Re: Ideas for picket signs... I'd love to see a huge group of Anon with one person holding a sign saying
Re: Ideas for picket signs... I'm going with: SCIENTOLOGY IS WORSE THAN YOU THINK! with the WORSE underlined and the XENU.NET url on the bottom.

Re: Ideas for picket signs... DIANETICS TODAY XENU TOMORROW or DIANETICS TODAY BODY THETANS TOMORROW or ASK ME ABOUT THE DIANETICS VOLCANO [the volcano was Hubbard's subliminal message ploy to "raw public" to get people into hypnotic state of mind to follow Hubbard up the Bridge to Total Freedom]
Re: Ideas for picket signs... East Coast SP Conference 2007 Part 1 last summer's SP conference at New London, CT, Xenu dolls with their own signs "Scientology Works" and "I'm a Scientologist" in keeping with the old pro Scientology signs and T shirts used in the pro Scientology protests of the 1980s.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Good one! Can be shorter: SCIENTOLOGY IS ABOUT CLEARING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT I'd like to urge everybody to consider context - assume that few, if any, staff members are going to read your signs (unless you're in Clearwater, but even then) so make sure that they are informative and clear to the public. We had a problem with this last time in Amsterdam because we were last-minute bumped to a location away from the org. There was way more public on the new location, but because a lot of our signs were intended for the members their purpose was lost. Each sign must individually communicate that Scientology is bad.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... I'm protesting as "Dr. Anon", in full doctor regalia including white coat, stethoscope and tounge depressors, with a sign styled to look like those warnings on fag packets: "Scientology Kills" on one side and "Scientology is the leading cause of stupidity" on the other.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... 'Scientology, bad for health and sanity'? Little less extreme and thus more likely to be taken in rather than dismissed, I'd say.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Those up there were just examples. Some of the German warning labels can easily be changed simply by replacing "smoking" with "Scientology", which gives us things like: SeaOrg is harmful to unborn children (sure to get WTF?-type reactions) or Scientology can impair judgement (original: fertility)
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Several that are going around in the Colorado group: Does YOUR church stalk its critics? Scientology does! Does YOUR church tape confessions? Scientology does! and one for the scilons: LRH TECH DOESN'T WORK ON ANONYMOUS
Re: Ideas for picket signs... That blows. I love it when people honk for us, the more the better. Maybe honking is more accepted in Masshole Land.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... One of my favorites: Real good "Wait, wot?" potential for the public.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Scientology is Wrong Tax the Cult If you can read this, you are too close to Scientology
Re: Ideas for picket signs... always remember, the bigger the signs and letters on it, the better bold also helps

Re: Ideas for picket signs... Space Cooties! With an insane picture of Tom Cruise. 'Course it would have to be an insane picture of Tom Cruise because that's all there is.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Great sign ideas, Xenudu. I want to make some signs ahead of time for the next raid, because we always end up making signs there and it sort of delays progress.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... You should always consider, who is your audience: pedestrians on foot, Scilons themselves, or passing drivers? Here in Orlando, the org shares an ugly one-story building with a nail salon. Real classy. - There is NO pedestrian traffic in that part of town, so we don't use signs with long slogans. - There are NO Scilons going in and out of the building TG so we don't use signs with aliens. - There ARE over 1,000 vehicles/hour driving by, in each direction, so we use big signs with short slogans; easy to read and easy to remember. My personal favorites are: RELIGION IS FREE SCIENTOLOGY IS NEITHER WIKIPEDIA: DIANETICS or SCIENTOLOGY My favorite long slogan, and one I "think" is original to me: STRESS AUDIT: FREE GOING CLEAR: $380,000 THE TRUTH ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY: PRICELESS
Re: Ideas for picket signs... You make the signs there? Heh we kind of do ther same, except it's more constructing the frames for the signs. It does give the stragglers time to arrive on the other hand... It wasn't for an Anon protest, but I remember seeing at another one I went to what was essentially white boards with whiteboard markers. That seemed like a great way of dealing with making signs up on the spot. And then they could be reused and tailored to the theme of the raid.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... hm, maybe we should invest in those. yeah what usually happens is we have to send someone to Staples to get poster board and black letters. so it takes a while for things to really get going.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... "Why is Xenu scared of David Miscavige? - www.xenu.net" "David Miscavige, are you there? Its me, Anonymous." "Scientology Sucks Alien Ass"
Re: Ideas for picket signs... $CIENTOLOGY clearing the plant, one wallet @ a time. and just a lulzy one, for no good reason: ASK Kirstie Alley about DIETnetics
Re: Ideas for picket signs... I would think that a variant of the "Honk if.." sign could be: "Honk if you think scientology is a cult"# Also, my personal sign is: scientology=unsafe scientology-Expensive Scientology=CULT!!
Re: Ideas for picket signs... ... if honking is allowed. Wasn't there a video of Atlantanons urging people NOT to honk, because the police were pulling them over? I was thinking of making these signs: SCIENTOLOGY KILLS! WHY ARE THEY DEAD .NET STOP FORCED ABORTIONS! JESUS NOT EVIL MADMAN (I'm in the bible belt, but i need to check if they claim this for truefax) RECONNECT TO FAMILY! STOP THE EVIL CULT! DON'T JOIN THE CULT! WE ARE NOT "FAIR GAME"!
Re: Ideas for picket signs... How about The Suit in a superman pose, red cape with a caption underneath saying "We Protest to Protect The World!" Also have a link to wwp on the bottom for passerbyers.
Re: Ideas for picket signs... Taking Dan Murnan as my inspiration, how about '$cientology [STRIKE]works, and it[/STRIKE] scams people'?
