This is a video of a conversation between a member of anonymous (who chose to reveal his identity and tape his student ID to his chest) and a scientologist at the February 10th Vancouver scientology protest. The scientologists were blaring the audio of scientology propaganda videos playing in the window of their store front to try and drown out our protest. so the first few minutes are a little hard to hear and there are some inaudible parts. I transcribed the first few minutes which are the hardest to hear below as best I could.
A = Anonymous
A2 = Another anonymous
S = Scientologist
S: ..it's free?
A: all services
S: ((inaudible))
A: I ((inaudible)) for it
S: No it's not
A: I can ((inaudible)) over here and I could have been offering people it for free
S: You're paying for it too ((inaudible)) you think you can go to church and ((inaudible)) come back across the street, watch out for cars buddy
A: you might want to give a..
S: What?
A: ((inaudible))
S: Then who pays for it? You pay for ((inaudible)) and that make it okay though, right?
A: It's not forced!
A2: That's what a donation is, it's not forced
A: ((inaudible))
S: Every church has the same similar goal, they fund themselves the same similar way, I just want to let this gang were all in the function, you gotta ((inaudible))
A: ((inaudible)) Not saying your ((inaudible)) is defective, I'm just saying, nobody ((inaudible))
A2: How much money have you spent on the church of scientology?
S: Probably more than you'll ever make in your life
A2: ...Seriously?
S: Seriously!
A2: So that's.. You've given millions of dolars to the church of scientology?
S: You think you look like a million dollar guy, but I'm sorry but you don't
A2: Umm.. My dads got a lot of money, so I've taken care of there
S: That's not your money
A2: No, but it'll still be mine
S: But you didn't earn it right?
A2: I'm wearing the suit, you're wearing the pleather jacket
S: Yeah, you're wearing an $80 suit, what are you talking about?
A2: Yeah, $80
((bunch of honking and loud scientology music - cut out for time))
A: ((inaudible)) One of the members of the church, their house was demolished. They raised money by donation to help that person out
S: We do that stuff
A: ((inaudible)) force
S: This isn't forcing, and you know what? When the ((inaudible)) they will (?take us all over the world?), to help pay for it, they do it through the ((inaudible)). That's good right?
I stopped transcribing here (1:45) because this is taking too much time, and the rest of the video is a bit easier to hear anyway
More interesting points in the conversation -
1:57 - second scientologist appears
2:20 - Anon brings up L Ron Hubbard quote "If you want to make money, start a religion"
5:05 - scientologist asks why it's not ok for their church to make money, when private businesses do so ("why aren't you picketing them?")
6:00 - Scientologist asks "Who has scientology killed?"
7:35 - sceintologist tells us that we are being paid to protest, thinks anonymous is a structured organization and insists we are being used (LOL)
8:38 - Scientologist offers to introduce us to someone who will provide all the information we want, but not right now
9:15 - Scientology doesn't kill people, psychiatrists kill people!
9:50 Other scientologist pulls their guy away - "we need your help doing something"
I have money from my dad but I can't afford a camcorder yet...
Come on guys. I respect the effort but get a camcorder for crying out loud.

yeah, well it was filmed on a cellphone, so there are a few parts that are hard to hear. But if you look in the description, I transcribed the first few minutes, and point out the most interesting points in the video below it.
