Scientology Hides From Anonymous?

scientology_containers.jpg
WALL OF SILENCE Containers, Church
There's something fishy going on at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles, and not just the normal fishy Scientology stuff. By the looks of these pictures posted to Flickr by former Scientologist Chuck Beatty, it seems the church is preparing for some kind of nuclear attack. Or maybe just another Anonymous protest. The pictures show stacks of shipping containers in front of the Los Angeles church. Beatty writes that it's a part of "the hiding policy of L. Ron Hubbard" meant to "shield themselves from the anonymous demonstrators."

Is it an attempt to keep Anonymous' message from reaching the impressionable members of the church? Or more about preventing them from having to look at the unsightly protesters? We called the Los Angeles church to ask but they haven't called back yet. Maybe all the containers muffle the sound of the phone.

Comments

Oh well so much for "Confront. Shatter supression." All the shipping containers in the world cannot hide the truth.

ATTENTION SCIENTOLOGY: YOUR SHIPMENT OF FAIL HAS ARRIVED.

To paraphrase someone: "Sometimes a shipping container is just a shipping container..."

Sure. Just shipping containers. Stacked two-high, butt ending each other for "easy access" to the blocked doors? Yep. Perfectly normal use of shipping containers. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Ooooh good idea! I am going to suggest to my Pastor that our Church have shipping containers shipped in to line the street and block the view! After all it obviously must make membership swell because potential members feel so invited and welcome.

Re: mem555. No mate, a shipping container is always a shipping container. It's not the containers that are odd it's where they're placed, who put them there and why they are there that's really odd/ childish/ if I close my eyes you can't see me that we all think is looney. We all realise they are containers. Could it possibly be that you are hiding from Anonymous. these 'kids' that call you a cult. These 'kids' that you run to the police /lawyers every time possible. Please - shipping containers wtf - explain. And please don't tell us to read a Scientology book OR to come inside to talk. Just tell us why the shipping containers are there.

It's sweet to think that the cult is now having to rent and pay for moving these containers simply so their parishioners won't be "contaminated" by the outside world. Every dime they spend on things like this is another dime DM doesn't own!

How the hell did they even get those things setup? i've never seen that kind of container outside of a warehouse district, on a train, or loaded on a cargo ship.

that is so ridiculously hilarious. there is absolutely no possible reason for placing those containers in that location _and_ stacked. there's probably a regulation against that kind of hazard anyway.

The containers were moved. Now they're putting up a tent to prevent their membership from seeing Anonymous.
