Usually people distinguish a cult from a mainstream religion based on the level of control that the movement exerts over its members.
Not to mention the fact that Scientology (the study of science?) is chock full of ridiculOus BS. Hell, at least some of the mainstream religions have a bit of history to back them up (i.e., Jesus did actually exist, whether or not you believe him to be the son of God).
They're both ridiculous to non-believers. We're just more used to one than the other. I'm sure if Scientology were to be a mainstream thing for a couple of hundreds of years, people would be willing to talk about Hubbard's space DC10s the same way we talk about the virgin birth or the splitting of the sea, with a sort of benign incredulity at what kinds of silly magics people believe in.

#134I still don't understand why they use this one click hoster, which have a waiting time and limited download rate instead of bittorrent. The files are large enough and I think enough people would seed it. Decentralization is an important point for such data leaks as well.
Well, anonymity over bittorrent is hard(er, at least), and that is probably the reason why the hackers didnt distribute the data in that way. But for us who didnt do the hack, distributing the files is not as bad to be caught doing.
So while the hackers release the data in an anonymus manner, we can easily create a torrent. I would be surprised if one didnt already exist, actually.

He writes also that he has a positive opinion on Scientology. The guy is a cop, so he should know that Scientology is a criminal "organization" and shouldn't support them with money. The whole system Scientology is a huge fraud.
He also write her with his work mail account, which should be another reason to fire him.

#136Can someone alert the relevant authorities of Germany. Yes, they may have already noticed this. But: Kann ein deutscher Sprecher mitteilen, Bundesnachrichtendienst und BfV. http://www.bnd.bund.de/EN/__Home/Startseite/startseite__node... http://www.verfassungsschutz.de/en/index_en.html A least one country takes the threat seriously.
Why should German authorities be bothered with an Austrian leak?

In America here, it's a state recognized religion with a Church of their own. Hell, Tom Cruise is a Scientologist. That cult is a money hoarding organization. I wish this hack attack happened in America.
> In America here, it's a state recognized religion with a Church of their own. So what? There a lots of state recognized religions, and it doesn't mean much. (The state of CA recognizes weddings performed by folks who bought their "ministership" from an advert in Rolling Stone.) > Hell, Tom Cruise is a Scientologist. Again - so what?
The point is that it is regarded as a religion here whether Germany likes it or not.

#138Its unfortunate that they were not distributed via bittorrent and/or a tor hidden service. The files are large enough that downloading them with the "free download" option is a terribly long wait. I do not understand how this has so many upvotes after being up for such a short time. Have that many people actually downloaded the files already? Does anyone have any guesses about the string at the end of the announcemen…
>The files are large enough that downloading them with the "free download" option is a terribly long wait.
Do you have to actually _wait_ for them to download?

#139The original download links are slow. For a torrent of the files see http://www.demonoid.ph/files/details/2949566
