Ethercat and I arrived at the sandwich shop next to the cult's
storefront at 1:30. There were 4 cars in front, and another 3 or 4
in back.
Dr. Quincy, an out-of-state agitator, left her twin behind but was
still able to join us a bit before 2:00. After introductions and a
little small-talk, we began our picket. We carried the usual signs,
several Xenu flyers, and Dr. Quincy brought a handsome, inflatable
Xenu.
The picket began quietly enough. Susan came out after about 5
minutes, but only took a couple pictures before fleeing inside
without having said a word. She did not look too happy. About 15
minutes in another woman, whom we did not recognize, came out with
another camera. She seemed intent on capturing a likeness of our
guest picketer, but only got a picture of a camera taking a picture
of her!
At the half hour mark we had had more than a half dozen acks from
the light traffic. We were about to head on when Bubbles showed with
yet another camera. I suggested that maybe the first two were
filmless - and Ethercat asked her flat out - and Bubbles actually
broke into a big smile and laughed out loud! It was nice to see; she
hardly ever smiles...
We all had things to do, but decided to enjoy a sandwich next door.
The St. Louis Bread Co. (plug) has really good bread, and the
sandwiches were yummy. But Susan followed us into the place, and
then went behind their counter to use their phone, staring at us
stone-like the whole time. Just as we sat down with our food, we saw
three young men walking in front of the cult's place with
construction paper signs. At first we thought there were more
critics, but then we noticed that their signs were completely
unreadable, and realized they had to be counter-picketers! Which was
proven imediately when Susan came almost running out to them, and
shepherded them into the org. Ethercat was able to get some video,
which I am sure she will get webbed asap if it's any good.
The three young men did not look like culties; were in act rather
scrungy. One had an orange sign that did not appear to have any
legible words, and another had a white one covered with aqua
squiggles... I don't know what they were supposed to do, but it is
not too hard to guess, is it?
There is much more to report, but I was not there, having had to
return to work (hi guys), so Ethercat will have to tell the rest of
the story later. Keep your eyes two feet behind your heads!
'til next time;

Pickets are the one thing that Scientology hates the most because
they can't lie to their members about it, at least to the ones who
see it.. They can't demonstrate their OT abilities and 'postulate'
people away using Tone 40, which invalidates them. This is a direct
confront to their great powers and is what they hate the most and
all the lies they tell their members is only a picket away from
revealing itself.
