    That looks like a fairly cheerful and positive scene.
    Talk about creating a mood in your advertisement....

    Dont attend this unless you know what is going on and have spoken to those organising. Trust me, you could f*ck this up for a lot of people.

    what i heard its a simple flash mob style thing. bring a mask and a sign that says free xenu! protest for 5 mins then leave?

    can it really hurt that much?

    I know the guy organising it, kinda, he's a friend of a friend, he's from Galway. Heard about it a bit second hand like, but it's like the OP said, flash mob and bring signs.

    Please stop posting this - it is NOT a flashmob.

    then what is it? tell us, you seem to know the most about it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    It says nothing about signs on the poster. If people make this cartoonish and treat it as a bit of fun then you will kinda ruin the point that the protest is trying to make. If you aren't gonna take it seriously and aren't there out of legitimate protest, it might be better if you don't go. Like someone else said in this thread, you could f**k things up for a lot of folks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 643 ✭✭✭Beelzebub


    Don't get involved in this, seriously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    What's the point?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭El_mariachi


    thought it was meant as fun but guess not

    QFT. Its as simple as this - Anonymous are doing a lot of things to make life hard for Scientology at the moment. Some of the things require just that - anonymity. The raids (or rallies) that are planned are legal, but one mistake could jeopardise the whole thing. Suppose a scientologist is there, and starts doing what they do best - annoying the hell out of you. They ask questions, they will question your past crimes, if they dont get a response, they will make up crimes. Anything to get a reaction. And they can get it. If you give them any just reason to threaten libel action - even slander - they wont hesitate. Scientology in Ireland may be a minority, but it is my no means a weak minority. And its not just Scientology that will be after you if you screw up.

    What is the point of any protest?

    Scientologists have ruined many lives, and extorted millions from their members. This isn't some dumb afro wig flash mob. Raising awareness and working against this dangerous cult cannot possibly be a bad thing.

    No matter how hard I try, I just can't take Anonymous seriously, if fact I can't take anything that puts on a big scary voice and says "we do not forgive, we do not forget" seriously, and I don't think it's being cynical to think that Anonymous is not doing this for anyone's good, people are getting way too caught up in things.


    This'll turn into just a regular protest and nothing to do with anonymous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    Sounds deadly. I'll pick up my sixer of dutch gold the night before. What's this protest about again? Ahh who cares, f**k the pigs

    The protest doesn't have to bee anonymous sanctioned or stamped with their seal of approval. Even if it has nothing to do with anonymous, it will still serve it's purpose, to raise awareness of scientology and it's dangers

    Well I have no objection to the protest perse, if it's not an "Anonymous" thing. i think it's a good idea, but the fact that it seems to be associated with Anonymous i find a bit dubious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭El_mariachi


    I think we should go to make a stand against Cos and make ppl aware of it

    but maybe on a different day (from anon) and when more ppl are around?

    Maybe the problem was discussing/posting in after hours. Its all very interesting but it would be better if we kept it clean, logical and focused debate on the issue, on the negative effects of scientology on people and our society, Also planning perfectly legal protests for those who are interested in partaking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman


    nice kids, theres protests everywhere

    The idea is to get leaflets to hand out to people about the dangers of the Cult of Scientology and inform the general public of their crimes to people who are in the cult and those who also oppose the cult.

    Altho, 11am? Wtf, Seriously. There is an 11am?
    /r/aid should be later and on a Saturday. Anon shall produce content. Keep your eyes here and also on the official partyvan page. Or I can throw you some info if needs be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    Some of the leaflets have already been produced actually, the main one being:

    and
    http://www.partyvan.info/images/d/dd/ScientologyXenuWarningPoster.jpg

    Everyone is free to attend, but just keep it dignified and mature. Dont give them any ammunition.

    Unfortunatley it has come to our attention that none of you really know what this is about, you do not understand the work of anonymous, also post #15 we severley doubt you know the person organising it, as the very idea of these actions is to remain anonymous, you simply know a child who would like to think they have involvment,

    this raid is not simply a 2-3 minute flashmob arrangment, infact there are no arrangments as of yet aside from the time, date, and place. the time and date to co-encide with the UK raid.

    all who wish to join our legions the information is available, go seek for yourselves,

    We are Anonymous
    We are Legion
    We are Everyone
    We are No-one
    We are coming

    Expect Us.......

    The same could be said of any religion of your choosing depending on your point of view. Although I can't stand scientology, this whole 'anonymous' thing is pathetic tbh.

    According to the irish census there are none
    But since there is a church in a dublin, there must be some right?
    The closest ive come to a scientologist was my lecture telling me her friend was a member of scientology.
    Id say 500 is a fair guess and I agree with Flunked

    Do any boardsies know any scientologist in Ireland?
