Im a senior in HS, attending OSU next year. I've already communicated to my parents the reasons for protesting, and they weren't going to stop me. I do not think my teacher will or even wants to start anything with me, but my initial reaction is the same, its like I really CANT trust the people who I see everyday. There have been times i've considered catching a ride home with him after class, hes one of THOSE teachers. I guess it was just a rude awakening to the importance of either maintaining anonymity or at least being ready to face the possible consequences of being outspoken. The only positive I can stress from this, is that it seemed like some of the things I said when I was voicing my opinion to him seemed to cause him to think, so maybe somewhere inside his brain hes considering alternatives, or at least agreeing with some of our principles.

Oh, and I hate being judged as a high schooler on here (however true it may be), I was right out there with you guys on the 15th, so lets just pretend age doesn't matter lol.

Also, I've printed off 100+ copies of my favorite flier about "Why we wear masks", after photoshopping out the obvious couple of typos. So, ill be stocked for the gallery hop, and I highly suggest we take all remember that one of the biggest questions on the 15th post protest, was why it was so important for US to be anonymous. This particular flier did an amazing job of giving detailed information, and the couple of people I tested it on showed instant understanding and sympathies to why we remain anonymous.

Right on, brother. I'm getting my master's degree; my friend that came with me is finishing up his bachelors. All types of people have joined this movement. Thats the great thing about this group; it completely slices through social boundaries.


Unrelated: can anyone with photoshop skills edit this for april 12th at the Columbus org address?????

Don't worry, this is a forum where one is treated as they act, LoyalAnon. I doubt anyone will care that you were agefagged. :)

LoyalAnon

Bam, that good enough?

Not quite, you forgot one March 15th.

Burnt2

Ya dude those fonts look perfect! IF you could change the date and maybe put the complete address so people can mapquest it...

I'll print up a couple hundred of them this weekend for dissemination next week, along with the professor info packets.


thanks - it looks great

I live a few minutes off of Ashland University's campus (I think I'm the only Ashland County fag here), so I'll be flyering campus and spreading the word over the next month. a few thousand residentials and almost the same number of commuters. Plus profs, and potential students on trips, who can take info back to their high schools. Should be win.

Now, the important question... Mask, or no? :D

under.over

i would suggest no mask....it will draw more attention to you and possibly cause problems for you. some one posting fliers on a college campus isnt anything to look twice at.

A Noun? A Miss!

You're in Ohio in April. Wear a scarf. :P

When I pass stuff out on universities I don't wear a mask or anything - they don't know me anyways. I don't want to walk into a classroom and accidentally freak anyone out/get shot by some vigilante. Especially after all the campus shootings.


LoyalAnon - that looks great; thanks. My roid enflamed hacker skills don't involve simple manipulation of images.

lol np there burnt. Hell i think it might've motivated me to make my own string of flier designs eventually. Sounds like something ill get to after i sleep. And sleep a lot. Spring break begins for me tonight, Wootz.

I am going to contact the Other Paper this afternoon. I want to let them know about the protest on the 12th and invite them to cover it. We will get a better hearing and more column space, I am sure. Per that, we need to have press liasons. We saw with Holly that reporters often hear what they want to hear- something sensational, regardless of the truth. Most of the time I was handing out fliers near her she was on her cell phone making plans for that evening and going on about having to be outside, and complaining that she had to work on Saturday anyway.

This poster/flyer is great.

I'll be spreading it around too!

ETA: If you haven't been to the ex-Scientology kids site, it is a must read. The Sea Org stories...the disconnection, it is really sickening and amazing. I spent a few hours reading through stories there and thought...I need to make a BIG sign for 4/12

I'm thinking something like

MIND CONTROL
SEXUAL ABUSE
NEGLECT
TORTURE
HUMILIATION
EXCOMMUNICATION

After missing the last two, I believe I can finally make this one
Yaaaaay
But I'm a hopeless /m/an, so I might show up with an "Against Your Thought" Sign...

anonymous_for_truth

That sounds like an awesome sign.

Happy Cat

I'd readily offer to bear your children, but I'm anatomically inadequate (care to adopt?). That sign would be all kinds of win, methinks.

AnonLuvn

I'd love to add a "FORCED ABORTIONS" line, but it might be...oh, I guess, an unfriendly minefield for passersby. ?

And since 4/12 is all about the love, family and reconnect, I may take the advice of this anon:

...for the other side of the board to wave at times.

There have been some discussions about limiting the "honk if you hate Scientology" signs too.

That video gives me super-anon goosebumps.

That message is something all anon need to see.

Here is a work in progress, which should be helpful in discussing disconnection from the irrefutable "Source", so far I have tracked down references in one HCO and two books published by the CoS themselves less than a year ago. I will update this as I find other reliable sources.

Thanks again to the anon who provided me with the actual books.

If there is a Half Price Bookstore near you I recommend checking their New Age section before the scilons find out the chain managed to buy up a bunch of the basics and are reselling them with their price engram WAY out-ethics (scientologese for selling below the church's store's prices). :)

The first four quotes are usually used by scientologists (if they will admit disconnection exists) to claim it is no different from divorce or excommunication and that it is always the individual's choice.

"A Scientologist can become PTS by reason of being connected to someone that is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In order to resolve the PTS condition, he either HANDLES the other person's antagonism (as covered in the materials on PTS handling) or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have failed, he disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to communicate or not to communicate with a particular person.
"With our tech of handle or disconnect, we are, in actual fact, doing nothing different than any society or group or marriage down through thousands of years."
[10Sep1983.]

"A Scientologist can become PTS by reason of being connected to someone that is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In order to resolve the PTS condition, he either handles the other person's antagonism (as covered here and in full on the PTS/SP Course) or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have failed, he disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to communicate or not to communicate with a particular person.
"With our tech of handle or disconnect, we are, in actual fact, doing nothing different than any society or group or marriage down through thousands of years."
[Ethics. p. 206.]

"WHEN DISCONNECTION IS USED
"An Ethics Officer can encounter a situation where someone is factually connected to a suppressive person, in present time. This is a person whose normal operating basis is one of making others smaller, less able, less powerful. He does not want anyone to get better, at all.
"In truth, an SP is absolutely, completely terrified of anyone becoming more powerful.
"In such an instance the PTS isn't going to get anywhere trying to "handle" the person. The answer is to sever the connection."
[10Sep1983.]

"An Ethics Officer can encounter a situation where someone is factually connected to a suppressive person, in present time. This is a person whose normal operating basis is one of making others smaller, less able, less powerful. He does not want anyone to get better, at all.
"In truth, an SP is absolutely, completely terrified of anyone becoming more powerful.
"In such an instance the PTS isn't going to get anywhere trying to "handle" the person. The answer is to sever the connection."
[Ethics. p. 208-209.]

This quote clearly shows the CoS teaches disconnection and believes it works, but now it takes the disconnection out of the hands of the individual and puts it in the hands of someone else:

“The bare fact is that disconnection is a vital tool in handling PTSness and can be very effective when used correctly.
“Therefore, The tech of disconnection was restored to use, in the hands of those persons thoroughly and standardly trained in PTS/SP Tech.”
[Ethics. p. 207.]

How does L. Ron Hubbard recommend you go about disconnecting? (The third seems liable to lead to lawsuits).

“HOW TO DISCONNECT
“...move to a ...new location. He need not write any sort of “disconnection letter”...”
[Ethics. p. 209.]

“He should disconnect and, if he wants to inform the SP... he may write a letter of disconnection... The letter would be inspected by the Ethics Officer... and copies kept for the PTS person's own Ethics File and pc folder.”
[Ethics. p. 209.]

“One discovers that an employee... is an SP... the PTS fires him and that's the end of it right there!”
[Ethics. p. 209.]

The following quote shows that religious progress is unavailable to those who don't disconnect when told to, and that doing so marks them suppressive, so now other scientologists must disconnect from the original person.

“To fail or refuse to disconnect from a Suppressive Person not only denies the PTS case gain, it is also supportive of the Suppressive—in itself a Suppressive Act.”
[Ethics. p. 209.]

How can disconnecting from your loved ones save lives?

“The technology of Disconnection is essential in the handling of PTSes. It can and has saved lives and untold trouble and upset. It must be preserved and used correctly.”
[Ethics. p. 210.]

An even more clear statements that not disconnecting when told will stop your religious progress cold:

“Auditing or training must not be continued over an unhandled PTS...”
[Ethics. p. 211.]

When “disconnection is validly indicated in order to handle the person's PTSness, it should be done exactly per PTSness and Disconnection.”
[Ethics. p. 214.]

“Any processing of the Potential Trouble Source is denied or illegal while the connection exists...”
[Ethics. p. 320.]

“A truly Suppressive Person or Group has no rights of any kind [i]as Scientologists[\i].”
[Ethics. p. 321.]

“If evidences of disconnection are given, the Committee of Evidence Findings and Recommendations and the Convening Authority... must remove the label of Potential Trouble Source from the Scientologist.”
[Ethics. p. 322.]

Is this going to be in my permanent record?

“Any HCO Secretary may receive evidences of disconnection or disavowal and... must place copies of such evidence in the Ethics File and in the CF (Central Files) folders of all persons named in them.”
[Ethics. p. 324.]

And some slight confirmation from another of L. Ron's many works:

“If you were to weed out of your past those Anti-Social Persons you have known and if you then disconnected, you might experience great relief.”
[Life. p. 196.]
