Arel was up here over this last weekend so we put in a one tape picket. There were 4 of us, Arel, the unknown picketer, Gregg and me up the street.
Brian McPherson was taking pictures of Arel. In fact, we understand from one of the locals Brian is there *every* Saturday just in case we show up.
We got a huge number of acks, but only gave out about 150 flyers.
That area is just saturated.
The org has put in a huge effort to get new people in. They got a few of them, maybe 5. They had about 10 old timers in there with them this last weekend and they were all signing the "product release"
form, that thing that is worse than anything you have to sign to go skydiving. Gregg was reading one through the window. It was only after he walked away that someone grabbed the flyer. They are doing a real effort at no-ising Gregg.
When Gregg and Arel first showed up there was this 18 yo with his mother. They were looking into the testimonials window. The kid had a copy of What is Scn in his knapsack. The kid was trying to sell her on spending her retirement money. He was ready to fight Gregg, grabbed a flyer, crushed it and threw it at Gregg. His mother was mortified and apologized. She went on in and was put on the cans and everything, but was looking out the window at the xenu flyer. Came back out and had a huge argument with the kid. She went on up the street and the kid went back into the org, likely a disconnect case.
Even if they don't do this kind of damage to families very often, even once it is too many times.
