Admitting to mistakes shows the good in that person. i have had to admit to my mistakes. Mistakes are the best learning experiences. You never forget them.
Gotta admit, the old man apologizing for his actions was a nice change. Never heard someone say they would call police back and cancel the call. Someone gave him a crash coarse in public relations.
Man, didn't expect this audit to go this way when I started watching. Old guy started off being traditionally foolish, but then came back, apologized without being prompted to do so, listened, and learned. This goes to show that, even if you start off looking bad, you have the power to turn things around and make yourself look good.
It is refreshing to see someone who made the connection with worship and public photography being protected by the same Amendment. You almost never see someone get that.
@@JakeStrange66 The US Supreme Court has ruled through case law that recording video is a protected 1st Amendment activity through the "free press" aspect of the 1st Amendment. If you do not like like that then take it up with the US Supreme Court.
@@JakeStrange66 Apparently you did not read the wording of Price v. Garland or you would have known this. It refers to filming for making a movie and/or documentary in Federal Parks, not filming on public property, government property for the purpose of gathering news content. Justice Ginsburg made that distinction in her response to the decision. Now, following your logic any press organization is forbidden from filming in public and/or on government property because they make revenue stream from their news gathering. Name one media outlet that does NOT make revenue from their news service....name ONE. CNN gets paid, Fox gets paid, MSNBC gets paid, NBC gets paid, CBS gets paid. I think you see the point and how sorely you are completely wrong in your interpretation.
Another great audit, and props to the old guy. I've lost my temper and reacted badly a few times in life too, so I always appreciate seeing someone take a breath and straighten up their act, his apology seemed genuine. I don't believe in God, but I see churches at least sometimes inspire people to be better, more compassionate. Btw, I live in Orange County, I'd love to tag alone on an audit sometime and watch live
I think the older guy just sees things different due to technology.. he sees a camera and has the best bionic ears ever hearing the word “Scientology” and freaks out. Then a younger guy comes over to smooth things over and they were all cool since gramps understood better that cameras are not all that scary. I’m glad that it turned out pretty good. The gentleman just took things better plus invited you guys in 😊
I would just kindly remind them that they're enjoying their freedom to worship their God... Just in the same way as you're enjoying your freedom to record anything that you can see from a public space... As both these rights are legally covered under the first amendment.
You notice no one, or hardly anyone, ever says why they think they deserve information. It is always, "What is this?" Never, "Hi I'm the Assistant pastor, or bank manager, or whatever." But they want to know who you are and what "We" are doing. The "we" always gets me. I think I would say something like, "Well I'm not sure. I know what I'm doing but not sure about you" One thing I have noticed when I talk to people. A lot of people can accept that public photography is legal. But many people still think you need permission to record children.
I really liked how this audit turned out. What started out as negative encounter would end on a positive note. Maybe ol' Mr. Happy went inside and had him a stiff Margarita 🍹before he came back outside to interact with us again. Maybe the Margie loosened him up a bit. Either way, one fact remains the same. First Amendment Rights YOU are the top auditor in Southern California. Let's have us some drinks at the Tiki Bar soon. Alrrrrrrrriiiiiiiight!
I'm picturing a conversation inside before that third trip out going something like Blue jacket: "I heard one of them say something about Scientology." Black jacket: "Maybe they think we're Scientologists. No wonder they're doing an investigation. They probably think we're all crazy! Let's go clear it up." Blue jacket: "Yeah and you know, I should have thought about how I was representing our church and myself when I first approached them. I was behaving like Scientologist. I even told them they were welcome but was clearly being aggressive and unwelcoming. Everyone welcome indeed. I'll own up to my mistake and hopefully they won't leave with the same bad impression I made at first." Black jacket: "My brother, are you about to ascend and become an Operating Thetan?" Blue jacket: "What???" Black jacket: "Oh, um, I was just saying good idea. Let's go talk to them."
One of the most baffling things in this type of video is even after you tell them what you are doing they always say, and especially to the cops, that you won't tell them what your doing. Overall in this case, they did pretty well once they calmed down
That man really hiked a distance (roundtrip three times!) to deliver his messages. He failed in his initial objective, but exercise never hurts anyone. Of course, we had to hear the word "kids"...smh...but overall it ended positively, with them recognizing they owed you an apology.
Very good of them. And I bet they felt better for doing so. I found it to be very mature and thoughtful of the church members (I'm gay so I just don't feel welcome in any church, and Im always dubious of guys like these, but their apologies impressed me). Most folks harass the auditors, beat them up, break their equipment, or call the cops on them.
The man who kept coming back for more showed how he really cherishes his ignorance when he didn't want information to enlighten him. By contrast, the other man took the info. Some people just want to live their lives in a bubble of ignorance. Toward the end of the video, did he learn something or was it peer pressure that his collegue sort of made him look bad?
❤ at least it ended up really good with the nice apologies and stuff those are some pretty decent people if they can admit when they've been behaving badly❤
Keep them in check? In check for what? They did nothing. This asshole is no hero. He's just an annoyance. Scientology is a joke, but he's gaining nothing but to harass. He's not uncovering any great revelations.
Calling scientology or SDA evil is using the freedom to call-out cults for what they are. You're allowed to cult, and we're allowed to call you what you are.
2:48 We are doing this because if you hadn't come to us there would be no "we". 7:00 May Allah bless you all. Amen. We are Eighth Day Adventists, see you tomorrow.
The 2nd gentleman turned it around, for me. No cops were involved. Your 1st Amendment rights were not only upheld, but confirmed. Curiosity is fine. Asking is fine. The 1st gentleman was a little demanding, but as I said, 2nd guy calmed it down, and hopefully educated the flock.
Bravo to you and the SDA as well. What a great encounter. They were concerned at first but you put their fears to rest. I believe that at least 97.3% of all Adventists would pass an audit given the same circumstances. Being that nobody is perfect. Not yet anyway.
The guy in the blue jacket and white hair seems to be in good shape. He made 3 or more trips across that parkin lot and up that hill. Living right is good for your health. Have faith in God.
What I find interesting is that none of the places of worship you visit have the specific demographics that, based on past history, would have a need to be concerned about the motives of people hanging around outside. Yet they're always insistent on finding out those motives regardless. I'm also fascinated by their need to approach multiple times and in different groups.
I believe you meant quash when you said squash. Quash: put an end to; suppress. "a hospital executive quashed rumors that profit is the primary focus of the healthcare industrial complex."
Great job. I like it when you work in pairs... safer I think. I mean, as long as you can keep Nasty out of the Margaritas till you're done with the video. 😁
Great Audits!! some of these people just don't understand the LAW and if they don't want to be on the camera don't come up to the people that are recording. don't become part of the story.
I do not want to judge people too harshly but when your whole approach is to treat you lovely people as if you were degenerate criminals just because you have a camera. You guys were nicer than you needed to be. That is for sure.
As a pastor, bring a water to offer each of the men standing in the sun filming. Good on em to invite them in but practice hospitality. The last guy was on point.
8:00 It is always interesting to observe the dynamic of two people approaching. In this case, one was consumed with fear, anger, and ignorance. On the other hand, the other was open to reading the information provided and it was obvious that even though he was younger, he has learned a LOT more than the ignorant old man. When I was younger, I always thought old people were wise. I have grown up to realize that old people are just an older version of who they were when younger.
I wasn't there and I believe the local vibes help determine authenticity, but his apology seemed 100% real. He seemed ashamed of his behavior, if not for you both, then at least in the eyes of the Lord. I have a tendency to over-react due to my anxiety.
Much respect to the pastor for apologizing ❤
Awww, they apologized. At least they demonstrated some humanity. That was really sweet.😢
I have respect for the man in the sunglasses he came out and apologized for his earlier behavior thank you sir

I’ll be, this is the first church that got it, eventually. Good job to everyone involved!
A great piece advice I got from my parents when I was young that has saved me from tremendous amounts of drama and chaos…"Mind your own damn business"
It is refreshing to see someone who made the connection with worship and public photography being protected by the same Amendment.
You almost never see someone get that.
The cowards it to chicken to audit police station so they harass worshipers. Let's see the cowards audit a Mosque.
@@rhmrr01 They are protected by the same 1st amendment. I would feel the same way, providing they don't remove my head for filming them.
@@JakeStrange66 The US Supreme Court has ruled through case law that recording video is a protected 1st Amendment activity through the "free press" aspect of the 1st Amendment.
If you do not like like that then take it up with the US Supreme Court.
Already audited a mosque. You'll jave to go look for it in the house of worship playlist. Coward 😂

At least he is getting his exercise in this morning!
Well done. It was good to see the one guy taking the photography info. People with an open mind will learn new things.
Almost the way it should be besides being left alone!!!💯😎👍🙏🤙
Aloha brother.
@@NastyNathanial69
Aloha Nate!!! Honolulu misses you lol🙏👍🤙😎💯
That threw him off when you told him I’m going to ask you to go back inside. Lol i had to laugh. Lol
Turned out well at the end.❤
*Handled like a pair of BOSSES!!! Great verbal judo, the skills are getting better and better!*
I can respect the old man for coming back and apologizing
I love that you two audit together! Keep up the good work!
They are a most dangerous team.
It's like the _queer_ version of Josh and Bananer

That too, but without the gas.@@ahveamstad2480
All's well that ends well! Great interaction guys! 🙏✌🏽👍🏽
Great video, brought to us by , Science...you be safe out there. ❤
i was surprised when you speak Tagalog... i am a Filipino too. Keep up the work Cheers!

They do make a Great Team @@muckster57
The pastor is a wonderful person??
As long as you do as he says and give him what he wants !
You should have mentioned to the man in the blue jacket that you were happy to give him his day's exercise.
I love that. If you didn't want to be on video then don't get in front of my camera.
When you answer "why would I want to answer that question?" their next ego-centric statement is "because I want to know"
WOW What a refreshing and commendable turn around . Props to this congregation 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅✅✅✅✅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🫵🏼
If only the pastor would also be like the congregation
It concerns me when a person walks toward me and their arms don't move. Mr. Blue Jacket may have had too much coffee.😂
Best wrap up I’ve seen in a long time from any auditors. That’s how it looks when you lead yourself with knowledge instead of fear.
That last man listed all of the rights protected by the first amendment, except for the freedom of the press. Ron W4BIN
That owner of the purple wrangler in the parking lot wore an outfit that coordinated well with the vehicle; I think he likes purple ...... 🤣
One of the most baffling things in this type of video is even after you tell them what you are doing they always say, and especially to the cops, that you won't tell them what your doing. Overall in this case, they did pretty well once they calmed down
❤ how unwilling to read a paper that would make him not concerned with the things that he's concerned with❤
That man really hiked a distance (roundtrip three times!) to deliver his messages. He failed in his initial objective, but exercise never hurts anyone. Of course, we had to hear the word "kids"...smh...but overall it ended positively, with them recognizing they owed you an apology.

Awwwwwww Riiiiiiiight ...... Great interactions Thanks Chris and Nathaniel 😊
Id be willing to bet hes a manager somewhere and is accustomed to having people be obligated to answer his questions.
Good Job as always. It just blows my mind of how ignorant some people are. At least the guy apologized.
Great Job Y'all and I am proud of y'all as well
"Why are you filming?" Its my hobby filming end of conversation.
The man who kept coming back for more showed how he really cherishes his ignorance when he didn't want information to enlighten him. By contrast, the other man took the info. Some people just want to live their lives in a bubble of ignorance. Toward the end of the video, did he learn something or was it peer pressure that his collegue sort of made him look bad?
I think they realize that you guys just taught them several lessons. I am sure they will not forget them.
Holy MACKEREL I JUST FEEL IN LOVE with that church because how they turned that around and when he said one-by-one EACH OF THE AMENDMENTS WOW! BRAVO❤
cant always get what you want
The Seventh Day Adventists came from “The great disappointment”. It’s been a struggle ever since to not be disappointed.
Why does the general public always feel that? They are entitled to know what everyone is doing around them and that we are obligated to tell them.
❤ at least it ended up really good with the nice apologies and stuff those are some pretty decent people if they can admit when they've been behaving badly❤
When the word 'corruption' is mentioned, I have yet to see a single person stick around long enough to ask a second question.
I love the way that you keep your composure whilst the interaction with some people who try to intimidate you 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
1:01 Love the Beatles Ringo shoutout! "Peace & Love"! ... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very well done. Yahoooooooo 😊
Me again - Who else wanted the police to show up and ignore the auditors to talk to church folks!!! Always entertaining.
Public scrutiny is a civic duty!! keep up the great work....put these people in check!! OPEN PUBLIC recording n photography is LEGAL AF
Keep them in check? In check for what? They did nothing. This asshole is no hero. He's just an annoyance. Scientology is a joke, but he's gaining nothing but to harass. He's not uncovering any great revelations.
Freedom of religion and freedom of press are equally protected by 1A. It funny to see people enjoying one and suppressing another.
Calling scientology or SDA evil is using the freedom to call-out cults for what they are. You're allowed to cult, and we're allowed to call you what you are.
When anyone tells you someone is concerned and complained to them you need to call them a liar. Because they are.
Can't always *get* what you want.
And yes, NN...most definitely from the Let it Bleed album 😎
Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧..very good audit..nice bloke in the black jacket other bloke was ok in the end 😊
Love watching audits on Scientology. You think you and your friends will do one?
@donnagould2831 ... I agree. I loved how Leah Remini has exposed Scientology.
2:48 We are doing this because if you hadn't come to us there would be no "we". 7:00 May Allah bless you all. Amen. We are Eighth Day Adventists, see you tomorrow.
🤣😆
Wow, I was surprised he heard you joke about a Scientologist.

Love your videos but I would like to see a video where you do the silent treatment 👍
I like it when you suggest getting the uncomfortable people a pillow or blanket.
"Why are 'we' doing this..."? Doing what?!?!? Who is "we"?!!?!!? Does he have a tiny friend in his pocket?
"I don't know WTF you're doing, but I'm exercising my 1st Amendment rights."
God rides around with him in the pocket of his favorite blue jacket.
Yeah, who *ARE* "we"? I would've been like, "You're asking _me?_ I don't know! Why ARE you guys doing this?"
Dude, you are so sharp, no room for arguments.
If this is a church that forbids blood transfusion, I can hope they all get what they deserve when they reach the Pearly Gates. And meet the Almighty.
Not the church that forbids blood transfusions.
The SDA operates hospitals around the world.
Loma Linda for one.
People who don't want to be filmed when walking up to a camera has to be up to something they don't want anyone to watch and or hear.
Progress, not perfection. Thank you and Nathaniel for remaining cordial in the face of initial hostility.
The guy in the blue jacket and white hair seems to be in good shape. He made 3 or more trips across that parkin lot and up that hill. Living right is good for your health. Have faith in God.
That was like a roller coaster ride. Both ups and downs.

Well, that's better than the other churches we've seen...very nice...everyday is a lesson...
People seriously believe their level of comfort dictates the actions of others.
NOW THAT WAS A GREAT INTERACTION AFTER THE GENTLEMAN GOT TOGETHER AND FIGURED IT OUT THAT YOU HAD THE RIGHT TO BE THERE AND TAKE VIDEO
Great video thanks to the gentleman for damage control
😂😂🤣🤣😅😅next thing you know he will end up asking where you live.
I believe you meant quash when you said squash.
Quash: put an end to; suppress.
"a hospital executive quashed rumors that profit is the primary focus of the healthcare industrial complex."
Since when is uncomfortable a thing?
Old dude came out three times….
Relentless
"Why are we doing this?" Has he joined your crew? 😂
Great job. I like it when you work in pairs... safer I think. I mean, as long as you can keep Nasty out of the Margaritas till you're done with the video. 😁

Nice interaction after the initial hiccup. God bless everyone for their sincerity.
Those in power have made the average person so insecure that they are terrified of everything.
