Katarina. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 WTF >.<What's on those posters exactly? I'd like to see what this is all about..
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 To paraphrase Bill Maher - yeah those crazy scientologists. If only they believed something reasonable, like God had a son born to a virgin. Then they'd be sane. But anyway, I live in Scientology land. The Fort Harrison hotel downtown is the site of the murders of at least three people who tried to leave the cult. And they walk around the downtown like zombies. Most people here hate them because they get tax exempt status. I think they should pay taxes but I think Christian churches should be taxed too.Yeah. I'm not Christian because the virgin birth makes no sense to me. That's not why, but that's one of the reasons. People say "Oh, it was a miracle!" Well, I guess I don't believe in miracles, then. I believe in science. Sperm meets egg, man. Lmfao.Ugh, I would loathe living around there. I would be so freaked out, especially since those murders occured. And, yeah, I don't understand why they have tax exempt staus. It's strange. I guess their strange tax exempt status just follows the way of the religion; it has to be odd.
Trotsky Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 The nice weather in the winter months and the proximity to many venues where bands tour makes up for it.
The Disappearing Boy Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Am I the only person that realized this grammar fail? +1 for Team Billy.No.From Wiki:"Scientology teaches that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature. Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counseling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past, in order to free themselves of their limiting effects."Yeah.. Ok, its a bit weird, but why all the hate?
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 The nice weather in the winter months and the proximity to many venues where bands tour makes up for it.Totally.
Angela. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Haha, me too. I really hope, later on, they talk about it in an interview or something. I'm curious to know Billie, Mike, and Tre's exact thoughts on everything and how they would word them.Once again, I'm agreeing with you. I'm curious to hear what BJ, Mike, and Tre' have to say about this, as well. It would be interesting, to say the least.
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Once again, I'm agreeing with you. I'm curious to hear what BJ, Mike, and Tre' have to say about this, as well. It would be interesting, to say the least.Haha, wow. We agree on just about everything, it seems. Yeah. And I think this is something they will definetly talk about in interviews and stuff. We don't know what the posters look like; we don't know if they are, like, the main picture or a small blurb, but, either way, it's wrong, and I'm sure they aren't too thrilled about it. I mean, John said Billie was pissed, and he should be. So, I'm sure we'll hear them talk about it soon.Maybe Billie will write EJN Part 2 or something.
Harriet Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 John didn't post any pictures of the posters. But said the protest will be at the The Scientology Celebrity Center, the adress is: 5930 Franklin AveLos Angeles. I'm not sure when this will be happening, as John has not written anything about what time to meet or what date etc.http://www.scientology.cc/en_US/index.htmlYou can email them via a link on that website, we should all email them in protest!
Angela. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 ^^ EJN Part 2? I, for one, would love to hear that.

Most people here hate them because they get tax exempt status. I think they should pay taxes but I think Christian churches should be taxed too.Those people are sick and if they are murdering those who try to leave it is the classic definition of a cult.They definately should not get tax exempt status since it is pretty much should not be even considered a religion
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 ^^ EJN Part 2? I, for one, would love to hear that.I KNOW, RIGHT!?And I am totally emailing them.I think we all should. Us people that can't go to the strike should send an e-mail.Maybe once we see the posters so we have a better idea.But, yeah. I'm totally sending an e-mail.DUDE.. It's not cool to dis the Roecker. +1000 for Team Roecker This.
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Haha, wow. We agree on just about everything, it seems. Yeah.

Yeah I am pretty pissed about it too so I can see Billie, Mike and Tre being pissed about this as well since I wouldnt want my image to be used on something I dont even support
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah I am pretty pissed about it too so I can see Billie, Mike and Tre being pissed about this as well since I wouldnt want my image to be used on something I dont even supportExactly.Green Day have a show tonight, right?Maybe Billie will tell the crowd about it!I hope so.
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Exactly.Green Day have a show tonight, right?Maybe Billie will tell the crowd about it!I hope so.Yup they have a show in New Orleans and it will be interesting to see if Billie does mention anything about it tonight
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Yup they have a show in New Orleans and it will be interesting to see if Billie does mention anything about it tonightI'm sure he will. It's something Billie would do, haha.It would've been even cooler if they didn't have a show tonight (Sorry New Orleans people) and could go to the protest, lmfao.
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I'm sure he will. It's something Billie would do, haha.It would've been even cooler if they didn't have a show tonight (Sorry New Orleans people) and could go to the protest, lmfao.Yeah thats true it is something Billie would do for sure and who knows maybe they will do something when they are in LA for the show down there
Sarahnade. Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah thats true it is something Billie would do for sure and who knows maybe they will do something when they are in LA for the show down thereYeah!Hm, probably. You never know with Green Day, but I'm sure Billie will work something up to say tonight, and probably something different when they play at LA. I don't know. I'm just really excited about getting news from tonights show. Since this all just happened, I'm sure Billie wants to talk about it, and performing a show is the perfect outlet for a rant.
GDM Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Amen. i think they might be the same height, but billie could take him, no question.yes, does anyone know more details about this? roecker's fb status was a bit... vague....
steelthorne Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I bet Billie will say something about it on stage if he's pissed. That will be a good Youtube video if some1 gets that
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah!Hm, probably. You never know with Green Day, but I'm sure Billie will work something up to say tonight, and probably something different when they play at LA. I don't know. I'm just really excited about getting news from tonights show. Since this all just happened, I'm sure Billie wants to talk about it, and performing a show is the perfect outlet for a rant.Yeah exactly I will be paying close attention for updates tonight and I have a feeling Billie will bring it up in some form tonight as well and shows have always been his best forum for a rant too and I am sure Billie will do something different when they play LA as well
Mari91 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I bet Billie will say something about it on stage if he's pissed. That will be a good Youtube video if some1 gets thatI can definitely see him saying something. I cant believe theyre using them to promote scientology. wtf? why?thats ridiculous
norcalgreendayfan Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I bet Billie will say something about it on stage if he's pissed. That will be a good Youtube video if some1 gets thatYeah I can't wait to see any youtube video of Billie talking about this on stage tonight if he does at all tonight
