What happened at London's May 10 anti-Scientology protest

Someone had their "cult" sign removed by police, and summonsed to court. They definitely remained at the protest, as I spoke to them during the afternoon as well.

One done with and many more to go.

Really - you SUPPORT censorship? That's remarkably *cough* suppressive of you.

When you have an idle moment, please try to do an honest Doubt Condition on Anonymous - remembering that everything that the Church Of Scientology has told you about us constitutes "rumour" and can't be included in that.

(Also, why do you think David Miscavige has such a habit of abusing the staff at Int Base in Hemet, California? He swears at them all the time and often physically assaults them.)

[oschaper]

If you would take a look on my youtube site you will see that I very well support freedom of speech. I still believe Anon is a hate group in the way they act and present themselves to the world. From the start Anon has little cared about rights, laws and freedom of religion. Why not have some of your own medicine for a change?

[anonspangly]

Rights? Like a woman's right to choose to carry her child to term - but if she's in the Sea Org, it's expected as a matter of course that she'll have an abortion.

Or rights like not making children do hard physical labour when they don't want to? The Children's RPF does that - Jenna Miscavige-Hill, DM's niece, was made to spend her days in the blazing sun building brick walls.

Many of our members are Christians and I had a lovely chat with two Catholic nuns who attended the last London event.

[oschaper]

1. Any Sea Org member is free to have her children and she makes a personal choice which is not mandated by the church.

2. Mrs. Miscavige-Hill has been a brat. You should take a look what some Christian camps will do with the children they care for. I don't think is is wring to teach a child that work is a part of life.

3. Nuns are the best example, people that are not allowed to have a family, married to some imaginary husband. Christianity should clean its doorsteps first.

[anonspangly]

So Sea Org members are free to choose to not have a family by virtue of being in the SO, but Catholic Nuns AREN'T?

Seems to me like Anonymous is not the group with deep-seated religious bigotry.

L Ron Hubbard was on a psychiatric drug called Vistaril when he died - the coroner found it in his blood, and found needle puncture marks on his butt. At that time, Vistaril was prescribed for "adult psychiatric emergencies". He was also a wife-beating bigamist.

You're pulling us in! :)

How they choose to protest is beside the point. Besides, there is a very good reason to wear masks, which is that the CoS harasses its critics. Don't try to tell me it's not true, because there are many reported instances of this from multiple credible sources.

Sorry to break it to you but converting people to Scientology is not helping them. It just makes them waste their money on useless rituals that have never been shown to be effective at fixing any problem outside of church propaganda.

[kjhgl1]

I have made no such confusion.  I just happen to be talking primarily about organized (i.e. CoS) Scientology because that's what the protests are mostly about. You can be a Free Zoner then at least you would have done away with the evil church part, although if you do the church will condemn you for it. Still, it won't make any of the "tech" any more effective, nor will it make any of the claims any more true.

oschaper-

Scientology creates problems. It does not solve them.

[iPrae0nU]

scientology is a dangerous cunt... I mean cult

[djFrend]

Checkout brainwashing tech-niques. Many books on the subject. Surprising analogies with Scientology

[lewisduncan93]

LIES, LIES LIES.. LIES.... LIES!

Scientology = SUCKS

[rikhurley]

actually his sign read, scientology is not a religion... Dangerous cult, there as no it is, so technically it could be two completely unrelated statements...

[kjhgl1]

You too. Good luck.

[oschaper]

I'll guess you would have to find out for yourself.
