There are many other news reports about protests worldwide, but these were the first ones that came up on a search for me. By far, the largest protest worldwide was in London with well over 500 participants, but unfortunately, I haven't found any news articles about the London protest yet. According to various sites, the total number of protestors globally is over 9000 (no, I'm not repeating a retarded meme) with plans for protests in the future.

Personally, I think it's pretty damned amazing that such a decentralized group of people who until recently didn't seem to have anything in common actually united behind a common goal. I've read a lot of talking and nut-flexing, and was initially skeptical, but to see these protests actually happening on such a massive global scale, by people who, in all likelihood, have never met each other catches me as nothing short of incredible. I took part in one of the protests not expecting much, but we actually had 50 people show up to stand outside the city's scientology center (which is basically a one-story camelback house; really tiny) and protested for well over 4 hours.

Good. Now if only people would start protesting all of the other ridiculous religions.

That's just Mormonism and atheism.

I hate this whole internet vs scientology shit.
Especially sites like digg who masturbate daily to the voice of 'annonymous'.

Its pretty impressive that anything happened at all though.

You're right. It should expand to the world as a whole.

To be fair, the RDM didn't have much of a problem with Scientology until they scared Comedy Central into censoring one of the best episodes of South Park for fear of lawsuits.

That made it personal.

If you're ever REALLY bored you should try and find a documentary the BBC Panorama show did on Scientology. It's mental and they're fucking terrifying.

I don't know why I'm posting this actually, as there's billions of anti-scientology vids out there.

Heaping gas on the fire never did any harm, did it?

yeah but yuka YOU WERE NOT THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE INTERVIEW do you understand...

That was an awesome Panorama show though, the presenter didnt embarrass himself at all, and any reasonable person wouldnt put up with their shit like he didnt.

He nearly got fired for that outburst actually.
But god that guy was such an arse. "I'm angry! I'm angry!" Well whoop de fucking do!

Digging up people's pasts is just silly. So, he used to be a prozzie once, big fucking deal. It's cheap bullying tactics just because they said the magic 'cult' word.

"Cult" isn't the right word for Scientology, unless you take out the "killing yourself" part of the definition.

hating scientology is the new internet fad now that ron paul truly has no chances (not that he ever did have chances).

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 1:46 pm

Hating Scientology is cyclical. It only comes up when people don't have a better bandwagon to jump on.

That said, the RDM still hates Scientology, but not all the much more than various other religions.

I hated it before it was a fad though. Does that make me cool?

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:35 pm

No, you'd only be cool if you worked out a way to bring it down overnight.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:39 pm

Fine, but I want an endless supply of tea and biscuits to sustain me through that night!

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:43 pm

A night isn't endless, so surely there's a way to mathematically calculate how much you'll need and just buy that? It's cheaper than infinity.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:55 pm

But not quite as fun.

Well, yeah, by endless I just mean that I don't want to run out of tea or biscuits.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:13 pm

What if you just have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for your next course of tea and biscuits, like at the Olive Garden?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:25 pm

No can do! It's a one night deal, so I have to have my tea and biscuits being constantly supplied as I require them throughout the night.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:41 pm

You'd need the staffs of at least 6 Olive Gardens to handle that sort of operation.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:14 pm

Come on now. It's not like they've got a lot of tables to deal with. I'm only one person!

It's time we do something about the true scam cult. Yes, I'm referring to Adobe.

Peeking inside is free, but they only reveal what they want seen. To join their little cult, one must pay up at least $150 for the thinnest glimpse at the real truth (under the guise of "elements") and they won't stop until the delusional victim pays up the the $2500 for the entire "Master Collection".

Trying to spread the 'truth' without approval from the highest levels of the cult just leads to a massive legal assault.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:54 am

Yeah, that was one of the two posts I made at Sektor Seven. *Gasp* Maybe someone was impersonating me though. I would never have noticed for all the time I checked S7.

The devil that accidentally gave scientologists magic powers by killing all the space jews, yes.

Scientology owns your media. Admit defeat.

That's okay. We can still launch an offensive direct from SG!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 1:10 pm

SG should start its own religion. We need lawyers who are willing to sue any one who makes fun of it, though.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 5:44 pm

I'm not a lawyer, but I am willing to sue anyone and pretend I'm a lawyer. Also, I'm a lawyer.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 5:54 pm

We want to win lawsuits, though. Not just have them...at least scare them into giving us money without going to court. Any good religion needs tons of money to fund it for some reason.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 3:53 pm

I'm satisfied with simply protesting at the funerals of random people for no good reason other than to remind everyone that we believe they're going to hell.

You know, like those upright folks of the Westboro Baptist Cult.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:10 pm

Those people have to be the current most disgusting people on the planet.
