Sure they're a bit of a nutty cult. But how are they different from the Hare Krishnas say... or the Jesus Army ...or the nutters at Finsbury Park mosque?

Hare Krishnas are a fairly decent bunch.
Jesus Army are fucking vermin, as I never hesitate to point out to their faces when I run into them and I'm drunk
"nutters at Finsbury Park mosque". hmmm...

I've got no time for any organised religion, but the scientologists do stick in my craw and underneath the "fuck me - they believe in SPACE LIZARDS!!" sniggering, they're pretty odious socially.

But it's not an entirely serious protests, as pretty much everyone on this thread has made clear, so you're just a humourless twunt

twunt ... you're making it up :D
 
I was just asking why you want people to go to your protest.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing. And we're replying. But you do seem to have both underestimated how vile scientology is, and overestimated the seriousness of the demo
 
They are, however, rich, and don't mind weilding their financial clout. They seem to have a problem with free speech, they like to issue writs regarding their trade marked and copyrighted material (which is the mechanism by which they deflect criticism), and they charge members substantial fees for their sessions.

Despite this trademarks and session fees, they want to be taken seriously as a church.

I heartily agree. You can call the Pope a tosser and you won't end up with sinister lawyers on your case. So many people have been legally silenced by $cientology legal processes that it is very worrying and the punch above their weight.
Not, however, an action I'm personally going to travel to London or Birmingham to be a part of.

I'm not a big protestor but I might well be up for this. I dislike the way $cientology sucks the free will and life as well as the money out of their adherents.

Looks like a chance to cash in on recent media publicity about Scientology.

What are the chances the organisers will be there selling cheap plastic V masks, fiver a go.

Fucking hypocrites :hmm:
 
Reasons to hate Scientology

1. It's pretence at being a religion, whereas it's really just a money-taking scam
2. It's slowly dissolving my TV schedule-boycott principles because too many good artists are being suckered in
3. The Battlefield Earth books and the ideas behind Scientology are really bad Sci-Fi. I mean the worst, even worse than pulp rubbish like the Amtrak Wars and Stainless Steel Rat.

I'll answer.

Because, as is made clear in the links posted, the $cientology cult is made up of deeply unpleasant and greedy people who are willing to use violence, litigation, lies and any means necessary - "fair game" to silence their opponents. In 2006 they were caught offering high value gifts to City of London police. They believe that psychiatry is dangerous, and refuse to allow their adherants access to medical aid. People who have tried to leave the group have been kidnapped and assaulted. some have died. the only way to advance through the "church" is through financial aid. They have stolen from urban75. They have no sense of humour.

Contrary to the lies that you're proposing here (remarkably similar to propaganda spread by $cientologists in response to these actions elsewhere) this is a non-profit making protest. no masks are for sale.
 
c+p from someone more eloquent than i:

Anonymous explains(Taken from http://partyvan.info)
"A very large group of people has declared a "war" on the Church of Scientology. They call themselves Anonymous. Many feel this group is a bunch of hackers. While this is partially true, they are much more. Their manifesto is evidence that they are a large group of people from all walks of life. Some happen to be very computer literate. They have decided to fight for the freedom of knowledge and information. Many other people have tried to reveal the truth about the Church of Scientology. Unfortunately these attempts have ended in failure. The Church sends out cease and desist orders to anyone who tries to speak out against them. They have a history of violating people’s right to privacy by revealing secrets to the public. They intimidate their critics, and even resort to stalking their perceived enemies. The Church originally instituted a "fair game" policy on all critics. "Enemies of the church could be injured, tricked, sued, lied to or destroyed. Fair game." - L. Ron Hubbard (Creator of the Church and the religion). This is a threat to the freedom of information and knowledge that Anonymous is fighting for.


Anonymous has nothing against religion, although they may poke fun at some of the more interesting concepts. They believe in freedoms and they are not trying to fight the Freedom of Religion. Their fight is strictly against the Church of Scientology. The websites associated with Anonymous have been attacked frequently, ordered to be silenced by the church's lawyers. The Church has some of the best lawyers possible. They also have members in many government agencies. They are currently tax exempt in the US(VAT exempt in the UK) under the claim that they are a non-profit organization. But how can a Church that charges its members for sermons/sessions/audits claim to be non-profit? It can cost up to $300 per session, and over $300,000 for their complete series of sessions and audits. This is not a religion folks. They are not being religiously persecuted. The Church of Scientology is a cult. They prey on peoples emotions.


Scientologists don't practice modern medicine; they believe psychiatry is a false science that kills. Scientology ignores the fact that psychiatry is based on the scientific method requiring objective experimentation and peer review. They have had cases where they take followers off their needed modern psychiatric medication and instead they give them vitamins and auditing sessions. The result, depending on the ailment, could be fatal. Documents of these deaths can be found at http://whyaretheydead.net


The next wave of this war is peaceful protest. On February 10th, there will be protests around the globe at Churches of Scientology. February 10th was chosen because it was the birth date of the woman who suffered one of the most controversial deaths caused by the Church of Scientology, Lisa McPherson.
 
These Anonymous people clearly have an axe to grind, they sound as nutty as the Scientologists.

Best of luck to you. I won't be going :)
 
Yes, of course they do. JUST as nutty.

:rolleyes:

Lets face it, these Anonymous people are probably ex-Scientologists who have left or been kicked out. Which means they are the kind of dipsticks who fell for all that alien/mumbo-jumbo bullshit in the first place.

Were you a member?

Do you think I've got just cause to dislike the Scientologists or do you think I'm just one of these 'dipsticks'?
 
I'm well up for this. Anyone fancy meeting beforehand?

I can print our various secret training courses they run and distribute them to passers by and visitors to the HQ.

You really don't understand do you. Completely incapable of getting the point.

Thus proving my point, and showing yourself incapable of reading.

Do you know what the ultimate crime in Scientology is, rover? Asking for your money back!

If you want to defend these bastards that's your cause, but at least try not to read from their scripts, eh?

Mebbe an urbnonymous bloc might not be a bad idea... Tax?
 
The police will be there and trying to get any masks off. The clams will then take loads of pics and try and find out who the people are and make their lives a misery.
 
We should take iPods along with the section of SouthPark where they explain all of Scientology's innermost secrets, the ones that normall cost £££££s to get told...
