Here is the text of a flier I'm working on for the upcoming protest this weekend.
Corrections or comments are welcome. (This goes for Scientologists, too - if you see any inaccuracies, please let me know ... but please be so kind as to point me to evidence for your contradictory information. Thanks in advance!) I will try to have HTML, Word, and PDF formats posted to my web site by Friday, but I apologize if I'm not able to do so.
Thanks,
Kristi
LISA MCPHERSON-- ONE OF MANY HELD AGAINST THEIR WILL
On December 5, 1995, Lisa McPherson died. Scientology had held her against
her will for 17 days. During that time, she tried to leave, became
violent, and refused to eat. At the time of her death, she had bruises and
abrasions on her body, and she had lost over 30 pounds in just 17 days.
$cientology policy mandates holding people against their will and giving them the silent treatment. Scientology calls this abusive practice "The Introspection Rundown." ACCORDING TO $CIENTOLOGY'S OWN LOGS, Lisa was held against her will and drugged.
Lisa was not the only Scientologist to be held against her will:
An Australian citizen's police report describes being imprisoned under the
Introspection Rundown for more than three months (1994)
Dee Rowe says that she and her husband were held against their will at a
"management seminar" in Glendale, California, which turned out to be a
Scientology front. (1990)
Marianne Coenan was confined in a boarded-up room by her husband and
parents, Scientologists, who appeared to be using the Introspection
Rundown on her. (1990)
Roxanne Friend's sworn court declaration states she was forced to
participate in auditing that she didn't want and was prevented from
calling the police. Finally, she was kidnapped, drugged, and held against
her will. (1989)
Dorothy Geary required hospitalization after being held captive for more
than two weeks in California after becoming involved with Sterling
Management, a Scientology front group. (1988)
Many others, including Cat Morrow, Gitte Mogensen, Heidi Degro, and David
Voorhies, have been held against their will under the Introspection
Rundown.

I think $cientology is hurting people and breaking the law, and I
want them to stop it. See http://www.scientology-lies.com for more.
Can you say "Xenu?" ... I knew that you could.
