Scientology Part II - The Effects It Has On Its Members and Society
Man, this is really hard. There is so much information on Scientology and how it effects the society, I don't know where to start! There are websites with hours worth of articles on Scientology - so I'll just try to give an essay sized version of it. If you know more about this topic than me, and my information is not completely accurate, I am sorry. I'm going to try to just scratch the surface of the CoS, or Church of Scientology.Scientology and the Internet
I guess I will start with the ongoing fight between Scientology and the Internet. It started in the mid 90's when anti-cultists started posting 'classified' Scientology information in order to inform the world on it. Many people's computers were raided for this alledgedly stolen property. A few years later the CoS went as far as to put tons of spam on anti-scientology web sites, trying to convince people to avoid these sites. Scientology made 116,000 scientology web pages (all containing the SAME information) just so when people searched for scientology in like, google, all it would come up with was all these webs sites...just so no one could find a site that said bad stuff about them. Anti-scientologist were what members of the CoS considered 'fair game', the name they gave their 'enemy'. The following is what scientologist were to do with 'fair game': ENEMY SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed. (Scientologists will ay to this that there was a Fair Game policy cancellation letter written in 1968, but many believe that it is a policy still enforced.)
