cheranne Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Which C-word Do You Mean? A 15-year-old boy in London is being hauled into court for calling Scientology a cult. Police on the scene during a demonstration at the $45.4 million Scientology Center on Queen Victoria Street first gave the kid a warning about his placard, which read, “Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult.” He was told that the word “cult” was not allowed under section five of the Public Order Act, which forbids words on signs that are “threatening, abusive or insulting.” When he refused to stand down, the sign was seized and he was issued a summons for criminal prosecution. Since the Church of Scientology has been known to grease the palms of City of London police, the protesters were outraged for more than one reason and have continued to bash the authorities on various Internet sites. This controversy, by the way, should not be confused with the other controversy in which another Christian publicly used a four-letter word beginning in “c” and ending in “t.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cake Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Reminds me of the recent activities by Anonymous and the Wise Beard Man. I ran into a group guys from Anonymous as they handed out pamphlets out in front of a local scientology centre recently. Fun times. Support free thinkers!
