I vaguely remember the issue, but that wasn't its title, if anyone thinks it was.
I'll hunt around a bit and see if I can find it online.

This is awful.True
I remember my firs day on EPF at flag - long time ago
I saw SO member cleaning the marble floor out of the Crystal Ballroom
WITH A TOOTH BRUSH - no soap
So we are progressing
Before we were paid 25$ a week for slave labour
Now it's volounteer work and people are loosing any right under the fair labour laws
Congratulation so called [STRIKE]''church''[/STRIKE] cult of greed and hate
The key to escape the radar and abuse more and more humans and deprive them of their basics needs......
If they are now classed as volunteers, they should be free to cease their volunteering, and walk away unmolested whenever they like.
What are those stupid sticks for anyway? To intimidate people? A tradition to carry them? A weapon? All of the above?
All of the above.
The use as a weapon is rare. SO security guards (sometimes) carry proper batons if licensed by non-CofS local authorities to do so, not dinky ceremonial ones.
Paul
Paul, I think that Jesse Reiss was carrying a dinky ceremonial one..
But don't the SO security guards carry weapons? How was Mario Majorsky killed at Celebrity Center? He could have been pepper sprayed no?
From memory, Majorski was killed by a non-Scn security guard. Only a complete idiot would try and pepper spray someone charging and close up waving a sharp sword with the stated intent to kill.

When will the fine print legal disclaimers begin to appear on Sea Org recruiting ads?

They are called "swagger sticks". They are standard issue for officers in the british army. Senior non-coms in the army carry a "pace stick".
Aida,
The Mario Majorski incident security video tapes were released to LAPD and the local news and can be found on the Internet.

From the promo piece:
Only Clears and OTs will survive this planet.
THAT is quite an absurd assumption. How does ANYONE actually "think with that"?
And, we're the only ones that can make them.
That is basically a LIE, since for the most part, Scientology "produces" neither.
Can't SOMEBODY get them for violating "truth in advertising"?
And, what the flying fuck does it MEAN to have an "OT Civilization"? I would love to survey a few hundred active Scio-bozos on "what does OT Civivlization mean to YOU", and then compare the nutty responses. I am quite sure that besides it being a total hoot, that the responses would be amazingly DIFFERENT (and often downright weird). The notion of an "OT Civilization" is like so many of the ideas Hubbard "talks with". It has no actual relationship to ANY defintion, any observable anything, and exist almost entirely as a vague abstarct CONCEPT (quite separate from ANY possible reality). Yet the over-indoctrinated Scientolgoists will behave as if they actually SAY something meaningful when they use such terms between and among each other.
I suppose it isn't much different than 5 year old kids talking about the Easter Bunny. It makes sense to THEM, and has meaning for THEM, but that is about it.
Aida,
The Mario Majorski incident security video tapes were released to LAPD and the local news and can be found on the Internet.
He pulled up at the CC Int East side parking lot and jumped out of his car with a samurai sword... When the off-duty LAPD security guard ordered him to halt, he returned to the car to fetch a second samurai sword and advanced upon the armed guard whilst brandishing these deadly weapons.
As you well know, it is not more than 20 yards from there to the fountain courtyard where many public are gathered at any given time. Had this madman gotten past the guard, he might easily have slaughtered and maimed a dozen or more unarmed innocents.
All police are trained that if an armed assailant gets inside 21 feet, they can strike and seriously injure or kill you before you can stop them - you must therefore, stop them before they get inside that distance. If you go to any firing range, there is a 21 foot line to position your target at for that reason.
Pepper spray is not guaranteed to stop a determined attacker. Giving ground to keep Mario from closing on him was not an option as he had unarmed public behind him to defend.
Therefore, the guard shot Mario once in the chest to stop him. Unfortunately, the single shot proved fatal. After consulting the video evidence, the LAPD Shooting Board determined the guard was entirely justified.
Shooting to disable only works on TV. It's surprisingly easy to miss a person, even at very short range; if a cop needs to shoot, they can't afford to aim off center. And the odds of a person dying from any short-range gunshot wound are high. So in real life, to shoot is to shoot to kill. I think cops sometimes shoot when they shouldn't, but shooting gently is not an option they have.
According to a mother of a Sea Org member that I know they stopped paying them also!! She has been trying to help her child while she is on social security and has no money at all because her child says her post is NO PAY!! This has been going on for at least a year!! Any one else know about this???!!!The Scientology Cult just sent me an e-mail recruiting for Sea Org. There is prominent new language in the e-mail:
The Cult wants the public to understand that its slave labor are all volunteers - this although said volunteers may not come and go as they please. Any beatings received are also voluntary.
Seriously, this new language signals a key change in Cult SO recruiting and appears to have come from Legal.
This particular ad came from the Cult of Scientology in Australia.

This man with the baton reminds me when Anne Rathbun did a 'roll back' on me because I opposed the GAT and I was locked in a room at AOLA and Anne was at the meter, she did not even bother to ask if I was sessionable for the meter to read, I guess she did not care, then she started interrogating me and asking the most outrageous questions while Jesse Reiss was standing at the door all dressed up in full regalia Nazi-like uniform with fake medals and all and a baton in his hands looking menacingly at me...
At the time I felt I was in some kind of surrealistic place...
But now I realize that they probably decided to have the baton in hand just in case I got my machete out and chopped their heads...LOL!
