'Dance protest' of Church of Scientology in St. Paul a go. Vuvuzela playing? Limited. - TwinCities.com

By Frederick Melo

The St. Paul City Council voted to allow a planned "dance protest" outside of the Church of Scientology in downtown St. Paul, but limited a requested noise variance to a single hour.

Members of Minnesota Anonymous had applied for a noise variance from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 10. The group's application listed vuvuzelas, the type of horns used at sporting events, and speakers among their instruments.

"Free speech is one thing, and a total disruption of people's lives is another," said St. Paul City Council Member Dave Thune. "They're free, of course, to picket, carry signs, at various times."

Prior to the vote, Nancy Schumacher, a public affairs director for the Church of Scientology, told the council that a noisy protest would disrupt Sunday services, church courses and residential neighbors.

"The intent of the group is to actually harass and intimidate church members, and we're hoping you will vote against it," she said.

No one representing Minnesota Anonymous spoke at the hearing.

You need to dance in an outside protest in Mpls this time of year. Otherwise you might freeze to death.

Forgot I had an account here, but thanks for the heads-up.

If the weather is bad would it be rescheduled? Maybe not because of the approval of the noise allowence?

We're Minnesota Anonymous. We don't reschedule for shit. Bad weather, bad cops, bad city, we don't give a fuck. We'll be out there, dancing, singing, chanting, and enturbing, no matter what. Join us if you dare.

"disrupt Sunday services, church courses"

STFU! There isn't any, nor has there ever been any Sunday services.
I see they have added church "courses" to their police baw.

RICOLA!

Outstanding, ladies and gentlemen.

And remember, Minnesotans don't afraid of anything, snow is snow. It just makes us more determined.

Might have to bushy up my tail.

Avast mateys!

Will there be wine cubes available?

WWP does not encourage the use of wine cubes, although it is permitted to mention other people's use of them.

'Sunday services' is Scientology speak for conning people out of money on a Sunday.

Lovely protest!

In St. Paul, Scientology protesters turn in one of their own - TwinCities.com

By Frederick Melo

Wearing signature white masks, members of the group Minnesota Anonymous protested outside of the Church of Scientology on Wabasha Street in downtown St. Paul on Sunday, Feb. 10. The protest, which was expected to last roughly six hours, drew a modest turnout amid the snowfall, with seven Anonymous members congregating quietly across the street from the church in the early afternoon in an effort to call attention to what they deemed to be cultlike practices.

A protestor wrote an inflammatory message in red chalk on the church wall, but other protestors discouraged his behavior and alerted St. Paul police.

Anonymous planned additional protests of the church around the world. Feb. 10 would have marked the 54th birthday of Lisa McPherson, a former Scientology church member who died in Clearwater, Fla., under suspicious circumstances on Dec. 5, 1995. Two felony charges against the church were dropped in June 2000, and her official cause of death was changed from "undetermined" to "accident."

Nancy Schumacher, a public affairs director for the Church of Scientology, asked the St. Paul City Council on Wednesday, Feb. 6, not to grant Anonymous a noise variance. "The intent of the group is to actually harass and intimidate church members," she said. The council granted a variance for one hour, rather than the six that Anonymous had requested.

so where are all the "church" members doing their Sunday "services"?

One of them came out to shovel.

We sang Happy bday Lisa at them.

We didn't use the hour of vuvuzela time.

Fuck that shit.

And we do have skiing.

nice! so that's it huh? do you see any public going in?

There were entrants but they were all gay.

I suspect they may be running a gay wigger punter society out of that org.

OK, was this guy a plant or just a fucknuckle? And what was the "inflammatory message"?

Inquiring minds asshats want to know!

The other suri thing was all our fags had masks.

Because they are cowards.

It was an ordinary n00b.

No reason to wuri.

Congrats!

We stamped out CULT in the snow and took turns maintaining it.

Very wholesome activity.

Do you have pics?
I salute you for turning out in crap weather.

lol cult cultivating!

Eeeeew. Cooties.

Nobody did any of that stuff.

Only that reporter should feel bad.

so that report was total BS?

Of course its not up to me to decide how bad he should feel.

But, considering, it will probably be bad.

Hi Kerd!
