Deana, do you think you are brave because you infiltrated peaceful Scientologists who are trying to be in communication with each other?

Do you think you have accomplished anything now that your "reliable source" has given you incorrect information?

What are you trying to play? 007? Your OPC friend in Germany tried unsuccessfully in Switzerland and now is facing criminal charges. Keep going - and you are heading in the same direction.

You and your friends have left fingerprints all over the place by attempting to hack into the web page (you know which one I am referring to). I believe someone said that hacking is a federal offense in the United States or do you think you are above the law? Granted that you never made it as a lawyer, but you should at least know that you are engaging in illegal acts.

Let me see if I understood this right:

1) When you steal, abuse copyrighted materials, infiltrate, spy, harass a religion, cause hatred and other violent activities it is all done under the guise of FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

2) When peaceful Scientologists want to have their web sites on the Internet you call it spamming. I call it harassment and oppression of freedom of speech.!!

I don't know what you want or what you are trying to accomplish. You never stepped into a Church of Scientology, but you pretend to know all about it because you have been brainwashed to believe all the lies that you repeat almost daily.

Do you know that YOU cost a mother her baby and that she is now paralyzed for life? Do you know that again yesterday one of your members vandalized one of the Churches? Do you know that because of your hate campaign there are bomb threats being made? Do you know about break-in and entries being made? Do you know about the death threats? Shall I continue? Don't try to deny it. Every single posting you have made on ars just conveys one message: HATE!

You have an obsession about religions. You are trying to do to Scientology what you unsuccessfully tried to do to the Mormons. You have a history of harassing religions - that's what makes you a BIGOT! In case you don't understand what a bigot is let me help you out. A bigot is a person who holds blindly and intolerantly to a particular creed, opinion etc. In other words it is a narrow-minded person. Keep harassing, keep hacking, keep spamming as your very actions will sooner or later entrap you in your own web.

Rod.
