“DO, yourself, much MORE CHARGING, and you will WIN.”—LRH Among all the astonishing incidents I’ve been in at Scientology protests or pickets, this is astonishing. It was August 21 at the Vancouver org in the early afternoon, a perfect summer day and there were 8 or 10 of us, excellent wogs all, protesting our masks off. Except perhaps to quibbling orienteers, the org is on the northwest corner of Hastings Street and Homer Street. Most of the protesting, flyering, dancing, cake, etc. … [Read more...] about Advancing Religion

Declaration of Gerry Armstrong
I, Gerry Armstrong declare: 1. On July 12, 2008, I participated in a protest outside the Scientology operation at 401 West Hastings Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

I have attended similar protests outside the Vancouver Scientology operation on March 15, April 12, May 10 and … [Read more...] about Declaration of Gerry Armstrong

I’m also a songwriter, producer and recording engineer. I’m currently teaching at a recording school and very much … [Read more...] about Scientology’s Black PR artist
Vancouver tailing incident
During the March 15 protest in Vancouver, this guy was the main Scientology photographer, taking photos of the anonymous people and nonanons like me. He seemed to seethe, however, when I took his picture as he was taking mine. Also see my picket report. At the April 12 protest, when it was time to leave, I headed out with a couple of friends, who’d been watching my back, to whatever extent it was watched as I’d moved among the crowd. We walked a couple of blocks west on Hastings and … [Read more...] about Vancouver tailing incident
Vancouver Protest
I'm not anonymous, and don't even know an anonymous person by name, so I really was only an observer at the protest. If everybody but me at the protest was anonymous, then I would count myself on the anonymous side rather than on the Scientology side. The Scientologists undoubtedly numbered me among the people protesting their organization, rather than among themselves. Certainly the Scientologists photographed me, or had me photographed, just as devotedly as they had the anonymous folks … [Read more...] about Vancouver Protest
