I'm sure if I really wanted to protest against something, that I could find a far more meaningful cause than Scientology, but well, it takes all sorts. I wouldn't want to join them - I couldn't afford all that auditing shit! - but then I wouldn't want to join the Arsenal supporters club either - I can't afford to go and see them play anyway, all they want is your fucking money, just like L Ron's lot! And they hate the Jews!

I could be totally wrong here. 
I always thought Scientology was anti-religion and against notions of a supreme being, deity, god. Believing science to be the holder of truth?
Their recruitment techniques and that machine thingy are suspect though?
Don't know enough about them to comment further.
Why were Scientologists amongst the groups picked out by the Nazi's in Germany to be sent to concentration camps and the gas chambers do you think?

1. You're totally wrong.
2. Probably fell foul of the rules about the "mentally defective". Except of course that they couldn't have done because Scientology started in the 50s.

Yes you have just cause to dislike them, they nicked your website design. I can see that.
The others are pissed off cos they spent thousands of pounds and wasted their time learning about Thetans. And if it hadn't been the Scientologists they would probably have joined the Jesus Army, Hare Krishnas or any one of dozens of nutty religious groups.

So many particulars. So many questions.

All of whom form a powerfull lobby that influences free speech?

I'm profoundly anti-religion and anti-cult but I can't see that Scientology is any worse than most religious rubbish out there.
I think it's indicative that it is fundamentalist Xtians that are most against Scientology and that's because they're in denial and they're projecting: because they are accusing the Scientologists of the things they themselves are most guilty.
Scientology, as a spiritual/psychological system is based on Aleister Crowley's A.A., which Hubbard was once quite a senior member of. He took the ideas to make money out of them.
It offers a ham-fisted faith-based system of personal development and takes 10% of your money. That's the same as the modern qabala that Madonna follows. That's the same as most Evangelical Churches.
It tells you that we come from an imaginary man in the sky. So does Xtianity and Qabala.
I refuse to believe that John Travolta and Tom Cruise are total idiots. They might be gullible but they feel they are getting something from it. I think we should let them be and not do the Fundies' work for them.
I think they're all bonkers, personally, but I don't think Scientology is any more sinister than Xtianity and it certainly doesn't have the psychopathic history that Xtianity has

I'm not saying it's good. All I'm saying is it's no worse than the rest of the money-grabbing religious shite out there. Xtianity has a far worse record and that's just a cult within the broader Abrahamic tradition.

You know, even tho I've posted on this thread, I just read it as 'Is anyone interested in protesting against the sociologists?'

Another very similar argument to those used by Scientologists... "by attacking us you're supporting fundamentalists." or "Christian fundamentalists are behind this". Not true. Our enemy's enemy is not our friend.
Once again, Anon is a secular movement. Anyone can be Anonymous. Anonymous does not follow any one god, if at all. The attack on the Scientologists was triggered by their attempts to control dissent and criticism on the internet using litigious and bullying tactics. By protesting against and attacking Scientology no-one is supporting any other religion.
What do you mean? They are obviously total idiots.

I'll go along with you on this but I still worry that we're being sidelined into micro-analysis: that we're chasing a relatively insignificant money-making cult business and ignoring ther larger picture which might be the divisive, right-wing poisons pouring out of all the Abrahamic fundamentalisms (Xtian, Judaic and Moslem)

taking organised religion down a peg is a difficult task... we are gonna have to start in the lower divisions before we attempt the premiership
