The Churchill Family Is Not Happy With The Church of Scientology At All!

"We have strong objections to the implication that our grandfather, if he were alive, would have something to do with Scientology. In fact, he wouldn't have touched an outfit like that with a bargepole. I can't represent too strongly how much we resent the suggestion that he would. They have no right, or permission, to use his name or likeness, and I hope they now respect my grandfather and his family's wishes."

Oh this is sweet. :p

Oh, the humanity!

Oh my dear Lord, is nothing sacred? Poor Winnie. Good for his family for objecting to this blatant exploitation.

I'd like to object on behalf of all feminists everywhere at the inclusion of the iconic Rosie the Riveter, also, who would have dropped anyone foolish enough to try to find her "ruin". Take a lesson, ladies! :D

What is also ironic, no, actually stupid, is that more than a few Scientologists that I have talked to about Churchill consder him an SP.

What gets me is that they use, more than likely, copyrighted pictures and probably without permission. Amazing they can and will do what they scream at people posting TC interviews, etc. for doing.

Oh yeah, they're saving the planet. They get to do whatever the F they want. :duh:

Elucidate, dear TAJ!

Hi TAJ, can you elaborate on this? For what is he considered an SP? I don't get it! :confused2: (Other than he wouldn't have touched Scientology with a bargepole!) :D

They USED to get to do whatever they wanted. It's not that easy for them these days.:D

And I love the fact they got a c & d letter. Wonder how they like being on the receiving end?

Yeah, I like the c & d letter too. That nearly had me on the floor in hysterics. You gotta wonder how it felt to be "hit with a legal action"? Maybe, just maybe, they might have gotten what it feels like for all the c & d letters they've sent out.

No, I doubt it. They can dish it but they can't take it.

Wasn't Churchill the awesome leader who would not give up against the NAZIs and their oppression and now they use his image to squeeze money out of the masses for an off policy drive on the IDLE ORGS.:duh:

Why not just use a shot of slappy intead, if he is such a hero.:grouch:

Yes, that was Churchill, Doom.:) Here's a speech he made:

Winston Churchill Speech - "We shall fight them on the beaches"

Winston Churchill's speech 'we shall fight them on the beaches' is one of the defining speeches during the second world war.


4 June 1940

"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.

The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Leave Churchill out of Scientology, says family

Images of Britain's wartime leader are being used in recruiting posters


The literary agency Curtis Brown, which represents several members of the Churchill family, has written to the church's London branch protesting at a range of advertising leaflets and posters that liken the Allied struggle against Nazi Germany to Scientology's efforts to recruit new members.

:omg:

What is WRONG with these people (don't answer that) ... this is the second time in 2 days I have seen scientology likening its 'struggle' (lol) to WW2 and the holocaust (Wendy Honnor being the first one).

Such arrogance ... not to mention incredibly insulting.

Oh well, lets 'Keep Calm and Carry On' ...

:carryon:

('Keep Calm and Carry On' was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of World War II).
