It's the stuff of memes. Everyone wants to talk and laugh about the strange presence of Scientology in the world. However, despite its supposed prevalence, which I find sufficient to make an instance for it (might/would explain some of the commotion and rumors going on) which is an inevitability, few people ever discuss knowing any Scientologists (often in the process of forgetting that, in the end, they're just another group like any group, minus peculiarities). Do you have anyone in your life, be it a friend, family member, or someone in your community, who is one or thought to be one?

Same. Those are ultra common here. Enough to know Jehovah's Witnesses stopped visiting people in their homes a few years ago. These days they pretend to be your new neighbor and give you an "invitation" to the places they like to go.
