Scientologist doing a "Bookathon" on the 19th and20th of april!

If someone can get them cockslapped with the license thing that would be chill, cuz honestly I'd rather they go home than me come out this weekend

Agreed. Hopefully this will go out in private mailing (IRC summary), if not, when/if details are given, can you send me a PM? Or suggest that it goes out in private mailing if you are on the IRC (which I assume you aren't from your response).

didn't realize you were LA. You on ATH's mailing list?

Is that Mary DeMoss in the beginning of this video working the e-meter?
Why would they put her in this promotional video after she blew from the cult?
Are they really that stupid?

Guess they didn't want to throw out the Entheta with the bathwater

Yes, that's what I meant by whether or not the IRC was going to go out in summary, like the one a few days ago.. :D

Back from mini-raid in Perth, AU. No Scilons to be found - and we looked. Had a pint and then handed out ~500 flyers. Went into bookstores and put the bookmarks in various books. Public was very receptive to just a few people in masks.

One of us gave a stack of bookmarks to a girl working at a bookstore counter and she said she'd hand them out. Apparently her boyfriend has a mask just like ours.

re the video

the age-old, tried and true sales tech of putting the product in the customers hands, extolling its greatness, then taking it back. the ol'takeaway. out comes the checkbook.

this is a "religion" about as much as the kirby vacuum cleaner company is a religion.

Ironically I think the death of the book reading culture is helping us on that front, cuz their movies suck shit. I dare them to try and make video games. Left Behind: Tribulation Force anyone?

the $cilons don't care if the book is read. the $cilons want the money + the address and phone# off the check.

Right, but people read guilty pleasures, Scientology just isn't that spiritual flavor of the month anymore. Fucking the Secret is.

I am going to be at H&H as well as HWBlvd tomorrow for photo and recon.

Wonder what the Blackeyed Peas think of providing the Co$ with a theme song for their advertisement?

Some of the lyrics are pretty apt re: Dianetics/Scientology: Lose your mind, let's get ignorant, let's get stoopid, etc.

We had a silent 'cult-watch' protest at the stress-test cart in Plymouth (their main outlet for their books).

There were 6 of us, and 6-7 of them... and a total win for us :)

Enjoy the vid:

Has it been confirmed that she blew? Last I heard it was still an unconfirmed rumor. If she has, awesome, one less drone for the Co$, but would be nice to be certain.
