Close encounter at the Kent County Fair
I went to the Kent County Fair to take some pictures yesterday and was most interested to find one of these
 Its a yellow tent, not in itself very ominous. Apparently 'Something Can Be Done' which is very exciting don't you think? Inside are some posters of attractive people carrying similar slogans and some people wearing yellow T-shirts all very corporate. I thought it was a renewable energy or neighbourhood watch promotion but then I spotted the offer of free stress tests and it clicked, IT'S THE CHURCH OF SCAM! Yep, at a little rural event in the middle of Kent TCOS have a marquee twice the size of any other exhibitor and although there isn't a huge amount of interest there are a number of people in there with the salespeople. Quite honestly I was astonished but a little research shows that this a quite a regular thing and they also attend the War and Peace show which takes place at the same venue. Also the War and Peace show have had a run in with John Sweeney famous for his outburst quite literally in the face of a leading Scientologist whilst he was filming them in the US, apparently the Nazi re-enactors (is that a word) at the War and Peace show out number the allies by 10:1 and Sweeney did a piece on this and surprisingly the organisers didn't like it! TCOS swooped in and now there are quite a few links including doing promotion at Hop Farm events :/ I'm stunned that such an organisation is allowed to take out a stand at a show where the primary audience is children  Thoughts?

So these 'Free stress test' stands on Bromley high street are actually for a church? Holy scam Batman!
What church is this then?

Meh, they've only adopted tried and tested techniques from the old religions and improved on them, the only difference between a cult and a religion seems to be the number of practitioners tbh.
