Generally, scientology does not proselytize for new members in downtown Clearwater.

They don't try to recruit new members — "Flag" is for existing scientologists who make the pilgrimage to hand over cash and participate in advanced scientology courses and auditing. In fact, scientology would prefer there were NO "wogs" (non-scientologists) in the downtown area at all. They want it to be 100% scientologists.

But there is a local "mission" in Belleair that is for "new people" who may be introduced in some fashion by scientologists in the local area (it is also where those who don't "qualify" to participate at Flag are sent).
