Where in Philadelphia am i most likely to run into you?

'Mac is a serial killer' is my favorite episode. That was some television gold right there. Thanks for being awesome!

I read the book "Inside Scientology" by Janet Reitman. It was an interesting book, but didn't go in to much depth about the motivations for people to become scientologists.

How did your parents become scientologists? I'm assuming they weren't scientologists to begin with and made the choice when they were adults. The folks managing memberships must be doing a really good job of selling the idea of scientology or there is something fundamentally different about the people who choose to join. I am more inclined it the latter. I don't mean to offend you or your parents; you were born into this religion and probably assumed it to be a way of life, like kids born into the "normal religions". I am really curious to know what scientology does for its members that motivates them to continue being members despite the high costs (other than spiritual satisfaction, which you can get from any religion i guess)

TL;DR Why do people join and more importantly when they do join, what keeps them there (even though its so expensive to become one and progress through its levels)?

How old were you when you decided to travel?

Do you have a girlfriend? if so, how does she deal with you being away for such extended periods of time?

If not, would you bring her along (in case you meet someone in the future, and she wanted to)?
