Introduction to Anonymous Protests against Scientology Britons Against the 'Church' of Scientology and Anonymous has staged a global protest against the Church of Scientology every month since the first one on February 10, 2008. These protests are generally across the street from one of their church buildings. Depending on the month and the size of the city, attendance ranges anywhere from three or four to over 600. These protests are completely peaceful and lawful, organised in cooperation with local Police.
Each protest generally has its own theme. If you're new, you don't need to worry about this particularly; not everyone follows the theme and nobody will care if you don't, as long as you're protesting Scientology.
To learn more about protests in your area, click on the "Protest Locations" tab at the top of this page or go to the Enturbulation forums and scroll down to the section on Activism. From there you should be able to find your way to the forum for the latest upcoming protest; find the geographical location nearest you and read about the details. You generally don't need to notify anyone that you're coming; just show up, and you will be welcomed.
The next global protest will be Novemberber 8th, 2008
Recent News & Updates
3rd November - The Big Issue
In September BATCoS was approached by the Big Issue to write an article for their 'King for a day' section to which we obviously obliged.
The anti-$cientology article has now been published (after being heavily scrutinised by the lawyers) and is available from all Big Issue street vendors from today (available for this week only).
BATCoS fully supports the charitable work done by The Big Issue Foundation in helping homeless and vunerable members and society and we would like to ask all that support our cause to go out and buy a copy of the magazine from your local seller and have a read the magazine in full for a very good read!
3rd November - Why we protest and Scientology exposed forums down
Yet again it would seem that the main forums used by Anons are subject to DDoS attacks!
Annoying I know, especially just before the 5th of November and the run up to our next protest.
The forum here on BATCoS is still up and running although registration is required and all members will be validated to ensure the forum remains private and safe for planning
6th October - Continue Enturbulating
If you read this site over the past week or more you will have noticed that Enturbulation.org was down to the constant DDoS attacks.
Well we are now glad to announce that Enturb is back, kind of, at www.enturb.com
You will notice that the Enturb have joined forces with whyweprotest.net to provide a new forum service to help co-ordinate projects and raids.
5th October - Petition Closed
As of Sunday 5th of October our online petition closed.
We would like to thank everybody who signed it and a big thank you to those of you who advertised the petition in various places online and helped to get 1517 signatures!
Although the petition is closed, we will not be giving up our cause. We will continue to push for $cientology to be renamed here in the UK and we will continue to support other groups and causes as well as generally protest against "the cult of greed" Time magazine.
