The Sea Org vs. Sea Arrrgh!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbkbjnxIkv8June 6: Maiden Voyage Anniversary
The church describes this holiday thus: "On this date in 1988, the Sea Org Motor Vessel Freewinds began her maiden voyage, during which New OT VIII was released publicly. In memory of that day, OT VIII completions convene aboard the Freewinds for a week of special briefings and acknowledgments to new OT VIII completions for their work in disseminating and expanding Scientology."
Operation: SEA ARRRRRGH! (Or Sea ARRRGH!) is based on the absurdity and abuses of the Sea Org.
We bring full-bore mockery against Hubbard and Miscavage's private "navy". Everyone can wear pirate hats and eye patches and bandanas over their regular costumes and laugh like pirates at that Sea Org. As all good pirates, we lay seige to their Orgs, and demand their booty.
The theme is chock full of lulz, but there is also plenty of fodder here for serious discussion:
* The billion year contract
* Poor wages
* Coerced abortions
* A religion with a NAVY?
*
The Freewinds and it's documented pollution (OTVIII: Enjoy your cancer.)
"Yo HO HO, the cult's got to GO!"
