Homeless Scientologists?

Can you be homeless with no money and still be a Scientologist? I mean they have no money to leech off of which is the cult's basic mission. I know they have programs in prisons for drug-addicts where they give them saunas and shit but I think that just a good recruiting ground. And besides, the state picks-up all the costs of the prisoner anyways.

Unlikely scenario: Filthy homless guy walks into the big celebrity center in L.A. and says "Make me a Scientologist!" and squeeky-clean zombies rush to embrace him armed with E-meters.

No. I can't see it.

    Can't say what it's like now--only I suspect it's not too different from when I knew guys who worked at the org during the day and slept there at night. The few pathetic dollars they might earn would might go for food if they weren't always able to eat with someone who bought with food stamps. So, even if they can't sign the homeless guy up, they can put him to work at below-subsistence wages.
