It wasn't supposed to get shut down this Sunday, the destruction of scientology is a very slow process and everyone understands this, some of the goals are to get their tax exampt status revoked etc.

What makes scientology any worse that catholicism?
People tell of horror stories in scientology.
Anyone remember all the child molesters in the catholic church? How the criminals were not stopped and moved to another spot to soul murder more children?
The people who get the most upset at scientology in my opinion, are those that believe in the drugs and religion of psychiatry.

The first clip confused me and the second clip made me laugh. How is playing Rick Astley going to accomplish anything other than get your groove on?

As far as you being a mouthpiece for the CoS, it obvious that since you hate anti-depressants and they hate anti-depressants, you must be the same. Much in the way that Colbert made Huckabee, but Conan made Colbert, but Jon Stewart made Conan, therefore, Jon Stewart made Huckabee.

I had to chuckle a bit over the Scientology video. It appears that they are taking all the credit for the Black Box warning on antidepressants, the suppression of negative data in clinical trials for Paxil, etc.

Still, although I don't know much about Scientology, I have to admit that these protests show that Scientology has ruffled some feathers. Could it be Pharma, APA, NAMI or just the cyberfolks [who are frustrated that there is nobody left to pick on anymore but smokers] who are worried. All I can say is "Good For CCHR". I will use the backlash against them as my barometer for how well the campaigns are going against the psychiatric overdrugging [especially the antidepressants] of America.

I think the protesters against Scientology are remaning anonymous because they have a vested interest in making sure that every American is drugged to the hilt.

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 being 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 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.

Y'know, it amuses me that the Co$ / Anonymous war has spilled over from wikis and Youtube to blog comments.

Rosie, protesters are remaining Anonymous because we don't have to surrender our privacy to make our voices heard. We're also remaining anonymous due to $cientology's well-earned reputation for harassing its critics. Anonymity = no target = frustrated Co$play = win = lulz. It has nothing to do with drugging anyone.

Gerbly, Anonymous is not attacking Scientologists - Anonymous is attacking the for-profit structure that exists around Scientology - the church leaders who approved Snow White, who let Lisa McPherson die, etc. We could care less what individuals believe - we're opposed to the people in charge who are abusing their power. There's no hoodwinking going on here - Co$ tried to suppress the Cruise video and we didn't like that. Wise Beard Man is both wise and beard, but there's no hoodwinking going on. And the white powder thing has already been denied.

Okay, here's a paranoid conspiracy theory for you: scientology and psychiatry are actually secretly in cahoots together. Scientology tries to be as ridiculous and irresponsible as possible in their pretend hatred of psychiatry so that anyone else who is even slightly critical of bio-psych is easy to tar as some whacked-out cultist, thereby suppression dissent. It works the other way too: anyone who says that scientology is a money-grubbing cult must have been sent by the evil bio-psych overlords.
