Scientology...

Scientology is a religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard. It is based on a person being an immortal spiritual being, whose survival depends on themselves and is their attainment of brotherhood with others and the universe.

Clearwater, Florida, the Scientology headquarters. Many have tried to destroy Scientology's hope by sabotaging them. Within hours of a video being posted on YouTube by the group Anonymous, the scientology main website was hacked and shut down. Also their worldwide offices were flooded with prank phone calls and black faxes (pages of blank black pages). This lost them many ink cartridges and tied up their phone lines. Also secret Church documents, videos, lectures, and course materials were leaked onto YouTube and other many websites. This hacking and disruption of their website went on for 3 days causing many to show how they feel about Scientology, but using pickets and protesting instead. What many don't know though, is what actually is going on within the Church. An incident awhile back showed documents to target an investigative journalist who wrote on the scandal of Scientology. She said that they infiltrated her life and framed her. Many former Scientologists who have spoken out to the media and others have ended up being cut off from their families and friends. It is told that Scientologists are even forbidden from showing themselves to certain websites. Also, they do not believe in the use of both psychiatric and neurological drugs. So that goes to show you, is there actually some sabotaging going on inside the Church or is it just another publicity scandal?
