Last updated on: March 31, 2021 at 6:45 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientology is the Philosophy of Facing and Handling Life

Last updated on: December 17, 2020 at 4:07 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientology is the philosophy of facing and handling life says Scientologist Rodger Clark. This blog was originally published on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website and is reprinted here with their permission.

Are Scientologists Told What to Think?

Last updated on: December 3, 2020 at 2:12 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Wil Seabrook, who blogs for STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) answers the question, “Are Scientologists Told What to Think,” published here with the permission of STAND. One ridiculous criticism I sometimes hear or read about my church is that Scientologists are told what to think about various subjects. That idea is especially ridiculous because, as a person studies and applies Scientology to more and more areas of life, their ability to think analytically and rationally and make positive decisions...

Last updated on: November 12, 2020 at 1:44 pm By ScientologyBeliefs

Why tolerance isn’t enough by Scientologist Michael Scandling, originally published on the STAND (Scientologists Taking Action Against Discrimination) website and republished with their permission. Tolerance isn’t enough I’m going to dispense with all the apologetic nonsense and get right to it: I don’t like artichokes. It’s not some namby-pamby “I don’t care for them.” I don’t like ’em.
