I'm posting this old IRC (Internet Chat Relay) log of the raid by the cult on Arnie in 1995 to remind many of us why we're fighting this battle with scientology. Sometimes I think some people on IRC have forgotten what Arnie Lerma has gone through over the years and now they are attacking him. I'm proud to be a friend of Arnie and support his fight the best I can.

IRC is an excellent tool for communications of urgent/timely news and provides a degree of privacy.

I would suggest that any critics, newbies or even scientologists wishing to reach out for help, visit our channels on UnderNet's IRC server called #scientology (an open channel with few rules).

There is another channel called #scientologyLIES which is run by Arnie Lerma himself. #scientologyLIES does have many restrictions on access as it has sensitive discussions about the cult. If you are an unknown, you will probably be asked to leave and move to #scientology.

I recommend mIRC as your chat program. If you have a question on how to get on... email me at wog_world#yahoo.com Note, this email will be inactive shortly, but should be back up and running in the fall.

[This is the Internet Relay Chat log converted into HTML of the announcement that Andy Lerma was raided by the Church of Scientology on the morning of Saturday, 12 August 1995, a day that will life in infamy] This version was edited somewhat for clarity; for a 100% verbatim copy, see the more cluttered text version (I deleted no text; what I did remove was the various entry, exit and channel mode change announcements).

<rkeller> If you never talked to Arnie, imagine a voice like James Earl Jones > The usual copyright + trade secret infringement.
<Rover_> <Wag>

<lrkrchyk> jess: same ere.

> I guess he allegedly posted the OT materials.
<Morden> That will last until someone does a Lexis search.

> Hopefully this will just be a temporary victory for the clams.
<Jdiver> and they claim that it's sealed or what?

>`/
Probably going in the east coast courts helped them.
