Demonstrations against (and for) Scientology in
Australia
"For months Scientology has been making triumphant retreats before a
demoralized enemy who is advancing in utter disorder." - Cerberus
If you are having problems with outbreaks of Scientology around
your area, consider demonstrating against the local organisation. Two
or three demonstrators have a lot of presence when they know the entire
Internet stands by them - get out there with thirty million of your
mates behind you.
"One reason a picketer is so powerful is that it shows how much and how
many people are protesting. You are there because you want to, not because you
were ordered to ... Each one of you represent an army of followers." -

Mayett
