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.

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.

    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?

    Jehova's Witness: "Hello, we'd like to talk to you about Jesus".

    Bernard Black: "Oh, I'd love to talk about Jesus! What's he been up to lately?"

    Until they figure out you are an imposter and kidnap you. These people are rather known for retaliating against members that quit at least, and have been accused of kidnapping multiple times.
