19. Scientology: The Mad Picket
3 months ago
3/26/00 - When members of the LMT held a small picket in front of the Ft. Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, they were quickly outnumbered by Scientologists who had been holding a meeting in one of their buildings. The Scientologists try to provoke an incident to get us arrested.

    You guys are true heroes. I don't think I'd be able to keep my cool if faced with such extreme fanaticism.

    Bob Minton was a brave man. He took more punishment that most of us could endure. I have great admiration for him. He fought as hard as he could for as long as he could.

    Man those people are heartless. And mindless. I have no doubt they would have killed you all and not thought twice about it if they could get away with it.

    I know that Bob Minton lost a lot because of his actions against the ¢ult and I am proud of him for lasting as long as he did. I only hope that he is fully aware of how important it was and how appreciative we all are for his work.

    Amazing how they managed to turn a quiet protest into big news. Now, the topic will be more widely investigated by people who would not have noticed quiet signs! Excellent. You guys are my heroes!

    I love how that one woman keeps referring to 'your leader' and 'do what they tell you to do', 'your leader is calling you' and so on - they're doing exactly that, by being members of Co$. It just makes me so sad for them. They're so caught up in this garbage they don't even take into account what they're doing and that they're the ones listening to their leader, they don't give a single thought to Lisa McPherson and so many other people who've died, killed themselves, gone bankrupt and had their lives ruined by the Co$. You really have to wonder what it would take to get through to these people. I feel sorry for them. And that Ben Shaw guy looks like Dr. Jennings in Howard the Duck after he got possessed by the Dark Overlord. Creepy.

    Do they actually know what they are talking about? - Have they forgotten that their "brightest star" has just made film of a German war hero?? - I am glad to live in a country where these people are considered a danger to society and are under investigation. Thx for sharing such an informative video!And hats off to those of you who went through their verbal abuse. What a bunch of ignorant, creepy and vindictive people!!

    "Have they forgotten that their "brightest star" has just made film of a German war hero??"

    When the most famous member of your group is a cartoon character, and the second most famous is Bart Simpson; you have a problem.

    You guys stayed amazingly strong. Great job.

    It's sad to see that one of the cult members brought their kid with them into the middle of that crazy mob. She's visible on camera only for a few seconds at 25:48 and she looks to be only 11 or 12 years old. How any parent could bring their child out in that mess when such vulgar things are being screamed is beyond me. Apparently defending the cult and harassing peaceful protesters comes before being a good parent and protecting your child.

    lol if i was driving past i would assume the scores of agitated people were all protesting!

    please keep these videos coming, although i doubt much can be done for those in the cult it is important others see what kind of a person it could turn you into.

    It's people like you that give us all hope that the lies, greed, physical and mental harm the Co$ is doing will one day come to a close. This video just made my week!

    You and your fellow friends are superheros!

    Don't let ANYONE tell you different.

    This has to be one of the most entertaining raids I have watched yet, if only all of them were like this!

    btw Mark, I'm not quite sure but i think they were trying to tell you, "Think about your eternity" I could be mistaken lol

    If im not mistaken, Bob could imbezzle a couple billion from Nigera and have enough to buy a Starbucks Coffee and maybe a burger depending on the time he exchanges the cash.

    "Scientology. what are YOUR crimes?"
