I've heard stories and the business model of when they get so much intel from you

and your personal life mistakes you made that when you want to leave,

it's a very difficult thing to do.

But that business model of confession is a business model from the Catholic Church.

It's actually, if you think about where does confessions go to?

If you're a Catholic and you're confessing, there's a curtain.

You don't know who the priest is on the other side.

The priest has quite a few.

Are you a Catholic?

No, I am not.

I'm Jewish.

So a Catholic priest has, you know, ethical standards that he must adhere to. He cannot reveal a confession.

He's still a human being. He's a sinner. Yeah, but let's contrast that with what Scientologists do, which is auditing. And this is a form of what they call spiritual counseling.

So you're sitting across the table from your confessor or your auditor.

You are holding two metal cans connected by wires to a box called an e-meter,

which is actually what could be seen as part of a polygraph. It measures nervous tension

in your hands. And the needle moves when you're nervous. So you're being asked questions by the

auditor about your personal life, your business life, whatever. And he has the advantage of not only looking you in the eye and reading your body language

and so forth, but seeing on the e-meter when you are nervous.

And so at that point, when he sees, oh, the needle's moving.

So this is confessions with the use of technology.

Yes.
