Scientology
$cientology has little support in Clearwater these days it
seems. An hour long picket was held late friday afternoon in
front of the old Clearwater Bank Building, which now serves as
a chow hall and office center for the cult of $cientology.
Although we were few in number it was the most positive in the
terms of "thumbs-up", car honks and waves of any picket that I
have ever attended. Sometimes three or four cars would be
honking at the same time, it was difficult to even keep up with
the waves from drivers.
Of course the protest was led by Bob Minton, scourge of the
evil cult, who found just enough room on the sidewalks to stay
out of the 10' injunction limit. We were pretty careful about
that, earlier I had walked down, measuring tape in hand, and
measured the building set-back to the walk. Mark Bunker found
some pictures of the "orange dots" that the cult had used to
mark their turf in December until the police made them clean it
up. I still remember seeing the young Sea Borg guys on their
hands and knees with paint thinner trying to remove the paint
that they had just put down.
The response from the cult was tame. The Rev. Buttocks came
out and snarled a bit but soon retreated to his sty. He is now
the "go-to guy" when Minton or some other member of the Trust
entubulates the lofty contemplations of the local OTs.
I wonder what the poor little Sea Borgers thought as they
walked past us hearing the horns and seeing the waves of
approval? They are told by their leaders that Scientology is
popular! But the reality is a little different. Reality in the
money grubbing cult of $cientology is always in short supply.
