and for the people saying this is sad and geeky, and that you have to choose your battles?? against islam and christianity? what have you done recently to say such a thing? Let me give you an example of people trying to take advantage, in which most of you people dont understand how people can be so ''stupid''. Someone close to me, very smart person, healthy and all, was a teacher in High School, discovers a very late and serious breast cancer. Now someone close to her, some card reader, one of those people that can read the past and future and bla bla bullshit. Now no one really believes these people, but when your life is coming to a near, and medical science cant guarantee you a safe exit, people tend to be weak and gulable and attach itself to some ''hope''. Obviously the sorceress knew that the cancer was there and that it will be gone if she does some things, and bla bla. Scientology works on the same principle. Actually all religion works on that principle, their harbour fear for their profit. its all bullshit, and a bunch of internet nerds deciding to use their time to take down a group of scavengers is great. Now for sure these arent the worst of scavengers out there, but its a start. | ||

He does special effects for the company they own (he did the war of the worlds special effects). He is not allowed to see his mother or his brother for christ sakes and they MAKE sure it doesn't happen. This great aunt of mine has tried at least twice to get out and she was terrified as hell. Both times she agreed to leave but then her other son (who now does all the "churches" major business deals) dragged her down to clearwater for reconditioning. This is something that needs to die... | ||

If you leave Scientology they cut you off completely, you can't see any friends you made because they are told to never talk to you again. You are pretty much cut off from the outside world. I would think that makes the idea of leaving a bit less desirable. | ||

As long as they don't harm anyone or hack their websites, etc, all these protests are absolutely fine. | ||

So if: - I'm a member of Scientology and; - I no longer want to be a member; they will: - Not talk to me That sounds like a pretty fucking good deal to me. On a serious note, though, Slaughter, I hope things work out for your family. You could always consider professional involvement. | ||

The weak people that they prey on don't have anyone else, and/or they destroy outside relationships the deeper they get pulled into the cult. Once a cult becomes your entire world, it's not hard to believe that you feel suffocated and unable to leave. Physically holding someone somewhere pales in conparison to a malicious mind fuck. | ||

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/feb/10/scientology-protesters-take-streets-clearwater/ Also: A media release from the Church of Scientology said Anonymous' actions are simply acts of religious bigotry and ploys to gain attention and that Anonymous' guiding materials are the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Nussbaum said he was offended by the church's comments about his group's guiding materials. "I don't know where they got that from, but I don't think that's true considering that I am a capitalist and a Jew," he said. HAHAHAHAHA | ||

post by lermanet_com before 200 netizens in protest of the madness of scientology From Washington DC, the face of courage ![[image loading]](http://www.lermanet.com/newimages/father-minister-suicide.jpg) This little gal, called me last month, for the first time, in a timid voice, that grew stronger with every word she spoke...it was the first time she had ever spoken out about scientology, she is an ex scientologist, her father was a lifelong, scientology "minister". She brought before and after pictures of her father, the young handsome Scientology minister, and 25 years later, a broken man. She had more guts than anyone today. She walked up to Sue Taylor, Director of Special Affairs for OSA DC, and said Hi sue, remember me? (she used to play with Sue Taylor's kids at her home) Sue said hello... untill she told Sue Taylor that her father committed suicide 3 years ago. She came up to me after I managed to spout off a few words of encouragement to the crowd, explaining operations snow white and operation freakout, and I suggested that she tell the picketers her story... She did.. And told a crowd of 200 strangers on the street about her life, growing up in scientology and then about her father, a 25 year long "Minister" in scientology, who hung himself 3 years ago. Sorry for triple posting, but this definietly deserves it's own post! oh yeah here's some really good pics from washingotn dc protest http://www.flickr.com/photos/23387891@N05/ | ||
