Anonymous Vs. Scientology

Anonymous is an online group that are attempting to ban Scientology and get rid of their rights as a religion. They join together to try to overpower the Church with terrorist acts such as bomb threats, death threats, and website hackings.

Anonymous executed their first attacks against Scientology on the internet, but more recently have mobilized their efforts in the real world.

Karin Pouw, Scientology’s director of public affairs, released the statement that “The church and its parishioners seek only to halt the illegal campaign of violence, terror, and intimidation perpetuated by individuals who call themselves Anonymous."

They also try to convince many people that Scientology is a scam and a dangerous cult, which is not accurate. Scientology is a choice, and church members must make the choice to practice the religion on their own. Even children must make this choice on their own to practice Scientology.

In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.
