Taking on Anonymous is like taking on the world. The Scientologists will have to call on their Intergalactic allies. Any strange noises you hear are the sounds of them arriving. Like that tornado in Atlanta...

Hmm... the videos are gone. Anyone know where a backup may be hiding?

PS.
We are Anonymous. We are legion, etc.

Ah yes, I'm sure that all those calls were from Anon and not crafted as tools by the COS in an attempt to generate sympathy.

Surely they wouldn't do anything illegal, especially not the higher-ups within the church. Because we've all seen how upstanding, logical, and classy the COS has stayed throughout the years, from Lisa McPherson to Operation Snow White.

Iraq may not have had weapons of mass destruction but the Church of Scientology does. The greatest act of terrorism launched against society as a whole was the release of Battlefield Earth in 2000. Our police forces should be sued if using the threat of a private screening of BE hosted by Tom Cruise in order to obtain a confession. Forcing prisoners of war to view the movie even once can be construed as a violation of rules against torture set by the Geneva Convention.

At least a bomb sniffing dog wouldn't have to change it's job title if it went from searching for explosives to copies of Battlefield Earth.

The Church of Scientology is a dangerous cult. Information is free. Threats and attempts at intimidation are nothing in the face of pure logic. This shit's hilarious and ridiculous.

It's probably just people trolling Anon, some of them would think it was pretty funny to do so, just makes the wrath against Co$ all the more virulent.

According to a little known legend, Tom engaged in some risky business when he, and a few good men, sat down for an interview with Anne Coulter . . . er, a vampire. In the end, she declared her endless love for him, but he, alas, did not get "the firm" when thinking about her. Rebuked, she decided to live as one of the outsiders, lost and lonely, wearing only a white dress and carrying a single magnolia blossom.

he has. he just decided to please the public by letting the story play out.

he also is the real owner of Linderman's Company, is the true god of the Cylons, cured House's leg and is responsible for letting bionic woman get the axe.

he is a merciful Scientologist.

Looks like they can only find folks if they live around Southern California. That's grand. I think they're doing one of those protests here in Austin tomorrow. I usually just giggle and walk on by that building on The Drag. Can't believe anyone on campus is actually dumb enough to go in there looking for real answers.

I'm just pissed at them because they bought out the arcade down there that would stay open until something like 3am and also a great little potato restaurant. I loved those places. Xenu must not like video games and baked potatoes.

Injunctions? Restraining orders? St. Peter told the Romans "Yeah, go ahead, crucify me. Actually, you know what: Fuck you, crucify me upside down!" Not only is Scientology's mythology the only cliche that isn't actually a cliche but is so awful it comes off as a cliche, but, apparently, they're big, whiny pussies as well. I think they forgot to insert the power crystals.

the one thing anonymous didn't count on was the force of the tropical thunder counterattack planned by CO$. the videos produced by the church were horrifying--as if they sat down for an interview with a vampire. no matter their classification, it felt as if the entire video was a new media nightmare; like that movie lions for lambs.

@Furious George:
you have no clue about the powers of tom cruise. some choice (and rather delicious) copypasta from the internet:

Tom Cruise is driving down the freeway in a black BMW. His
Sciento-sense starts to tingle as he sees a four car pile up just
ahead. He skids to a halt and leaps through the roof of his sedan,
flying high in the air and landing in the middle of the twisted
wreckage rippling asphalt beneath him. He is calm.

"Stand back, emergency workers," he announces. "Put down your
jaws-of-life and crowbars. I am a Scientologist."

A collective gasp is audible as the gathered crowd of firemen,
paramedics and onlookers collectively take three steps back.

"Give him room," a fireman says, "Let him do his work."

Tom Cruise makes his way through the wreckage to the first vehicle.
The smoke is thick and parching, but he can sense a woman,
mid-thirties, is still alive. He claps his hands together once then
parts them as if brushing back curtains. The smoke lifts. He is using
his mind to keep the woman's vitals stable. Her blood pressure and
heart rate are approaching normal. She is experiancing his mixture of
science and love. His Scientology.

He closes his eyes and takes two handfuls of the twisted metal
encasing the woman. Anne is her name. She isn't afraid. She is in the
most capable hands in the world. The hands of a Scientologist. The
hands of Tom Cruise. The car wrenches and shrieks as he cleaves the
metal husk in twain. As if cracking an egg he deposits Anne safely on
the ground, holding two halves of an automobile above his head. Tom
Cruise heaves the vehicle skyward and it disappears; a speck over the
horizon.

"How can I than..." Anne begins as a well manicured finger is pressed
to her lips.

"Your thanks isn't necessary. I'm a Scientologist. This is what we do."

I hate to expose, like, a fundamental flaw in Scientology doctrine and all. But assuming they have all these crazy, superpowered, time-and-space-manipulating OTVIIIs on staff, couldn't they just go back in time and prevent this Anonymous stuff from happening? Where is Tom Cruise, the self-proclaimed creator of "new and better realities?"

I'm beginning to see the cracks in my once ironclad faith in the teachings of LRH, and I don't like it one bit.
