Yeah, probably not, after all. His Highness is probably too busy worrying about lawsuits halfway across the country to be bothered with anything halfway ’round the world.

In reply to Shannon. Pledge of a true cult member: "I promise to collect funds by whatever means without reservation or limit as long as I may live so help me Dave."

The cult can’t plead ignorance on this one. Nor can they call using ANZAC a mistake. The fact that they quoted an “official war historian” in their own promo shows some research went into this. They knew exactly what they were doing. Very degrading to take such a noble name and use it to fund a cult. Their greed knows no bounds, does it.

Re the use of ANZAC: Ok. I take your points and I will shut up about this.

Every city in the world needs an “L. Ron Hubbard Fund Raising Hall” where Scientologists can experience the Spirit of ANZAC!!!! Bets news yet, it’s ONLY $10,000. Write a check for $50,000 and 5X the thrill.

In reply to aussiesheila1.

Thank you auusiesheila1 for your work with vets and their families.

May I also add to Foolproof that the use of ANZAC was illegal. That is a big deal and worthy of criticism.

Your glossing over of the service of veterans and what they may “think” of their time spent in war shows a lack of understanding and compassion. I grew up with a Vietnam veteran, and a WWII vet who spent two years as a POW in a German concentration camp. Trust me, those “old soldiers” think plenty and they do “give a hoot.”

‘I mean, let’s criticize what is really deserving of criticism, and not the assumption (only by people commenting here) that some old soldiers may have got ARCXen about the juxtaposing of a simple word.’

Foolproof, I’m not sure how could you come to this opinion after checking out the links (news clip and the legal references) and previous posts.
CoS is trying to raise $10M+ by using a symbol that is off limits both by law and custom for reasons well detailed above by Aussiesheila and I yawnalot.
It deserved all the criticism it got.

In reply to Foolproof. Foolproof, those men are STILL highly respected by those in the US military as well. (USMC & Navy) And those of us who know 20th century history. They also blazed the trail for all future amphibious operations by allied forces in the next war. Their experiences, as bloody as they were was necessary in the learning process. These were NOT men who would give up. A real yardstick for future planning on what was and what was not possible.

” spew…” is right!

One citizen said their relatives would “..spew…” if they heard of Scientology’s misuse of ANZAC.

Bryan Seymour is good with describing Scientology and quoting citizens!

Scientology is a spewing matter!
