What hit You the hardest?

Hadn't a clue who or what Chanology was, I knew of Scientology and some of its evil and would talk against them whenever I had the chance. I had no idea just how evil they really where. What brought me to all that?

It was the declaration of war on scientology by Anonymous. I followed along for fun at first, then realized they where doing what I had been doing (on a much smaller and uncommitted scale) for years. It inspired me to look into it even more. Now I've gone from evil cult fighting, to realizing there are a lot of people within scientology that need help getting out.

I'm not going to single out just one article... Lisa McPherson started the outrage but Paulette Coopers story, all the "operations" and each time I learn something new or scientology does something else outrageous/stupid it just keeps fanning the flames.

I've been fighting for the little guy my whole life... for all those inside that need to get out and for all those that are being woken up to the dangers is what is now keeping me going.

Many things but the one right now that's staying in my mind is the organization's inability to have any self introspection, the group's inability to admit a single error (which is odd given their obsession with the individual's "crimes") and their inability to put forth even the barest, minimal apology. And, as a collective, they will not survive because of this. It's like they've designed themselves to self-destruct. Why? Most disturbing to observe.

As a group, they left out gratitude and forgiveness (seeking and giving), also love and heartfelt communication. They don't have a healthy vibration.

Edit: for further thought...
They want to bigger and communicate like a god (or become bigger anyhow) but seems they negated a key capacity:

the desire and ability to LISTEN.

also another thing that hit hardest is reading they sent a man into Paulette Cooper's household to destroy her and he did this by gaining her love as the one person in her unraveling life who appeared as a friend, to understand her and love her, a person at the end of her rope she trusted with her heart. And he was just there mimicing the motions of human compassion and coldly plotting her demise.

In truth, what kind of soul does this?
And, even more important, what GROUP OF SOULS would advocate this?
----------

They feed the ego by starving the soul...uhm, an attempted suicide?

What hit me the hardest and made me realize what a dangerous threat to our democracys all over the world the Co$ is, was when the Co$ made the Swedish parlament change our constitution. For more info read about the Zenon Panoussis case.

That was in the late 90's. I started to educate myself about the cult, found OCMB and it was like opening a can of snakes. The horrors caused by the "church" are so many, it's hard to say what's the worst. The deaths, lies, disconnection, slavery, intimidation, fair game and the list goes on and on and on. It was like reading about a Stalinist gulag organization... only that it is happening right here, right now, in civilized democracys! And they are protected from any investigation under the laws of freedom of religion!

I have lurked on the OMCB ever since, but I've been frustrated that there is so little I can do to stop the Co$ from doing their evils. I was thrilled when Anonymous stepped up this year and things actually started to happen all over the world. I myself think that the "Postcards from Paradise" is an excellent idea - everybody can join in and actually _do_ something, even if you're a middle aged housewife in the middle of nowhere! Finally!

^ This. I have second-hand experience of Scientology so I had an idea of what the scam does to its rank-and-file members. But there wasn't much I felt I could do until things actually started to HAPPEN this year.

Since then the thing that's hit me the hardest is realizing that this group has a cozy deal with the IRS that basically subsidizes their abusive, criminal activities. Would that I could get such a deal-- I'd subsidize me some delicious caek.

What did it for me?... I'd always known Scientology was "kooky", never known about how deep their evil ran, but when Beck first appeared I knew he was a scientologist- initially I though it was like "christian science" or something but I quickly realized it wasn't even close to that intelligence.

Lately, what tipped me over into angry "this has to stop" mode is just hearing about how wrong it is, as an organization. There's no better word for it. WRONG. The story Tory told about the children axing themselves is perfect evidence - what kind of a religion produces that result?

Hearing about Lisa made me angry as well. I'm not the most perfect person on earth but I still say that a business that embraces evil, manipulation, greed and avarice has no place in modern society. I'm trying to be a little vague on details because if I think about it, I'll get too angry and then my posts will make no sense at all.

They're just wrong. I don't want to exist in a world where people are allowed to do these things to their fellow man. This is above any genocide or any race-related atrocities. This goes straight to the core of amplifying and then preying on peoples paranoia, peoples fear of the unknown and peoples desire to help other people. How wrong is that? The cult is perverting the desire to help others for the sole purpose of widening it's black, hellspawned footprint.

OH. There's the anger. I'm going to stop posting now.

The unfunny truth got me in, the story of Lisa was the catalyst, I kept on going into the rabbit hole afterwards and every new story hooks me deeper.

The first thing that really slammed me in the face was The Unfunny Truth About Scientology on ytmnd. It was one of the first videos I watched after I saw the Tom Cruise video. I had heard of Scientology before, but not these stories. The shock of how many had actually been abused and killed by the church got me interested into finding out more.

The Unfunny Truth may have been what got me interested in the first place, but what really got me pissed off personally was all the censorship. I can't pin it down to a single case or video, but the facts that kept pouring in from everywhere I went to find out more information just got me so mad I felt that I had to do something about it. And here I am.

I just now noticed that there exists an Unfunny Sequel as well! :o

I'd say McPherson right now. Mostly McPherson for having seen her autopsy photos, and the idea of being held in a room for 17 days like that. It was like the movie Oldboy, but somehow worse even though it was a shorter time being held in the room. What I read really made me sick to my stomache.

Though what orignally got me into this whole thing was, as said about, the ytmnd Unfunny Truth video. Pretty damn scary, I use to think it was just some fad religion that shouldn't be taken too seriously, cause, well, Tom fuckin' Cruise.

It is really horrible, isn't it.

I'm a cynic by nature, and I have to admit that I don't have much respect or tolerance for my "fellow man" - I find most people to be dolorously unintelligent and just plain irritating. Goes with being a cynic, I guess.

Even with that, things like lisa mcpherson and paulette cooper and even what they did to Lonsdale (i refuse to believe that was suicide. I'd just as soon believe God had died and I was elected by the people to take over his throne) really do get through my admittedly misanthropic shell.

Why? Why are they allowed to get away with this? For me it's just an extension of what I see in everyday life - the people with the money and the power fucking the little guy in the ass. And so what if that sounds a bit tinfoil-hatty. It's fucking true, and at least I've disposed of my rose-tinted goggles and view the world as it is.

Ugh. It's 11.50pm and I'm kinda drunk. Not the best way to be posting, really.

Many years and many computers ago on an early P2P program, (long before Anon) I ran across a shared text file titled "Death of a Scientologist". I read it and it was about Lisa McPherson. I have been a rabid critic since that day.
I will never get bored and move on. I am in this till the finish.

Man... Lisa's photos and case have brought so many of us on-board, here. Amazing... And it's inspiring that something so good can spring forth out of something so horribly wretched and evil. That so struck me... the photos and stories.. I'm here to the end, if I end up as the last one standing, and I have to fucking do it alone!
