Alright folks...you have waited breathlessly for this fan-freaking-tastic set of pictures. HERE THEY ARE! Your agonizing wait is over, my friends! My personal fave is the Scio taking a picture of me taking a picture of her. It's so wonderfully symbiotic!

Marlys,

Awesome pictures and awesome work. Keep it up. You are an inspiration to all of us.

My 2 cents.

marlys, great job with the picket.

My only caveat is the message on your signs. I think "Scientology is an alien cult" is the wrong way to go about it. Many people have already heard this from South Park and elsewhere. It also isn't going to dissuade newer members because they don't know anything about Xenu, and they think you're blowing smoke.

If I were doing a picket, I would use a message that draws attention and makes people wonder more about what you're saying. I would focus on the immediate reasons the CoS is evil.

e.g.
"Scientology murdered Lisa Mcpherson."
"Scientology swindles people out of their life savings."
"Scientology practices psychological manipulation."
"Scientology has an unfair standing with the IRS."

I have never picketed but that is my 2p.

...Event: When you come to the picket, you can carry your own damned sign. Otherwise, you have no room to suggest, from the comfort of your overstuffed chair, 'better' practices for those who were on the front lines.

Marlysfan, you guys are so cool. I think everyone should get out and picket. I have no doubt that it opens peoples eyes, and stops people from getting sucked in. Keep up the good work.

Edit: Also, it looks like the sign says, "Honk if you think Scientology is a Cult," which I think is a great message.

CTTE-

First of all, thank you for the sign ideas. I have been thinking of making a good Lisa Mc Pherson sign; I would love to use the autopsy pics, but there are a lot of kids in the area, and I didn't think it'd be appropriate.

I stand by my signs. They are invariably honest.. I don't need to put a public- friendly spin on it. I am not trying to advertise; I'm only here to speak the truth. If one person hears what I have to say and avoids the CoS, that's enough. Period. That's my mission.

BTW, do not take this personally AT ALL. I enjoy your posts quite a bit! Also, I appreciate your contributions to the crude cartoon thread.

Also, all the gangstas up in the OCMB givin' me MAD props-I give a shout out back to y'all.

-L

i am curious, what is the activity like at Kansas City Org? It looks like they sent 3 handlers out to counter-picket. How many staff would you guess there are during the day? How many students going in and out, or cars parked? Does CoS own that entire building and lease to H&R block? Is the 2nd floor a part of the org?

This is all good information to post under Org Patrol.

Quaoar, grow a thicker skin perhaps? my intent was not in ill-spirit. I believe in system of open dialogue and criticism, rather than repressive honor system (e.g. "who are YOU to say anything"). Why not attack my idea if you don't like it, rather than me? That said, i could have worded my suggestion differently. It was not meant to insinuate anything.

Daisy, I was using edited (mostly for length) versions of two fliers-

Arnie Lerma's "Psst...hey buddy, wanna buy a bridge?"-

http://www.lermanet.com/cos/motivate.htm

Someone's "Scientology is Anti-Gay" flier-

marlysfan, and picketers;


GREAT JOB!!! :alien: :cheers:
:yeahthat:


Re ....the signs, here's how I feel:

Make up a sign, one you feel good about, and get out there
and picket. There is NO perfect message. The ones you suggest
I could pick apart, too. The point isn't so much what you say,
as that you ARE saying something about Scientology, and
their abuses. The rest
is reallly window dressing.

Also, make sure to pass out flyers. Kristy taught me that up in
San Fransico. Here line is: "Find out about Scientology, it's worse
than you think".

Now I find many people will say, "Oh I KNOW how bad it is".
So I Then say, "Take a card and pass it on to someone considering
joining Scientology---so they can learn both sides".

They almost always take a card with that.

GOOD JOB~ :wink:

As usual, this is very useful advice.

To marlysfan and the other picketers: :thumleft:
