Scientologists picket house
East Grinstead Courier, Friday 18 March 1994
By David Thompson
POLICE were twice called to disperse pickets from outside the East Grinstead home of an anti-Church of Scientology campaigner.
On Sunday, three Scientology members stood outside Jon Atack's house in Cranston Road.
Mr Atack said they carried placards proclaiming: Stop destroying families. Get a proper job like the rest of us and Support your own family and stop destroying ours.
"They were an absolute nuisance. I was incensed," he said. "They had no answer when I asked them which families I had destroyed."
The demonstrators left when the police were called to the scene. They returned on Tuesday morning but left again when the police arrived.
Scientology spokesman Peter Mansell said: "It was a peaceful protest, they were just expressing their views."
