Anonymous is not against anyone's religion. And they have every right to call attention to the crimes committed by the upper level management of the "Church" of $cientology. $cientology is truly a dangerous cult. I was a true believer for 25 years and I'm so happy that I'm on their SP list. Ask a $cientologist what has happened to the President of the Church, Heber Jentsch. Ask a $cientologist what has happened to the Executive Director International, Guillaume LeSevre. These two men were part of the top level of the "church" but have disappeared. Where are they?

We are not a hate group. We want you to be aware of the very real dangers of Scientology. We want you to know about the gross human rights violations committed by this cult. We want you to know about Lisa McPhearson. We want you to know about former members of Scientology's private navy, SeaOrg, who were forced to have abortions so that they could continue in service to the church. We want you to know about Scientology's use of child labor and their gulags. We want you to know about Operation Freakout and Paulette Cooper. We want you to know about Operation Snow White and Scientology's efforts to infiltrate the government of the United States of America (L. Ron's wife did time for this). We want you to know that you cannot be a Scientologist and any thing else because the goal is to audit god out of you. The cos won't tell you that untill you are "ready", but it's true Go to xenu.net for more truth.

The problem with all the anti-Scientology conspiracy theory sites is that they start with the basic assumption that Scientology is inherently evil, and then they set about searching high and low for every nugget of negative spin they can find to support their agenda. In their desperation, they usually reach for very old news ("Fair Game" from the 1960s, "Snow White" from the 1970s) or they try to present any wrongs committed by any individual Scientologist as reflecting directly on the religion as a whole (like the death of Lisa McPherson). Anti-Catholic propagandists do the exact same thing in their sick attempts to blame the Vatican for the acts of any individual priest on the planet. The people who have turned hating Scientology into their own little cottage industry have hoodwinked a lot of well-meaning youths into committing illegal acts (harassing phone calls, hate speech, slander, hacking) and even terrorism (mailing white powder to churches). They lack even the basic clue to understand that prank-calling orders for pizzas and taxis to Scientology churches don't really harass the church as much as it harasses the innocent pizza company and taxi company. Proof positive that they couldn't care less about wronging innocent parties in their zeal for "lulz". Anyone who posts any opposition to the anti-Scientology freaks or doesn't take a hard enough line against the cult immediately gets insulted, slandered, and accused of being a Scientologist themselves. The Anti-Scientology people have become a dangerous and harmful fringe group that put its own mission above all else and ruins innocent lives - in short, everything they ever accused the CoS of.

I for one am a card-carrying athiest, but I do not like the idea of people standing in front of other peoples' churches wearing masks.

I'm glad that Anon responded in such a non-threatening fashion.

Middleman said..... "Cults are bad! Let's all wear comic book masks together...fer serious!" I suggest doing some research before making uneducated attacks like that. The reason masks were worn was to conceal our identities as the Church of Scientology is known to harass, threaten and smear anyone who criticizes them. Google Lisa Mcpherson, check out xenu.net. These will give you a better idea on what Scientology can do to those who oppose them. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We WILL come again. Expect us.
