"Hello, Scientology. We are Anonymous.

Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation; suppression of dissent; your litigious nature, all of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who trust you, who call you leader, has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind--for the laughs--we shall expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form. We acknowledge you as a serious opponent, and we are prepared for a long, long campaign. You will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.

You cannot hide; we are everywhere.

We cannot die; we are forever. We're getting bigger every day--and solely by the force of our ideas, malicious and hostile as they often are. If you want another name for your opponent, then call us Legion, for we are many.

Yet for all that we are not as monstrous as you are; still our methods are a parallel to your own. Doubtless you will use the Anon's actions as an example of the persecution you have so long warned your followers would come; this is acceptable. In fact, it is encouraged. We are your SPs.

Gradually as we merge our pulse with that of your "Church", the suppression of your followers will become increasingly difficult to maintain. Believers will wake, and see that salvation has no price. They will know that the stress, the frustration that they feel is not something that may be blamed upon Anonymous. No--they will see that it stems from a source far closer to each. Yes, we are SPs. But the sum of suppression we could ever muster is eclipsed by that of the RTC.

Knowledge is free.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect us."


I'm clueless about this.
I'm also scared about this.
Any idea, and thoughts on what it is?
I just know that theirs going to be a world wide protest about it.

Well, I don't really like scientology all too much, but wiping 'em out completely is kind of pushing it, me thinks...

Confusing mainly. I would suggest it's someone having a laugh, or else there really is a secret society that has slowly infiltrated scientology in order to bring it down. I have no idea what this is about.

Does anyone have more information? News reports? Rumours?

If it's really serious then why would they send out a message?
Suprise is the best form of attack.

I think it's someone reflecting their opinions or wanting to get some attention.

I remember listening to a conversation about Scientology once on the radio.

What exactly is Scientology?
The exact nature of all of existence is said to be stated in Hubbard's Scientology and Dianetics Axioms.

Other beliefs of Scientology are:[38]

* A person is an immortal spiritual being (termed a thetan) who possesses a mind and a body.
* The thetan has lived through many past lives and will continue to live beyond the death of the body.
* Through the Scientology process of "auditing," people can free themselves of traumatic incidents, ethical transgressions and bad decisions which are said to collectively restrict the person from reaching the state of "Clear" and "Operating Thetan." Each state is said to represent the recovery of native spiritual abilities and to confer mental and physical benefits.
* A person is basically good, but becomes "aberrated" by moments of pain and unconsciousness.
* Psychiatry and psychology are destructive and abusive practices.[39]

Members are studying Scientology and are receiving auditing sessions to advance from a status of preclear to Operating Thetan.

From what I know 'Anonymous' is more than just one person haveing a laugh. There was a Fox news report on it. Apparantly alot of people have had their myspace or facebook or whatever accounts hacked and completely changed.

They guy who was featured in the report said 'Anonymous' put gay pictures on his myspace and when his girlfriend saw them she broke up with him. When the guy retaliated 'Anonymous' posted his address and phone number all over the internet and then told people to go kill him. He actually got alot of death threats and some people even took stalker pictures of him and his family and put them on the internet.

my brother is heavily involved in anonymous, and he explained to me a lot of the stuff that Scientologists do and why they're so weird.


they usually take pictures of people protesting them or that are outside the "church" for too long. sometimes they will follow, and other times they'll just watch you.
it is REALLY creepy.

Here are some useful links about Scientology. It's basically a cult pretending to be a religion that was made up in the 1950s by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer. He also wanted to be a millionaire, and has said several times that the best way to make money is to start a religion. Scientology's very controversial because of all the secrecy, mystery, and illegal activities associated with it.

In fact, a few days ago Shawn Lonsdale, a famous critic of Scientology, was found dead. It looks like it was a suicide, but it's been said that he was happy and had every reason to live. He was also in the middle of filming a documentary that was about exposing Scientology as a cult. Coincidence?

About Anonymous, I know much less about them. I've only ever heard of them hacking websites and such. Supposedly they're on places like 4chan, ytmnd, and ebaums world a lot. Since they're anonymous, they can be anybody at all, and probably most people know someone who is a part of anonymous without even knowing it. Most of the stuff they do is all about the "lulz".

This so-called "religion" has created it's beliefs and practices on a man who writes fiction!
Journalists, courts and the governing bodies of several countries have stated that the Church of Scientology is a cult and an unscrupulous commercial enterprise that harasses its critics and abuses the trust of its members. So shot me if i called it a cult because that is what it is to me and millions of other people NOT a religion.
It takes people away from their families and uses them.
The group Anonymous (also know as Anon) have been protesting to get rid of Scientology.

Their are many videos and news reports on this matter on youtube.


The other funny thing is about this cult is that one of their follows Tom Cruise is suppose to be level 7; this means he can move things with his mind, level 8 means you can kill people with your mind. hmmm???

You know, I don't know that much about Scientology, but I've been reading some of these posts and you guys are being pretty harsh about a religion no one knows anything about. Just leave them alone and let them practice their beliefs.

It says that your 12 say i doubt that you can make that kind of statement, you also know nothing about Scientology so you don't know what they do to people.

In my country it is not a religion it is a cult.

And if you say let them practice their belief, then let me have mine.

This was posted on YouTube on February the 24th. It's from another organisation - The Knights of Gotham.


"Greetings internet, as we replicate the format of the notorious group known as anonymous, we assure you, we are a separate entity. We are not an internet group, but we recognize the power it holds and have conformed to use the internet as the best means of mass communication. The events of late have come to our attention and our officials have discussed the best course of action. We no-longer linger in the depths of inactivity, we are now mobilized, united as one. Our objective? To destroy the criminal activities and mere existence of the Church of Scientology. "All that is needed for evil men to prevail, is for good men to do nothing." Apathy has no place in the world today. We are now dedicated to action. We have eyes, we see truth, we see fact.
We see you, anonymous, We see your valiant mobilization of forces, all of which aim for the destruction of a totalitarian organization known as Scientology. We too, The Knights of Gotham, have done our research, we see all for which scientology is, and what they are not. Our first objective was to become educated on this world-wide calamity. Objective completed. Our second objective is to educate the people of the world of continual and constant atrocities conducted by this organization. The invasion and occupancy of Clearwater, of Lisa McPherson and many other victims, as well as the iniquitous goals of this organization. Our Third objective is to align our efforts with the efforts of Anonymous. And, Our major objective is to systematically fracture the hierarchy and inner-workings of this threat to society.
it has been ordered to attempt to join the ranks and campaign of anonymous. We wish to gain an alliance with anonymous; Not by delegation nor by diplomacy, we simply seek allegiance through action. We see the same problem you see. We ask for your allegiance. We ask for your acceptance. We ask for your invitation to infiltrate the bowels of this so called "Church."
We see you, Scientology, We see your deceptive means of growth and prosperity. We see your crimes and your arrogance towards authority. We also see; your end!
Scientology, we do not fear your litigious ways. Come for us, we dare you. Although your leaders are smart and violently manipulative, your ranks are weak. Your followers are blind. We bring light to darkness. Your founder was a paranoid schizophrenic. Your current leader acquired control through treason and blackmail. Wake up Scientologists. We are here to help you reach the true, truth. Your Church is an organized crime syndicate which conditions, extremely disciplines, and programs its members. Your Church tares families apart. We do not wish to tell you what to or what not to believe; this is your right and prerogative. We do not wish to take away your human rights as your church does to so many. This war is not against you the scientologist. This war is waged against your leaders and the corporation itself. When the smoke clears, you will be able to continue to believe in whatever you wish, but the deceiving and manipulative leaders, malignant with greed will be conquered and tamed. Please, scientologists, for your own sake, listen to reason, listen to fact, do your homework. Leaders of Scientology, we pity you, the world is against you, you will not triumph, you will not go unseen by the people of Earth, you will not see tomorrow.

We seek the destruction of modern fascism,
We seek the destruction of Scientology,
We seek allegiance with anonymous.


We have eyes,
we see truth,
We see fact.
We are the Knights of Gotham.

It is precisely because you have to be a paying member to know anything about it officially that people are suspicious. I can go to my local library and pick up the main book of any of the abrahamic religions, my hindu friends are allowed to tell me about their religion, scientologists are not. It stinks of exploitation.

You'll notice, most other religions openly preach. They want more members because they believe that they are leading people to salvation. With scientology, salvation equates to giving money and there are different levels based on how much you pay.

this is some freaky stuff.
it kind of reminds me of that movie Davicie (sp?) Code
i dont discriminate against ant type of religion because when you do that it makes you as bad as the people who disciminate against race.
as for Anonymous and those other people who want to work with them they sound like a cult too!!!
if you have to pay to worship a type of god than it is kinda obviouse that there may be someone corrupt behind the orginization.
and i dont really know much about scientology except for what i have read about on this thread so i could be wrong but it seems that people dont benefit from this religion and come on the whole people can move stuff with their minds when they reach a certain level seems kind of like SCIENCE FICTION!!!
geez
well that is all i have to say about that

That doesn't really matter to those of us who think all organised religion should be banned anyway.

Even looking at Scientology on the surface it's obvious that it's a corrupt, manipulative brainwashing cult. They actually seek vengeance on anyone who publicly disagrees with them by launching personal attacks on their lives. For example, I was watching a documentary on Scientologists where there was an interview with an opponent of the cult who said that Scientologists used the fact that he was homosexual, broadcasted this scathingly to the public and turned the entire neighborhood against him, just because he was gay. They spent their time hounding him, spying on him and making sure that they turned his life upside down.

They have done similar things to journalists, harassing them, and digging into their personal lives to expose any "dirty secrets" they can use to their advantage. It's wrong and plain nasty. That's why I can understand why opposition societies such as "We Are Anonymous" have arisen.

Frankly I think like any organised religion, it becomes threatening when mass mentality or cult mentality takes over the other aspects of life.

No matter how much u are into ur religion -- Scientology included -- i personally believe its good to maintain a degree of curiosity & questioning, as opposed to blind following. i wouldnt be surprised if ppl who have scoffed at aliens or the supernatural in their entire lives become total & absolute believers just becoz they got into Scientology. thats a little disturbing.

so....i'm neither black or white on this. at the end of the day, ppl are gonna worship what they want to (or THINk they want to) worship.

Scientology seriously creeps me out.
I mean, the fact you have to pay to join, apparently members are telekinetic and all of that seems a little strange to me.
And the whole "revenge" thing on people who oppose them is not being like, proud of their religion, that's just being violent and nonsensical.
I was actually planning on going to one of these protests, but didn't due to grounding.
Seriously, Scientology is just a load of bollocks.

How I feel is that scientology is a made up religion that makes up stupid lies about aliens and inforces celebrities to pay a lot of money to keep from having the aliens attack or whatever. I really don't know if that's true but I really don't care. It's a stupid "religion" that people really need to ignore. Scientology is rubbish!
