Lonsdale Shawn Tribute

Lonsdale Shawn Online Memorial

Memories of Lonsdale Shawn

What goes around . . .

BLiP May 09, 2010

I was thinking of you today, Shawn. John Sweeny is back in the States doing a follow up to his documentary that you starred in . . . only this time two of former head $cilons that harassed you are now on the outside helping gather information needed to bring the cult down.

You are remembered with love. RIP, bro.

Got me interested in Scientology

Ant Mar 20, 2010

I just remembered seeing him on the BBC Panorama program and thinking he has balls of steel.
The end of Scientology looms nearer, As long as we all keep it up and share the word.

Rest in piece.

A Brave And Gentle Man

M Jan 17, 2010

I only "knew" Shawn online, but he was my friend.

The courage he showed in his one-man campaign inspired me to action as I watched it happen, and it still inspires me. The cult of $cientology attacked and viciously tried to ruin the life of a man who was just telling the truth.

Always remember Shawn Lonsdale.

Finish his fight.

Scientology Hates Shawn Lonsdale

Mary McConnell Jun 13, 2009

Before he died, Shawn was attacked by a high level scientologist named Ron Savelo. I wish he were around to see the progress that's beeen made! Never the less, Shawn is still being attacked by Scientology long after his death . The fact is, he videotapped this attack by Savelo and posted it on the internet before he died. Ron Savelo, feeling the smarting of having a his reputation marred by the truth, actually lied to youtube and Chilling Effects.org: http://www.chillingeffects.org/ claiming he owned the rights to Shawn Lonsdale's video of that assault when they actually belong to the estate of Shawn Lonsdale. counter complaints are in the works as I write this:

This goes to show you how persecuted he was by Scientology and how effective his videos are. They are a testimony of truth. Ron Savelo should be ashamed about what he did but he isn't. That's a scientologist for you. Cold and calculating.
R.I.P. Shawn. The Lord loves you with all his heart and soul.

Balls of Steel

Sam May 30, 2009

This man was the Indiana Jones of the Anti-Scientology movement. Not even the most hardened veterans of the battle for free speech against the cult could so bravely walk up to the steps of their robot factories in Clearwater and make videos. No one could so openly talk about their highest levels while almost literally surrounded by those crazed dingbats. We will continue the fight Shawn started in his honor and in the honor of every victim of Scientology.

Expect us.

My Hero

Wig Feb 18, 2009

I admire your fight with Scientology given your circumstances. I used the words Cult Watch on my picket signs and of course your name was there. I cannot picket recently but I will continue the fight in your honor, and many other victims. You will not be forgotten.

This Is Why

Kathryn Harvey Feb 09, 2009

This is why. This is why I still attend the protests in downtown, even though I'm tired of looking at the Mecca Building and Mansell's still being a jerk. No one should ever have to fight past that level of hardship to speak their mind and show the truth, and if we have anything to say about it, no one will have to ever again. You and your dedication are missed, Shawn.

Goodbye Shawn

Stefan Nov 12, 2008

I only know you from the John Sweeney programme in the UK and the net but your hard work will be missed.

Rest in peace.

A Man of courage

Anthony Gray Oct 10, 2008

I just recently heard about this man, someone who spoke out against the largest cult in history, a man with nothing to lose. this man was the living embodiment of courage against insurmountable odds.

Eventually he had a steady job going, was going to go back into school, and become a private investigator.

this man was murdered... that is no suicide, he was murdered.

A good man

Jon Sep 17, 2008

I only heard about him after the BBC documentary. He was a good and brave man. Actions like his, in the name of liberty, can slowly change the world.

Gone, but NEVER forgotten!

Jesse May 06, 2008

While I didn't hear about Shawn until his death, I still hold great respect for him. His death, tragic as it was, has motivated many members of Anonymous that would otherwise have wandered away. Personally speaking, he has put steel in my resolve, and in his memory I will not stop fighting the cult he protested until they have fallen apart.

Farewell Shawn, you will not be forgotten.
