The “Anonymous” Group attack on Scientology

Barely making it to national television newscasts yet followed day-by-day on numerous internet sites is the internet group “Anonymous” and their attempt to take down scientology. I haven’t been personally following every little story but I try to catch the groups’ internet press videos where they use a really creepy, jagged, robotic voice with a background of only fast moving clouds. One honorable aspect of the group is that they actually aren’t attacking the ideals behind the religion of Scientology. They don’t believe it’s their place to judge any religion. Instead they are trying to expose the corrupt leaders behind the religion and their violent, abusive practices against people who try to escape. Some of the groups’ direct objectives are to get rid of Scientology’s tax exempt status which places Scientology even above other religions. They also work to expose the religion’s criminal practices to public scrutiny. I remember reading a story of a women who tried to escape from one of their compounds but was found, dragged back to a church of Scientology and then locked in a room for days with no food or water. When she died a medical autopsy revealed so many bug bites that it’s safe to use the phrase “eaten alive”. Recently the group has rallied and staged protests at Scientology churches where they wear masks to represent “Anonymous”. I don’t really believe these protests will get anywhere but I’m all for using actual political power to revoke tax exempt status. This seems like a great move forward that could hamper the tainted religion’s explosive growth.
