    Hey Respectful. So you ARE a tool of the PsychoPhramaceutical industry! Is that why you refuse to answer the question as to how much ad revenue Newsweek gets from the major Big Pharam drug pushers that are devastating America with ther killer drugs like Prozac and Ritalin? Since Scientology exposes their profit motivated havoc, it is attacked - no other reason. By the way here is an addition to your assignment - Google Vistaril. Here is what you omitted in your prior post:

    GENERIC NAME: hydroxyzine
    BRAND NAMES: Atarax; Vistaril
    DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine with anticholinergic (drying) and sedative properties that is used to treat allergic reactions. The body releases histamine during several types of allergic reactions and??????to a lesser extent??????during some viral infections, such as the common cold. When histamine binds to its receptors on cells, it causes the cells to release chemical messengers that lead to sneezing, itching, and increased mucus production. Antihistamines, like histamine, binds to the histamine receptors, but when they bind to the receptors they do not stimulate the cells to release chemical messengers. In addition, they prevent histamine from binding and stimulating the cells.

    Scientologists are not against all drugs - just the ones that kill for profit and are made by the people that pay for articles like this Newsweek propaganda - it is collateral support.

    To anyone about to post a comment here: Please, before you go on posting about how we're just expressing a hate for this particular belief system, please, PLEASE take 8 minutes and review this leaked video from the LEADER HIMSELF, David Miscaviage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfu7Sr50N7U

    I hope you understand what he is telling you his goal is. Guess? World domination. This is no joke and he's telling you himself. Not to mention his plan to ABOLISH psychiatric and psychological therapy, and even how they plans to do so.

    Now view the proposed replacement called "auditing": http://tinyurl.com/26dxsq (links to video.google.com)

    And THEN post your views. Anonymous is NOT out to attack anyones BELIEFS. Everyone should be free to practice whatever they'd like and we FULLY support this! They should NOT be indoctrinated into it through brainwashing and hypnosis, however. This OUTRAGEOUS and unfortunately is ONLY the tip of the iceburg!

    They are responsible for human rights violations from child abuse, sexual abuse, separation of families, and even murder! See www.whyaretheydead.net for every death the church is responsible for but was never able to be legally charged with. The most well known case was regarding Lisa McPherson who was held against her will for 17 days even though she was in obvious need of professional medical help. Or visit www.exscn.net -- a forum for people who've been able to escape and are many STILL separated from their families. Read their testimonials and see the appalling things they've been through. It's truly sad and this cult must be stopped :(

    PLEASE help Anonymous educate the WORLD on the true inter-workings of this billion-dollar cult!! We will be protesting GLOBALLY on Feb 10, at least drive by your local Scientologist office and give us a honk!

    L Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer "HELLO"! You don't don't suppose his religion was orginally to be a science fiction pulp?

  • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 7:35:09 AM

    Hey Respectful! I thought you dropped out? Since you are into books, here are a few Good ones for you: Rule By Secrecy and Inside Job - Jim Marrs. See if they open YOUR eyes. And since you are into research, why not do some. How much advertising revenue did Newsweek get from drug pushers like Eli Lilly and Novartis last year? Braiker's article is called collateral support in exchange for the advertising revenues. The drug companies are getting hit hard for the murder and mayhem they visit on America. That is why tools like Braiker write articles attacking Scientology. They are paid to do so. And dupes like the Anonymous crowd are , either wittingly or no, accomplices in their crimes.

      mabie the not so silent few arent as silly as you think...at least newsweek was willing to allow our posts and write an article about it..i dont see many of the other news sites doing the same...we actually have an open forum here.

      • Posted By: respectful_anon @ 02/09/2008 7:44:59 AM

        You still haven't answered my question either. You simply are trying to change the subject and thwart my question away.

        If you are so free, why can't you read any book of your desire?

        Answer it.

        • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 7:53:48 AM

          Hi respectful - where on earth do you get your data?? On the Scientologist ministers course is a study of every major religion and their texts. Have YOU read the Bible? Quran? Bhagavad Gita? Vedic Hymns? Rites of Masonic lodges? Well have you? Have you read Dianetics? Funfdamentals of thought? Problems of Work? Have you?

          • Posted By: Deomorto @ 02/09/2008 9:08:09 AM

            liar liar pants on fire.

            There is about four pages on "other religions in the scientology "ministers" course

            And yeah - I did the course so you just got exposed.

      • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 7:44:53 AM

        Good point Stiffler - I agree with you on that - free speech is, foruunately, still alive and well in America!

    • Posted By: Deomorto @ 02/09/2008 8:00:13 AM

      wow - you certainly got your marching orders from the CofS and CCHR didntcha? It's a real shame that you didn't bother to go and research what drugs the companies you are so busy trashing actually produced that made peoples, many millions of peoples, lives better. But oh no - you come on here and shill for a cult that spits on its own people. Allows], through neglect, children to be abused and neglected and, in the end tosses some of its most dedicated people out when they can no longer work.

      Maybe newsweek and the rest could do a story on hop

    Listen L Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer "HELLO"!

    I have seen the tragic results of people being influenced by this insidious organization. The Church of Scientology organization is a mere curtain guising the money generating corporation that it is. It enslaves it's converts, placing them in cubicles. The new students of Scientology are charged exhorbitant amounts of money to study the religion and to learn how to support the orgnanization. They do indeed ostracize their own family when they perceive the compassion and knowledge of their family as a threat to diminish the reputation and indoctrination tactics of the organization.

  • Posted By: tryanotherday @ 02/09/2008 8:12:44 AM

    I'm not a religious person, and I have no intention of becoming a believer of any religion because they're all restrictive in there own way but North America was built on the idea that anyone is able to believe and follow what there heart tells them and these "Anonymous" people are trying to take away the freedoms of the scientologists therefore they are no better then these so called scientologists. What gives you the right to decide for people what they should and should not believe, I truly can't stand people who try to force their views on others? Get over it and start worrying about yourself and your own pathetic life.

    • Posted By: Deomorto @ 02/09/2008 8:44:25 AM

      roflmao!1 So you think that someone should not speak out against something they think is vile? Why should they not? Scientology attempts to convert others to its beliefs, it attempts to control its members. The same "right" that it has to promote itself and its odious practices also gives others the right to speak out against it.

      Or are you just one sided in your "beliefs"?

  • Posted By: daplane @ 02/09/2008 8:43:36 AM

    Simple and plain, scientology has broken the law and has hurt/killed people. This is documented fact. Spend all of 10 minutes on the internet researching them and that will be unavoidably apparent. Watch video after video on YouTube of them harassing people, even threatening blatently. Spend 10 minutes using Google and find individual after individual that was hurt by this group. Watch the mentioned leaked video and see for yourself how fanatical and crazy AND IGNORANT Cruise was. Read the documents and materials widely available now about the CoS - then after taking it all in, TELL ME WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT THEY ARE NOT A CULT, ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAW AND ARE NOT A REAL RELIGION.

    Religious persecution? Let's cut the BS already and stop acting like this is one group simply spitting out lies about another - fact is fact. Live and let live? Sure, so long as the people you're "letting live" aren't hurting or killing others....and scientologists most definitely are. Anon is simply turning the CoS' own tactics back on them - in particular fair game. The difference is....anon can answer the questions asked of it, yet scientologists don't seem to be able to do so....the whole "what are your crimes" video on YouTube comes to mind.....

    WHAT ARE MY CRIMES? WELL, in a previous life I was L Ron Hubbard and I created a fake religion to make money off - and that's just for starters......

    scientology is just something for bored rich people to do with their money. if they let a poor person in once in awhile it is just to make themselves look good. it is just amoney game.

  • Posted By: lets.spiceitup @ 02/09/2008 8:21:46 AM

    You all need to get your facts straight. Scientology doesn't make anyone DO anything. In the case of disconnecting...a person can disconnect OR handle the situation. People choose to disconnect because they can't handle the person or situation. Scientology and their live applications are not for everyone. People that are other-determined have no business in it.

    • Posted By: WasInNowOverIt @ 02/09/2008 8:42:21 AM

      Here's a link to a thread where an ex Scientologist talks about the head of Scientology breaking up couples at the top of the organization.

    • Posted By: WasInNowOverIt @ 02/09/2008 8:36:03 AM

      I am an ex-Scientologist. I was in for 14 years. I can tell you that this statement is completely and totally false. The only "handle" that is allowed is for the person to "atone for their sins" against Scientology. Otherwise, all Scientologists "in good standing" are ordered to disconnect from him. One source is forum.exscn.net. There are tons of stories there about forced disconnection.

  • Posted By: 1chance @ 02/09/2008 8:06:07 AM

    ceo...stop saying the same thing over and over and over. your boring us with your lack of an idea to come up with something new. we heard you the first time about the drug crap you keep bringing up

    • Posted By: respectful_anon @ 02/09/2008 8:14:35 AM

      Several people have reporeted him for abuse on this system for that very reason. He refuses to add anything pertinant to the discussion besides the same irrelavent nonsense he keeps going on about. I encourage him to continue to do so, personally. This way the rest of the world who views this article can see right here right now exactly what his tactics are. He doesn't understand he's only hurting his own religions image. It's cool, he's only helping us along in our goal.

      • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 8:39:40 AM

        Bye Bye "respectful" it has been fun plumbing the great depths of your very intellectual and powerful "anonymous" movement. Don't forget to do your homework on Newsweek and their control by the drug profiteering PsychoPharmaceutical cartel. Go Scientology!

    • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 8:10:17 AM

      Good morning 1chance - how is your day going?

  • Posted By: 1chance @ 02/09/2008 8:39:22 AM

    yep im out to. have a nice day everyone, and remember...Jesus loves you!
    (go ahead and talk about that for hours)

  • Posted By: suesubaru @ 02/09/2008 8:38:51 AM

    scientology is just something for rich people to do with their money because they are bored.

  • Posted By: 1chance @ 02/09/2008 8:21:50 AM

    and thank you CEO, i am sure she will be well!

  • Posted By: ceocomp @ 02/09/2008 8:31:02 AM

    Thanks for the discussion guys. Got to go - to the 50th anniversary of the Johannesburg South Africa Church of Scientology celebration tonight. Even though Scientology has been flourishing worldwide for over 50 years, it is still relatively new. All new movements seem to get a hard time. Christians were probably fed to the lions for longer than Scientology has been around. The modern day despotic equivalents to Roman Emperors include the leaders of the Psychiatric Pharmaceutical cartel. Rather than lions they use the more "civilized" methods of oppression like drugs and propaganda against anyone who exposes their profit motivated agenda to drug us all silly and put us in a super controlled police state. ???Reporters??? like Brian Braiker KNOW they have been paid to attempt a hatchet job on Scientology. Unfortunately for him and the drug pushing publishers of Newsweek, Scientology grows even faster with this kind of attack. The human spirit and truth always triumphs over oppression. Go Scientology!!!

    omg dear God! live & let live. The reason anyone is causing such a stupid stink about this is because they are so fearful themselves. As long as folks are coming from love in any religion its fine. We all are more alike than different. After all were all human. Get a life & get in touch with the omni present that is in all of us & all around.
