Opter, thanks so much......I'm very happy you enjoyed it :)

Tom of H---I loved his facial expressions too! I was trying to get
Maureen's, but the light was behind her, so it was very hard to see
with my little camera. Hopefully someone else got more.

Ahhhhhhh, a wedding! I love whomever wrote about how sweet it is that
two people, a critic and an SP, have such happiness and joy. :happydance:

When I think back to what I believed "SPs" were....it's truly amazing how
off the charts wrong it was/is. It's an honor to say I'm an SP :hifive: And know
all of you.

Yes it would be quite nice if he dropped in again... he was posting a bit some time back. Yet at that time, the avid critic movement was not as populated as it is now and methinks that the board was not as welcoming to them.

Much has changed for the better and perhaps he would find a rendezvous quite pleasant.:)

Nah! - Arnie's just relaxing some.. With his back fixed and enjoying life. He lived in pain for years with that back.

And now he has a wonderful wife too!

In fact, was it just before Anonymous declared war on CoS?, he announced that he'd withdraw from the fight. Having said all he could figure to say and being plain exhausted.

Heh.. I feel I'm repeating myself a lot too.. And being exhausted really..

But I ain't quitting and neither is Arnie I'm sure.

:yes:

Arnie Lerma marries, then raids Gold Base..
Former Scientologist Arnie Lerma married this weekened at the home of Ida Camburn, a long time critic who's been disconnected from her son in the cult for decades. It was a small wedding witnessed by Graham Berry, Xenubarb, Tommy Gorman (best man), Nancy Many & Tory.

Following the wedding, they raided Gold Base. The bride raided in her wedding dress.

Wedding of Arnie and Maureen Lerma :) on Vimeo

The bride, Maureen Lerma, posted:

On Sunday, January 10, 2010 Tommy Gorman and wife, Jennifer, Barbz, Arnie and myself entered the Gold Base area on Gilman Road by car with Arnie's voice bellowing from a 4-foot mega horn:

"No OT's there - on;ly an asthmatic dwarf"
"Leave while you still have your life"
"Hubbard was a hypnotist"


Barbz was highly annoying:

"hi,hi,hi,hi,hi,.hi.hi.hi.hi"
"@#^&($(#(* - #&)%)&(&%"

We made a pass from State St. to Sanderson and parked on the shoulder littered with new shrubs and stone piles, waiting to be installed. There has to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in landscaping waiting to be brought to the attention of code enforcement.


We parked and strolled down the road. Tommy has the initials "SP" nicely
manicured in his haircut, and we had a few picket signs, Arnies were
taped front and back on his shirt. There was quite a bit of traffic on the
road,.lots of honking. Maybe because there was some gal in a wedding dress strolling with a purple Xenu, I don't know :)

It was quite celebratory, but seriously, Gilman Road will not be closed due to the Cult. We not only protest this evil cult for its abuses - we are also the friends
of Gilman Road, alerting those who came by to pass the word and vote out this cult once and for all.

There were some members walking inside the gates so there were plenty of things said to alert them, along with checkpoint charlie at the Golden Era entrance
(barricaded with black shades) about abusive DM, and the big news about OT8 Rex Fowler who fatally shot an alleged helpless man, Tom Ciancio, before lobotomizing himself outside. We were the news terminal...

We stayed about an hour before one Hemet police car approached, smiling because of some gal in a dress in the middle of the road in the plants. The warning was with a smile, to stay safe. ahem,,,

Later that evening, Barbz, Arnie & I did a night raid with the mega horn. Upon pulling around to the checkpoint charlie house, a spotlight was turned on the car. Barbz, in the passenger seat offered some special words to the gentleman. Something about the mother ship, I'm not sure. :)

On Monday, January 11, we did a few drive-bys. Road work signs all over - Many workers installing underground watering systems and shrubbery by Gold. From what I hear, they are not to be doing this.

It's funny that we saw a man on the corner of Sanderson being shut down by the police for selling some oranges, yet the cult gets away with planting (has to be a million) in shrubs against the orders of the city. The city needs to take back their government from these criminal scofflaws.

Happy New Year!

Yes, I was going to add that to kick off the honeymoon, they raided out at Int Base, and The Bride raided in her wedding dress, isn't that the greatest! :D But Shiney beat me to it...
Gave all the commuters on the road and SO brave enough to look over the wall a Good Luck pleasure moment! Thanks for posting that account from WWP, Shiney! :thumbsup:

I think the wedding/raid pics should be posed here:

Wonderful that you guys shared your happiness with all of us, thanks for the pics and vids! Wishing Arnie and Maureen many healthy, happy years of wedded bliss together, and many more successful raids! :happydance:

Thanks for the vid and the good reporting, Gooey! :) I loved to see Arnie crying tears of happiness at his own wedding. (I have to confess that I joined in a little, I lOVE a wedding!) They both deserve all the joy in the world together! :happydance:

Good to see Graham looking chipper, and that Baxter has his cast off! :)

Happy Birthday, Dear Ida! May you enjoy many happy returns of the day, you wonderful woman!! :clap::happydance:

I just spoke with Maureen and Arnie, and both are trying to get on here
to say "Thank you so much to everyone for their kind and thoughtful
comments, and wishes!" :happydance:

They should be on here, soon. Meantime, they dance, they sing,
(My words, not theirs :).....
they are enjoying their new life together. :arose::love15:

To all their friends, and mine......:cheers: I love you all, and I know
they do, too!

Tory/Magoo

PS: She said they'll be posting more photos soon, and also of their picket out at Hemet, after, with she in her wedding dress :thumbsup:
 
More Joy!

I think we should collectively claim them as our third (fourth?-I'm losing count) ESMB wedding! :happydance: Our Love and Romance stats are climbing, and it's not even Valentine's Day yet! :whistling: :D

Much Love to the Happy Couple!

More pictures, please! Thank you! :)
