The Toronto District School Board, City Hall, and Toronto Police have established a joint task force to thwart Scientology’s efforts to recruit children of all ages to their religious cult.
What Scientology has done:
Aggressively recruited outside of Elementary, Middle and High schools.
Assaulted children who spoke out against them, and made bogus reports claiming the opposite.
Taken “Donations” from children as young as 11 years of age.
Know to say “We can solve all your problems”, “School and family are not the answer, you need us” and “Scientology can save you”.
What is Scientology?
Scientology is a religious cult that encourages their members to donate their life savings to the “church”.
Scientology has a practice of telling new members to cut off all communication with family and friends.
Scientologists worship alien gods and believe in reincarnation. They have a practice called “auditing” whereby a person divulges all their secrets to the auditor, the auditor then keeps these secrets on file for purposes of Blackmail.

11/2/08 BBC:
"In a video statement broadcast online, the organisers said: "The idea of Anonymous is to systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form."
They said they were campaigning against "toxic ideals" and a "corrupt leadership", not the beliefs of members."
This is the sort of publicity we require if we are to be successful. With reports like that we are much less likely to be considered bigots.
Good work everyone that participated on Sunday!
__________________________
SCIENTOLOGY IS A CULT
Their higher members are terrified of people investigating them.
They spied on the BBC
People are harassed and killed by scientology.
It needs to stop.
They want to infiltrate all levels of our society as they have done in America.
Please can I make a very serious point to critics of this group who are from/not from scientology. You are very welcome, but please can you bare this in mind:
QUOTE from Sean Coles wall post
We are not against the beliefs of Scientology, we are against the actions that are taken by them.
What Christianity, Islam, or whomever did in the distant past is of no relevance. Just because groups of people got away with injustices of the past doesn't mean that a current group should be allowed to get away with it in the present. The things they do are wrong and those wrongdoings should be put into the spotlight.
This movement is more about awareness than anything else. Anonymous knows that it cannot do anything on its own. The best that we can do, at present time, is to increase awareness. With more awareness comes more support. With more support comes a chance to right the wrongdoings.
I will get in a lot of trouble for posting this. Evidently they are getting dangerous.

Snow / Ice Driving Tips
- Drive below the posted speed limit
- Don't get in any hurry
- When starting off from a dead stop, take your foot off of the brake and allow your vehicle to move forward on its own idle speed, do not give your vehicle any gas until you are moving forward under control again.
- Always allow yourself plenty of distance from any vehicle in front of you for reasons like stopping, an obstacle in the roadway, a signal light or stop sign.
- When necessary to stop or slow down, lightly tap your brakes until you have dropped down to your desired speed or stop. Do not stomp on your brakes, this will only cause your vehicle to slide and that you will lose control.
- If your vehicle goes into a slide, take your foot off of your gas pedal slowly as your speed declines, and slowly turn your steering wheel in the direction that your vehicle is sliding, example, if you are sliding toward the right, turn your steering wheel right, left slide, turn it to your left. Remember to turn into the direction of your slide.
This will allow the driver to use their heater for staying warm, knowing their gas tank is full. If having to pull over off the side of the road, try and find some level ground and to make sure that you are parked off of the roadway enough for your own safety and the safety of others. Turn your emergency flashers on and keep them on. If your vehicle is in good condition, you might turn your car off and save some fuel until it becomes cold again, then start your vehicle back up, if you fear that your car may not start again, leave the engine running, do not shut the car off.
It is also a good idea to store these items in your vehicle before the bad weather hits, things like a cell phone with a charger cord, thick blanket, flashlight, a piece of cardboard that can be placed under a tire should one get stuck in the snow, a heavy-duty jacket, Ice scraper, winter coveralls, snow boots, a small shovel, some long-term snacks, a 'I NEED HELP SIGN', these ideas help believe me. Always remember to keep your doors locked, that you never open your door to any stranger, tell the helping motorist to get you some help from a law enforcement agency, and to wait for that police officer to show up. Right? Right. It is also true and sad, that there are fanatical idiot drivers on the road too.
Yes, a four-way stop sign means stop to all motorists. But, when driving and approaching a four-way stop sign when ice is on the road, do not stop if possible, continue driving through the intersection slowly, because the driver behind you may not be able to stop in time. This also allows the drivers behind you to maintain their traction and from getting stuck waiting on the parked driver in front of them. This same rule applies for drivers driving uphill on ice approaching a four-way stop sign. Have some courtesy for the drivers behind you.
Thinking smart and being a Cautious Driver during Hazardous Weather Conditions is very nice, and a safe idea too, but in the real world we all know everybody does not adhere to safety or respect for other drivers. I shook my head sadly to hear a t.v. reporter this weekend say "Mother Nature" was responsible for 6 deaths this weekend. I wanted to tell her," No, lady! It's the friggin idiots that THINK they know how to drive 55 in a snow storm!" Or how bout the idiots that think because they have FOUR WHEEL DRIVE vehicles, they can drive when and however they like on ICE.
During this special time, People begin to hurry around shopping for Christmas gifts, visiting and or are generally preoccupied with something else on their minds or a cell phone crammed in their ear while driving. This practice while driving is dangerous enough on dry pavement than trying it on a road covered with ice.
This season will be no different, we will have those idiot drivers who think they are expert drivers, who don't care about paying attention to their own driving, that will speed around on ice or drive crazy through road construction sites during hazardous road conditions. These people endanger their own life as well as the lives of other people when doing so.
Hazardous road conditions are bad enough to be driving on, so when a dumb *** adds beer drinking, horse playing, showing off, cell phone conversations or looking down at the floor board for whatever reasons, they will get someone injured or killed. People need to drive safely, cautiously and to give other drivers plenty of room.
If these crazy drivers are driving recklessly because they are in a hurry, or think it is cool, they are wrong. I suggest that they leave earlier to wherever they are going, so that they won't have to hurry. So, during this time, stay alert, keep your eyes on the road, for other drivers' driving, and especially watchful for that Rambo moron driving up behind you like a bat out of hell. This is excellent advise to be mindful of during this season. Maybe, this information will save someone's life.

My mother had a borderline personality disorder. This wasn’t clear to me as a child- I simply thought she was a
moody bitch who liked to throw things, threaten abandoning us, vomit after dinner, and scream at my father ( who refused to fight with her) . But as an adult therapist I began to understand: 1.] why women with borderline personality disorders were impossible for me to treat, and 2.] that since my mother fit all the criteria, sadly, I grew up thinking her behaviors were normal. Eventually I came to be able to use myself as a barometer to measure axis 2 in clients because when I began to feel sympathetic, protective and even responsible I had better examine the possibility of BPD. Eventually I learned to set limits and function reasonably well – ok at least not get totally taken in and sucked down by them- around them.
I knew for a long time that my younger sister clearly had a PD. I assumed anti social as she had a long history of criminal and exploitative behavior. I mean this is not a woman to whom you gave the keys to your house; she would steal the silver. After our mother died and I spent a fair amount of time with her over funeral arrangements etc she confessed that she was diagnosed with BPD and it all fell into place. Later when it was evident that she had pilfered major money from the estate and used undue influence to get the house signed over to her I was able to successfully use my knowledge of bpd + transitional objects + idealization/rage to successfully get my fair share of the estate without insulting her or using the tactics she used… rageful scenes, threats, cajoling, tantrums etc. It was a triumphant moment in my life to finally say I am not going to be stomped on by my families illnesses.
Why does this come up today? She has a daughter. A lovely talented woman who is graduating from an ivy this spring and I decided that now that she is “emancipated" and over 21 I would see if she wanted to resume contact. Our initial e-mails were not promising. She used a lot of the same all or nothing talk that borderlines use and she projected all over the place. Even blamed me for not having contact with her when she wrote me several years ago that she couldn't continue to talk to me because of my relationship with her mother.
Since I know full well what it’s like to be raised by a borderline I wonder how this young woman can possibly have escaped wiythout serious scars? As a young woman I was prone to hysterics and drama. Not diagnosable behavior but certainly behavior that was continually modeled by my mom. Behaviors I had to work hard to stop and leave behind. And here is this young woman who may not even KNOW how ill her mother is and do you think I want to be the one who tells her. No way. And without that insight is she going to be able to monitor the behaviors that are learned from the ones that are hers on her own right. I mean if I wait till she is 40, hoping she figures it out by then, I will never have a relationship with this niece, and maybe that’s for the best. Who knows.
Another night spent tossing and turning.
I woke up yesterday morning around 5 a.m. mumbling my social security number because in the dream world I had just backed into someone's car. It seemed so real.
I've been dealing with real humidity for the first time in almost two years and it's been getting to me. The windows have been open at all times for I always hope for a small breeze to come through and offer me a little relief. It often works. Other times I just go outside to let the soft wind envelope me. There's nothing like fresh air.
There's a pregnancy bug running around biting people. Several people I know are pregnant or in fear that they may be pregnant. My adopted sister is due in August, my step-sister is due sometime this month. A friend of mine on the internet might be pregnant although she's hoping she's not. A friend of my boyfriend just found out his wife is pregnant. The chat room I make my morning excursions to talked about pregnancy yesterday. Commercials on the T.V. this morning pinpointed pregnant women. And he turned to me last night and....
"When's the last time you had your depo shot?"
"Late February."
"So you won't need another one until...."
"The end of May. That's why I've been trying to get my insurance squared away."
Is he afraid that I've been bitten by the bug? It's okay for him to be afraid because it is a possibility. Birth control doesn't always work. The doctor did say that it was only 99% effective. There's always that 1% chance that it was quite ineffective. My body has never really reacted to things in a normal fashion.
Am I afraid? Yes, paramountly so. It would mean extra caution after having lost two to miscarriages. It would mean insulin shots.
It would mean the end of an era.
