Upvoted for sharing unique experiences for their learning potential. I recall Luke Muehlhauser attended a Toastmasters meetup run by Scientologists several years ago when he first moved to California. This was unrelated to the article, but as an aside he discouraged other LessWrong users to attend any meeting run by Scientologists just because he did, because they are friendly and they will hack people's System 1's into making them want to come back, and even being enticed to join Scientology is not a worthwhile risk, and the best case is you might just waste your time with them anyway. I mean, IIRC, this was after Luke himself had left evangelical Christianity, and read the LessWrong Sequences, so I guess we was very confident he wouldn't be pulled in.

It's interesting that you went, but if you were invited by a stranger on a plane to this home, I hardly think you "infiltrated", as opposed to being invited by a Raelian on the first step to join them. I'm not saying you'll be fooled into joining, but I caution against going back, as you could at least use the time to find other friendly communities to join, like any number of meetups, which aren't cults. It's sad other are in this cult, but it's difficult enough to pull others out I'm not confident it's worth sticking around to pull others out, even if you think they're good people. When you get back Stateside or wherever your'e from, I figure there are skeptics associations you can get involved with which do good work on helping people believe less crazy things.
