The first paragraph of the Anonymous video transcript:
I don't know what this group is so pissed about. I think you could replace "Scientology" in that paragraph with the names of a few other popular religions and the statement would be just as accurate.

"Hello, leaders of Scientology. We are Anonymous. Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation, your suppression of dissent, your litigious nature, all of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who have come to trust you as leaders has been made clear to us.

Very True, SMan, very true.
If you found Religion, lose it.

SMAN- the group is pissed because COS(Church of Sciencetology) took down their website which had some negative things to say about Scientology and now this group is claiming retribution on 2/10.

Actually, I believe it's the other way around. Anonymous was able to take down the church of scientology's web site sporadically for a week or so through denial of service attacks. The group is part of a larger anti-COS movement reacting to some of the extreme tactics and methods the COS uses. See http://www.xenu.net/ for some interesting reading. This is one bizarre and powerful cult.

This issue has been tackled by radio station talk shows and other forums that I frequent. I agree with SMan. Scientology sounds just as wacky as some other religions.
You want me to drink the blood of Christ? Am I in the movie thread?
This creeps me out. My Husband and I watched both videos last night. Don't ya just know I had a dream I was down town I was alone, all of the stores was empty, the clouds was moving fast, and that dudes voice was saying " I am the anonymous we have been watching you for years, now we have come to get you". I was trying to get into buildings to hide but they was all locked. I than woke up. This is to creepy for me

Not much to worry about unless you're in the church of scientology. Even then, all they're trying to do is disrupt the "church" and expose their practices. Don't lose sleep over it!
