I was going to attach this to cwood's posting, but it is not on my server yet

I have been picketing across the street but where I can watch those at the front of the Org, and they can watch me.

Today we did a split picket separated by a lunch break. Because this time the cops parked on the side street, I missed them coming and going in the morning. Gregg has tape. I could transcribe some of it or we might just put it up on the net.

During the afternoon picket two guys come up and start to talk to me. They both took flyers. One of them does not say much while the other one and I go on for close to ten minutes back and forth with me talking about attention/endorphin rewards in scientology and other cults and a considerable amount of detail on how people are brainwashed into thinking they have space cooties.

Eventually he has to leave and the other guy who has listened attentively to this ten minutes of heavy entheta starts saying good things i initially about dianetics and wanting to know why I am in this fight. I tell him, no secret there, but I smell a rat, so I ask him if he is a scientologist. He denies it, but continues to try to defend scientology--weakly.

Seems to know scientology more lingo than he should, so I am able to say a lot to him about why scientology is a social canker in a few words, having read more LRH stuff than all but a very few in the local org. I start bring up fair game, the fact that I was named and enemy and SP in court early this year, and the various LRH policies such as lying before a court, and the $1000 reward policy for doing so.

This goes on for between 5 and ten minutes toward the end I get on the radio and tell Gregg I have a live one. Gregg starts over with the video camera and gets there just as this guy was leaving. Who does he walk over and join? Gwen Jones, AKA Velcro Kitty, AKA Gwen Summerfield who has been standing about 15 feet away monitoring his "confront." Gregg, of course, greets her, but they walk away at close to a run and vanish going away from the org before Gregg can get a face view of the guy.

Man, I hate to think how much repair auditing this guy is going to need to deal with talking to a high level SP for that long. Sorry we can't continue the conversation next time.
