me up for some reason and even though this article is a bit shallow, I think a decent point was made at the end: power charging religious buildings is kinda bad taste I think - even if Scientology is full of complete asshole weirdos.

This isn't a genz novelty, there were a lot of activism in the early 4chan days against Scientology. The whole guy fawks mask and anonymous thing started there.

Pretty sure they don’t do missions. They’re all about recruiting people for money, not righteousness.
Jehovah’s Witness are another that’s big on missions and door-to-door converting. Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?

Just need to look in David Miscavige's basement freezer.

Sounds like something a religious person would say to feel like their religion is more sensible.

Well the thing is, it's a cult.

It's pretty well documented that L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology to serve as a financial tool. Hence the financial controversies and the IRS battles from the 70s-90s

It's absolutely a cult. Ex enforcer Mike Rinder himself called Scientology an intelligence gathering organisation.

Came here for this. We had Project Chanology in my day. As long as there's Scientology, the youth will continue to milk them for lulz.
