Very good, and a good thing to study up and have truth ready at hand for people asking questions, cards and placards with different links is excellent, especially to some of the trial information @ Clearwater etc. There is a tonne of info out there, spread it around!
Anonymi attending a raid need to know the facts, solidly. The chances of someone like this asking questions is partially what's being aimed at, and being able to verbally answer them along with having a pamphlet will bring a lot more credibility to the table for Anon than saying WERE FROM EBAUMS LOL
Also, bigger, easier-to-read simple signs, spelling shit right, and not spouting obscure memes.
Anons, do your homework. Know the 'Four big points', and be able to engage passerby. Don't trust Americans to research stuff by themselves: we won't. 'Four big points':
-Fair Game Policy
-Operation Freakout
-Operation Snow White
-Lisa McPherson
Good job on the pamphlets. Anons, you will need it for any protest.
They did an absolutely horrible job of defending themselves and of making a case about why they were there. Honestly, to put yourself on the line against such an evil organization, you at least should know WHY you are risking this and be able to quickly make it clear to people randomly asking.
Jesus, guys. If there's a ton of idiots out there like this on the tenth, it's going to do absolutely nothing.
"Are you organized?" "kind of, we're from ebaumsworld." "go read a pamphlet to see why we are here because we are to stupid to have a dialogue about our cause."
I hear what you are saying Lid but how does a detractor catch them off guard? Did they not expect someone to ask them, "hey is this all about?"
You guys look like a bunch of idiots. Have some idea what you are protesting against or otherwise stay home. Scientology should be picketed for their crimes against humanity and shouldn't be taken lightly. You trivialize anti-COS campaigns for the rest of us.
For a lot of them, this was their first protest, and, like someone already mentioned, the woman probably caught them off guard. However, now we know what we could've done better in. Rather than beating us down, you should try to understand it from THEIR perspective. Thanks for the criticism though.
That woman who came up to you guys seemed to have a good point. You really need to come prepared to this kind of event, with all the arguments ready and rehearsed. Hopefully you'll have some ideas about what to improve for the next event.
Why didn't you explain to the girl about the Scientology's attempts to censor the Tom Cruise video? And their past litigations to silence detractors, e.g. with the critical YTMND videos and South Park episode? And their declared war on the internet back in the mid 90s? This is the internet getting revenge. Scientology has done more to try to limit free speech than any other group. Tell her that dissenters have been intimidated, spied on, followed, and even assaulted by scientologists.
Yeah, seriously. Any anons watching this, be prepared to tell people stuff. Don't trust Americans to look things up themselves, you need to know and be able to present to people yourselves. The BBC has quite a bit on their site (just google BBC and search for scientology on the BBC site), and wikipedia does a good job covering
You guys really gotta be answer questions better than that. She wasn't a scibot, she had legitimate concerns that you had "honk if you hate scientologists" signs and then couldn't really answer questions about what you were protesting.
If you don't want to come off as bigots you gotta be able to articulate the reasons Scientology's worth protesting, and a "ruins lives" catchphrase isn't enough to convince someone. Be prepared to answer those questions better on the 10th! Good turnout, though!
instead of this woman complaining because our signs weren't to her liking? why wasn't she out there trying to get the news out about why she doesn't care for $cientology. i actually DO hate $cientology for what it's done to it's own people and what it's done to my hometown and how they trample on my first amendment rights. i have a right to ask if other people HATE $cientology.
@fnshmetal: That is good to hear, people need to know what the Church is about and can express it clearly to everyone else...you should step up when someone asks about this.
PS: If you see any posters with meme signs or any that target scientolgists beliefs please ask them politely to put them down.
The people in this video represent a small few of us. I was there today and 95% of the people were very informed on what they were protesting and handing out prudent information on $cientology and their crimes.
To those in this video, Its not for the lulz... not anymore. Its to do whats right and to show the world what a group of dedicated organized individuals can accomplish.
That's an interesting juxtaposition. Incriminate yourself to a possible OSA or just sound really really dumb while spouting out nothing coherent. While the first would've been good for video purposes, the latter was good for covering your ass.
The picketing is for reasons that should be, by now I hope, well known & versed by everyone involved. Simply saying "For Lisa McPherson" and then dropping an web site that has NOTHING to do with the cause is straight up insulting to the hours others have put into getting this onto the right track. Get yourselves sorted or leave it to the grownups who don't stand there picking cheeto crumbs out of their goatee when a person with breasts is standing nearby.
This video illustrates the importance of bloody educating yourself thoroughly AND practising explaining clearly our motives -- before jumping onto the bandwagon and attending protests.
She was asking legitimate questions and makes very valid points.
If you're going to go to a protest and are going speak to the general public, you need to be able to say more than "we're doing this for Lisa Macpherson", or "scientology is bad".
Sorry for the negativity, but this was a good chance to inform someone who wasn't aware of all of the ills of the organization, and you missed it. That is what the protests should be about.
Can't edit, but I should have said "I don't think she's a scientologist", not a matter-of-fact "I don't think so." I'm not saying you're wrong, just that these are questions the general public will ask.
I was talking about the upcoming local protest with a couple friends a restaurant tonight, and a person in a booth behind me interrupted and asked the same questions.
People already know Scientology's a Bad Thing and a cult. It's our job to enlighten them beyond that point.
As in the means of them being very Controling and not leting members of the church to speak with there family. Their fair game policy towards people who try to fight them. Also that they steal the money of their members and harrass them with the personal information they tell during their audits. Just name a few , sorry for being boring with all this stuff just wanted to let out what i know so far
Clayton, shut up. Rehearsals would have been infiltrated by Scientologists as they did in Santa Barbara at a preparation meeting in time for the Feb 10th protest.
