Scientology Cult Lands in Moseley, Birmingham

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us | 03.04.2008 19:33 | Social Struggles | Birmingham

The Church of Scientology Cult has announced that it's establishing it's second biggest base in the UK in Moseley, South Birmingham. The dangerous cult has bought a huge grade II listed building, Pitmaston House, which is estimated to be worth at least £4.25 million. The former insurance building was listed after a local campaign managed to save the building from developers but now it looks set to turn into a base to recruit people from the local area and to fulfil the claims of it's leader, David Miscavige, that the Church is expanding. The Church of Scientology is no stranger to Moseley, before it opened it's offices in Birmingham city centre, it ran a shop on the Highstreet during the 1970s/80s.

According to an article in Birmingham's Mail

http://www.birminghammail.net/2008/04/03/scientologist-cult-sets-up-hq-in-birmingham-97319-20713379/, local residents are already up in arms about the cult establishing itself in leafy Moseley and are worried that it will 'target young and vulnerable new recruits'. Local people have also shown a keen interest in protesting outside the new headquarters at the junction of Russell Road and Reddings Road:

Anonymous, the internet based group protesting against the Church of Scientology, will be holding a peaceful demonstration in Birmingham City Centre at Ethel Street on April 12th as part of Operation Reconnect, a global protest to highlight the Church of Scientology's unethical family separation practice called 'Disconnection'.

you know when you've been scammed

join my new cult - discount scientology org

04.04.2008 01:56

Yes folks, its arrived! Your very own discounted cult. We are London based and charge only 1% of our more expensive rivals fees. we meet in the wibbas down inn on the first monday of each month around 7pm. for directions see:

http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars/wibbas-down-inn-info-13926.html. Wimbledon station is a few minuted walk away.
For just £2.50 (or a pint) you can become a 'friend' of our cult/org.
For £1000 you will earn the title 'grand master who pays for the meal later and is everyones bestest mate'
Join us and you will learn how to perform our sacred rituals. This includes how to order/mix our secret cocktail (the xenu blaster) plus the secret ritual that you must perform after drinking 10 of these (the upchuck) if you wish to live.

Anyone opposing us (and that includes our more expensive rivals) will face the ritual of the 'dis'. Quite simply, we tell them to p*ss off and get a life.

Because we are the real scientoligists, discount scientoligists. Coming to a boozer near you, soon!
